A
A young lady was driving a family car home with her father when they were caught in a heavy storm. The young lady was a little afraid and asked her father, “What should I do, stop or keep driving?”
Her father said, “Keep driving”.
After driving a few kilometers, the storm was becoming heavier and heavier. The young lady noticed that some cars and big transport trucks were pulling over (靠边停) to the side of the road. The young lady asked her father again if they should stop. But her father said nothing. So, she had to keep on driving.
Ten minutes later, the storm started to become small and she could see a little more clearly. After a couple of kilometers, she drove out of the storm. Moreover, the sun came out and the road ahead was dry.
Her father told her to stop and get out of the car.
“But why now, Father?” she asked in surprise.
Her father said, “When you get out, you can look back at all the people in cars and big trucks that gave up and they are still in the storm. Now, your storm is over because you didn't give up.”
Don't give up, even if the stronger do. If you keep going, soon your “personal storms” will be over. The sun will shine on you again and the road ahead will be dry and clear.

There was once an old and deep well. People got water by dropping a bucket(木桶) tied to a rope. The rope passed over a wheel just above the well. On the other side of the rope was another bucket.
A strong pull brought one bucket to the top while the other down to the water. They always passed each other on the way up and down, but never had time to speak.
At last, the rope became worn. So a new rope had to be put in its place. While this was being done, the two buckets were left standing together near the well.
“What a boring life we have!” said one bucket to the other. “I am quite tired of it. No matter how full we come up, we are always sent down empty.”
But the other bucket laughed and said, “What a funny way you have of looking at things! Don't you see that whenever we are sent down empty, we always come up full?”
Boys and girls sometimes talk like these two buckets. You may hear one of them say, “Just as we are having a good game,we are made to stop and go to work again.” “Yes,” the other will reply, “but as soon as work is over, we always get to go out and have fun again.”
There are two ways of looking at things. If you want to be happy, look at the bright side.
