I showed my teacher and my classmates. They laughed again. “Just plain dumb luck,（纯属侥幸）” the teacher said. However, I‟d tasted 34 . I‟d sold the first thing I‟d ever written.
By the time I graduated from high school（with a C-minus average）, I had scrapbooks filled with my published 35 . I never talked about my writing to my teachers, friends or my family again.

college I attended, what degrees I have, and what qualities I have to be a writer. The answer is

Happiness is for everyone, and you don‟t need to care about those people who have beautiful houses with 61 and swimming pools or those who have nice cars 62 a lot of money and so on. Why? Because those who have big houses may often 63 lonely and those who have cars may want to walk on the country roads in their free time.
In fact, happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it. When you are in 64 at school, your friends will help you; when you study at your lessons, your parents are always 65 good care of your life and your health; when you get 66 , your friends will say congratulations to you; when you do something wrong, people around you will help you to 67 it. And when you do something good to others, you will feel happy, too. All these are your happiness. If you notice those things, you can see that happiness is always 68 you.
Happiness is not the same as money. It is a feeling of your heart. When you are poor you can also say you are very happy because you have something else that can‟t be bought with money. When you meet difficulties, you can say loudly you are very happy because you have more chances to 69 yourself. So you cannot always say you are poor or you have bad
