  Rich or poor, we all have problems:that unfaithful mate, that irritating(恼人的)colleague, that persistent disease, the investment that is turning into a huge loss.

  How do we remain calm, positive and even elegant in the face of all these difficulties of life?

  The following suggestions may help.

  It comes with the pay.I have a friend who used to complain about her dead-end job and unreasonable boss.Sound familiar?One day I told her.“Look at it this way.You are getting paid for the annoyance as well as the work.It comes with the pay.”

  This has become my favorite saying for work-related frustrations.“Take every day as a bonus.”When we learn to treasure every moment of what we have, we begin to see life in a whole new perspective.

  It's all in the mind.Sure, the psychologists tell us it is important we work at resolving problems.But they also say if you try to resolve a problem that would not go away, it would only compound(使更复杂)the frustration.

  If you tell yourself there isn't a problem, there won't be one.It's all in the mind.

  Stop thinking about your own problem-help others instead.A lady who is combating a life-threatening disease revealed she coped with her illness by making herself useful, by offering help to others in a similar situation.

  She has spoken to at least five other women with breast cancer.She says that the sharing has helped her to find fresh meaning in her own life.

  Never give up on your dream.Why do we give in and give up when we meet difficulties?Is it because we have no confidence in our cause and no commitment for what we pursue?

  It was said that Albert Einstein's last request on his death bed was to be given his equations and his unfinished statement declining the presidency of Israel.

  Einstein first picked up his equations and lamented to his son,“If only I had more mathematics!”What a great persistent spirit!

  One strong-hearted lady was the late head of the tragic Kennedy family, Rose Kennedy.She said this on nationwide television one week after losing yet another son to an assassin's bullet-Boddy Kennedy:“And we go on our way with no regrets not looking backwards to the past, but we shall carry on with courage.”

  Not the end of the world.Do you know something else?I've learned that care as you might, love as you might, some people just don't care back.

  And it's not the end of the world.After all, it's not the event that makes a person, is it?It's what we do about that happens to us.

About friendship

Section B

We often say, “A friend in need is a friend indeed.” But what is the exact meaning of friendship? No one can really offer a definite concept, because different people hold various views on friendship.

Everyone has his own friendship and some have a lot of friends.But in fact, quantity is not so important as quality.Loyalty is the most important for friendship.No one wants to make friends with those who will betray them.

No matter whether you are married or not, no matter where you live and work, your friends are your friends.It is not based on bloodline.It relies on your intention.To you, some friends are fun-loving, some give encouragement, some offer knowledge, and others help you to find your own identity.Before your friends, you may act as a supervisor, a learned brother, a lovely child, a gentleman or a playmate.In a word, friendship helps you to be a full person.So friendship can benefit.
