　　For a long time being happy was considered natural，and there was nothing special to do about it．Now we know that we can work at getting along well with other people．It is possible to act in such a way that other people will like us better．

　　One way is being unselfish，not wanting everything your own way or asking for the best share of everything, including the attention of your friends．Another way is to look for good points, not bad ones in other people．

　　You don't have to be spineless(无骨气的)in order to be popular．In fact，you will be liked and respected(尊重)if you are not afraid to stand up for your rights(权利)．But do it politely and pleasantly．One way to develop a good character is being friendly and polite to your own group,　to older people，to strangers and especially to those who do not look important or do not interest you．

　　You cannot expect to be perfect,　so you must learn not to be too unhappy when you make a mistake．Everyone makes mistakes, and no one is to be blamed unless he refuses to learn from them．Many young people become discouraged(泄气的) when they know their unpleasant qualities－selfishness，laziness，etc．Just remember that we all have some of these faults and have to fight against them．

　　When something is wrong，it is best to try to make it right．Perhaps you don't like a teacher or a classmate．Try to see why，and look at yourself，too．Make sure that you are not doing something to make others dislike you．In time, things may turn out all right, then you simply have to learn to get along the best you can with the situation, without thinking too much about it．Worrying never helps in a situation you can't change．

　　The size and shape(外形)of your ears show your character(性格)more than any other part of the face．Other parts of the face change shapes as we get older, but ears do not change their shapes．They only change in size．

　　Reading people's character from their ears is a very old science．In the past people thought that a person's ears with colour was dangerous．They also thought that the shape of the ears showed if a person was musical or not．Today, too, many people believe that the size and shape of the ears help you know if a person is musical．

　　Ears are all different, and each different thing has a meaning．Next time you look at a person, see if his or her ears are large, medium-size, or small．Look at the lobes(耳垂)．Do they stick to the face? Ears that are always red mean that a person may get angry easily．Ears that are always cold and nearly white colour mean that a person has a nervous(神经质)character．
