local parks, and along a lake. When I 40 a walk, my mind usually goes right to my

41 — where does the path lead?

　 My children have taught me to put aside the goal, and 42 the journey. My kids have taken my black and white world and added so much 43 into it; it’s like I’m seeing with 44 eyes. They remind me to slow down and 45 the world, rather than just walk right through it. I love that about them!

Listen Quietly

Listening to others is what I 47 mastered in school or in practice, but have learned by being a student of my own children.

What a gift to give — allowing others to feel 50 and understood.

Enjoy Moments

　 Anyone who knows me will tell me that I am “ 51 ”. I multi-task with the best of them and 52 to accomplish an awful lot in a day.

　 When my children and I walk together or spend an extra 20 minutes before bed laughing and playing, we 53 our finest moments. My lists, tasks, and must-dos will always be there, but my children are only 54 once — and for a very short time.

　 Kids can really be our greatest teachers. When we are ready, children are always there to 55 us what we really need to know.

Capturing the Memories

　　Almost everyone has heard of MySpace.com.It allows friends to connect with each other.But did you ever wonder where the idea for this website came from? It is modeled after high school yearbooks.

　　A yearbook is a book used to record memories of a specific class.For example,I graduated from Manchester West High School in 2001.My yearbook is dedicated(献给) to my senior class.In this book you will find a picture of all my classmates.

　　Alongside your picture,you can put a quote that is important to you.Next to the quote and your photo is a list of your school and sports activities.Later in the book are pages dedicated to teams and organizations.For example,the girls football team has a page of pictures and memories.

　　After you receice the yearbook,you go around and have your friends sign it and write letters to you.This will remind you about the many adventures you had with your friends. Although, 40 years ago,a girl wrote a loving message in my father's yearbook but when he showed me it,he didn't remember who the girl was!

　　But the yearbook is the final memory for seniors,so it will often be the one reminder of your high school years that you carry with you throughout life.In my mother's yearbook she still has,pressed between the pages,the flower her date gave her at her senior prom. That was in 1967.

　　High school is a magical time.It is when we experience many of the important moments of your lives.Our first kiss.Driving for the first time.Our first big success.Out first major hearbreak.Unlike MySpace,which can constantly be updated,a yearbook captures these special moments in our lives and holds on to them forever so that we may never forget.Because,honestly , we will never want to.

　　　 One effective way of destroying happiness is to look at something and focus on even the smallest fault. It’s like looking at the tiled (铺瓦的) ceiling and concentrating on the space where one tile is 　36　

　　　 Once I heard a bald man said, “whenever I enter a room 　37　 I see is hair.” Once you’ve 　38

what your missing tile is, explore whether acquiring it will 39 make you happy. Then do one of the three things: get it, replace it with a different 　40 , or forget about it and 　41 the tiles in your life that are not missing.

　　　 We all know people who have a relatively 　42 life, yet are essentially unhappy while people who have suffered a great deal but 　43 remain happy.

　　　 The first 　44 is gratitude. All happy people are 　45 . Ungrateful people cannot be happy. We tend to think that being unhappy leads people to 　46 , but it’s truer to say that complaining leads to people becoming unhappy.

　　　 The second secret is 　47 that happiness is a byproduct (副产品) of something else. The most obvious 　48 are those pursuit (追求) that give our lives purpose — anything 　49 studying insects to playing baseball. The more passions we have, the more happiness we are 　50 to experience.

　　　 Finally, the belief that something permanent goes beyond us and that our 　51 has some larger meaning can help us to feel happier. We 52 a spiritual faith, or a philosophy, it should 53 this truth: if you choose to find the 　54 in every situation, you will be blessed, and if you choose to find the awful, you will be cursed. As with happiness itself, this is 55 your decision to make.
