Actually, happiness is everywhere if we keep a good attitude.

As we keep a good mood, our world will be a sunny land, which is resounded with soft music.

Because there's no paradise at all, but we can make a paradise if we're hard-working and intelligent.
因为根本就没有天堂，但如果我们勤劳有智慧，我们可以自己弄一个天堂。
So we should work like we don't need money, smile like we've never been hurt, and perform ourselves like no one can see us.
所以我们应该就像我们不需要钱一样工作，就像从未受伤过一样微笑，就像没有人能看到我们一样表演。

How glad we were to see the crops and vegetables growing well. At noon, we had a picnic lunch in the sunshine. After a short rest, we have greatfun, singing and dancing, telling jokes and stories. Two of us even played a game of chess. The time passed quickly. Before we knew it, we had to say goodbye to the workers.

Do you see the glass as half-full rather than all empty? The two different answers to this question represent two different attitudes towards life -- optimistic attitude and pessimistic attitude.
你认为玻璃杯是半满的还是全空的？对这个问题两种不同的答案代表了对生活两种不同的态度——乐观态度和消极态度。
Optimism always leads to happiness, health and success while pessimism, by contrast, results in hopelessness, sickness and failure. That's because optimists and pessimists deal with the same challenges and disappointments in very different ways. When things go wrong,the pessimist tends to blame himself, while the optimist looks for loop holes. The optimist feels in control of his overall life. If things are going badly, he acts quickly, looking for solutions, forming a new plan of action, and seeking for advice. On the contrary, the pessimist yields to the arrangement of fate and moves slowly. He doesn't seek advice, since he assumes nothing can be done.
乐观常常会带来快乐，健康和成功；相反，消极会导致无助，疾病和失败。这是因为乐观主义者和消极主义者处理统一挑战和失望的方式截然不同。当事情出错的时候，消极主义者往往会责怪自己，而乐观主义者会寻找漏洞。乐观主义者会控制住生活全局。如果事情进展不顺利，他快速行动寻找解决方案，形成新的行动计划并寻求意见。相反，悲观主义者会屈服于命运的安排，行动缓慢。他不会寻求意见，因为他觉得什么也做不了。
Most people are a mix of optimism and pessimism. Optimism is important in all aspects of our lives. If you can change your mind from pessimism to optimism, you can change your life.
大部分人是乐观和悲观的混合体。乐观对我们生活的各个方面都很重要。如果你能够你能把悲观的想法变成乐观，你就可以改变你的生活。
Were I three years younger than I am now, I would strongly recommend that I set more practical and specific goals. As an old saying goes, living without a clear and achievable aim is like sailing without a compass. Compared with many abstract objectives, practical ones can bring us more courage and confidence whenever we make one step forward. If only I could go back and reset my goals.
如果我比现在年轻三岁，我会强烈建议自己制定更实际、更具体的目标。正如一句老话所说，生活没有一个明确的、可实现的目标，就像航海没有指南针。与许多抽象的目标相比，具体的目标可以给我们带来更多的勇气和信心，无论我们前进一步。要是我能回到过去，重新设定我的目标就好了。
The Reason that I StriveThe moment I go to high school, I have made up my mind to study hard. It is known to all that the period of high school is the turning point of people's life, which may decide my future career. So I know the importance of striving for my future. The reason why I study so hard are various. First, I want my parents to be proud of me. When my mothers' friends come to visit her, they always brag about how excellent their children are, but my mother would never take me as the topic, because she does not want me to have the pressure. I appreciate what my mother does to me and really want her to be proud of me. Second, If I enter a good university, I can have the promising future. It is time for me to return my parents' love.
从我上高中那一刻起，我就下定决心努力学习。大家都知道高中时期是人生的转折点，可能会决定我的未来职业。所以我知道为未来奋斗的重要性。我那么努力学习的原因有很多。首先，我想让我的父母以我为荣。每次我妈妈的朋友来看望她时，他们总是吹嘘自己的孩子有多么的优秀，但是我妈妈不会以我为话题，因为她不希望我有压力。我感激妈妈所做的一切，真的希望她以我为荣。第二，如果我能进入好的大学，就能有光明的前途。那才是我回报父母爱时刻。
