I told my friend Graham that I often cycle the two miles from my house to the town centre but unfortunately there is a big hill on the route. He replied, "You mean fortunately." He explained that I should be glad of the extra exercise that the hill provided.

My attitude to the hill has now changed.   1   This hill will exercise my heart and lungs. It will help me to lose weight and get fit. It will mean that I live longer. This hill is my friend. Finally as I ride my way up the hill, I comfort myself with the thought of all those who pay money to go to a gym and sit on stationery (not moving) exercise bicycles when I can get the same value for free. I have a smile of satisfaction as I reach the top of the hill.

The key to success in life is our attitude towards adversity(逆境).   3   Some are of our making but many are not our fault. While we cannot choose the adversity we can choose our attitude towards it.

That's nonsense. Make up your mind, you'll never use crutches or a stick, then have a go at everything. Go to school, join in all the games you can. Go anywhere you want to.    5   "
