I may not be the wisest person on this planet,but I will tell you a little secret of happiness：help others,and live life. It is that sim?ple. Just help a friend study for a test,or volunteer at a nursing home. I learned this after a long,hard search.
I was feeling really down because my longtime friend had died. Then I started a sixweek volunteering at a nursing home all day every Saturday. My routine was to serve the meal and clean up. After that,I would wait for the head nurse to tell me what to do.
One day I was told to go to Room 117 to make sure the patient was all right. In the room I found a boy of eight sitting in his bed watching a movie. I was shocked to see a child in this seemingly forgotten nursing home for the old. He was so small and weak that you had to look closely to find him. He motioned for me to sit down. I grabbed his medical chart from which later I found out he had a terminal illness.
We started to talk,and I found out that his family rarely visited,and all he did every day was watch TV. I wanted to cry for him,and for my lost friend. As we talked,he had a smile on his face,and I asked him why.
"In the entire two hours I've been here you've never lost that smile. With this horrible disease,how do you still manage to stay happy?"
He thought for a moment,and then said that too many people are dead even before they die. They walk around feeling that God has cursed (詛咒) them and that they have nothing to live for. The boy said that he would not be like that. He wakes every morning thankful to see another sunrise. He keeps his window open so that he can smell the flowers and feel the heat of the sun. He also said that he has hope.
"Too many people haven't seen much of that around here," he said. "Life is full of hope and we need to live life before it is gone."
I don't know what happened to him. I assume he passed away,but his lesson lives on. I now wake up and live each day to the fullest. The key to life is not mon?ey or fame,but the lessons we learn from it.

How to be a good tourist We travel for work but also for fun and learning. New restaurants,galleries,temples and new architecture-" These places are homes for people like us who live and work there. How would you want visitors to behave in your own home? Think about it. 19. There are many ways of doing this without sacrificing our own holiday.
Do your homework. 20. Guides will help you when you get to the site,but is that the best place to go? Is it popular only because the oneday tourists can see it easily or because it is really a worthwhile place to visit? You'd better check it out.
21. Don't go to your hotels for meals.
Walk around,even if in the streets closest to your hotels. Eat in local restaurants. Talk to the locals. Learn some of the local language and use them. You will surely get a smile from the hotel staff and street sellers.
Help preserve the sites. Most of the sites you visit may be visited by millions of people a year,so care needs to be taken to allow others to enjoy them as well. Son^e of these monuments are so old and fragile that they are sensitive to the touch of hands or bags. 22. This way,you don't encourage the use of those plastic bags that fly all over many sites.
