I was on the escalator in a market．There was an old man who was about five or six people in the front of me．People behind him were all in a hurry and saw him as a rock．The old man knew these clearly and tried hard to step aside．
I remember…Sometimes when walking or driving behind an older person，I've gotten impatient and upset．
"I'm sorry．Please forgive me!"said the old man，"I don't mean to hold you up．"He then tried his best to get off the escalator．
I suddenly saw this in a whole new light．I felt sick to my stomach．The old man was apologizing to everyone，when we should have helped him to calm his fears．
One by one，people went around him quickly．By the time I got to him，I asked，"Sir，can I help you？"
The man thought for a while，then said，"Well，yes，thank you!"
I placed my hand under his left arm and walked away from the rush of people quickly．
"So what are you shopping for，sir？"
"Oh，today is Mother's Day．I want to buy something for my neighbor．She's a single mother and she is always so nice to me．"he said，stopping suddenly as he searched his pocket．
"Oh，it's here!I always carry them with me，"he said．Then he took out some business cards and handed me one which read：
"John Smith．
Friend to all…enemy to no one!
I said a prayer（祈禱）today and you were the answer．
Thank you!"
"That's for you，"he said．"Thanks for stopping to help an old man．"
"My friend，you helped me．I discovered why I was unhappy with the world．Now I know how to solve the problem．No more with me!"

1．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.

3．A girl was working as a nurse in a private hospital．One day，a patient with serious disease was brought to the hospital ，but had to be transferred （轉(zhuǎn)移） to another hospital at once for an operation（ 手術(shù)）．However，the director of the hospital said the patient couldn't be transferred unless he paid his bill first．The patient's family was very poor．They had no choice but to ask if they could pay the bill after the operation because the patient was close to death．But their request was refused．
