Question

【題目】 The way we spend our time can be divided into three "bottles". These are the Necessary Tasks Bottle, the Voluntary Tasks Bottle and the Happiness Bottle.

Every day, we spend time filling the Necessary Tasks Bottle with useful things, like making money, doing housework, buying food and paying bills. We then fill another bottle with Voluntary Tasks. These are things that we do for others, we may not enjoy, but we do them anyway This bottle gets filled with tasks like taking children to activities, cooking family meals, and washing clothes for family members, Those bottles are very important if we don't fill them each day.

However, we often forget to fill the third bottle-the Happiness Bottle. This is the bottle that we fill with activities that make us happy. Is your Happiness Bottle sometimes empty at the end of the day? Between doing all the Necessary and Voluntary Tasks, time flies by, and before we know it. it is time for bed. We all have days like that.

This is why each day we have to make an effort(努力) to fill our Happiness Bottle. Most days, I fill mine by going to the dancing class. And I always leave classes more happily than when I enter. This week, I had the pleasure of taking part in a guitar practice in my neighborhood. We show our musical talent and practice music for charity(慈善) It was a time of fun, friendship and music-making. At the end of the evening, my Happiness Bottle was filled to top.

The challenge(挑戰(zhàn))for each of us is to not let the day go by without filling our Happiness Bottle. That takes some planning. Many of us probably need to pencil happiness activities into our schedule(日程表) Or, we will fill our schedule with those Necessary and Voluntary Tasks.
