After several months had gone by,I began to notice that her window was dirty.Everything was unclear through the dirty window.I would say to myself,"I wonder why that woman doesn't wash her window.It really looks terrible."

Money can make you happy,only if you spend it in a clever way.

Buying a new car makes you happy.However,you will forget this happy feeling when the car gets old.But if you spend a week traveling.It's more possible that you'll remember the great experience,and you'll remember the feeling for a long time.A new study has found that spending money on experiences makes people happier than on material things.

   For material things,it's possible that you'll care about every little things.If you buy a nice pen,and someone else buys one with less money,it is possible that you may be unhappy because you spend more money.When it comes to experiences like trips,you won't think like that.If the experience is generally good,you will be happy with the price.

A river was running happily in the hill, the valley(山谷) and the field. Soon it was stopped by a huge rock and the river was a little afraid and worried what it could do.

The rock said, "Hi, baby!Where are you going?"

The river answered, "I'm going to the sea. My mother is waiting for me."

The rock made fun of the river and said, "You're too young. Go back to the hill at once. You can't get there. Don't come back here again!"

The river was surprised to hear that and said, "I can only go forwards(向前).There's no river that goes backwards(向后)!"
