The tradition of the most valuable
Every family has their own habits and characteristics. Fine traditions is accumulated slowly in life,and these traditions beneficial to us, or make us feel happy in life . In my family, also has many fine traditions. The tradition of the most valuable, feel it is the whole family get together and spend the Spring Festival every year.
The day We are most looking forward to come.On the day, our parents get up early and get busy cooking a lot of delicious food, like pot roast , pot chicken, and tasty snacks. My brother and I are busy to post couplets, after that, we play chess, or help parents do some housework. At lunch time, we take out good wine,then set off firecrackers,after that everyone sit around the table and pray our ancestors to return home and enjoying the delicious food with us. It is said to bring good luck to the family next year.On New Year's eve, our whole family sit around the brazier, making dumplings and talking about the interesting things happened around us, which make us feel happy. After that , everyone spends the evening playing poker, staying up late and watching Spring Festival Gala Evening, enjoying some fruits, such as apples, oranges, pears and so on, or peanuts and the melon seeds.Everyone enjoys the fun of that. The next day, everyone will send each other best wishes, of course, kids can get some Lucky money. Distant relatives and friends will also pay calls to send a blessing, some even come to get together, because only that day everybody may have time to get together, and stay with us lived for a few days.
Later, my brother graduated from the university and got a job in another province,he had to work overtime even during the Spring Festival,so it becomes difficult for our whole family to have a chance to have a meal together.On the Spring Festival Day, my brother pay a call from his workplace at lunch time,facing the big lunch but sadly for tears after my mother answered the phone.Then I told myself, I must go home to spend the Spring Festival with my whole family no matter how busy I will.
One day, I will have my own child, I would like to keep the tradition passing. I will let my future children know this,although they may take a long time to understand how to love their family and why should he spend more time together.The whole family should be thrift and industrious,care mutually,and never separate or abandon each other.This is what my parents told her son using their own words and deeds.

The Relationship between Wealth and Happiness
Today we love money more than ever under the illusion that money can buy us everything, freeing us from any want. With our desires satisfied, we thought we will become happier. As economic growth really make us happier and wealth really mean happiness?
I’m perfectly willing to agree that the absolute level of wealth doesn’t make us happier.First,to get a sense of it, let's see paradoxes of today's society: today we eat more food, but less nutrition or even poision in it; we have bigger house, but smaller family; today we enjoy more convenience, but less time; we have learnt how to make a living, but not a life. Second,as you can see, the increase of wealth doesn't necessarily brings forth the real happiness. As a human being, we all have our basic need, food, clothes, shelter, children's education, etc,while wealth, with my personal definition, different from the basic need, is to the scale that's far beyond these needs.Some people have the insatiable appetite to money and a determination to get it by
all means, even sacrifice their morals. Wealth of this kind will be won only with the cost of loss of peace , joy ,even family and lover. Third, Money is not almighty. At least, we can't buy our health, love, peace and joy with money.
But that doesn’t mean that changes in wealth have no effect upon happiness.The thought is that living in an economy where things are, is what creates that high level of contentment. It’s not the level of wealth, it’s the direction that level is heading in.So as a summary, wealth and happiness, people's attitude counts.When we are free from our basic wants, let's just enjoy our daily life to the full extent, and have a more caring mind to our neighbors and community and to those who are needy. I suppose with this attitude, we will be happy, even much happier than those who control a great amount of wealth.
Is failure a good teacher
For failure, different people have different ideas. I’m perfectly willing to agree that failure can be a good teacher. we’ll understand the profound meaning of success deeply if we went through failure.
In my opinion,First,failure is not terrible as long as we’re able to understand it correctly. Failure is inevitable on the road to success. Failure can be a good teacher to help us to be better the second time around. Many important inventions or discoveries were achieved after hundreds of failures;Second,failure is the only way to grow, it makes us recognize our own ability and find our own position, then improve the method, so as to success better; Third, in the modern society, team cooperation becomes important increasingly, failure makes us review ourselves, then the team understands mutually and improves the friendship;last but not least,failure can awake our sense of responsibility and make us try to become a man of value.
The way to success is full of various difficulties and obstacles. There is some wisdom to be to be learned from failure. If we can learn to turn a failure to our advantage, we will have learned another secret to success. All of us experience failure every now and then, it often accompany with us in our common life,and we should cherish a failure.
