Passage 1

Being grateful is an important philosophy of life and a great wisdom. It

is impossible for anyone to be lucky and successful all the time so long as he

lives in the world. We should learn how to face failure or misfortune

bravely and generously and to try to deal with it. If so, should we complain

about our life and become frustrated and disappointed ever since then or

should we be grateful for our life, raise again ourselves after a fall? William Thackeray, a famous British writer, said, "Life is a mirror. When you

smile in front of it, it will also smile and so will it when you cry to it. " If

you are grateful to life, it will bring you shining sunlight. If you always complain about everything, you may own nothing in the end. When we are successful, we can surely have many reasons for being grateful, but we

hav.e only one excuse to show ungratefulness if we fail.

I think we should even be grateful to 'J.ife whenever we are unsuccessful or unlucky. Only by doing this can we find our weakness and shortcomings when we fail. We can also get relief and warmth when we are unlucky.

This can help us find our courage to overcome the difficulties we may face,

and receive great impetus to move on. We should treat our frustration and misfortune in our life in the other way. We should be grateful all the time

and keep having a healthy attitude to our life forever, keep having perfect characters and enterprising spirit. Being grateful is not only a kind of comfort, not an escape from life and nor thinking of winning in spirit like

Ah Q. Being grateful is a way to sing for our life which comes just from our love and hope.
