From my father I have learned a lot.And I'm very thankful to him.I remember when I was a child my father always got up very early,quietly putting on his clothes and going off to work.To arrive in time to open his tiny store at 8:30,he needed to leave our apartment at 6:30.After all,he had to take a bus and then the subway.The last journey was a long walk through a neighborhood much of which was full of the smell of rubbish.I learned:it is very important to work.No excuse.
When I was 12,I would,on some Saturdays,go to my father's store to help out.After helping set up the outside clothing display,for the rest of the day,I'd watch to make sure no one stole anything.When I noticed someone looking unusual or strange,I would look the person in the eye,smile and say, "May I help you?" Usually that worked,but sometimes,someone would run off with something.The first time,I ran after the thief but my father shouted, "Martin,stop!There is no need to do that." It's true that safety is more important than money.
After 10 years of hard work,he saved up enough money to buy his first car,a cheap one-he wouldn't buy one until he could afford to pay for it without borrowing money.I learned:buy only
what you can afford.Buying necessary food and clothing won't make us go in debt(債務(wù)).The
unnecessary things won't give us happiness,which comes from achievement only.

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.
