(2015·河北正定中学月考)Although problems are a part of our lives，it certainly doesn't mean that we let them rule our lives forever.One day or the other，you'll have to stand up and say—problem，I don't want you in my life.

Don't lose faith and hope.No matter what you lose in life，don't lose faith and hope.Even if you lose all your money，family...you should still have faith. 4

Your problems aren't the worst.No matter what problem you get in life，there're another one million people whose problems are huger than yours. 5 Your problems might just seem big and worse，but in reality they can be removed.

Three Critical Truths We Forget All Too Soon

So much happens in our lives every day that we often forget what we have learned.In effect，the only thing faster than the speed of our thoughts is the speed of our forgetfulness 1 1.Small steps get you to big places.

The greatest of all mistakes is to do nothing simply because you can only do a little.In fact，it is far more productive to take many small steps in the right direction than to make a giant leap. 2 Figure out where you want to go，take a step，and keep on stepping.Diligence and persistence will get you there. 2. 3

Two people can be affected by the same circumstance but respond in completely different ways.The reason is that it just depends on their attitudes.When you expect life to be unkind，it will always live up to your expectations.On the other hand，when you consider yourself to be in a fortunate situation，you will find yourself in many more. 4

3.You can only change yourself.

Don't wait for someone who hurt you to make it up to you；this kind of thinking only keeps your old wounds from healing. 5 You have no control over them，and they may never change.Inner peace is found by changing your thinking，not the people who hurt you.So forgive those who have hurt you in the past，and even more importantly，forgive yourself for allowing them to hurt you.Then smile like you've never cried re－open your heart and mind like you've never been hurt，and live the rest of your life like you're running out of time. A.Fear always exists.

B.Attitude makes all the difference.

C.Waiting for them to change is not the answer. D.Here are some important reminders to jog your memory.

E.The path to every goal requires a hundred small steps—one after the other.

F.In the end，we learn even more from our failures than we do from our successes. G.It's important to remember that there is value in every situation and circumstance.

A guide map.Make a guide map about the places to visit，expenses of travel and the activities to try.While planning you should also estimate(估计) your total expenses.Calculate the maximum amount and try to spend less than that. 5 Refer to the guide map while traveling and follow the money－saving travel tips as much

as possible. A.Reduce shopping. B.Off season travel.

C.You must keep yourself updated with such offers.
