Question

    When I was a junior high school student in 1980, God gave me a gift. It was happiness.

One weekend, I went to visit my grandparents in the countryside. On my way home a car ran me over and cut off my _______ because of its high speed.

Several days later when I _______ in the hospital, I realized I had to spend the rest of my life _______ arms. How sad I felt at that time! Even I was full of fears. _______ slowly I knew I had to face the fact and got over it. I couldn't get my arms back even though I _______ every day.

However, it's easier said than _______. I took me nearly half a year to get out of the sadness _______.

I got so much from my past story. From then on, I could treat my life with a _______ mind. But in our daily life, I often see my classmates get _______ about little things: They get a bad grade on a test; their bus comes ________; they don't have a mobile phone but ________ have, and so on. But I only enjoy life. I was lucky to realize from an accident: It is a waste of our life to focus on what you have ________. We should always think of what we have. So why are so many people unhappy? Someone may say, "My whole life would improve ________ I have a new car. "But when you get the car, what will ________? Maybe you are happy for a whole week. And then you will go right back to being unhappy.

Happiness ________ what we have! It' s in our heart. It's a state of mind. Even though you own the whole word, you may feel unhappy. Happiness comes from mastering the art of appreciating (感激)and taking pleasure in what you really have.
