Its a feeling of your heart.When you are poor, you can also say you are happy, because you have something else that cant be bought with money. When you meet difficulties, you can say loudly you are very happy, because you have more chances to challenge(挑战) yourself.So you cannot always say you are poor and you have bad luck.As the saying goes, life is like a revolving (旋转的)door,when it closes, it also opens.
