Is your life ruled by love or by fear？Love and fear are two opposite feelings that shape our life in very different ways．Most of us are controlled by both of them．However，even a tiny change towards love and away from fear can bring more happiness．Here are some suggestions towards love．
Cultivate Gratitude（培养感恩之心）
Gratitude makes us feel happier．If you remember to be thankful for the blessings（赐福）of your life，you will feel more connected to yourself and others．When you let worries go and have gratitude instead，love appears quickly．
Test the Reality of Fear
Sometimes fear can be like a cloud that keeps out the sunlight．A simple way to deal with fear is to test its reality．Write down three things that you're afraid of．Then look at each point and ask yourself， "Is this fear really grounded（基于）in reality？" I know when I do this，I often find that fears aren't reasonable．
Take Action
Taking action is the best way to control fear．For example，if you are not feeling well，but you don't go to a doctor，you may imagine that you are having a serious health problem．Once you've been to a doctor，talked about the problems and dealt with them one by one，your fear will become smaller and even disappear．

They enjoy reading books even when they’re on a break at the beach, or relaxing from a hike. Good reading habits lead you to a lifelong love of books. Here are some tips on how to develop good reading habits.
Choose the books which suit you. In most middle schools, teachers give students a reading list every few weeks. Most books are easy to read, like youth novels. The students themselves can also buy books which they’re interested in or the best-selling books.
Reading in short periods. 15 minutes after getting to school, 15 minutes while waiting for friends, 15 minutes before going to sleep. Then you can read books for about five hours every week in total.
