    Life is like the four seasons. Now I am very old, but when I was young, it was the spring of my life. I was born, I played a lot, and then I started school. I learned many new things. Like a flower, I grew bigger every day. There were happy days and sorrowful days: some days the sun shone, and some days it didn't.
    In my twenties, I had a good job. I was strong and happy. Then I married (结婚) and had a child. In those days, I didn't have much time to think. Every day I was busy and worked very hard. And so, I started to get some white hairs. The summer of my life passed quickly.
Then the days got shorter. Leaves fell from the trees. My child was a university student, and then an engineer. My home was much quieter. I started walking more slowly. One day I stopped working. I had more time. I understood this was my autumn, a beautiful time when the trees change color and give us nice fruits.
    But the days kept getting shorter and colder. Winter has come. I am older and weaker. I know I do not have many days left, but I will enjoy them to the end.

    Have you ever been sad because you failed in something? If so, please remember, for often, achieving what you expect is not the most important thing. Here is a story to tell you why.

    One day a little boy decided to dig a hole behind his house after watching a science program. As he was working, a couple of boys stopped by to watch. “What are you doing?” asked one of the visitors. “I want to dig a deep hole all the way through the earth!” the boy answered excitedly. The older boys began to laugh, telling him that it was impossible to do it. Then they left.

    The little boy kept on digging and digging. Suddenly, a few small colorful stones caught his eyes. He collected them and put them into a glass jar (罐) patiently. Humming (哼唱) a song, he went on digging. The jar was full soon. Then he talked to himself calmly and proudly, “Maybe I can't finish digging all the way through the earth, but look at what I have found in the process (过程) of digging!”

    The boy's goal (目标) was too difficult, but it did cause him to go on, in other words, to cause us to keep working!

    Not every goal will be achieved. Not every job will end up with a success. Not every dream will come true. But when you can't achieve your goal, maybe you can say, “Yes, but look what I've found along the way! There are so many wonderful things that have come into my life because I tried to do something!” It is in the digging that life is lived. It is the unexpected joy on the journey that really has a meaning.

    We'd driven all night to reach Saltillo, Mexico. We were hungry, so we stopped our car by a door under a big red Coca-Cola sign and went into the small restaurant for breakfast. We sat down at the table. I greeted the waitress in Spanish and ordered some coffee and eggs. We also asked an ashtray because all of us smoked. The waitress served us and then stood at the kitchen door, watching us. While I was eating, I said to my friends that there were so few people eating here. But he replied that the food was delicious.

    When we finished our food, I asked for our bill. To our surprise, the waitress didn't want to give it to us. She said we were travellers and she was happy to serve us. I said this was business and I was happy to pay for the delicious food. "No, sir," she said. "This is not a restaurant--this is our home!" When we stepped outside, we found a Coco-Cola sign hung over every doorway!

    A man and his son were going through the mountain. Suddenly, the boy fell down on the mountain road and shouted with a pain "Aah!" To his surprise, he heard the same voice from the mountain, "Aah!" The boy felt more surprised, so he shouted again, "Who is this?" And the voice replied the same, "Who is this?" The boy got angry, and shouted a third time "You are too stupid" !And again the voice replied the same, " You are too stupid!"

    Annoyed by this, the boy asked his father, "Father, what is going on? Who is this?" The father replied, "Son, pay attention." The father shouted, "You are very nice." And the voice replied the same, "You are very nice." "The father shouted again," I love you." And the voice replied the same, "I love you." The father shouted a third time, "Thank you very much." And the voice again replied the same, "Thank you very much." The son was very surprised but he still could not understand what to make of it.

    The father explained, "Son, people call it resonance (回声), but this is the truth of our life. Your life is a reflection of your actions. Whatever you give to others, you will receive the same in return."

    Whatever we give to others, life gives us the same in return. Our life is not an accident or a coincidence (巧合), but it is the shadow what we are doing. Our life is simply a reflection of our actions. If we want more love in the world, create more love in our hearts.

    When the great library of Alexandria burned, the story goes, one book was saved. But it was not a valuable book, and a poor man got it.

    The book wasn't very interesting, but between its pages there was something very interesting indeed. It was a thin strip of vellum(羊皮纸)on which was written the secret of the "Touchstone".

