Graham was one of the wisest friends of mine. Once I complained to him that I cycled two miles from my house to the town centre but u1. there was a big hill on the way. To my surprise, he replied that I should feel lucky and be glad of the e2. exercise the hill provided.

His words shocked me. So almost all of a sudden, my attitude to the hill c3. . The next time when I got close to it,

instead of complaining as usual. I told myself that this hill would help me to keep fit. And the r4. was that I found the way up the hill was much easier that I had expected -- it cost me nothing but some energy and sweat（汗）.

Several days later, I happened to read an article about pilot Douglas Bader. In 1931 both of his legs were lost in a

flying a5., but he decided to fly again and he became an excellent pilot and the only pilot that had no legs. He said, “Don’t tell yourself that things are too difficult or i6.. Make up your mind and then try your best and then you can achieve your goal.”

I think the two cases bring the same message: We cannot a7. difficulties in life, but we can choose our attitude

towards them - to face them or to run away from them. And some difficulties, actually, are not as great as they seem to be.

Can you remember a time when somebody was king to you? Perhaps a person let you go in front of them in a queue. Maybe your sister phoned you to ask how your week was going. Or perhaps a stranger or a friend gave you a hand in a much deeper way. There are a thousand ways to offer kindness. And at a time when the world seems to have so many problem, some people have started to take the issue of kindness very seriously indeed.

Being kind is a win-win situation. It brings happiness to the receiver as well as the person who does the action. As a simple example, let’s imagine you have a workmate who always does a very good job. How about taking a moment to mention this to him? Your workmate will be happy to receive some praise, and you will probably feel good about yourself for having spread a little joy.

Many organizations try to encourage people to do kind acts, wherever and whenever they can. The idea behind this is that it doesn’t take any major plan to be kind. Perhaps the stronger supporters of this idea are the Random Acts of Kindness (RAK) Foundation, who work with schools and companies to teach people kindness skills. They operate under the beliefs that kindness can be taught and that it is contagious（有感染力的）. Their activities range from suggesting kind acts to allowing their website-users to become “RAKtivists” (people who officially register themselves as activists of kindness.)

Apart fro musing your own common sense, the RAK website suggests some more imaginative ways to show kindness. Generally, these fall into three types. The first is interpersonal kindness. Some examples are donating（捐贈）old clothes to charity or writing an advantageous online idea about a restaurant that you like. The second is environmental kindness, which could mean simply recycling or organizing a group event to tidy up a local park or beach. The third type is less clear: personal kindness, which means treating yourself kindly, such as taking a walk in parks, inviting yourself to a big meal or setting yourself a goal to complain less. By being kind to yourself, _______.
