I remember a psychiatrist (精神病医生) once said that if you ever feel sad, the best thing to do is to do something for someone else because it gets you focused. It’s hard to be unhappy while serving someone else. A byproduct (副产品) of h  81  others is feeling wonderful yourself.
I remember sitting in an airport one day, waiting for my flight. I was e  82  because I had been upgraded (升级) to a first-class ticket. I had the best seat on the plane, seat 1A.

There she was with her baby, both asleep in big and comfortable seat 1A. And I felt like getting a million dollars. I’ve got to keep doing this kind of things.

When I took the first exam, I was shocked to find a 77, C-plus, on my test paper, for English was always my best subject. I went to Professor Jayne, who listened to my   75  but he refused to do anything about it.
I decided to try harder,   76  I didn’t know what that meant because school always seemed easy for me. I read the books more carefully, but got another 77. Again, I reasoned with Professor Jayne. Again, he listened patiently but wouldn’t   77  .
