What does it take to become famous? Talent in singing, dancing or acting? Or simply good looks? These days, it seems like a pretty face, a lot of make-up and tons of money spent on marketing can make anyone a popular star. But,     1    , an honest smile and a hard-working attitude might take you quite far.

Recently, a Tibetan young man named Tamdrin, or “Ding Zhen” in Mandarin, has gained a    2     online following since a video clip featuring him went viral on the Internet. It shows him slowly walking towards the camera, with towering snow-capped mountains in the background. His suntanned skin and messy hair, together with a bright smile that gradually spreads over his face, give the young man a “wild and ruggedly handsome” appearance. Netizens see him as refreshingly different from most young male celebrities in China today. Though his rise to    3     has been very much accidental, Tamdrin has since been contacted by both the local tourism department, which has offered him a(n)    4     as a tourism ambassador(大使), and many production companies. However, when asked about his own dreams, the20-year-old said that he wanted to be a “horse-racing prince”, a(n)    5     which has been applauded by many.

Fame can be gone in no time. Every day someone on the Internet can do something that makes them     6     famous. Talent agencies across Asia are churning out(大量生产)new boy bands and girl groups as if from factory production lines. They follow the latest trends,     7     in very similar ways, and take part in the same type of variety show—all for the chance to gain fame and fortune. A few years down the line, or perhaps even only a few months later, the majority of these individuals or groups will end up forgotten.

Everyone is born     8     . We like different things, have different personalities, and pursue different dreams. That is what makes life so dynamic(有活力的) and interesting. Should Tamdrin choose to take one of those offers from the production companies and try to become a celebrity, he might just end up     9     from our memories under heavy make-up and uniform dance moves. Of course, it’s entirely possible that his fame will decline even faster if he stays home and continues to race horses. But at least then he will be able to follow his heart to do what he wants (and maybe earn some fans along the way) instead of choosing to pursue fame and, in the end, lose himself. If you were in his    10    , what would you do?

Happiness, according to the Oxford English dictionary, is based on luck or good fortune. Joy on the other hand, is described as a vivid emotion of pleasure. Thus, happiness depends on     1    ; joy, on our emotional well-being.

If you know joyful people, you will probably notice common traits among them. Joyful people are often healthy, both     2     and mentally; they value strong     3     relationships, and they don’t allow the extremes of life -- sudden highs or sudden lows -- to     4     them too much. Joyful people lead a more stable life. But these abilities do not just arrive; they have to be worked at.

Teaching ourselves to be joyful may be one of the greatest things we can do to enhance our     5     health. However, it is important to understand that joy is an emotion that arises from within us and is not     6     by the things that happen to us. Instead of looking for external things to provide happiness in our lives, we must     7     to find the joy within. We must educate ourselves about joy and work to enhance it in our lives. One way to start is to make a     8     to wake up every morning and find joy in our lives. Think about a special person or a     9     pet. It is our choice to be joyful or fearful. Let’s take the time to train ourselves to be    10     -- our lives will be both happier and healthier for it.
