Have you ever been sad because you failed in something? If so, please remember, for often,
achieving what you expect is not the most important thing. Here is a story to tell you why.

One day a little boy decided to dig a hole behind his house after watching a science program.
As he was working, a couple of boys stopped by to watch. “What are you doing?” asked one of
the visitors. “I want to dig a deep hole all the way through the earth!” the boy answered
excitedly.
The older boys began to laugh, telling him that it was impossible to do it. Then they left.

The little boy kept on digging and digging. Suddenly, a few small colorful stones caught his eyes.
He collected them and put them into a glass jar (
罐
) patiently. Humming (
哼唱
) a song, he went
on digging. The jar was full soon. Then he talked to himself calmly and proudly, “Maybe I can't
finish digging all the way through the earth, but look at what I have found in the process (
过程
) of
digging!”

The boy's goal (
目标
) was too difficult, but it did cause him to go on, in other words, to cause
us to keep working!

Not every goal will be achieved. Not every job will end up with a success. Not every dream will
come true. But when you can't achieve your go
al, maybe you can say, “Yes, but look what I've
found along the way! There are so many wonderful things that have come into my life because I
tried to do something!”
It is in the digging that life is lived. It is the unexpected joy on the journey
that really has a meaning.

When I was eleven years old, God gave me a gift of happiness and I had a carefree childhood in
France.

One day, on my way home from school, a truck ran over me and my legs were cut off. As I lay
there bleeding, I suddenly realized that I might have to live the rest of my life without legs. How
depressed I was at that moment! But then I realized that depression wouldn't get my legs back.
So I decided not to waste my life feeling depressed. When my parents arrived at the hospital, they
stood there quietly, looked so shocked and sad. I told them, “I've already accepted the fact. Now
you also have to get used to this.”

Ever since then, I often see my friends getting worried about little things: their bus comes late;
they get bad grades on a test. But I just enjoy life.

I am lucky to realize that it is a waste of energy to focus on what you have lost, and that the key
to happiness is to take pleasure in what you have. Sounds simple, doesn't it? So why are many
people unhappy?


People often think happiness is based on what they achieve. “My whole life would improve if I
had a new car.” But when you get the car and what happen
s? For a whole week you are walking
on air. Then you go right back to being unhappy.

Happiness is not a happening; it's a state of mind. Even though you have the whole world and
you'll
still
be
unsatisfied.
And
you
have
relatively(
相对地
)
little
but
feel
full
of
joy.
Happiness
comes from mastering the art of enjoying and taking pleasure in what you already have.

China's second female astronaut, Wang Yaping, has given the country's first-ever video lecture
from space. The whole lecture lasted about 40 minutes.

Speaking to students through live video, from the Tiangong-I space laboratory, Ms. Wang used
spinning tops (
旋转的陀螺
), a ball and some water to explain physics in zero-gravity(
失重
), with
the help of a fellow astronaut.

Ms. Wang used different experiments to demonstrate the concepts of weight and mass(
重量和
质量的概念
) in space. Towards the end of the class, Ms. Wang made a film(
薄膜
) of water using
a metal ring. She then turned the film of water into a water ball by pouring more water onto it.

secondary
school

the
lecture
from
a
special
classroom
in
Beijing,
where
they

questions

From
time to time, the students greeted her lecture with warm applause(

When answering a student's question, Ms. Wang described what she could see in space.
