However, it's easier 5 than done. It took me nearly half a year to get out of the sadness 6 . I got so much from my past story. From then on, I could treat my life with a 7 mind.

I was lucky to realize from an accident : It is a waste of our life to focus on what you have 12 . We should always think of what we have. So why are so many people unhappy? Someone may say, “My whole life would improve 13 I have a new car.” But when you get the car and what 14 ? For a whole week you are walking on air. Then you go right back to being unhappy.

Happiness depends on what we have! It's in our heart. It's a state of mind, even though you own the whole world, you may still feel15 .Happiness comes from mastering the art of appreciating(感激) and taking pleasure in what you really have.
