【推荐2】What would you be like if tomorrow was the entrance exam to senior high school? Peaceful and happy as usual? Or, would you become worried and uneasy?
“I was surprised at how I could get angry so easily with my parents before a big exam.” said Junior 3 student Wang Yangqian from Hefei. “ I couldn’t fall asleep even after I’d been in bed for two hours.”
Not only exams but also other things, like a big game, can make you different from how you are usually.
You may act differently because you are stressed out. Stress is what you feel when you are worried or uncomfortable about something. Usually your hands get wet and your heart beats faster. You feel stressed because you might ask too much of yourself sometimes. Or, your parents, teachers or classmates put too much pressure on you. This can make you worried. But being stressed is not always a big problem. Everybody, even sports stars, can get a little worried before a big game.
Some kinds of stress are good. Good stress might show up when you’re called on in class or when you have to give a report. This kind of stress can help you get things done well. You may do a better job in your book report if the anxiety pushes you to do more work before you read it to the class.
Sometimes stress can turn into something bad if you keep having stressful feelings for a long time. This kind of stress isn’t going to help you. It can make you sick. You may have trouble paying attention at school and forget things easily.
So, remember to stay relaxed. It won’t be the end of the world, even if you don’t pass the exam.

But there's a saying that the good is the enemy of the best. I finally realized this one day, and began making my best life. I changed doctors and tried a new way that could relieve(减轻) my symptoms (症状) , rather than just making them easier to deal with. I started talking more with my husband and listening to what he had to say. And I quit(辞掉) my job and started working for myself.
I have the best life I've ever had. I'd call it great. It is possible there's a better life for me, which would then be my "best life" , but for now I don't think so. I've started a business I love. My husband and kids are wonderful. I have a good friend and I'm close to my older sister who lives in town. Could it get better? I suppose so. But for me I think this is the best life I can have right now.
Think more about your life. Where are you living? Are you in a job you just don't mind? What makes your life "good" ? Why isn't it great? What's the enemy of the best and what can you do about it?
Enjoy your best life. We're only here for a short while, and we all need to have the best possible time we can. It's like going to Disney World. If you spend too much time standing in line waiting for the ride, pretty soon your time's up. Get out of the "good" line and have your best life.
