Rich or poor, young or old, we all have problems. We can easily become unhappy we solve our problems. about our problems can affect how we do things at school or at home. So how do we deal with our problems?
Most of us have probably been angry our friends, parents or teachers. Perhaps they said something you didn’t like, or you felt they were unfair. Sometines, people can stay angry for years about a small problem. Time goes by, and good friendsships may .
When we’re angry, however, we are usually the ones affected. Have you ever seen young children playing together? But they fight very soon, and decide not to talk to each other. However, this usually doesn’t for long. They become good friends again. This is an important for us: we can solve a problem by learning to forget.
Many students often complain about school. They might feel they have too much work to do sometimes, or think the rules are too . We must learn how to change these “problems” into “challenges”(挑战). As young adults, it is our duty our best to deal with challenge with the help of our teachers.
By comparing yourself to other people, you will find your problrms are not so . Think about Stephen Hawking, for example, a very clever scientist. He can’t walk or even speak, but he regards his many physical problems as unimportant. Now he is known a great scientist in the world. We are probably quite healthy and smart. Let’s not worry about our problems. Let’s face the challenges instead.

Once there lived a farmer called Henry. He had a brother, Mike, in town who was an excellent gardener. His skill and his beautiful trees were everywhere.
One day, Henry went to town to visit Mike. “Look, my brother,” said Mike, “Here is the best tree from my garden. Take it home and it so that you, and your children, and your children’s children can enjoy it.” Henry was with the apple tree and went back home. The next morning, he began to where he should plant it.
“If I plant it on the hill,” he said to himself, “the wind might catch it and down the fruit; If I plant it close to the road, people who pass by will pick some of them; but if I plant it…”
he planted the tree in the corner behind his house, where no one else could notice it. But the tree bore（结出）no fruit the first year, nor the second. Then Henry sent for his brother and said to him , “You have cheated me. This is the third year and it brings me but leaves.”
When Mike saw where the tree was planted, he laughed and said, “You have planted the tree in such a cold corner without or warmth. How, then, could you expect flowers and fruit?”
