While writing this book, 1 once asked an expert how he kept from worrying. He replied,"I have always tried to follow the advice: when you have a lemon, make a lemonade(柠檬汁)."

That is what a wise man does. But the fool does just the opposite. If he finds that life has given him a "lemon", he gives up and says,"I'm beaten. I haven't got a chance."Then he starts to develop a sense of self-pity.But when the wise man is handed a"lemon", he says,"What lesson can I learn from the bad luck? How can I improve my situation? How can I turn this lemon into a lemonade?"

Here is an interesting story of a woman who did just that. Her name is Thelma."During the war,"she told me about her experience,"my husband was sent to an Army training camp near the Mojave Desert. I went there to live with him. But I hated the place. I had never felt so terrible before. My husband was ordered out for training,so I was left alone most of the time. Not a friend to talk to but only the local people who couldn't speak English.The wind never stopped blowing. All the food I ate and the air I breathed were filled with sand, sand, sand! I was so sorry for myself that I wrote to my parents. I said I couldn't stand it one minute longer. My father answered my letter with just two lines ——two lines that completely changed my life:

Two men looked out from prison bars(监狱铁窗).

One saw the mud(烂泥), the other saw stars.

I read those two lines over and over. I was ashamed of myself. I made up my mind I would find out what was good in my present situation. I would look for the stars."
