They were friends. One mouse lived in the country; the other mouse lived in the city. After many years the Country mouse saw the City mouse; he said, Do come and see me at my house in the country.

In his twenties Frank used to make spare parts for aeroplanes. At that time he had two helpers.

Then he ran up the nose of the lion, awakening the great beast from his sleep.The lion caught the little creature and the mouse, shivering with fear, cried out for mercy. Please have mercy on me, King Lion! Please dons kill me! Forgive me this time, and I will never forget it. A day may come when I may be able to do something for you to repay your kindness.The lion smiled at the mouses fright and laughed at the thought that so small a creature could ever help him, but he let the mouse go.Not long after this, the lion was caught in a hunters net. The angry lion let out a roar that could be heard far and wide throughout the forest. Even the mouse heard it. He knew it was the voice of the lion. He recalled that the lion had been merciful to him then. So he ran to the place where the lion lay caught in the net of ropes. He said to him, King Lion, now its time for me to repay you.The mouse set to work at once, biting with his sharp little teeth at the heavy ropes that held the lion. Soon the lion was free.8 Happiness is a journeyWe always convince ourselves that life will be better after we get married, have a baby, then another. Then we are frustrated that the kids arent old enough and well be more content when they are. After that were frustrated that we have teenagers to deal with. we will certainly be happy when they are out of that stage.We always tell ourselves that our life will be complete when our spouse gets his or her act together. when we get a nice car, and are able to go on a nice vocation when we retire. The truth is, theres no better time than right now. If not now, when? Our life will always be filled with challenges. Its best to admit this to ourselves and decide to be happy anyway.One of my favorite quotes（引用，格言）comes from Alfred Souza. He said.for a long time it had seemed to me that life was about to begin-real life. But there was always some obstacle in the way, someting to be gotten through firest, some unfinished business, time still to be served, a debt to be paid.Then life would begin. At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life. This perspective has helped me to see that there is no way to happiness. Happiness is the way. So treasure every moment that you have.And remember that time waits for no one. So stop waiting until you finish school, until you go back to school; until you get married, until you get divorced; until you have kids; until you retire; until you get a new car or home; until spring; until you are born again to decide that there is no better time than right now to be happy.Happiness is a journey, not a destination. So, work like you dont need money, love like youve never been hurt, and dance like no ones watching.9 Follow Your Own Course走自己的路Dont listen to those who say,Its not done that way.Maybe its not, but maybe you will.Dont listen to those who say,Youre taking too big a chance.Michelangelo would have painted the Sistine Floor,and it would surely be rubbed out by today.Most importantly, dont listenWhen the little voice of fear inside of yourear its ugly head and says,Theyre all smarter than you out there.Theyre more talented,Theyre taller, blonder, prettier, luckier and have connections.I firmly believe that if you follow a path that interests you,Not to the exclusion of love, sensitivity, and cooperation with others,But with the strength of convictionThat you can move others by your own efforts,And do not make success or failure the criteria by which you live,The chances are youll be a person worthy of your own respect.10.Advice from Mother Teresa 特蕾莎修女的忠告People are often unreasonable,illogical,and self-centered；人们常常蛮不讲理、不合逻辑和喜欢以自我为中心： Forgive then anyway. 无论如何，原谅他们！