In many people’s eyes, middle school students are happy and carefree（无忧无虑）. But is it the truth? And what students happy or unhappy?
To find out the answers, Li Jiahui, a student in Pinggu No. 3 Middle School, Beijing, spent six months students’ sense(感受) of happiness last year. The girl made a survey with questions such as “ Are you feeling happy?” and “What makes you unhappy?”
After studying the answers from 284 students, Li learned that 40 percent of the students feel unhappy, and the from studies is the main reason for their unhappiness.
“More than 50 percent said they were under pressure and 70 percent get enough sleep,” Li said. “It shows that middle school students are not as happy people think. They worry a lot, and they can get angry easily.”
Li also said that over 90 percent say their happiness has to do with how much money they have. Instead, they care about their relationships（关系）with friends, teachers and parents. “Students always feel better when they get well with each other,” Li said.
After her survey, Li listed tips that may make students happier, such as: Treat yourself better, be kind and polite to your friends and relatives, and try new things.

What should you think about when trying to find your career? You are probably better at some school subjects than others. These may show strengths that you can use in your work. A boy who is good at mathematics can use that in an engineering career. A girl who spells well and likes English may be good at office work. So it is important to know the subjects you do well in at school. On the other hand, you may not have any specially strong subjects but your records show a general satisfactory standard. Although not all subjects can be used directly in a job, they may have indirect value. A knowledge of history is not required for most jobs but if history is one of your good subjects you will have learned to remember facts and details. This is an ability that can be useful in many jobs.
Your school may have taught you skills, such as typing or technical drawing, which you can use in your work. You may be good at metalwork or cookery and look for a job where you can improve these skills. If you have had a part-time job on Saturdays or in the summer, think what you gained from it. If nothing else, you may have learned how to get to work on time, to follow instructions and to get on with older workers. You may have learned to give correct change in a shop, for example. Just as important, you may become interested in a particular industry or career you see from the inside in a part-time job.
Facing your weak points is also part of knowing yourself. You may be all thumbs when you handle tools; perhaps you are a poor speller or cannot add up a column of figures. It is better to face any weakness than to pretend they do not exist. Your school record, for instance, may not be too good, yet it is an important part of your background. You should not be apologetic about it but instead recognize that you will have a chance of a fresh start at work.

In one way of thinking, failure is part of life. In way, failure may be a way towards success. The “Spider-story” is often .Robert Bruce , leader of the Scots in the 13 th century, was hiding in a cave from the English. He watched a spider a web. The spider tried to reach across a rough in the rock. He tried six times without success .On the time he made it and went on to make his web. Bruce is said to have been encouraged by this and to have gone on to the English . Edison , the inventor of the light bulb, made models that failed before he found the right way to make one. Once he was asked he kept on trying to make a new type of battery when he had failed so often, he replied, “Failure? I have failure. Now I know 50,000 ways it won't ”.
So what? First，always think about your failure. What caused ？Were conditions right? Were you in top from yourself? What can you change? So things will go next time.
Second, is the goal you're trying to reach the right one? Try to do some about what your real goals may be. Think about this question. “If I do succeed in this, where will it get me?" This may help you prevent failure in things you shouldn't be doing any way.
The third thing to keep in about failure is that it's a part of life. Learn to “live with yourself" even though you may have ．
