When I was a junior high school student in 1980, God gave me a gift, it was happiness.
One weekend, I went to visit my grandparents in the countryside. On my way home a car ran over me and cut off my because of its high speed.
Several days later when I woke up at the hospital, I realized I had to spend the rest of my life arms. How sad I felt at that time! Even I was full of fears. slowly I knew I had to face the fact and got over it. I couldn’t get my arms back even though I every day.
However, it’s easier than done. It took me nearly half a year to get out of the sadness . I got so much from my past story. From then on, I could treat my life with a mind. But in our daily life, I often see my classmates about little things: They get a bad grade on a test; their bus comes ; they don’t have a mobile phone but have, and so on. But I only life. I was lucky to realize from an accident : It is a waste of our life to focus on what you have . We should always think of what we have. So why are so many people unhappy? Someone may say, “My whole life would improve I have a new car.” But when you get the car and what ? For a whole week you are walking on air. Then you go right back to being unhappy.
Happiness depends on what we have! It’s in our heart. It’s a state of mind, even though you own the whole world, you may still feel .Happiness comes from mastering the art of appreciating(感激) and taking pleasure in what you really have.

The Sweetest Sight
I was in the most beautiful city in the world, yet I only wanted home.
It was an amazing week for my husband and me –the trip of a lifetime. Months ago, when my husband told me that he would have a meeting in London. I expressed my to go to Europe together with him. Then we asked his mother to our two children and started off.
During the week’s time, visited London and Paris –as much as we could, Big Ben, the Louvre and so on. All these were beautiful places we expected to see before. We really enjoyed ourselves.
On our last night in Paris, we enjoyed the night view(夜景) of the Eiffel Tower, my husband called home. His mother the phone. In a second, my husband’s face fell and he looked so worried. I could feel something happened.
“What’s wrong?” I asked.
He didn’t answer and continued to listen. A few minutes later, he said to me that Tony, our seven-year-old son, had fallen off his bike and his leg. He must be sent to hospital at once.
At that moment, Paris suddenly lost its charm(魅力).
“I don’t want to be here! I shouldn’t be here! I should be home my kids!”
We hurried back to our hotel and then to the airport …
Finally, we got home. We rushed into our children’s bedroom. Seeing our two children, I suddenly realized the truth: there is no sight(风景)in the world than your children’s faces that greet you at home.
