When I was a junior high school student in 1980, God gave me a gift.

It was happiness.

One weekend, I went to visit my grandparents in the countryside. On my way home a car ran over me and cut off my because of its high speed.

Several days later when I woke up at the hospital, I realized I had to spend the rest of my life arms. How sad I felt at that time! Even I was full of fears. slowly I knew I had to face the fact and got over it. I couldn't get my arms back even though I every day.

However, it's easier to than to do. It took me nearly half a year to get out of the sadness completely. I got so much from my past story. From then on, I could treat my life with a normal(正常的)mind. But in our daily life, I often see my classmates get about little things: They get a bad grade on a test; they don't have a mobile phone but have, and so on. But I only life. I was lucky to realize from an accident: It is a waste of our life to focus on(关注)what you have . We should always think of what we have had.

Happiness depends on(取决于)what we have! It's in our heart. It's a state of mind, even though you own the whole world, you may still feel . Happiness comes from mastering the art of appreciating(感激)and taking pleasure in what you really have.
