When I was a young child, my parents often told me that a positive(积极的) heart brought man everything. I didn’t understand and wondered why has such a big influence on a person. And now, although I’m just a middle school student, I’d like to my own opinions on this saying.

I realize that I don’t just live and that there are around me I should think of. They all pay attention to my growing up, and are proud of my achievements it is just a little progress. It is their care and love that remind me I live in a warm and happy world.
Different people may have different attitudes towards life, but there is one rule should and that is to make the world better.
