What's the
most important thing for you in your life? Some say hard-work and others say
knowledge, love and luck.
There are
26 English letters. If you arrange them alphabetically (按字母表的顺序)and use numbers to
represent (代表)each of them, for example,1 for a,2 for b, 3 for c,…you can change an English word into a number. So hard-work becomes
8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11=98, and meaning 98 is its mark; knowledge: 11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5=96,
while love: 12+15+22+5=54, and luck: 12+21+3+11=47, a small mark. None of these
words can give us a foil mark.
What about
money? It can't either. Money is only 72. Then what else? Don't worry. You can
always find an answer to a problem, when you change your way of looking at
things or doing things, or your attitude (态度). Yes, attitude is the word. See for yourself: attitude: 1+20+20+
9+20+21+4+5=100, a foil mark. Different attitudes lead to different kinds of
life. Most times people hope for a better life. It's possible that one will
have a change for the better after one has changed his / her attitude. When you
change yourself and become friendly to others, you'll meet more smiling faces
to you.
