Recently, we went on a vacation for a week that involved visiting four different ports in the sunny and warm climate of the Caribbean. There were         of laughter, fun and great food. It’s a        thing when you go away that each day of the vacation also        to the end and a return to work.
It was twelve years since we went on a vacation, so this vacation was viewed with        of a great break away from my daily routine. And we weren’t        .
But there was something very different about this vacation compared to those when we worked in a corporative environment. The main       was that when we returned, when the vacation was rapidly drawing to a close, we didn’t have the same feeling of     stress, anxiety and fear.
In this recent vacation, it wasn’t that we        enjoyed the various fun and new activities, the break away from routine, the pleasure of touring different countries and cultures, the         to do what we wanted when we wanted or the leisurely      of each day that was significant. What was significant was that we didn’t       fear the last day of vacation. You see, we know that we were        what we love to do not what we had to do.
The feelings experienced in the last couple of days of vacation were viewed with the same joy as the very first days. In the previous times, the last days of vacation were terrible. We experience an increasing        of stress      we knew that a return to our field of employment was “work” and not        that we loved and thoroughly enjoyed.
The        is this: If you do what you love, it doesn’t matter       that a vacation has to end. If you love what you do you will not        yourself wishing for even a few more days of vacation, or wishing that you could      enjoying this vacation for much, much longer. A love of what you do        you back like a magnet.

One effective way of destroying happiness is to look at something and focus on even the smallest fault. It’s like looking at the tiled(铺瓦的)ceiling and concentrating on the space where one tile is     .
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. As with happiness itself, this is     your decision to make.

I often read of incidents of misunderstanding or conflict. I'm left      . Why do these people create mistrust and problems, especially with those from other     ?
I was growing up in Kuala Lumpur in the early 1960s,       children from different races and religions played and studied      in harmony. At that time my family lived a stone's       from Ismail's. And no one was bothered that Ismail was a Malay Muslim and I was an Indian Hindu—we just       our differences. Perhaps,our elders had not filled our heads with unnecessary advice, well      or otherwise.
We were nine when we became friends. During the school holidays, we 'd     the countryside on our bicycles,hoping to       the unexpected. At times Ismail would accompany my family as we made a rare shopping trip to town. We would be glad of his      .
When I was twelve, my family moved to Johor. Ismail's family later returned to their village, and I       touch with him. One spring afternoon in 1983, I stopped a taxi in Kuala Lumpur. I       my destination. The driver acknowledged my        but did not move off. Instead, he looked        at me. “Raddar?" he said, using my childhood nickname (绰号).I was astonished at being so       addressed (称呼).Unexpectedly! It was Ismail! Even after two       we still recognized each other. Grasping his shoulder, I felt a true affection, something      to describe.
If we can allow our children to be      without prejudice, they'll build friendships with people,regardless of race or religion, who will be      their side through thick and thin. On such friendships are societies built and       we can truly be, as William Shakespeare once wrote, “We happy few. We band of brothers".
