五、任务型阅读
(原创)There are always many people who say “Lucky me.”, while others always complain “What a bad luck!”. What makes this difference Actually, these lucky people are no more truly lucky or special than us. They simply have a few habits and behaviors we all could learn from.
Lucky people always use their time wisely and make the most of every day because time is flying. Once you were only sixteen years old, but it seems that you are forty soon. Yes, this is how quickly time flies, so don't waste time on meaningless things.
Besides, lucky people believe that they are lucky, so they face life positively (积极地) and hopefully. Thus, they always have a good attitude and see only challenges, not problems in front of them. The ability to be active without turning a blind eye to problems and bad feelings is of great value.
As you can see, luck is more about a person's attitude. Lucky people are believed to be more energetic and mentally (精神上) stronger, so you can learn from their behaviors and habits to get luck. Next time when you want to complain your bad luck, please change your attitude.
