21、The year 2016 marks my second time saying farewell to full-time motherhood and back to "normal". It's a year with Nicole, my lovely and naughty 4-year-old daughter. As a family with both parents doing scientific research and making a life from academic work, this year was particularly full of changes for us.
In the first half of the year, I took a Deutsch class, trying to catch up with Nicole's language level and to adapt myself to the German-speaking environment faster and better. Then, one day in September, my husband said that I could take a break or even stop my language course, because he would get a higher position, half a year later. But it would be somewhere else, not here.
It was really a piece of good news for his career, but not for me. I was actually filled with various feelings. I became homesick immediately. What a pity I have to leave again! The house is now well-decorated, and even a small hanging on the wall records a very happy moment from our life here. I've accepted here as my second home. Nicole was born here and has been growing up happily. Both adults and the child have their own circle of friends and have built up their social network. And now we have to say goodbye.
But this is life, and this is reality. Life is full of changes and challenges which we really enjoy. It’s like a long journey with the unknown destination yet. Every city we have lived represents a special stage of our life. People come and people go. Some become our life-long friends, and some we will never meet again.

23、Have you ever noticed that the more you have the more you want? Let’s face it. Thinking our life is good enough doesn’t come naturally to many people. When we have high expectations of everything in life we will run into disappointment. Only when we are aware that needs are different from desires can we live with satisfaction. Here are a few ideas to help you be happier with what you have and who you are.
Focus on what you are thankful for. Most people want things to be better than they are, or when things are going well, we forget to appreciate what we have. Learn to reflect on how much better things are than they could be. Focus on what you are thankful for. Write down 5 things you are grateful for right now.
When we hold onto regrets from decisions we have made, it can really poison our well-being. Many people regret something they can no longer change, which ends up holding them back from moving forward in a more positive manner. What happened in the past is done and gone, so work to stay present and be mindful of the current moment to find more joy and fulfillment.
When we use other people as the measuring stick for our personal success and quality of life we are likely to be less satisfied. Social comparisons can provide useful information when we try to learn from others, but they also hold our perspective in a discontented position. Compare yourself less with others so you can be satisfied more.
When you are focused on your big ambitions and future goals you might elide the daily pleasures that surround you. Learn to slow down and absorb the wonder and beauty around you. Stay present and focus on the task you’re undertaking at the moment. Don’t let the life pass you by because you’re always on the go and distracted by ambition.
Practice looking at life through the lens of contentment and it will become more natural.
【1】How can we live with contentment?
A. To change our lifestyle.

A. Make time for simple pleasures. B. Learn from successful people.
C. Focus on your future goals. D. Create chance to learn more.