If you are kind,people may accuse you of selfish,ulterior motives 如果你善良，人们可能会带着自私和秘密的动机谴责你： Be kind anyway. 无论如何，善良一些！If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies；如果你成功，你将会有一些假朋友跟一些真正的敌人：Succeed anyway.无论如何，要成功啊！If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you； 如果你诚实率真，人们可能会期骗你：Be honest and frank anyway. 无论如何，诚实率真些！What you spend years building,someone could destroy overnight；可能你耗时经年来盖房子，某人会在一夜间将之毁于一旦： Build anyway. 无论如何，还是盖吧！If you find serenity and happiness,they may be jealous；如果你寻找到宁静和幸福，他们可能会嫉妒你： Be happy anyway. 无论如何，还是幸福吧！The good you do today,people will often forget tomorrow；今天你的善行，人们常常明天就会忘记： Do good anyway. 无论如何，作些好事！Give the world the best you have,and it may never be enough；贡献你最好的给世界，或许它永远不够： Give the world the best youve got anyway. 无论如何，将你最好的贡献出来给世界！You see, in the final analysis,it is between you and God: 你看，最后你跟上帝站在了一起：It was never between you and them anyway. 无论如何，这永远不会跟那些人在一起！11、Promise Yourself承诺自己To be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind.To talk health, happiness, and prosperity to every person you meet.To make all your friends feel that there is something special in them.To look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true.To think only of the best, to work only for the best, and to expect only thebest.To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about yourown.To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements ofthe future.To wear a cheerful countenance at all times and give every living creature youmeet a smile.To give so much time to the improvement of yourself that you have no time tocriticize others.To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear, and toohappy to permit the presence of trouble.要坚强，不让任何事物烦扰内心的平和。要与每一个见到的人谈论健康、快乐和富足。要让所有的朋友感到他们是与众不同的。要看一切事情的光明面，让积极乐观弥漫。要只去想最美好的事情；只追求最美好的结果；只怀有最美好的希望。要对他人的成功抱有像对自己的成功一样的热情。要抛却曾经的错误，为将来更伟大的成就坚定不移地前进。要永远面带愉快，要用微笑迎接每一个生命。要多花时间在自我提升上，这样就不会有时间去批评他人。要胸怀宽广，心无挂虑；要品行高尚，不怨不怒；要身心坚强，无所畏惧；要心情欢畅，远离烦恼。12沙子和石头 The story goes that two friends were walking through the desert. During some point of the journey they had an argument, and one friend slapped the other one in the face. 两个朋友结伴穿越沙漠，旅途中二人突然吵了起来，其中一个掴了对方一记耳光。The one who got slapped felt hurt, but without saying anything, wrote in the sand: Today my best friend slapped me in the face.被打的人感到自己受了伤害，但什么也没有说，只是在沙地上写下了这样一句话：“今天我最好的朋友掴了我耳光。”They kept on walking until they found an oasis, where they decided to take a bath. The one who had been slapped got stuck in the mire and started drowning, but the friend saved him.他们继续前行，看见到处绿洲，他们正打算在那里洗澡时，刚才被打的人不小心陷入了泥潭，开始深陷，他的朋友救了他。After he recovered from the near drowning, he wrote on a stone: quot;Today my best friend saved my life.等他从几近淹死的边缘苏醒过来后，他在石头上刻下：“今天我最好的朋友救了我的命。”The friend who had slapped and saved his best friend asked him, After I hurt you, you wrote in the sand and now you write on a stone. Why?他的朋友问：“为什么我伤你之后，你在沙子上写字，现在却把字刻在石头上？”The other friend replied: quot;When someone hurts us we should write it down in sand where winds of forgiveness can erase it away. But when someone does something good for us, we must engrave it in stone where no wind can ever erase it.他回答道：“当有人伤害了我们，我们应该把它写进沙里，宽恕的风会把仇恨抹去。而当有人为我们做了好事，我们应当把它刻在石头上，没有风可以将它抹去。”13Love Is Just a Thread爱只是一根线Sometimes I really doubt whether there is love between my parents. Every day they are very busy trying to earn money in order to pay the high tuition for my brother and me. They dont act in the romantic ways that I read in books or I see on TV. In their opinion, “I love you” is too luxurious for them to say. Sending flowers to each other on Valentines Day is even more out of the question. Finally my father has a bad temper. When hes very tired from the hard work, it is easy for him to lose his temper. 有时候，我真的怀疑父母之间是否有真爱。他们天天忙于赚钱，为我和弟弟支付学费。他们从未像我在书中读到，或在电视中看到的那样互诉衷肠。他们认为”我爱你”太奢侈，很难说出口。更不用说在情人节送花这样的事了。我父亲的脾气非常坏。经过一天的劳累之后，他经常会发脾气。 One day, my mother was sewing a quilt. I silently sat down beside her and looked at her.一天，母亲正在缝被子，我静静地坐在她旁边看着她。“Mom, I have a question to ask yo
