I learned how our attitudes made a big difference in our everyday lives from my friend Mary.

She doesn’t have any pets. I happened to see her outside on a -30 degree morning walking a dog. I felt sorry for Mary, out there walking a dog that’s not hers in such cold weather. I thought maybe she was saying to herself, “Yeah, this is why I don’t have any pets! I hate walking dogs.”

Later that day I saw Mary and said, “I saw you out there walking a dog this morning. Are you unhappy because you had to walk it on such a cold day?” To my surprise, she said that she enjoyed getting out there and walking the dog and that she got good exercise because of the dog. She also said she had talked to her brother, the dog’s owner, who was on holiday in Orlando, Florida with his family. He said his children were enjoying Disney World and the resorts (胜地). His four-year-old son had breakfast with Mickey Mouse and said it was the best day in his life. Mary said, “If I can help my brother and his family have a wonderful time relaxing for a week, knowing that their pet is being loved and cared for, what more could I ask for?” She added, “It’s worth it for me to make the sacrifice (牺牲) so that they can go and have fun.”

     Life may not always seem fair, but we can learn to deal with it and make new choices along the way.
     I remember so clearly sitting next to my dad as we drove through the town. I was complaining about
something unfair that had happened to me. Dad looked directly at me and said,"No one ever said life was fair."
I was shocked at his answer. Later on as my marriage had problems even though I tried to save it. I could still
hear"It's not fair" in my hear
t. Now as I raise two kids alone, try to create new relationships and build a
business, I am forced to face the inevitable (不可避免的) truth every day. Gradually I've found that I have
accepted my dad's wisdom.
     We all will face loss or unexpected changes. But unfairness should not be the only thing in our life. We
choose for ourselves what seems fair by comparing our lives with others', and this can lead us to feel that our
own lives are unfair. People need to ignore what others have and set their own plans. Certainly, there're so many unhappy events in the world and in our lives, and when we deal with them, we try to control as many things as we can. Then, the sense of" it's not fair" often comes when we can't control the things in our lives. So please
put your efforts into the process rather than the result. You should learn that life is unfair, but you can be fair
and learn how to enjoy life.
