25、ou never know what youre going to get”? Or do you prefer the phrase from the 1930s song that “life is just a bowl of cherries(樱桃)”? Though simply stated, each conveys a very different view. A “box” implies mystery, because we dont know what is in a closed box. Meanwhile, a “bowl” of cherries is comp

26、letely in view. For many centuries, the metaphor of life that probably burst into most peoples mind was the one suggested by Shakespeare: “All of life is a stage. . . ”On that stage, we take seven roles. More recently, psychologist Erik Erikson took up the idea of life as a stage. Erikson regarded d

31、ey track the years of adulthood. Friedman and Martin use health and long life as their measure; Ive used sense of achievement. In both cases, we are in perfect agreement in evaluating development not according to age but“the key features of life”. The paths that Friedman and Martin describe seize the changes that characterize people as they age. Some examples are “The High Road”(reliable, full of plans); “Not Easy Street”(exposed to high stress throughout life), “Catastrophe Lane”(a downwardly twisty life); “Happy Trails to You”(cheerful, s
