1、 Have you ever complained( 抱 怨 )why life is so tiring? Does the sky sometimes seem dark to you? Are your lessons sometimes not successful? Well, friends, cheer up and smile all the time. If you see the world with your warm heart, you will find the whole world smiling to you
一个晴朗的早上,你计划散散步来放松自己。Just before you go out, it suddenly starts to rain. Maybe you would feel very sad and start to complain about the weather. But dear friends, why not sit down and listen to the free concert that the nature brings you? And with the timely rain, crops (庄稼)in the field will grow better and farmers will have a good harvest(收获).
Although everyone wants to succeed in what he tries to do. Life isn’t a bed of roses, then, it's very common to meet difficulties on the way to success. In fact, difficulty isn't terrible. The real terrible thing is that we are afraid of it. Difficulty is like a spring (弹簧).If you are weak, it will be strong. So when you meet difficulties, don’t give up.相反,你应该微笑着面对困难。Attitude decides everything. With an optimistic(乐观的) attitude, life is easy and pleasant. If you want to be happy, try to remember these five easy rules. Free your heart from hate; Free your mind from worries:
Live an easy life; Give more; Expect less. The quickest way to receive happiness is to smile. The fastest way to lose it is to complain.
