The hardest thing in the world is saying yes to the world. Do you say yes to the world? Most of us have a habit of going through our days saying no to the things we don’t like and yes to the things we like, and yet, everything we face is our life. We won’t say yes to the things we do not like, because we are afraid that we will not remove them forever.

But in fact, it is only through accepting the existence(存在) of what’s not working for us that we can begin to change our ideas. When we say yes to the world, we begin to believe that whatever our situation is, we can work with it. We express belief in ourselves, and the world, and we also express a willingness to learn from whatever happens to us, rather than running and hiding when we don’t like what we see. Therefore, in one word, saying yes is really good for our life.

The question we might ask ourselves is what it will take to get to the point of saying yes. For some of us, it takes dealing with something we can’t run away from or refuse, and so we have no choice but to say yes. For others, they might make a decision to say yes to life no matter what happens to them. Saying yes to life might be difficult at first, and even painful at times, but if we continue to say yes to life, it will be far less difficult in the end. And we will find the joy of being in a positive(积极的) talk to the world with a very powerful word ‘yes’. We should accept everything life puts in front of us.

【题目】Bassanio looked at the three boxes, but he didn't read the writing on them. He looked at the gold and silver. “The world is tricked by appearances” he said. “People often hide ordinary things with beautiful gold, silver, and jewels. People always agree with those who speak well, even if they say foolish things. Many people who seem brave are cowards(懦夫). I don't want these beautiful boxes of gold and silver. I will choose the lead() box with its ordinary colour. It speaks more to me than all the gold and silver in the world. Please give me the key to the lead box. Let happiness be mine.” When Bassanio opened the box and saw the picture of Portia inside it, he loved her even more because the picture was very beautiful, but Portia herself was even more beautiful than the picture.

The writing inside the box told him that he had chosen the right box. It said that he should go to Portia and look into her eyes. She would be his wife. Bassanio could not believe it.

“Is it really true? Will you really be my wife? I am afraid to believe it until you say so.” Bassanio asked Portia.

“Look at me”said Portia. “I am yours. Everything I am and everything I have is yours. Until now, I was the ruler(统治者) of this palace, master of my servants, and queen of myself. Now the palace, the servants and I are yours. I give them to you with this ring. Let it always be the symbol(象征) of our love. If you lose this ring, or sell it, or give it away, it will mean that you no longer love me.
