When I got up this morning, I was so surprised to find a new watch on my desk. I couldn’t help crying.

I lost my old watch last Monday. It was a present from my father for my thirteenth birthday. I still don’t know where or how I lost it.

I felt really sad when I couldn’t find the watch. I stayed at school to look for it until very late.

When I came home, no one was there. At nine o’clock, Mom called back and told me that Dad was hit by a car on his way to look for me. He was sent to the hospital.

I went to the hospital that night and told Dad I was sorry. I also told him I lost my watch, but he did not get angry.

Dad’s left leg was badly hurt, and he stayed in the hospital for several days. He just came back home yesterday, and this morning I found the new watch.

Thank you, Dad, for loving me so much.

Dear Donna, Help! I’m a 15-year-old high school student in New York. In eight months, I’m going to take an important exam. To prepare for it, I’m studying ten hours a day. I want to do well, but I’m really stressed these days. I can’t sleep. What can I do? Yours, Mary

Dear Mary, Many students around the world have the same problem as you. Here is some advice to help you. Good luck! 1. Make a study plan for yourself, but don’t study too much in one day. You can remember more by studying one hour each day for ten days, than ten hours in one day. Also, don’t study late at night. 2. Have a rest for 15 to 20 minutes every two hours. Go outside and walk. Doing exercise is a great way to reduce stress. 3. Don’t eat a lot of sugar or drink a lot of coffee. Eat foods high in Vitamin (维生素) B (for example, eggs, milk, green vegetables, and rice). These give you energy and help you think more clearly. 4. A study partner can help you practice for the test. When you are worried about the exam, you can talk to your partner. This can reduce stress, too. Yours, Donna

Have you ever been sad because you failed in something? If so, please remember, for often, achieving what you expect not the most important thing. Here is a story to tell you why.

One day, a little boy, Paul decided to dig a hole behind his house after watching a science program. As Paul was working, a couple of boys stopped by to watch. “What are you doing?” asked one of the visitors. “I want to dig a deep hole all the way through the earth!” Paul answered excitedly. The other boys began to laugh, telling him that it was impossible to do it. Then they left.

But Paul kept on digging and digging. Suddenly, a few small colorful stones caught his eyes. He collected them and put them into a glass jar patiently. Humming a song, he went on digging. The jar was full soon. Then Paul talked to himself calmly and proudly “Maybe I can’t finish digging all the way through the earth, but look at what I have in the process of digging!”

Maybe Paul’s goal was too difficult, but it did cause him to go on.

Not every goal will be achieved. Not every job will end up with a success. Not every dream will come true. But when you can’t achieve your goal, maybe you can say “Yes, but look at what I’ve found along the way! There are so many wonderful things that have come into my life because I tried to do something!” It is in the digging that life is lived. It is the unexpected joy on the journey that really has a meaning.
