81. Stop to Smell the Flowers p.46

In the hustle and bustle of modern-day life， people seldom stop to enjoy the beauty of nature. Ask yourself how many times you have listened to the birds sing. And when was the last time you looked at the sparkling stars twinkle in the sky？ Time flies and life is short. So don't forget to stop to smell the flowers.
