Smilesand theW orld Smilesto You

Have you ever complain why life is so tiring？ Does the sky sometimes seem dark to you？ Are your studies sometimes not successful？ Well， friends， cheer up and smile all the same. If you see the world with your warm heart， you'll find the whole world smiles to you.

While in school， sometimes you are tired of your lessons， but have you noticed the happy smile on your teacher’s face when you did a good job？

One day it is fine. Just before you want to go out， it suddenly starts to rain. Maybe you would feel very sad and start complaining about the weather. But dear friends， why don't you sit down and listen to the free concert that the nature offers you？ And with the timely rain， crops in the fields will grow better and farmers will have a good harvest.

Although everyone wants to succeed in what he tries to do， sometimes failure can’t be avoided. I think failure is not terrible， and the terrible thing is that we are afraid of it and give up hope. When we face failure， we must be confident in ourselves， draw a useful lesson from it and try our best to finish what we have decided to do. As a popular saying goes，“Failure is the mother of success.”

Attitude decides everything. With an optimistic attitude life is easy and pleasant. Let’s smile to whatever we meet and the whole world will smile to us.

微笑，世界对你微笑

你抱怨过为什么生活那么累呢？你的天空有时暗淡无光吗？你的功课有时不够好吗？那么，朋友，还是振作精神并微笑以对吧。假如你用温暖的心看世界，就会发现整个世界都在对你微笑。

在学校里有时你厌倦你的功课，但你是否留意过在你表现良好时老师脸上露出的愉悦笑容？

有一天天气很好，你正要出门，却突然下起了雨。也许你会感到很不高兴，并开始抱怨天气。但是亲爱的朋友，为什么不坐下来听一场大自然赐予的免费音乐会呢？而且有了这场及时雨，田里的庄稼会长得更好，农民会有好的收成。

虽然人人都想心想事成，但有时失败不可避免。我想失敗并不可怕，可怕的是我们害怕失败、放弃希望。面对失败时我们必须自信，从中汲取有用的教训，并尽力完成决心要做的事情。正如一句广为流传的俗话所说的那样，“失败是成功之母”。

态度决定一切。有了乐观的态度，生活就会轻松、愉快。无论遇到什么，让我们微笑以对，整个世界也会对我们微笑。
