A young man was complaining about his bad luck and poverty. He frowned (皱眉) all day. A wise old man came to him and said, “Hey, kid, why are you so unhappy?”
“I don’t understand why I'm so poor!” he replied.
“Poor? I think you are very wealthy!” the wise old man said sincerely.
The young man was puzzled, “Why do you say that?”
“Supposing someone offers you one thousand dollars to cut your finger off, would you do it?” “Of course not!” the young man replied.
“And ten thousand dollars to chop your leg off?” “Certainly not!”
“A hundred thousand dollars to scoop your eyes out?” “Surely not!”
“One million dollars to turn you into a 90-year-old man immediately?”
“Definitely not!”
“Ten million dollars to take your life right away?” “Absolutely not!”
The wise old man said with a smile, “So there you are. You already possess what is worth more than ten million dollars. Why are you still sad to be so poor?” After the young man listened to the wise old man's words, it started to become clear to him.

2. Tom: My wife says I should take up gardening. We have a big garden and she loves working in it. But the truth is, it bores me. My friends and my wife think I’m really boring, because I’m always listening to music. I go to concerts all the time. I love Mozart and all that classical staff.

My mother and I stay at the South Lake Hotel for a week when we visited Beijing last month. It is in the downtown area, and it is easy to go to anywhere from the hotel by public transport. We lived in a comfortably double-room with a big bath. That I liked best were the free high-speed Internet connection in the room. I checked my email messages every day.
