Sudha Chandran, a famous dancer from India, had to have her right leg cut after a car accident. She was also cut off on her career (事业) road.
Though the accident brought her bright career to a stop, she didn’t give up. In the painful months that followed, Sudha met a doctor who developed a man-made leg for her. So strongly, she wanted to go back to dancing. Sudha believed in herself and she thought she could realize her dream.
After every public recital (个人表演), she would ask her dad about her performance. “You
still have a long way to go” was the answer she used to get in return. In January 1984, Sudha made a historic comeback by giving a public recital in Bombay. She performed in such a great manner that it moved everyone to tears. That evening when she asked her dad the usual question, he didn’t say anything. He just touched her feet as a praise. Sudha’s comeback was so moving that a film producer decided to make the story into a hit film.
When someone asked Sudha how she had managed to dance again, she said quite simply, “YOU DON’T NEED FEET TO DANCE.” Nothing is impossible in this world. If you have the will to win, you can achieve anything.

Most people want to be happy, but few know how to find happiness. Money and success alone do not bring lasting happiness. Aristotle, a Greek thinker, said, “Happiness depends upon ourselves.” In other words, we make our own happiness.
Here are a few suggestions to help you be happier.
The first secret of happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life. Too often, we spend so much time thinking about the future —for example, getting into college or getting a good job —that we fail to enjoy the present. You should enjoy life’s simple pleasures, such as reading a good book, listening to your favorite music, or spending time with close friends. People who have several close friends often live happier and healthier lives.
Another secret to living a happy life is to be active, and have hobbies where you forget your problems and time. Many people experience this dancing, or playing a sport, such as swimming. You can forget about your problems, and only think about the activity.
Finally, many people find happiness in helping others. Studies show that people feel good when they spend their time helping others. If you want to feel happier, do good things for someone. You can help a friend with his or her studies, go shopping to buy food for an elderly person, or simply help out around the house by washing the dishes.

When one door of happiness closes, another opens. However, we often look at the door so long that we can’t see the one that has been opened for us. It’s true that we don’t know we’ve got until we lose it, and it’s also true that we don’t know what we’ve been until it goes away.
Giving someone all your doesn’t mean that they’ll love you back. Don’t expect love in return. Just for it to grow in their hearts.
There are many moments in life when you miss someone so much that you want to bring them into your and hug them for real! Dream what you want to dream, go where you want to go, and what you want to be, you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you want to do.
Happiness lies in those who have cried, those who have been hurt, those who have searched, and those who have tried, for only they can understand the of their lives. The future will always be based on a forgotten past. You can’t go on well in your life until you let your past failure and heartaches go.
