Happiness is for everyone, and you don’t need to care about those people who have beautiful houses with and swimming pools or those who have nice cars a lot of money and so on. Why? Because those who have big houses may often lonely and those who have cars may want to walk on the country roads in their free time.

When you are in at school, your friends will help you; when you study at your lessons, your parents are always good care of your life and your health; when you get , your friends will say congratulations to you; when you do something wrong, people around you will help you to it. And when you do something good to others, you will feel , too. All these are your happiness. If you notice those things, you can see that happiness is always you.
Happiness is not the same as money. It is a feeling of your heart. When you are , you can also say you are very happy because you have something else that can’t be bought with money. When you meet difficulties, you can say loudly you are very happy because you have more chances to yourself. So you cannot always say you are poor or you have bad luck. As the saying goes: Life is like a revolving(转动的)door. When it , it also opens. If you take every chance you get, you can be a happy and lucky person.

My earliest memory of dad is grabbing (抓住) his hand while we walked together. As I older, I remembered my father and I listened to many basketball games on the radio. I always fell asleep the game was over. When I woke up in the morning, the score sheet (计分表) with the score on it would be lying next to me. I’ll always remember that.
On cold mornings my father would drive his bread truck by the house. I used to ride on the floor of that bread truck as he delivered (分送) the bread to the stores. The and the warmth from the bread made me hungry and kept me warm. I’ll always remember that.
My father would attend all my games.

The next day as the game time drew near, I thought about my dad. I happened to look across the field and saw his bread truck pulling into the stadium (体育场). He tried to make the game. I’ll always remember that.
Years later I became a teacher. I’ll never forget the voice on the phone early one morning telling me dad had just been killed in a traffic accident. I could hear my heart beat in my ears. I up the phone and went back to my bedroom. After that nothing was very important to me. One day I was on the playground when a little boy walked up to me and grabbed my hand.
