A friend invited us to help serve dinner at Tent City. A number of tents ( 帐篷) were set up for the homeless in the area.
I took my nine-year-old boy with me. He had a lot of questions because this whole thing challenged（挑战）his common ideas about how people lived in the world.
“Why don't they have homes?"
"Why don't they get food the way we do?”
We talked through the reasons why people end up in this kind of situation. Many of the people we served were missing teeth or had dirty clothes, To my surprise, they were quite thankful that I had brought my boy. Many said how fun it was to have an active child around. After dinner, I saw my son talking about sports happily with several elderly gentlemen. He was having a great time with them.
As some people returned to their tents, I heard him tell them, "Thanks so much for coming to have dinner with us. "I could see that my son’s simple words touched them greatly. I hugged him as we left to go home because it touched me too.
We should treat people with respect, no matter who they are ,I think my boy has learned this.

As a 23-year-old man, I was sitting on my mom’s sofa and waiting for the pain in my back to ease (减轻). No work and money forced my wife, our baby boy and me to live with my parents. We slept in my old bedroom, and I was feeling down.
Thankfully, I had one new job: helping my son learn how to walk. Anytime he took a few steps, however, he would fall down and cry, I had to hold his hand while he walked long. But my back didn’t deal with it too well. As I sat there with my eyes close, I suddenly head my mother said.“Joe, look!" I opened my eyes and watched my son catch the coffee table. Pull himself up and smile. Then, he started walking around it, keeping his hands on it for balance（平衡). Finally, when he reached the end of it, he took two big steps and make it to the wall. Then he started walking down the hall with his hands balancing on the wall the whole way. I laughed and cheered. Suddenly, I didn’t feel that bad. Because my boy had learned to walk.
We may fail many times in our life. It's just like learning to walk. When we fall, we should stand up and keep trying. That's what we should do to have a better life.

Ten years ago, Professor Richard Wiseman set out to study luck. He wanted to know why some people are always in the right place at the right time, while others always experience ill luck.
Many people volunteered for his research. Over the years he interviewed them, watched their lives and had them take part in his experiments(实验). He carried out a simple experiment to discover why there were differences in their ability to catch the chance.
He gave both lucky and unlucky people a newspaper and asked them to look through it and tell him how many paragraphs were inside. He had secretly placed a large message halfway through the newspaper saying, "Tell the researcher you have seen this and win S50. " This message took up half of the page, but unlucky people missed it and lucky people caught it.
Unlucky people are just more nervous. They are busy looking only for what they need and this stops them from noticing the unexpected. As a result, they miss out on the chance. Lucky people are more relaxed and open. The can see everything that is in front of them, not just what they are looking for.
Richard’s research shows that lucky people live by several principles(原则). Here are some of them.
Listen to your gut instincts((直觉), they are often right.
Be open to new experiences and break your usual thought pattern(模式).
Spend a few moments each day remembering things that went well.
See yourself being lucky before an important meeting or phone call.
