One day an American called Simon went to London to visit his friend, Rick. Rick told him that his flat was on the first floor. When he arrived, Simon went straight to the first floor of the building. But he was told that there was no Rick on that floor. Do you know why?

In fact, the British call the first floor of a building the ground floor. The floor above the ground floor is the first floor, which Americans would call the second floor.

The British usually hide their feelings. They seldom start a conversation with strangers. For example, on the train the British often spend their time reading newspapers or books. But Americans are quite different. They are more active and easier to talk with.

The British and Americans may use different terms for many things. The British usually use football, eraser and mail while Americans prefer to use soccer, rubber and post.

Don’t worry if you have a problem! This is easy to say if you don’t have one yourself, I know. But the only people who don’t have troubles are gathered in little neighborhoods. We call them cemeteries (坟墓).

If you’re breathing, you have difficulties. That’s how life is. But believe it or not, most of your problems may actually be good for you! Let me explain.

Maybe you know about the Great Barrier Reef (大堡礁), running some 1800 miles from New Guinea (新几内亚) to Australia. Tour guides often take visitors to see the reef. On one tour, the gu ide was asked an interesting question. ―I notice that the lagoon (泻湖) side of the reef looks pale (苍白) and lifeless, while the ocean side is lively and colorful. Why is this?‖The guide answered, ―The coral (珊瑚) around the lagoon side is in still water. With no challenge to its survival (生存), it dies early. The coral on the ocean side is always being tested by wind, waves and storms. It has to fight for its survival every day. As it is challenged and tested, it changes and grows healthy, it grows strong.‖ He added, ―That’s the way it is with every living thing.‖

That’s how it is with people. Challenged and tested, we come alive! Like coral by the sea, we grow. Physical problems make for a stronger body. Stress makes for a stronger mind.

So, you have problems—no problem! Just tell yourself, ―There I grow again!‖
