Mike was the kind of guy you love to hate. He was always happy and always had something interesting to say. If someone asked him how he was doing, he would reply, “Couldn’t be better!” He was really a care-free young man and never felt tired.
Mike used to say, “Each morning I wake up and say to myself, ‘Mike, you have two choices(选择) today. You can choose to be happy or you can choose to be upset.’ I choose to be happy. Each time something happens, I am always ready to learn a good lesson. I choose to learn from life.”
I tried to understand what he said. Indeed life is all about choices. Every situation is a choice. The bottom line is: You’re living your life and you make it either happy or sad.
Several years later I had a car accident and my legs were seriously injured. When I was lying on the ground, I remembered that I had two choices: I could choose to live or choose to die. I chose to live.
People like to say, “Choose the one you love and love the one you choose.” Why not choose the one we love and live happily?

Once upon a time, there was an island where all the feelings lived: Happiness, Sadness, Knowledge, and all the others, including Love. One day it was told to the feelings that the island would sink(沉没), so they all repaired their boat and left.
Love deeply loved this island and it contained all her emotions(情感). So she wanted to stay until the last possible moment.
When the island was almost sinking, Love decided to ask for help. Richness was passing by Love in a large boat. Love said, "Richness, can you take me with you?" Richness answered, "No, I can't. There is a lot of gold and silver in my boat. There is no place here for you."
Love decided to ask Vanity(虚荣) who was also passing by in a beautiful vessel(船). "Vanity, please help me!" "I can't help you, Love. You are all wet and might damage my boat," Vanity answered.
Sadness was close by, so Love asked for help, but Sadness said "Oh , Love, I am so sad that I need to be by myself!"
Happiness passed by Love, too, But she was so happy that she did not even hear when Love called her!
Suddenly, there was a voice, "Come, Love, I will take you." It was an elder. Loved left so happily that she even forgot to ask the elder his name. When they arrived at the dry land, the elder went his own way.
Love realized how much she got from the elder and asked Knowledge, another elder, "Who Helped me?" "It was Time," Knowledge answered.
"Time?" asked Love. "But why did Time help me?" Knowledge smiled with deep wisdom and answered, "Because only Time is deeply understanding how great Love is."

A long time ago in China lived the Jade Emperor(玉皇大帝). It was his birthday. All the animals arrived. The Emperor decided to have a race to give a name to each year of the Chinese Zodiac(生肖)。
The rat and the cat couldn’t swim very well.
“Can you take us across the river ?” they ask ox.
“Yes, jump and quick!”
Ox swam across the river. Then the rat pushed the cat into the water and jumped onto land.
“Well done, Rat! The first year will be Year of the Rat and the second will be the Year of the Ox.”
“Look! Here’s the tiger. He’s very tired. The third year will be the Year of the Tiger.”
“The rabbit can’t swim but he’s very clever. The fourth year will be the Year of the Rabbit.”
“Why are you late, Dragon? You can fly!”
“I had to make some rain for thirsty people to drink.”
“Well done! The fifth year is the Year of the Dragon.”
“What’s this? I can hear a horse. No, it’s a snake. So the snake has the sixth year.”
“Well done! It is good to see you working together! The goat is the eighth, the monkey is the ninth and the rooster is the tenth.”
“sorry I’m late. The water is clean and I needed a bath.”
“The eleventh is the Year of the Dog.”
“You are the last.”
“Yes, I had to eat and sleep on the way.”
“The last is the Year of the pig.”
And that is how the Emperor chose the animals for Chinese Zodiac.
