    Last spring I was walking in a park. In front of me there was a mum and her 3-year-old daughter. The little girl was holding on to a string, which had a balloon at the other end.

    All of a sudden, a sharp gust (一阵风) of wind took the balloon from the little girl. I thought she would scream and cry.

    But, no! As the little girl turned to watch her balloon rise to the sky, she cheerfully shouted out, "Wow!"

    I didn't realize it at that moment. But that little girl taught me something.

    Later that day, I received a phone call from a person with news of a sudden problem. I almost replied with "Oh no, what should we do?" But remembering that little girl, I found myself saying: "Wow, that is interesting! How can I help you?"

    One thing is for sure — life is always going to put us off balance with things we don't expect. But how we act to them is our choice. We can choose to be discouraged or interested.

    No matter what the situation is, a "Wow!" will always beat "Oh, no."

    So next time you meet one of life's unexpected gusts, remember that little girl and make it a "Wow!" experience. It always works.

    Martin Lynch, an American businessman, had been going on holiday to a small Mexican fishing village for a number of years. One morning while going for a walk along the beach, he saw his friend Pablo Perez, a local fisherman. Martin watched Pablo unload(卸货) his boat and pack the fish in a box.

    Martin noticed Pablo was smiling and looked very happy. He could also see several large fish in the boat. Martin greeted Pablo and asked how long it took to catch the fish. "Just a few hours," replied Pablo. Martin asked, "Why didn't you stay longer and catch more fish?" "I have enough for my family," Pablo said. "And what do you do with the rest of your day?" asked Martin. "I take a nap(午睡), play with my children, spend time with my wife, and go into the village to see my friends and play cards, I have a full and busy life." Martin explained that if Pablo worked longer hours and caught more fish, he could make more money. With the extra money, Pablo could buy more boats and catch money more fish. By selling the fish, Pablo could open his own factory and sell direct to supermarkets.

    "Then what?" asked Pablo. "Well you would probably have to move to Mexico City to run the business. Finally, you would be able to sell your business and make millions of dollars," replied Martin. "How long will that take?" asked Pablo. Martin thought for a while and said it would probably take at least 15 years.

    "And then what?" asked Pablo.

    "Well, that's the best part," Martin said. "You will be able to retire(退休), buy a house near the ocean, sleep longer, play with your children, spend more time with your wife, see your friends, and play cards."

One autumn, he promised to help our neighbor, who lost his arms in a traffic accident in 1999, to harvest his rice. After Father harvested our town, his little rice picker broke. What's worse, he had to return to work the next day because his partner was ill in hospital. It meant that Father wouldn't be back in a few days. It now seemed impossible to help out the neighbor.

Father told us that be wouldn't let the neighbor's rice rot( 糜烂) in the field. He decided to harvest it by hand without a machine. “If tonight's weather is clear, I think I can do it." added my father. In fact, he was rather tired after a day's harvest work.

After dinner, Father had a short rest and made his way to the field. A full moon was glowing (发光) in the sky and the weather was cold but clear. He spent the whole night keeping his word.

I would never forget the image(画面)：Father was cutting rice in the light of the harvest moon. Behind him, row after row of rice stocks(秸秆) stood at attention, showing respect for a man who kept his word.
