near my house. Walking together, my father and I used to have a lot of conversations through which
I learned lessons from his experiences. He always told me, "You should have goals like climbing the
mountain," Without the mountain-climbing that we both enjoyed, we couldn"t have enough time to
spend together because my father was very busy, I really got a lot from mountain-climbing. It gave
me time to talk with my father and to be in deep thought as well as develop my patience (耐力).
Once we climbed a very high mountain. It was so challenging for me because I was only ten years
old. During the first few hours of climbing, I enjoyed the flowers and trees, and the birds" singing, but
as time passed, I got a pain in both of my legs. I wanted to quit climbing. In fact, I hated it at that
moment, but my father said to me, "You can always see a beautiful sky at the top of the mountain, but
you can"t see it before you reach the top. Only there at the top, can you see all of the nice things, just
like in life."
At that time, I was too young to understand his words. But later after that, I got new hope and
confidence (信心). I found myself standing at the top of the sky, which was as clear as crystal
(水晶).

houses with large gardens and swimming pools or those who have nice cars and a lot of money

In fact, happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it. When you are in trouble
at school, your friends will help you. When you study hard at your lessons, your parents are always
taking good care of your life and your health. When you get success, your friends will say congratulations
to you. When you do something wrong, people around you will help you to correct it. And when you
do something good to others, you will feel happy, too. All these are your happiness. If you notice a bit
of them, you can see that happiness is always around you.
Happiness is not the same as money. It is a feeling of your heart. When you are poor, you can also
say you are very happy, because you have something else that can"t be bought with money. When you
meet with difficulties, you can say loudly you are very happy, because you have more chances to
challenge yourself. So you can not always say you are poor and you have bad luck. As the saying goes,
life is like a revolving (旋转) door. When it closes, it also opens. If you takes every chance you get,
you can be a happy and lucky person.

You may not feel as satisfied 2 you expect to and the feeling of happiness may disappear in a minute. Why are we not so happy as we should be? The secret is: we focus on (专注) what we want instead of what we have. We keep making our list of desires(愿望) longer and longer. As a result, we are not pleased with what we have 3 owned. We say to ourselves, "I"ll be happy when this desire is satisfied. " However, another desire appears when this one is met. So we still don"t feel happy though we have got what we want. Happiness 4 when we always have new dcsires hard to satisfy. Luckily, there is a way to be happy. Think more about what we have than what we want.
