     What's the most important thing for you to have in your life? Somebody mentions hard-work, others
suggest knowledge, love and luck.
     If you arrange the 26 English letters alphabetically (按字母表的順序) and use numbers to represent
each of them, for example, 1 for a, 2 for b, 3 for c…, you can change an English word into a number.
So hard-work becomes 8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11=98, meaning 98 is its mark; knowledge: 11+14+15+23+
12+5+4+7+5=96, while love: 12+15+22+5=54, and luck: 12+21+3+11=47, a small mark. None of these
words can give one a full mark. What about money or prayer (祈禱)? They can't, either.
     Then what else? Don't be worried. You can always find an answer to a problem in your life, when you
change your way of looking at things or doing things, or your attitude (態(tài)度). Yes, attitude is the word. See
for yourself: attitude: 1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5=100, a full mark.
     Different attitudes lead to different courses of life. Most times people hope for a better life. It is possible
that one will have a change for the better after one has changed one's attitude.
     When you change your manner and became friendly towards others, you'll meet more smiling faces
towards you. In the same way, if you take a positive (積極地) attitude towards failure (失敗), you'll find it's
also rewarding though it has caused you losses.

     It's only $79.99! How many times have you heard those words on TV or read them in a newspaper ad?
The word "only" is supposed to make you think that this is a great price for the product.
     But think about this how long does it take you to earn $79. 99? What do you have to do to get that money?
The little thing that's only $79.99 is worth almost 12 hours of your work! And if you are making less than this,
how long will it take to earn that much money?
     So as you stand in a store, telling yourself that you have to buy something, think about how long you must
work to earn the money to pay for it. Is that $85 T-shirt really worth the time to earn $85? You could probably
find a similar shirt at another store for under $35, right?
     Even if your parents are still buying your clothes, someone has to work for the money. If you spend money
on one thing, you don't have money to spend on anything else. So if you spend $85 on those jeans, you cannot
put it in the bank, and you cannot go snowboarding (單板滑雪) or to the movies with friends because you don't
have the money to go.
