[08:11.13]When we're unhapp,we don't do well at school
[08:16.27]and we make our friends and family unhppy,too.
[08:21.03]What's the best way to deal with life's big and small problems?
[08:26.91]In fact,there are many ways.
[08:31.16]Learn to forget Once,a young boy was angry with his best friend.
[08:38.71]He told his mother,"I'm never going to talk to him again!"
[08:44.77]An hour later,the mother saw the two boys playing.
[08:50.55]She said to her son,"I thought you were angry and would never talk to him again!"
[08:57.70]The boy said,"It's okay.I can forget easily."
[09:03.87]It's easy to be angry but it's often hard to forget.
[09:09.02]Sometimes people stay angry for years about a small problem.
[09:14.89]A friend may say something you don't like.
[09:19.15]You decide not to speak to him or her again.
[09:23.83]Time goes by and soon you have lost a good friend.
[09:29.29]One way to solve these kinds of problems is to tell yourself to forget.
[09:36.05]Your friends are more important than being angry.
[09:41.02]Remember,it's part of your job
[09:45.27]Many students complain about school.
[09:49.53]Sometimes it seems they get too much work,
[09:54.21]or they think that the rules of their schools are wrong.
[09:59.17]At times like this,remember that some problems are part of your job as a student.
[10:06.43]If you are a student,your concern is to learn and show what you learn in tests.
[10:13.59]You may not understand why you should learn something,
[10:18.55]but you should trust the teachers and try your best.
[10:23.41]See it from another person's eyes
[10:27.77]When people do something that makes you angry,try to think why they did it.
[10:34.64]Do they have a problem?Are they angry or unhappy?
[10:40.29]Maybe if you can help them with their problems
[10:44.96]they won't make new problems for you.
[10:49.12]Think of something worse
[10:52.56]Stephen Hawking is a man with many problems.
[10:57.32]He has a disease and he can't do anything about himself.
[11:02.78]He can't walk and he sits in a wheelchair.He must use a computer to speak.
[11:10.15]But he doesn't complain about his problems.
[11:14.30]Instead,he's a famous scientist.He teaches and writes books.
[11:21.38]Some people say he's more brilliant than Albert Einstein.
[11:26.52]You are probably quite healthy and smart.
[11:30.65]Don't worry too much about your problems.
