| Happiness is for everyone. You don" t need to care about those people who have beautiful houses with large gardens and swimming pools or those who have nice cars and a lot of money and so on. Why? Because those who have big houses may often feel lonely and those who have cars may want to walk on the country roads at their free time. In fact, happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it. When you are in trouble at school, your friends will help you; when you study hard at your lessons, your parents are always taking good care of your life and your health; when you get success, your friends will say congratulations to you; when you do something wrong, people around you will help you to correct it. And when you do something good to others, you will feel happy, too. All these are your happiness. If you notice a bit of them, you can see that happiness is always around you. Happiness is not the same as money. It is a feeling of your heart. When you are poor, you can also say you are very happy, because you have something else that can" t be bought with money. When you meet with difficulties, you can say loudly you are very happy, because you have more chances to challenge yourself. So you cannot always say you are poor and you have bad luck. As the saying goes, life is like a revolving (旋转的) door. When it closes, it also opens. If you take every chance you get, you can be a happy and lucky person. | |||

| As young students, you have many dreams. These dreams can be very big, such as winning the Nobel Prize; they can also be small, such as becoming one of the best students in your class. Once you find a dream, what do you do with it? Do you ever try to make your dream real? Andrew Matthews, an Australian writer, tells us that making your dreams real is life"s biggest challenge. You may think you"re not very good at some school subjects, or that it"s impossible for you to become a writer. Those kinds of ideas stop you from realizing your dream. In fact, everyone can realize his dream. The first thing you must do is to remember what your dream is. Don"t let it leave your heart. Keep telling yourself what you want every day and then your dream will come true faster. You should know that a big dream is, in fact, made up of many small dreams. You must also never give up your dream. There will be difficulties on the road to your dreams. But the biggest difficulty comes from yourself. You need to decide what is the most important. Studying instead of watching TV will help you to get better exam results, while saving five yuan instead of buying an ice cream means you can buy a new book. As you get closer to your dream, it may change a little. This is good as you have the chance to learn something more useful and find new hobbies. | |||

| Don"t worry if you have a problem! This is easy to say if you don"t have one yourself, I know. But the only people who don"t have troubles are gathered in little neighborhoods. We call them cemeteries (坟墓). If you"re breathing, you have difficulties. That"s how life is. But believe it or not, most of your problems may actually be good for you! Let me explain. Maybe you know about the Great Barrier Reef (大堡礁), running some 1800 miles from New Guinea (新几内亚) to Australia. Tour guides often take visitors to see the reef. On one tour, the guide was asked an interesting question. "I notice that the lagoon (泻湖) side of the reef looks pale (苍白) and lifeless, while the ocean side is lively and colorful. Why is this?" The guide answered:"The coral (珊瑚) around the lagoon side is in still water. With no challenge to its survival (生存), it dies early. The coral on the ocean side is always being tested by wind, waves and storms. It has to fight for its survival every day. As it is challenged and tested, it changes and grows healthy, it grows strong." He added, "That"s the way it is with every living thing." That"s how it is with people. Challenged and tested, we come alive! Like coral by the sea, we grow. Physical problems make for a stronger body. Stress makes for a stronger mind. So, you have problems-no problem! Just tell yourself,"There I grow again!" | |||
