Now and then we all get ill. Then we usually go to see a doctor. Doctors know a lot about what makes
us ill. They may give us something to take. The medicine often makes us well again.
But sometimes the doctor"s medicine doesn"t work. A sick person does not get well. The pain will not
go away. This happened to one man. He was in hospital, but he was not getting well. Then he found a new
"doctor" inside himself. This new "doctor" was his own sense of humor (幽默感). He saw funny films. He
read funny books. And something wonderful happened. Laughing took away his pain. Then he was able
to sleep and rest. His own happy feeling helped him to feel well again. He said laughing was his best "
medicine". His doctor thought so, too.
Another man was also ill, and he had a terrible pain in his back. The doctors could not stop it from
hurting. So the man began to "Picture" his pain. In his head he "drew " a picture of a dog. He imagined it
as a real dog. And he made friends with the dog. And his pain went away!
These stories may surprise you. But more and more people are getting well in this way. So visit the
"doctor" inside your own head and you can stay happy and well.

| Martin had just finished high school. He would go to college at the far end of the city. He didn’t want to live there, and he didn’t want to take the bus either.

| This dog was born on Christmas Eve in 2002. He was different from other dogs because he was born with only two legs. The poor dog of course could not walk and even his mother Sarah did not want him. His first owner Michael Johnson also did not think that he could survive and he was thinking of killing him. But then, his present owner, Jude Stringfellow, met him and wanted to take care of him. She decided to teach and train this little dog to walk by himself. She called him "Faith". In the beginning, she put Faith on a surfboard (滑板) to let him feel the movement… Later she used peanut butter on a spoon as a lure (诱惑) and reward for him for standing up and jumping around. Even the other dog at home encouraged him to walk. Amazingly, after only six months, Faith learned to balance on his legs and jump to move forward. After further training in this snow, he could now walk like a person. Faith loves to walk around now. Wherever he goes, he attracts people"s attention. He is fast becoming famous on the international scene and has appeared on various newspapers and TV shows. A book named With a Little Faith is now being published about him. He was even considered to appear in one of Harry Potter movies. Jude Stringfellow, his present owner, has stopped working and plans to take him around the world to tell people "that even without a perfect body, one can have a strong will (意志)". Faith is a good example of the strong will and wonder of life. In life there are always unpleasant things. So, in order to feel better, you just need to look at life from another direction. I hope this message will bring fresh new ways of thinking to everyone and that everyone will appreciate and be thankful for each beautiful day.  | |||
