1 . What’s the most important thing for you to have in your life? Somebody says it’s work. Others suggest it’s knowledge, love or luck.
If you put the 26 English letters in order and use numbers to represent（代表）each of them, for example, 1 for a, 2 for b, 3 for c…26 for z, you can change an English word into a number. So work becomes 23+15+18+11=67.67 is its mark. Knowledge: 11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5=96, love: 12+15+22+5=54, and luck: 12+21+3+11=47, a small mark. None of these words can give us 100 marks. What about money? It 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. 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 ways of living a life. Most of the time people hope for a better life. It is possible that we will have a better life if we change our attitudes. When you change your behavior and become friendly to others, you’ll meet more smiling faces to you. In the same way, if you take a positive（积极的）attitude facing failure, you’ll find it’s also helpful to you though it has made you lose something.
