An English traveler found himself in a northern European country with a little money to buy the ticket for the travel back home. As he knew that it would take him only two days to get to England,he thought that he would be all right without food. So he bought a ticket and got on the ship. He closed his ears to the lunch bell. When dinner time came,he refused to go to the dining hall,saying that he was not feeling well. The next morning he didn't go to breakfast and at lunch time he again stayed in his room. At dinner time he was so hungry that he could not stand it any longer. “I'm going to eat ,”he said, “even if they throw me into the sea. ” At dinner he ate everything in front of him at the table,and waited for the coming trouble. “Bring me the bill. ”He said. “There isn’t any bill ,” was the answer. ‘‘On the ship the money for the ticket includes meals. ”The traveler was sad when he heard this.

   What's the most important thing for you to have in your life? Somebody thinks it's hard work; others think it's knowledge,love and luck...

   If you arrange the 26 English letters in order and use numbers to represent each of them,for example,1 for a,2 for b,3 for c. . . 26 for z,you can change an English word into a number. So hard work becomes 8 + 1 +18+4+23 + 15+18+11 =98,meaning 98 is its mark; knowledge: 11 + 14 + 15 +23 + 12 +5 +4 +7 + 5 = 96;love : 12 + 15 +22 + 5 =54,and luck : 12+21 + 3+11 = 47,a small mark. None of these words can give one a full mark. What about money? It canH,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. 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 they will have a better life if they change their attitudes. When you change your manner and become friendly towards others,you will meet more smiling faces towards you. In the same way,if you take a positive attitude towards failure,you’ll find it's also rewarding though it has caused your losses.
