My heart beat with that feeling, pumping it like blood to my body as my fingers flew across the piano keys. As the piece neared the end, I stood up to take my final bow. For a second, the room was quiet. Yet, even in that one second, I had enough time to doubt whether I had done everything perfectly. Then, suddenly, the applause came.
“Thank you. . . so much, ”I said, turning to Olga, my piano teacher for six years. “You’ve been an amazing student all these years, ”she said, “and I hope that whatever you do, you never stop practising. ”
I leaned forward, promising I would always keep playing because I loved piano, and hugged her.
It turned out to be that promises weren’t as meaningful as I’d hoped for them to be. Right after quitting, I kept up my strict practicing schedule. Soon, it began slipping away from me. After all, the reason I had stopped taking lessons was that my schedule was busy with homework. Not long after, I stopped practising altogether. It was pleasing
not to have to stress about piano anymore. But something was shifting inside of me. I was empty inside.
One day I met Michelle, who had also taken piano lessons from Olga for quite a while.
“So, are you still taking lessons from Olga? ”She asked. “Um, no, actually I just quit a while ago, ”I replied quickly. “Oh, that’s a shame, ”she responded, “You used to be so good—I remember your performance a year ago; it was breathtaking. ”
Two days after talking to Michelle, I subconsciously(潜意识地)sat down on the bench and started playing. I wasn’t even trying to make the notes sound musically correct. . . I was simply doing what I should have been this entire time, playing, just to be playing.
As the music spread, a familiar feeling rose inside me.

After years of hearing drivers complain about scratches on their cars, Japan’s Nissan Motor Company has officially announced the next big thing—a paint that not only resists scratches and scrapes, but actually repairs itself within a few days.
The new material, developed by Nippon Paint Company, contains an elastic rubbery-like resin(弹性树脂)that is able to heal minor marks caused by car wash equipment, parking lot encounters, road debris(石头碎片)or even on-purpose destruction.
The automaker admits its results vary depending on the temperature and the depth of the damage, but adds this is the only paint like it in the world, and tests prove it works.
Minor scratches, the most common type, are said to slowly fade
