I was feeling a little blue because my mother had lost her job.
One day, while I was on the street, I heard piano music and singing rising above the noise of the people. I walked more slowly to where it was coming from. Then I saw a young lady sitting at piano.
She was singing songs about love, losing herself and keeping on trying. The way she was singing made me a little comfortable. I stood there , watching her playing on such a crowded New York square . I thought that she must be enough to perform in front of so many people.
She noticed me. I walked over and told her how good her music sounded. “Thank you.” She said.
“ I have been going through a hard time recently, you’ve made me hopeful again.” I said to her.
“ I’m glad that I could help,” she replied. “Why are you so ?”
“ Well, my mum has lost her job, and I’m not so sure what to do…”
“ Did you notice the you were walking ? Your head was down.” She said. “ Don’t be upset, because opportunity（机遇）comes in different ways and if your head is down, you might not see it. You should smile more… lift your head up.”
I looked her, amazed at how she was encouraging me. “ are you playing the piano here ?” I asked her with a smile.
She explained that she saw a lot of unhappy people in the world and she tried to cheer up by playing music.
I smiled a little wider, realizing that no difficulties could stop me from going on.
