Did you have a bad day yesterday? If you have one bad day after another, you need to learn the 90/10 secret (秘诀).

A bad start

Jack’s daughter, Emily, knocked over (打翻) a cup of milk and it fell on his trousers at breakfast yesterday. Jack got annoyed. He shouted at his daughter and she started to cry.

“Why did you shout at her?” asked his wife. “Why did you put the cup on the edge (边缘) of the table?” replied Jack. Then he went to change his trousers.

Because she was upset, Emily didn’t get ready for school in time and she missed her bus. Jack had to drive Emily to school. Because he didn’t have enough time, he forgot his bag. He was forty minutes late for work. As soon as he got there, he had to go home again to get his bag.

Did it have to be a bad start?

Again the milk fell on Jack’s trousers, but this time he didn’t shout. He smiled and said, “It’s OK. Don’t worry!” Then he went to change his trousers. When he came back, Emily said, “Bye, Daddy.” And she ran out to catch her bus. Jack went to work early, and he had a great day.

So, here’s the 90/10 secret.

Ten percent of life is what happens to us. We can’t control it. That’s life. Things happen and we have to deal with (应对) them.

Ninety percent of life, however, is how we deal with it. Remember that when something bad happens next time.

How do students spend their spare time after finishing their homework? Watch TV, play computer games, or go outside to relax? Here's a good example.

Tim and Kerry Meek are both teachers.They live in the UK with their two daughters: eleven?year?old Amy and nine?year?old Ella.Recently, the Meek family has become the focus of the whole country after they completed 100 different outdoor activities in one year.

The Meek couple didn't want their children to spend all their free time in front of the TV and become “couch potatoes”.So about one year ago, the Meeks decided that watching TV and playing computer games were not permitted.Instead, they set 100 tasks for the two girls to do outside.Although Mr.and Mrs.Meek were not outdoor activity fans, they took part in all the activities to encourage their daughters.It turned out that the two sisters really had a good time joining in the activities.

Every holiday and weekend, whether it's sunny, rainy or snowy, the Meeks would set off to try the activities on their list, including hiking, sailing, climbing, skiing, and so on.The two little girls not only had a wonderful time, but also learned a lot of skills from the activities.They were even able to stand up in front of their school to give a talk for charity.“Our__friends__spend__a__lot__of__their__free__time__doing__things__which__are__harmful__to__their__health.Luckily,__we've__had__the__chance__to__experience__something__different.” Amy and Ella also helped their parents to draw up a new list of challenges for the next 12 months.
