(A “good heart” refers to the good nat ure of a person, which involves the aspects as follows: To begin with, he is kind with the people around him, thinking as much of others as of himself. Besides, he is honest in dealing with any affairs. He has a strong sense of what is right and wrong. And best of all, he is ready to help when someone is in trouble or in need of his help. In our peacetime, having a good heart also involves much devotion to others. With a good heart, you don’t remain indifferent at the sight of others’ sufferings. You may of fer all kinds of help to those in trouble or in danger. With a good heart, you can not tolerate the spread of bad social practices. You have the courage to do whatever is right. With a good heart, you give more thought to others than to yourself and find excellence in others. And still with a good heart, you give more to others than take from others. In sum, having a good heart not only adds joy to others’ life but also brings virtue to society.)

3) We must refine our taste for life by taking part in healthy activities, such as extensive reading, body building, and online surfing.)
