Luckily, there is a way to be happy. It involves changing the emphasis of our thinking from what we want to what we have. Rather than wishing you were able to take a vacation to Hawaii, think of how much fun you have had close to home. The list of possibilities is endless! Each time you notice yourself falling into the “I wish life were different” trap, back off and start over. Take a breath and remember all that you have to be grateful. When you focus not on what you want, but on what you have, you end up getting more of what you want anyway. If you focus on the good qualities of your spouse (配偶), she’ll be more loving. If you are grateful for your job rather than complaining about it, you’ll do a better job, be more productive, and probably end up getting a raise anyway. If you focus on ways to enjoy yourself around home rather than waiting to enjoy yourself in Hawaii, you’ll end up having more fun. If you ever do get to Hawaii, you’ll be in the habit of enjoying yourself. And, if by some chance you don’t , you have a great life anyway. Make a note of yourself to start thinking more about what you have than what you want. If you do, your life will start appearing much better than before. For perhaps the first time in your life, you’ll know what it means to feel satisfied. 12. Why did the author say that focusing on what we want is destructive? A.

Different students have different attitudes towards failure in the exams. Some of us become low in spirits in the face of failure. Worse still, some students are so disappointed that they don’t want to make further efforts in their studies. As a result, their studies go from bad to worse as time goes on. Fortunately, some students take quite positive attitudes towards their setbacks. They spare no efforts in analyzing the cause of their failure and at the same time encourage themselves to become more confident so that they won’t repeat their mistakes in their later examinations. As far as I’m concerned, I believe that failure is the mother of success. As long as we can find out the root cause of our failure and step up our efforts to improve our ways of learning, we can surely make great progress and turn our dreams into reality. (责任编辑：admin) |
