I used to be a pessimist （悲觀主義者），thinking that the worst thing might happen in every situation.
Last year，my mother had a serious illness.I felt my whole world turn upside down and I had no idea what I could do to help her with her pain.I often cried whenever I was alone.
Last month，I lost an expensive dress that was a birthday present from my father.I could not fall asleep for a few nights because I felt so terrible about the loss.
There have been many things like these in my life.I really didn't know how to deal with them until I read If You Have a Lemon，Make a Lemonade by an American writer，Dale Carnegie. "When the wise man is handed a lemon，he asks， 'How can I turn this lemon into a lemonade？How can I improve my situation？What lesson can I learn from this？'" he wrote.
I suddenly realized that life is full of ups and downs，so I decided to stay positive （積極的） all the time.
Now when I think of my past，I wish I could have dealt with things differently.When my mother was fighting with her illness，I should have held her hands in mine，telling her that things would get better instead of hiding and crying.
Recently，I took part in a school singing competition.I didn't win a prize.If I had not read the article，I would be sad and disappointed again.But I smiled after the competition because at least，I had got some experience in the singing competition.
Life is not just a bed of roses.There are thorns （刺） as well，but these thorns help us become braver and better.When life offers us a lemon，let's try to make a lemonade.
