Dick lived in England. One day in January he said to his wife, "I'm going to fly to New York next week because I've got some work there." "Where are you going to stay there?" his wife asked. "I don't know yet." Dick answered. "Please send me your address from there in a telegram(电报)," his wife said. "All right," Dick answered.

He flew to New York on January 31st and found a nice hotel in the center of the city. He put his things in his room and then he sent his wife a telegram. He put the address of his hotel in it.

In the evening he didn't have any work, so he went to a cinema. He came out at nine, clock and said, "Now I'm going back to my hotel and have a nice dinner."

    He found a taxi and the driver said, "Where do you want to go?" But Dick didn't remember the name and address of his hotel. Of course, the driver of the taxi did not know, either.

    So Dick got out and went into a post office. There he sent his wife another telegram and in it he wrote, "Please send me my address at this post office."

    There was once an old and deep well．People got water by dropping a bucket（木桶） tied to a rope．The rope passed over a wheel just above the well．On the other side of the rope was another bucket．

    A strong pull brought one bucket to the top while the other down to the water．They always passed each other on the way up and down，but never had time to speak．

    At last，the rope became worn．So a new rope had to be put in its place．While this was being done，the two buckets were left standing together near the well．

    "What a boring life we have!"said one bucket to the other．"I am quite tired of it．No matter how full we come up，we are always sent down empty．"

    But the other bucket laughed and said，"What a funny way you have of looking at things!Don't you see that whenever we are sent down empty，we always come up full？'

    Boys and girls sometimes talk like these two buckets．You may hear one of them say，"Just as we are having a good game，we are made to stop and go to work again．""Yes，"the other will reply，"but as soon as work is over，we always get to go out and have fun again．"

    There are two ways of looking at things．If you want to be happy，look at the bright side．

    When my brother and I were children, we spent a few weeks each summer in the countryside with our uncle. He was a geologist and loved to go on long walks to find stones to add to his collection at the university. More often than not, we followed him.

    One day, we left early and this time, our uncle gave us two backpacks. "You can help me carry the samples（样本）," he explained.

    Sure, why not? The whole day, we walked around the countryside, and every now and then, our uncle put stones in our bags. We were a bit surprised that sometimes he also took some stones out from our bags, but thought he had just found better samples.

    We reached the house in the late afternoon. The backpacks were so heavy that we were really tired out when we put them on the ground. Yet our uncle's backpack was half-empty.

    "Why did you give us so many stones?" we asked. "I didn't. You did, "he said, waiting for a while before continuing." You did not know it, but I made you go through a little attitude（态度） test today."

    "What do you mean an attitude test?" we wanted to know.

    "It is something someone once did to me. You see, I listened to every word you said. And whenever you complained（抱怨） about anyone or anything, I added a stone to your bags. And whenever you talked about something in an attitude of positive thinking, I took out a stone. And now look at your backpacks." We did. They were full. "I hope you remember this little attitude test. You see, your negative（负面的） thoughts are like stones. You carry them in your mind just like those stones in a backpack. The more negative thoughts you have, the heavier your mind is. So look at those bags and start paying attention to what you say and how you say things."

    This little lesson was one of the most important I ever had. And I remember my uncle with great love for teaching us one of the most important lessons in life-the power of attitude.
