　　My friend Tim was one of five children. His father was an alcoholic and died very young, and his mother was unable to support the family. Unfortunately, the children were separated and placed in foster homes(收养家庭).
　　Tim dropped out of school and did nothing to further himself. He eventually went through a divorce. Tim’s brother, although experiencing the same childhood, educated himself and got a good job. He has a happy family and a wonderful home.
　　Both brothers gave a similar answer when asked why their lives turned out the way they did. They said, “You’d turn out this way too if you had a childhood like mine.”Neither of the brothers could change his past, but one of them adjusted(调整) his sail.

However, if you believe that there is nothing you can do to turn your life around, then you won’t be able to change your life for the better.
