We always convince ourselves that life will be better after we get married，have a baby，than another. Then we are frustrated that the kids aren't old enough and we'll be more content when they are. After that we're frustrated that we have teenagers to deal with. We will certainly be happy when they are out of that stage.．________
We always tell ourselves that our life will be complete when our spouse gets his or her act together. When we get a nice car，and are able to go on a nice vacation when we retire. The truth is，there's no better time than right now. If not now，when? our life will always be filled with challenges. It's best to admit this to ourselves and decide to be happy anyway.．________
One of my favorite quotes comes from Alfred Souza. He said，“For a long time it had seemed to me that life was about to beginreal life. But there was always some obstacle in the way，something to be gotten through first，some unfinished business，time still to be served，a debt to be paid.．_________
Then life would begin. At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life. This perspective has helped me to see that there is no way to happiness. Happiness is the way. So treasure every moment that you have.．_________
And remember that time waits for no one. So stop waiting until you finish school，until you go back to school; until you get married，until you get divorced; until you have kids; until you retire; until you get a new car or home; until spring; until you are born again to decide that there is no better time than right now to be happy.
Happiness is a journey，not a destination. So，work like you don't need money，love like you've never been hurt，And dance like no one's watching.

When I walked into the house after school, the first thing I noticed was a box with items I recognized from my dad’s office. When he told me that he was laid off, I thought he was joking. Then I noticed his seriousness and realized he was telling the truth. My father has always been a hard worker. He has prided himself on his career.I guess I had taken his work for granted.
For starters, he was home all the time. It meant my bed had to be made, my room cleaned up, and my homework done right after school. I would come home every day to find him at the computer searching for jobs.
He seemed down, though he tried to be optimistic. He asked my brother and me to spend less. I gave up my spending money, which wasn't much. I also found a part-time job.
He explained that he never wanted to be laid off again, so he was going to start his own business. Day by day, I watched him build it. One evening I asked if he needed help. “Only if it doesn't affect school,” he said. I showed up at his office the next afternoon, and most afternoons after that for two months.
The terrible experience for our family taught me how to deal with difficulties. Now I know that through creative problem-solving, I can always find Plan B. I can ask for help and take risks. What I have learned from my dad’s understanding of business and his work ethic（信条）are two of the most important lessons I will ever learn. And they will be my principles for success.
A. Providing for our family has been his joy.
B. I made every effort to solve his problems.
C. I began to notice how losing his job had affected him.
D. My father's unemployment created many changes in our lives.
E. After months of searching, my dad decided to go in a totally different direction.
F. His courage and determination helped him to become successful in his new career.
G. I always knew he was a hard worker, but watching him in action influenced me a lot.
