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.
