What’s the most important thing for you to have in your life?Somebody mentions(提到)hard-work, others suggest knowledge, love and luck．
If you arrange(排列)the 26 English letters alphabetically(按字母表的顺序)and use numbers to represent(代表)each of them, for example, 1 for a, 2 for b, 3 for c…, you can change an English word into a number．So hard-work becomes 8＋1＋18＋4＋23＋15＋18＋11＝98．It means that 98 is its mark．(分数)Knowledge becomes 11＋14＋15＋23＋12＋5＋4＋7＋5＝96 while love becomes 12＋15＋22＋5＝54, and luck becomes 12＋21＋3＋11＝47, a small mark．None of these words can give one a full mark．What about money or prayer(祈祷)?They can’t, either．
Then what else? Don’t be worried．You can always find an answer to a problem in your life, when you change your way of looking at things or doing things, or your attitude(态度)．Yes, attitude is the word．See for yourself：attitude：1＋20＋20＋9＋20＋21＋4＋5＝100, a full mark．
Different attitudes lead to different courses of life．Most time people hope for a better life．It is possible that one will have a change for the better after one has changed one’s attitude．
When you change your manner and became friendly towards others, you’ll meet more smiling faces towards you．In the same way, if you take a positive(积极地)attitude towards failure(失败), you’ll find you can also get something though you lose something．