    The touchstone was a small pebble(鹅卵石)that could turn any common metal into pure gold.

    The writing explained that it was lying among thousands and thousands of other pebbles that looked exactly like it. But the secret was this. The real stone would feel warn, while ordinary pebbles are cold.

    So the man sold his house, bought a tent, camped on the seashore, and began testing pebbles. He knew that if he picked up normal pebbles and threw them down again because they were cold, he might pick up the same pebbles hundreds of times. So, when he felt one that was cold, he threw it into the sea. He spent a whole day doing this but none of them was the touchstone. Yet he went on and on this way. Pick up a pebble. Cold—throw it into sea. Pick up another. Throw it into the sea. The days stretched into months and the months into years.

    One day, however, about midafternoon, he picked up a pebble and it was warm. He threw it into the sea before he realized what he had done. He was used to throwing each pebble into the sea as soon as he picked it up. So when the one he wanted came along, he still threw it away.

    So it is with opportunity(机会). Unless we are vigilant, it's easy to fail to realize an opportunity when it is in hand and it's just as easy to throw it away.

    Do you want to live a happier, less stressful life? Try laughing for no reason at all. That's how thousands of people start their day at Laughter Clubs around the world and many doctors now think that having a good ax laugh might be one of the best ways to stay healthy.

    The first Laughter Club was started in Mumbai, India, in 1995 by Dr. Madan Kataria. "Young children laugh about 300 times a day. Adults laugh between 7 and 15 times a day, "says Dr. Kataria. "Everyone's naturally good at laughing-it's the universal language. We want people to feel happy with their lives. " There are now more than 500 Laughter Clubs in India and over 1, 303 worldwide.

    Many doctors in the West are also interested in the effects of laughter on our health. According to a 5-year study at the UCLA School of Medicine in(California, laughter reduces stress in the body, improves our defenses against illness by about 40% and is very good for the heart.

    So, what happens at a Laughter Club? I went along to my nearest club in south London to find out. I was quite nervous about it, to be honest-I wasn't keen on the idea of laughing with a group of strangers, and I was worried about looking stupid. First, our laughter teacher told us to clap our hands and say "ho ho ho, ha ha ha," while looking at each other. Apparently our bodies can't tell the difference between fake laughter and real laughter, so still produce the same healthy chemicals.

    Amazingly, it works. After ten minutes everybody in the room was laughing for real-and some people just couldn't stop！At the end of the class I was surprised by how relaxed and calm I felt. So if you're upset about something at work or just fed up with your daily routine, then start laughing. You might be very pleased with the results！

We like to believe that before we make a decision, most of the time, we take time to consider all the facts carefully. However, experts believe that only 5% of our decisions are based on a rational (理性的) thought process. So, what influences our decision﹣making process?

We often leave decision﹣making to our instincts (本能). Scientists have found out that if we had the choice, we like to avoid pain rather than get something. In fact, we're twice as happy when we try to avoid a bad situation than when we experience a good one. This is why when companies send ads, they use phrases like "How to avoid." "Don't miss out!" etc.

There are also physical reasons that influence our decision﹣making. Psychologist John Bargh carried on an experiment where people were asked what they thought of a fictional person, while holding a cold or a hot cup of coffee. Those holding the hot cup believed the person to be warmer and more sociable than those holding the cold cup. So, when temperatures rise, the more likely we are to believe in strangers.

Stress is another thing which influences our decisions. Different situations are more or less stressful for different people. Researchers have found, though, that women are more conservative (保守的)about decisions when stressed, while men are to make riskier choices.

It may come as a surprise but every day from the minute we get up, we have to make countless decisions, like what to wear, what coffee to have and so on. Each choice makes our brain a little bit more tired, and this influences our decision﹣making, too. That's why important people, like presidents wearing the same three suits all the time, want to limit the small choices and spend more brain power on the bigger ones.

"Many people are like garbage trucks, "he said. "They run around full of garbage like frustration (沮丧) or anger. They need a place to dump (倾倒) it and sometimes they'll dump it on you. Don't take it seriously. Just smile, say sorry, wish them well and move on. Don't take their garbage to other people at work, at home, or in the street. "
