      "Son!" Tim's father shouted, "Is it possible for you to turn that noise down!?"
      "Sorry dad, but I love to play it loud because it makes me happy!" Tim replied while driving. He had
bought the car a week before he got his driver's license. The old car was all he could afford with the money
he'd earned since he was 14 mowing lawns (修草坪) in his neighborhood.
      "Tim", his father asked again with that same worried look Tim was used to seeing, "What makes you
happy by listening to that screaming (尖声的) guitar and what's the name of that trash?"
       "The song is called 'Happy'."
       "All I hear is that noisy guitar."
       "You never listen long enough to hear the words!"
       They continued arguing.
       As Tim neared the bend in the narrow road leading to their home, a new red sports car was out of
control. Tim madly tried to turn to the right but the red car hit the driver's side of Tim's car very quickly.
       Tim's father saw Tim's face was covered in blood. The driver of the red sports car ran near. "Sir, I'm
sorry! Here's my phone!" the young man shouted with a strong smell of beer on his breath.
       Tim was taken to the hospital. As Tim's mother arrived, she and her husband cried with fear
uncontrollably. Then the doctor asked them to come to a private room. "Your son asked that if he died, I'd
promise to tell his dad something. Sir, he asked me to tell you to please listen long enough to hear the words."
      Two weeks after Tim's burial (葬礼), his father opened the door of the car that he simply could not bear
to sell. He turned Tim's favorite song up loudly and listened until he heard the words."I'm so happy; I'm so
grateful." 
       He knew what Tim had been trying to tell him for so many years. Tearfully he read the words:"A happy
heart makes the face cheerful, but sadness destroys the spirit."

Workers may feel comfortable handing in a sick note for flu or physical illness but nearly half of workers reported not being happy to disclose a mental health condition at work,especially among manual(体力的)and skilled professions.

The survey of 1,000 workers by national charity The Shaw Trust found that 18.3% would not disclose a condition even to their HR department and only 17.9% would disclose details of an illness to a colleague.Of the respondents 34.5% said the reason they would not disclose a mental health condition was that they felt worried or ashamed they would be treated differently.This figure rose to 43.3% among16 to 24-year-olds.Besides,one in ten workers thought that disclosing a condition would reduce their chances of promotion with those in junior and middle management being most concerned.

Tim Cooper,managing director of The Shaw Trust,said:“The Office of National Statistics estimates that one in six people may suffer from a mental ill health condition at any one time.Despite this,our research illustrates people are still unwilling to disclose such a condition,particularly in the current economic climate in which workers are concerned about showing any sign of weakness.We know however from our work people with mental health conditions are perfectly capable of managing a job and their condition with the right support from their employers and therefore feel it is vital that such misunderstanding is laid to rest.”

To solve the problem,businesses need to create an environment in which people not only feel confident enough to discuss a mental health condition with a line manager or member of the HR team but in which they can also receive the support they need to continue making a valuable contribution.Additionally,to help businesses achieve this,The Shaw Trust has created a website offering advice and information.
