A little stream(小溪) ran down from a high mountain through many villages and forests.

Then it reached a desert. “I went through so many difficulties. I should have no problem crossing the desert,” she thought. As she started, she found herself slowly vanishing(消失)into the sand.

After many tries, she still failed. “Maybe I can’t reach the ocean,” she said sadly to herself.

At this time, a deep voice said, “If wind can cross the desert, so can a river.” It was the voice of the desert. But the little stream answered, “That’s because the wind can fly, but I can not.”

“That’s because you can’t give up what you are. Let yourself evaporate(蒸发)into the wind and it can take you across me,” said the desert. “Give up what I am now? No! No!” The little stream could not accept this idea. “The wind can carry the vapor(蒸汽)across the desert and let it leave as rain. The rain will form a river again,” said the desert. “And whether you’re a river or vapor, your nature never changes.” After hearing this, the little stream went into the open arms of the wind. It carried her to the next stage of her life.

The course of our lives is like the experience of the little stream. If you want to go through difficulties in your life to head for success, you should also change the way you are.

There was once an old and deep well. People got water by dropping a bucket(木桶)

tied to a rope. The rope passed over a wheel just above the well. On the other side of the

rope was another bucket.

A strong pull brought one bucket to the top while the other down to the water. They

always passed each other on the way up and down, but never had time to speak.

At last, the rope became worn. So a new rope had to be put in its place. While this was being done, the two buckets were left standing together near the well.

“What a boring life we have!” said one bucket to the other. “I am quite tired of it. No matter how full we come up, we are always sent down empty.”

But the other bucket laughed and said, “What a funny way you have of looking at things! Don’t you see that whenever we are sent down empty, we always come up full?’

Boys and girls sometimes talk like these two buckets. You may hear one of them say, “Just as we are having a good game, we are made to stop and go to work agai n.” “Yes,” the other will reply, “but as soon as work is over, we always get to go out and have fun again.”

There are two ways of looking at things. If you want to be happy, look at the bright side.
