The book tells us that when facing changes in our lives, like a new school or new friends, don’t be afraid.【2】The book gives an example of a change at school. A school is changing from having two terms to three terms because there are too many students. Several teenagers are talking about this. Most of them are unhappy and worried. But Chris laughs and tells a story about two mice, two little people and some cheese.
The four are in a maze (迷宫) looking for the cheese. Here, cheese means something important in life, like moving to a new class or getting into college.【3】The mice realize that they can’t change what has happened and have to find more cheese.

22、Even the hardest days contain lessons that will help you be a better person. Feeling down? Consider these things to remember when you’re having a bad day.
No one promised life would be perfect. If you look for perfection, you’ll never be content. Don’t build your happiness on meeting every expectation you set for yourself. It is good to be ambitious, but you’ll never be perfect. If you anticipate otherwise, your life will be crammed with disappointments.
Success doesn’t happen overnight. Trees that are slow to grow bear the best fruit. Don’t kid yourself that success will come quickly. It isn’t easy to be patient, but anything worth doing requires time. If you get frustrated, remind yourself why your goal is important.
There is a lesson in every struggle. And once the storm is over, you won’t remember how you made it through or how you managed to survive. But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm, you won’t be the same person who walked in. That’s what this storm’s all about. Don’t complain about how terrible your life is. If you search for the lesson in your present struggle, you’ll be able to make positive changes that would prevent similar situations in the future.
Without hard times, you wouldn’t appreciate the good ones. Strength does not come from winning. Your struggles develop your strength. When you go through hardships and decide not to give in, that is strength. It is hard to find much to smile at when you fail, but how else would you improve yourself?If you look at failure as a part of your evolutionary process, you’ll not be pessimistic but pursue your goals for as long as it takes.
