An event changed my life. Our life is so interesting that we will face different types of situations in life. Every situation is an experience for us. Every chance, no matter how small it may be, will provide us with a lesson to learn something if we can keep our mind open for learning. There is an event, which has helped me to always remain happy. I was busy shopping during my Christmas holidays and after picking a couple of things, I was walking down the street. Suddenly I noticed a person crossing the road. This man had no hands and had only one leg. It appeared that it was a result of a terrible accident: he had experienced earlier. What surprised me most was to see a smile on his face. I was wondering how he could smile in such a terrible and painful state. I learnt a lot from him.
Our life is decided by our thoughts. If our attitude towards life is positive (积极的), we will be happy. But when we have a negative (消极的) outlook, our life would be different. Satisfaction brings us pleasure in our life.
