I may not be the wisest person on this planet,but I will tell you a little secret of happiness：help others,and live life. It is that sim?ple. Just help a friend study for a test,or volunteer at a nursing home. I learned this after a long,hard search.
I was feeling really down because my longtime friend had died. Then I started a sixweek volunteering at a nursing home all day every Saturday. My routine was to serve the meal and clean up. After that,I would wait for the head nurse to tell me what to do.
One day I was told to go to Room 117 to make sure the patient was all right. In the room I found a boy of eight sitting in his bed watching a movie. I was shocked to see a child in this seemingly forgotten nursing home for the old. He was so small and weak that you had to look closely to find him. He motioned for me to sit down. I grabbed his medical chart from which later I found out he had a terminal illness.
We started to talk,and I found out that his family rarely visited,and all he did every day was watch TV. I wanted to cry for him,and for my lost friend. As we talked,he had a smile on his face,and I asked him why.
"In the entire two hours I've been here you've never lost that smile. With this horrible disease,how do you still manage to stay happy?"
He thought for a moment,and then said that too many people are dead even before they die. They walk around feeling that God has cursed (诅咒) them and that they have nothing to live for. The boy said that he would not be like that. He wakes every morning thankful to see another sunrise. He keeps his window open so that he can smell the flowers and feel the heat of the sun. He also said that he has hope.
"Too many people haven't seen much of that around here," he said. "Life is full of hope and we need to live life before it is gone."
I don't know what happened to him. I assume he passed away,but his lesson lives on. I now wake up and live each day to the fullest. The key to life is not mon?ey or fame,but the lessons we learn from it.
