Have you ever been sad because you failed in something? If so, please remember, for often, achieving what you expect is not the most important thing. Here is story to tell you why.

One day a little boy decided to dig a hole behind his house after watching science program.

As he was working, a couple of boys stopped to watch. "What are you doing" asked one of the visitors. "I want to dig a deep hole all the way through the earth!" the boy answered excitedly. The older boys began to laugh, telling him that it was impossible to do it. Then they left.

The little boy kept on digging and digging. Suddenly, a few small colorful stones caught his eyes. He collected them and put them into a glass jar patiently. Humming a song, he went on digging. The jar was full soon. Then he talked to himself calmly and proudly, "Maybe I can't finish digging all the way through the earth but look at what I have found in the process of digging!"

The boy's goal was too difficult, but it did cause him to go on, in other words, to cause us to keep working!

Not every goal will be achieved. Not every job will end up with a success. Not every dream will come true. But when you can't achieve your goal, maybe you can say, "Yes, but look what I've found along the way! There are so many wonderful things that have 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 has meaning.

People who smoke could lose around one third of their daily memory, researchers say.

A study by a team at Northumbria University showed that smokers lost more of their memory when compared to non-smokers.

 And the research also found that those who kicked the habit saw their ability to recollect information back to almost the same level as non-smokers.

 The study involved more than seventy 18-to-25-year-olds and included a research of the university. Those who took part were asked to recall small details, such as a list of songs played at the Students' Union and tasks completed at various points.

 Smokers performed badly, remembering just 59 of tasks. But those who had given up smoking remembered74% and those who had never smoked recalled 81% of tasks.

Dr. Tom Heffernan, who leads Northumbria University's Collaboration for Drug and Alcohol Research Group, said the findings would be useful in movements against smoking. He said, "This is the first time that a study has set out to examine whether giving up smoking has an effect on memory."

 "We already know that giving up smoking has huge health benefits for the body, but this study also shows how stopping smoking can have knock-on benefits for cognitive functions too.

Life comes in a package. This package includes happiness and sadness, failure and success, hope and despair. Life is a learning process. Experiences in life teach us new lessons and make us a better person. With each passing day we learn to deal with kinds of situations.

 Love plays an important role in our lives. Love makes you feel wanted. Without love a person could be cruel. In the early stage of our life, our parents are the ones who show us with unconditional—love and care, they teach us about what is right and wrong good and bad. But we always tend to take this for granted(认为理所应当). It is only after marriage and having kids that a person understands and becomes sensitive to others' feelings.

 Happiness achieved by bringing a smile on other's face gives a certain level of fulfillment(成就) Peace of mind makes you feel happy. No mind is happy without peace. We realize the true worth of happiness when we are sad. Sadness comes from the death of a loved one or the failure. But all of these things will pass away.

 Failure is the way to success, and it helps us to touch the sky, teaches us to survive and shows us a specific way. Success brings in money, fame, pride and self—respect.

 Hope is what keeps life going. Parents always hope their children will do well. Hope makes us dream. Hope builds on patience. Life teaches us not to despair even in the darkest hour, because after every night there is a day.

 Life teaches us not to regret over yesterday, for it has passed and is beyond our control. Tomorrow is unknown, for it could either be bright or dull. So what we can choose is to work hard today, so that we will enjoy a better tomorrow.
