We all have problems. If we can’t deal with our problems, we will become unhappy easily.
Worry about our problems can affect what we do at school. It can also influence the way we get along with our families at home. Here are some ways to deal with our problems.
l By learning to forget.
Most of us have probably been angry with our friends, parents or teachers. Perhaps they said something you didn’t like, or you felt they were about a small problem. When we are angry, we are usually the ones affected. However, this usually does not last for long. We can solve a problem by learning to forget.
l By regarding problems as challenges
Many students often complain(抱怨) about school. They might feel they have too much work to do or think the rules are too strict. We must learn how to change these “problems” into “challenges”. As young people , it is our duty to try to deal with each challenge in our education with the help of our teachers.
l By thinking of something worse
By comparing (比较)yourself to other people, you will find your problems are not so terrible. Think about Stephen Hawking, a very clever scientist.

While he was driving, he was drinking a bottle of cola and eating a sandwich. While the man was driving through the crossing, the woman in the sports car didn’t stop at the traffic lights.

For international travelers, the lessons are the greatest. Taking that first step to cross the ocean by plane or boat is an adventure（冒险）. It teaches people to expand their horizons(拓宽视野) and it enables people to go beyond one land, one country, and one set way of thinking and doing things.

Fashion, art, science, transportation, religion, geography, geology and social studies are all areas of learning outside of the books when traveling abroad.
