Happiness is not the absence of problems. 1. ...

Happiness is not the absence of problems. 1. Here are a few reminders to help motivate you when you need it most:

1. Pain is part of growing.

When times are tough, remind yourself that no pain comes without a purpose.2. Every great success requires some type of worthy struggle to get there. Good things take time. Everything is going to come together; maybe not immediately, but eventually.

2.3.

Every time it rains, it stops raining. Every time you get hurt, you heal. After darkness there is always light. So if things are good right now, enjoy it. It won’t last forever. If things are bad, don’t worry because it won’t last forever either.

3. Worrying and complaining changes nothing.

4. It’s always better to attempt to do something great and fail than to attempt to do nothing and succeed. It’s not over if you’ve lost; it’s over when you do nothing but complain about it. If you believe in something, keep trying. Don’t let the shadows of the past darken the doorstep of your future.

4. Your scars are symbols of your strength.

Never be ashamed of the scars life has left you with. A scar means the hurt is over and the wound is closed. It means you overcame the pain, learned a lesson, grew stronger, and moved forward. 5.

A. Everything in life is temporary (暂时的).

B. But it is the ability to deal with them.

C. Rarely do people do things because of you.

D. A scar is the sign of a success to be proud of.

E. Those who complain the most, accomplish the least.

F. Move on from what hurt you, but never forget what it taught you.

G. Change because it makes you a better person and leads you to a brighter future.

You have the ability to decide whether you are happy or not. Happiness is a choice.

You can’t depend on someone else to make you happy. That is a lesson I learned early in my marriage. I realized that I couldn’t rely on my husband as my source of happiness. I learned that my happiness depended on myself and not my husband’s actions. I learned that you have to choose to be happy.

You can choose your emotions. True happiness comes from within, and it can’t be forced by outside force. So how do you choose happiness? The same way, you choose to smile or choose to wear a certain outfit（一套衣服）. You choose it because that’s what you want to experience in you life.

You want to buy a new pair of shoes so you choose a pair that you like and feels good. You wouldn’t buy a pair of shoes that you don’t like or that doesn’t fit well, right? So why do we keep choosing emotions and feelings that don’t make us feel good?

Choosing to be happy after you realize your anger has shown up (or even choosing to be calm) can be beneficial. We choose our feelings; no one else can do that for us. If we let others get to us, influence our emotions — we are giving them power over us. When others cause us anger or pain, we are giving them our power.

We need to keep our feelings in check and not to react（反应） automatically to what is thrown at us. We need to think our actions out instead of just reacting to what someone says or does.

Remember that we can always choose happiness. At first it will be difficult to just switch（使转变）your thoughts and feelings from anger, self-doubt, or fear to joy and happiness. But it is only a thought away. Don’t dwell on（细想） what happens to you unnecessarily but realize what is causing you to feel that way. Realize that thoughts, feelings and emotions can change. Then move on and choose to be happy.

1. What’s the best title of this passage?

A. Pretend to Be Happy

B. Choose Your Emotions

C. Choose to Be Happy

D. Find Happiness

2. The lesson the writer learned in her marriage is ________ .

A. one can’t depend on someone else to make himself or herself happy

B. balancing the relationship between husband and wife is an art

C. she can depend on her husband to find happiness

D. happiness can be influenced by outside force

3.Why did the writer mention buying shoes?

A. To offer advice on how to choose comfortable shoes.

B. To use it as an example to illustrate（阐述）her point of view.

C. To compare choosing shoes and choosing an outfit.

D. To help move to the next paragraph easily.

4.The writer suggests that we should ________ .

A. let others control our feelings

“There’s Always a John”

By Darla Boyd

My first year of teaching, there was a kid named John in my class. John was difficult to control and he nearly drove me crazy. While talking about him one day, an old teacher put his hand on my shoulder and said, “There will always be a John. Your job is to lean, to discover what make him different and help him grow better.” The next year, there was indeed another John. In the last 20 years, I’ve learned to enjoy all the kids like John. That advice taught me that there is something to appreciate in everyone.

“An Early Key Lesson”

By Elaine West

Before I began my first teaching job, my mother, a teacher of 30 years, gave me a very special gift, five simple words that have had an effect on my entire life: “Make friends with the janitor (门卫).” Her wisdom taught me the respect for all types of characters and continue to enrich my life to this day. Just five little words but what an impact they can have when you take them to heart.

“Raising Mommy”

By Jan Davis

Being a mother can always present challenges and rewards. Someone told me early in my parenting career that “Children will teach you everything you need to know”. Being a mother is being raised. Our children become our advisers. Their dreams become our professors, as we are taking notes carefully. The sounds of their laughter and smiles on their faces are a great reward to us or bring us great joy. Their tears remind us that it is okay to fail, wipe the tears away and try again.
