One of the best ways to solve problems is to have the right attitude(态度). We should face them when we have problems. You may think that successful people and rich people have fewer problems than you.

Many people like to travel by train. But sometimes train tickets can be very expensive. A young man recently tried to show that. His name is Tom Church. Instead of taking the train, he bought a car and paid for petrol, insurance and road tax (汽油、保险和道路税). What was the result? He spent less than his train ticket!
Tom Church was a 27-year-old man from London. He wanted to visit a friend in Bristol. But when he got to the train station, he found that the train ticket cost too much. So he gave up the train trip and decided to buy an old car. It would be cheaper.
Tom Church said, “It's a very old car, but it is fine and runs fast. And the engine (发动机) is so small that I could get the cheapest road tax. The cost is ￡206.81. It is less than just one train ticket. And I still have a car at the end of it!”The car itself cost just ￡80, but road tax cost ￡81.38. It seems funny. The insurance cost ￡20.43, and the rest (剩下的) was for petrol.
