The meaning of my life


Sometimes I think I was a leaf.The meaning of my life is,to contribute and to sacrifice.When it is spring,my mission is to learn how to grow up fast,so that in the summer,my sisters and brothers together with me, can provide others coolness and fun.When it is autumn,my mission is to sacrifice the happy time with my tree mother.She needs more nutrition to survive the winter and prepare to give birth to new "babies" in the next spring.I am supposed to fall into the earth to provide the nutrition for her,for my sisters and brothers who will be born soon.

Sometimes I think I was a butterfly.The meaning of my life is,to tolerant and to wait.When I am a ugly worm,I do not think anybody will like me.However,I shall never look down upon myself,I shall tolerate their misunderstandings,I shall also be patient when I am lonely in the chrysalis.When i am a real butterfly,people envy how beautiful I am and how happy I am,but only I myself know the happy comes from the tolerance and patience.
Sometimes I think I was the sea.The meaning of my life is,to know myself and help others to know themselves.People say that I am mysterious, even I myself think so.I know I am a person with a lot of interesting "characteristics" and "personalities" to be discovered:the countless fished,the amazing coral reefs and various kinds of mammals.I use my whole life to get to know about them and make the most use of them.I let the fished to be caught so that human beings can use them for food,I let the coral reefs stand above the water so that people can enjoy themselves.I also let the sun,moon and stars to see what they really look like and how shining they are so that they can know themselves better.I always give them their real image.
I know I am not the leaf,the butterfly or the sea,I am only myself.However,the meaning of my life are still the same.Life to me means learning things,making friends and thinking about myself and the world,so that I can know more about myself and help others to know themselves.A people who knows himself well will be confident and tolerant,so he will be successful and able to contribute.
That is the meaning of my life,to know,to help,to wait with hope and to enjoy.

About my English name

When i was young,like many children do,i liked animations, especially the "Woody Woodpecker".So,I called myself "wody" inspired by this American animation.
As time went by,I began to read books.After reading Margaret Mitchell's "gone with the wind",I really appreciated the heroine Scarllet's character.So,I chose Bonnie as my English name.Bonnie is Scarllet's daughter and I think they share the same character.Bonnie is from Scottland English,meaning healthy and beautiful which I believe the meaningful life should be~
