when we finally meet the right person,we willknow how to be grateful for that gift.When the door of happiness closes,another opens,but oftentimes we look so long at the closed door that we don t see the onewhich has been opened for us.The best kind of friend is the kind you can swing with,neversay a word,and then walk away feeling like it was the bestconversation you ve ever had.It s true that we don t know what we ve got until we loseit,but it s also true that we don t know what we ve been missinguntil it arrives.Dont go for looks;they can deceive（欺骗）.Don,t go for wealth,even that fades away.Go for someone who makes you smile becauseit takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright.Find the onethat makes your heart smile.May you have enough happiness to make you sweet,enoughexperiences to make you strong,enough sorrow to keep you human,enough hope to bring you joy.Always put yourself in another s shoes.If you feel that ithurts you,it probably hurts the other person,too.Thehappiest people don t necessarily have the best of everything;theyjust make the most of everything that comes along their way.The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past,you can t get on well in life until you let go of past failuresand heartaches.When you were born,you were crying and everyone around you wassmiling.Live your life so that when you die,you re the
