Thinking our life is good enough doesnt e naturally to many people. When we have high expectations of everything in life we will run into disappointment. Only when we are aware that needs are different from desires can we live with satisfaction. Here are a few ideas to help you be happier with what you have and who you are.Focus on what you are thankful for.

Many people regret something they can no longer change, which ends up holding them back from moving forward in a more positive manner. What happened in the past is done and gone, so work to stay present and be mindful of the current （目前的）moment to find more joy and fulfillment（满足）.When we use other people as the measuring stick for our personal success and quality of life we are likely to be less satisfied. Social parisons can provide useful information when we try to learn from others, but they also hold our perspective（观点）in a discontented position. pare yourself less with others so you can be satisfied more.When you are focused on your big ambitions（抱负）and future goals you might elide the daily pleasures that surround you.

Learn from successful people.C. Focus on your future goals. D. Create chance to learn more.CThe trouble with school is that you cant choose the people you get to see every day. If youre unlucky enough to be stuck with classmates who dont really “get” you, youve just got to try to make the best of it.But that doesnt mean you need to “fit in”, or at least in the way that people think. If you try to transform yourself into a clone of everyone else, it wont help you make friends. Itll just make you feel like a fake. You also shouldnt shut down or refuse to be friends with everyone who doesnt like you. If you do that, youll just make yourself miserable. Instead, youve got to work on being fortable and confident with whom you are while ignoring（忽略）all the haters. Keep on speaking up, asking questions and getting to know people better. If you send out positive energy, then people will generally send some back to you. A couple of them will stay the same, and youre allowed to forget about them.If you feel like youve doing all that but still not getting anywhere, then dont give up. Just expand your circle. Get a part-time job at a cool-looking place, join an after-school art class or youth groupdo whatever it takes to find a couple of like-minded people to connect with. Even if you dont find anyone right away, youll still be getting some more social experiences under your belt, and thats always a good thing.A fun book called Uncool, by Erin Elisabeth Conley, has some tips for folks like you who want to stay positive at school while being true to your personality: Throw caution to the wind. Dont tolerate others mistakes. Have patience with people who are different from you. Dont change just because someone else thinks you should. Know that even though you may be a misfit, theres always some place where you will be weled in the world.29. According to the author, what should you do if you meet people who dont appreciate you?A.

In fact, thats something Barrie teacher Liz Collett rarely does. Instead, shes on the move, talking to students about their work, from the small group sitting on the floor playing games to others nearby figuring out a math problem.The children in this class do not take a spelling test all yearin fact, the school avoids all pencil-and-paper testsnor do they get assigned homework. Instead, their teacher gives them immediate feedback（反馈）on their work throughout the day.Wele to the school of the 21st century, a place where teachers and students cooperate all the time. Such advanced classrooms are trying things, which some might consider as coddling kidsletting students give a voice-recorded essay instead of a written one or even allowing teens to design their own courses.Though some people blame（谴责）schools for dumbing things down（降低教育标准）, others will say such changes are actually based on the newest research on how to attract todays youth and increase not only their interests, but also their achievements. Many of todays school are not holding kids interests. And if they Ye not interested, theyre not learningand isnt that the point?“Students today say they want their education to be useful and valuable, and dont want it to be simply repeating the facts. Thats the kind of learning that be happening for many kids,” says Penny Milton, a researcher. “What we could argue is that to bee good learners, they need to bee thinkers.”Jan Olson, anther researcher, says schools have been operating the same way since the Industrial Revolution. But the digital age is bringing an education revolution. While using technology is a part of it, whats important for students is being able to use information and understand it, not just remembering it.Todays learner needs fewer traditional tests and more “effective” feedback, ongoing discussion with a teacher, which studies have found is the number one factor in Improving achievement.32.
