A
As I walked along the city streets, I passed a young man who was searching through a small block of land that contained a mix of leaves and rubbish. I was somewhat puzzled why someone like him would be searching through rubbish. Finding this a little odd,_I asked him, “What are you searching for？”He replied very simply that he was looking for bills of money.
After talking with him for a little longer, I found out that he had become homeless just three months ago after getting laid off from his job. Since then, he had been working part-time jobs in a doctor's office and in a food bank to earn some money. But he made so little that he lost heart. The man seemed fairly talented, although a little dirty.
I offered him a freshly baked peanut cake that I had baked that day. His eyes lit up, and he eagerly jumped at my offer. He immediately took the cake with his dirty hands and quickly began eating the treat on the spot.
I told him that our thought created our reality, and suggested that he not give up and think in a positive way. I also said that he was young and everything was possible. As he chewed the cake, what I said seemed to have an effect on him, and he told me that he would cheer up and try to find a good job.
My sense told me that he might begin to see things a little differently from then on. While walking away, I was thinking of a man eating a cake packed with potential (潜能) of raising his confidence. And so it was!

B
Have you ever complained why life is so tiring? Does the sky sometimes seem dark to you? Are your studies sometimes not successful? Well, friends, cheer up and smile all the time. If you see the world with your warm heart, you'll find that the whole world smiles to you.
While in school, sometimes you are tired of your lessons, but have you ever noticed the happy smile on your teacher's face when you did a good job?
One day it is fine. Just before you go out, it suddenly starts to rain. Maybe you would feel very sad and start to complain about the weather. But friends, why don't you sit down and listen to the free concerts that the nature offers you? And with the timely (及时的) rain, crops in the fields will grow better and better and farmers will have a good harvest.
Although everyone wants to succeed in what he tries to do, sometimes failure can't be avoided. I think failure is not terrible, and the terrible thing is that we are afraid of it and give up hope. When we face failure, we must be confident (自信的) in ourselves, draw a useful lesson from it and try our best to finish what we have decided to do. As a popular saying goes, “Failure is the mother of success”．
Attitude decides everything. With an optimistic (乐观的) attitude life is easy and pleasant. Let's smile to whatever we meet and the whole world will smile to us.
