You are in a full-time school called “life”. Each day in this school you will have the chance to learn lessons. You may like the lessons or hate them, but they're part of your life. Each person has a different path. As you travel along your life path, you will be faced with many lessons that you will need to learn in order to realize your goal. These lessons are specific. As you travel through your lifetime, you will meet challenge lessons that others don't have to face, while others spend years struggling with challenges that you don' t need to deal with. You cannot be sure why you struggle hard for money while your friends enjoymuch wealth. You must remember that you will be faced with all the lessons that you specifically need to learn, whether you choose to learn them or not. Remember, don't compare your path with that of people around you and focus on the differences between their lessons and yours.

    Life is not fair, and you may indeed have a more difficult path than others around you, and the only thing you can do is to accept it and make it better.

    Johnny Smith was a high school student who was good at Maths. He loved his computer. He came home early every day, and then he worked with it till midnight. But Johnny was poor at English indeed. He usually got "F" in his English. One day after school, Johnny joined his computer to the computer in his school office. The school office computer had the grades of all the students; the Maths grades, the science grades, the grades in arts and music and the grades in English. He found his English grade was an "F" again! Johnny changed it from "F" to "A". The next day, Johnny's parents looked at his school report card. They were very happy. "An 'A' in English!" said his father. "You are a very clever boy, Johnny." However, they didn't even know that Johnny was a hacker.

    Hackers know how to take information from other computers and put in false information by using a mode. They join their computers to others' secretly. School headmasters and teachers are worried about hackers, so are the police, for some people even take money from bank computer accounts and put it into their own ones. And they never need to leave home to do it! They are called hackers.
