A friend of mine met with an accident driving in darkness. His legs were so hurt that he couldn’t move. What was the 31 was he found himself unable to ask for help — his mobile phone went out of 32 as a result of exhausted (用尽的)battery. Nothing could be done but 33 in cold wilderness. It was 8 hours later that day broke, and then the 34 of the rescue.
It is almost 35 that he could stand the horror in the darkness for so long. Even more surprising was his 36 : "First of all I checked up my 37 conditions and found myself not in mortal （致命的）danger. As there was no 38 to call for help ,I leaned back in my seat trying my best to keep the wound from 39 .In this way I dozed （打盹）off ."
His story put an end to my regret for the 40 of an exploration adventure that happened last year. A group of young men 41 to explore a mountain cave and got lost . 42 to find a way out in the dark cave they were frightened and ran anxiously without a sense of 43 .Finally they fell dead in fear and exhaustion
（筋疲力尽）.According to the 44 people that found them, the place where they got lost was only about 10 meters away from the 45 of the cave. If they stayed on the spot when they lost their way and tried to 46 themselves, they would probably sense a faint light glimmering （闪烁）not far away .
Don’t you think that you can compare it with 47 itself? When you meet with obstacles （障碍）in life and work ,you are lost in darkness. 48 you it’s unclear yet and you need not put up struggle 49 . It seems to be a negative （消极的）attitude, 50 a person who can afford to do so must have foresight as well as a great courage in the first place .

One effective way of destroying happiness is to look at something and focus on even the smallest fault. It’s like looking at the tiled (铺瓦的) ceiling and concentrating on the space where one tile is .
Once I heard a bald man said, “Whenever I enter a room, all I see is hair.” Once you’ve what your missing tile is, explore whether acquiring it will make you happy. Then do one of the three things: get it, replace it with a different , or forget about it and the tiles in your life that are not missing.
We all know people who have had a relatively life, yet are essentially unhappy, while people who have suffered a great deal generally remain happy.
The first is gratitude. All happy people are grateful. Ungrateful people cannot be happy. We tend to think that being unhappy leads people to , but it’s truer to say that complaining leads to people becoming unhappy.
The second secret is awareness. We should that happiness is a byproduct (副产品) of something else. The most obvious are those pursuits ( 追求) that give our lives purpose---anything from studying insects to playing baseball. The more passions we have, the more happiness we are to experience.
Finally, the belief that something permanent goes beyond us and that our has some larger meaning can help us to feel happier. We need a spiritual faith, or a philosophy of life. Whatever your philosophy is, it should this truth: if you choose to find the in every situation, you will be blessed, and if you choose to find the awful, you will be cursed. As for happiness itself, this depends on your decision to make.
