It was a bright spring afternoon when Freda told me she wouldn’t need me any more. I had just finished my four-hour work - 36 up and down the stairs of her three-storey home, cleaning the floor and washing the dished. She was 37 jeans and a sweater. Sitting at the table I had just 38 a pile of papers spread around her. Her husband’s 39 was going to be reduced by thirty percent. And they were trying to live as if it had 40 happened. I felt sorry for her, but I also felt a sense of 41 .
I had been cleaning Freda’s house for five years and had 42 an unexpected relationship with the family. It was not just 43 I had become an expert at scraping(刮掉)dirt stuck to their wooden floor. 44 that I had learned exactly how to place toys on the girls’ beds. It was 45 than that, for I felt I had become a part of their 46 .
Freda stayed at home with the kids, 47 I would often see her in the morning 48
them to school. And I’d be there when they 49 home at lunch for sandwiches and piano practice. I had 50 them grow up. Now I was fired, but the 51 thing was that I still wanted to keep scraping away the dirt and dust for the family.
I left Freda’s 52 relationship with my clients(主顾). Who am I 53 them? As a matter of fact. I’m 54 an employee - the lowest kind of employee. But I’m also a trusted 55 of the family. I can’t help worrying about what happens around me.

Once I heard a bald man said, “whenever I enter a room I see is hair.” Once you’ve what your missing tile is, explore whether acquiring it will make you happy. Then do one of the three things: get it, replace it with a different , or forget about it and the tiles in your life that are not missing.
We all know people who have a relatively life, yet are essentially unhappy. while people who have suffered a great deal but remain happy.
The first is gratitude. All happy people are . Ungrateful people cannot be happy. We tend to think that being unhappy leads people to , but it’s truer to say that complaining leads to people becoming unhappy.
The second secret is that happiness is a byproduct of something else. The most obvious are those pursuit that give our lives purpose — anything studying insects to playing baseball. The more passions we have, the more happiness we are to experience.
Finally, the belief that something permanent goes beyond us and that our has some larger meaning can help us to feel happier. We a spiritual faith, or a philosophy, it should this truth: if you choose to find the in every situation, you will be blessed, and if you choose to find the awful, you will be cursed.

A couple were having a wedding. All of their friends and family came to see the lovely and all had a wonderful time. The bride was in her white wedding gown and the groom was very handsome. Everyone could tell that the love they had for each other was true.
A few months later, the wife came to the husband with a , “Each of us will write a list of things we find a bit with the other person. Then, we can talk about how we can them and make our lives happier.” The husband agreed. So they went to think of the things that annoyed them about the other.
The next morning, at the breakfast table, they decided they would go over their .
“I’ll start,” said the wife. She took out her list. It had many items on it, enough to fill three pages. In fact, as she started reading the list of the little annoyances, she noticed that tears were starting to appear in her husband's eyes.
“What’s wrong?” she asked. “Nothing.” the husband replied,“ reading your list.”
The wife continued to read until she had read all three to her husband.
“Now, it’s your turn and then we’ll talk about the things on both of our lists.” she said happily.
the husband stated,“I don’t have anything on my list. I think you are the way that you are. I don’t want you to change anything for me.”
The wife by his honesty and the depth of his love for her and his acceptance of her, turned her head and wept.
In life, there are enough times when we are disappointed, depressed and annoyed. We don’t really have to go looking for them. We have a wonderful world that is full of beauty, light and promise. Why waste time seeking the bad, disappointing or annoying when we can look around us, and see the things before us?
