Please remember, for quite often achieving what you set out do is not the most important thing.A boy decided to dig a deep hole behind his house. As he was working, a couple of older boys stopped by to watch. “What are you doing?” asked one of the visitors. “I want to dig a hole all the way through the earth!” the boy answered excitedly. The older boys began to laugh, telling him that digging a hole all the way through the earth was impossible. After a while, the boy picked up a jar. He showed it to the visitors. It was full of all kinds of stones and insects. Then he said calmly and confidently, “Maybe I can’t finish digging all the way through the earth, but look at what I’ve found during this period!”The boy’s goal was far too difficult, but it did cause him to go on. And that is what a goal is for－to cause us to move in the direction we have chosen, in other words, to cause us to keep working!Not every goal will be fully achieved. Not every job will end up with a success. Not every dream will come true. But when you fall short of your aim, maybe you can say, “Yes, but look at what I’ve found along the way! There are so many wonderful things having come into my life because I tried to do something!” It is in the digging that life is lived. It is the unexpected joy on the journey that really makes sense.28. The older boys laughed at the boy because he was thought to be______.A. braveB. impoliteC. foolishD. warm-hearted29.

Failure Is the Mother of SuccessDAn interesting study posted on Facebook recently shows how men and women develop new interests as they mature(成熟).While women tend to take exercise seriously from the age of 34, men will wait until their 45th birthdays before working hard to get in shape. The average woman spends more time talking about sports, politics, career and money as she gets older. Women’s interest in books reaches its peak(顶峰) at the age of 22, while that of men does so when they are in their 50s.Men start to change their focus from the workplace to other things after age 30, while women do not do so until eight years later. Both, however, care most about fashionat age 16. The research used anonymous(匿名的) data donated by thousands of Facebook users, recording the statuses, ‘likes’ and ‘interests’ they had posted on their profiles.It found the average woman talks about television most at 44, while men peak much younger, at age 31. Men are also most likely to see a film in a cinema at age 31, while women go out to see films most when they are only 19. Men are most interested in travel at 29, women at 27, while women talk most about food and drink at 35, and men at 38.And if you are middle aged, a safe topic for any audience is the weather, which is a key interest for many as they approach 60.Stephen Wolfram, the British scientist who carried out the research, says, “It’s almost shocking how much this tells us about the changes of people’s typical interests.People talk less about video games as they get older, and more about politics.’’32.

They see themselves as victims of life when something bad happens to them. Yes, as is known to all, life can be hard. 37Unhappy people are more likely to believe that most people can't be trusted. They don’t think strangers can be trusted. Unfortunately this thought slowly starts to prevent them from meeting new people. 38 In this way, you can make more friends, who can increase your happiness.Unhappy people like comparing themselves with others and feel jealous. 39 This is wrong. Instead, you should get inspired and try to achieve more. Learn to believe in unlimited possibilities. Don't get upset and think that somebody's luck limits your possible outcome in life.Unhappy people consider their future with worry and fear.40 Unhappy people fill the head space with worry and fear. How can you be happy if you are always in worry or fear? When fear or worry crosses your mind, ask yourself if there is an action you can take to prevent your fear or worry from happening. If there isn't, just lay it down because worry or fear does you no good at all.Everyone will probably swim in negative waters once in a while, but what matters is how long you stay there.
