School of Athens

The Night Watch
Rembrandt is one of the most famous Dutch painters. This painting is huge (11 ft X 14 ft) and shows a group of soldiers leaving for a battle. Unlike earlier paintings which show people looking stiff (僵硬的) ，this picture captures their movement. Also,the way he painted the light em?phasizes the three men in the front as well as a young girl. The girl has a dead chicken hanging frdm her belt―a sym?bol that they will defeat their enemy.
American Gothic
This is likely the most famous American painting of all time. "Gothic" refers to the top window of the house in the background. During the Great Depression,this paint?ing became a symbol of the hardworking and determined American people. Note that the pitchfork (干草叉) is mirrored on the man's overalls (夕卜套) .
The Son of Man
This painting is an example of surrealism (超现实主义) ，a style that captures strange dreamlike feelings.

7. I would rather you (take) my advice. Now you've got a bad result. It serves you right.
You have the ability to decide if you are happy or not. Happiness is a choice.
You can't depend on someone else to make you happy. That is a les?son I learned early in my marriage. I realized that I couldn't rely on my husband as my source of happiness. I learned that my happiness depended on me and not my husband's actions. I learned that you have to choose to be happy.
You can choose your emotions. True happiness comes from within; it can't be forced by outside forces. So how do you choose happiness? The same way you choose to smile or choose to wear a certain outfit. You choose it because that's what you want to experience in your life.
You want to buy a new pair of shoes so you choose a pair that you like and feel good. You wouldn't buy a pair of shoes that you don't like or that don't fit well,right? So why do we keep choosing emotions and feelings that don't make us feel good?
Choosing to be happy after you realize your anger has shown up (or even choo?sing to be calm) can be beneficial. We choose our feelings; no one can do that for us. If we let others get to us,influence our emotions―we are giving them power over us. When others cause us anger or pain,we are giving them our power.
We need to keep our feelings in check and not react automatically to what is thrown at us. We need to think our actions out instead of just reacting to what some?one says or does.
Remember that we can always choose happiness. At first it will be difficult to just switch your thoughts and feelings from anger,selfdoubt,or fear to joy and happiness. But it is only a thought away. Don't dwell on what happens to you un?necessarily but realize what is causing you to feel that way. Realize that,thoughts,feelings and emotions can change. Then move on and choose to be happy.
