    An old man was fishing on the bank of a river. A child came to see him fishing. The old man was really good at fishing and it didn't take long for him to catch a full basket of fish. The old man saw that the child was very cute, and he wanted to give her a whole basket of fish. But the child shook her head. The old man was surprised and asked, "Why don't you want the fish?"

    The child answered, "I want the fishing rod (竿) in your hands. "

    The old man asked, "Why do you want the rod?"

    "It doesn't take long to eat all the fish in a basket. But if I have the fishing rod, I can go fishing by myself and I won't be afraid of not having any more fish to eat."

    I think you will certainly say that the child is very smart. Wrong! If she doesn't know how to fish, she can not have fish to eat, even though she has the fishing rod. It's useless to only have a fishing rod. Fishing skills are the most important, not the fishing rod.

    Too many people think that if they have a "fishing rod" in their life, they will no longer fear（害怕）the wind and rain. They are just like the child, who thought that if she had a fishing rod, she would have fish to eat.

    I once worked as a volunteer in a nursing home. One day, a 90-year-old lady moved into the nursing home. Although she was nearly homeless, her hair and clothes looked very nice. Her husband died recently, so she had to move out of her old house. After many hours of waiting patiently in the hall of the nursing home, she smiled sweetly when I told her that her room was ready. In the lift, I began to describe her room, including the old sheets hung on her window.

    "I loveit," She smiled with the excitement of an eight-year-old who has just been given a new toy.

    "But you haven't seen the room. Just wait."

    "That doesn't have anything to do with it," she replied. "Happiness is something you decide on ahead of time. Whether I like my room or not doesn't depend on the furniture. It's how I arrange(安排）my mind. I already decided to love it. It's a decision(决心) I make every morning when I wake up. I have two choices: I can spend the day in bed complaining about the parts of my body that hardly work, or get out of bed and thank the ones that still do."

    If you want to be happy, please remember these five simple rules: free your heart from hate; free your mind from worries; live simply; give more; expect less. Then your happiness will increase every day.

    When Jason's parents saw him for the first time, they were very surprised. This lovely little baby was born disabled. But soon the young couple accepted this fact: Jason's arms are just half without hands and his legs aren't fully grown either.

    At the age of six, he told his mother he wanted to get down from the prosthetics(假肢)and play with other kids. This was the last time Jason had worn them. He now has an electric wheelchair(轮椅), but he never uses it at home or when it is easy for him to move using only his body.

    Jason learned handwriting and colouring at school, holding the pen between the ends of his arms. He also learned to eat with forks at home. When he was ten, he fell in love with football. He never had a pair of shoes because of the shape of his feet. He only wore socks on the football field. He never won a match, but he refused to give up. His strong arms and body, as well as some fantastic ways made him a respected player on the school team. He went to a famous university after high school.

    Now Jason still faces manyhardshipsin life, but he will make you believe that you can do what he has done. "Never be afraid of any difficulty," Jason often encourages others in his speeches.
