South Korean pop singer Chae Yeon is known for her passion(激情). Once a group of artists were invited to climb to the top of a mountain and yell (喊叫) out their greatest wish. When it was her turn, Chae shouted, “I will never give up !”

On March 18, Chae Yeon came to Beijing to promote(宣傳) her fourth album（專輯）, My Love . This time there are two songs sung in Chinese on the record. She says she’s worked really hard on her pronunciation. “There are so many newcomers in this field. It’s hard to make yourself heard,” she told reporters. “But I am confident and I will fight for my album.”

In fact, Chae Yeon didn’t start out as a singer in South Korea. Her career(生涯) in music began in Japan. There were times when she was so poor she had to sleep on the streets. But when she returned to South Korea, she became a success.

“It's the same everywhere, whether I'm in Japan, China or South Korea,” she says. “There is constant(不斷的) competition. But I'm grateful(感激) for it. Without that pressure , I couldn't have made the songs I have.”

The story goes that some time ago, a man had a very lovely little daughter. One day the man punished his three-year-old daughter for wasting a roll of gold wrapping paper(一卷金色包裝紙).

Money was tight(緊) and he became angry when the child tried to decorate(裝飾) a box to put under the Christmas tree. Nevertheless(盡管如此), the little girl brought the gift to her father the next morning and said, “This is for you, Daddy.”

The man was embarrassed by his earlier overreaction(過度反應)，but he was angry again when he found out the box was empty. He shouted at her, “Don’t you know, when you give someone a gift, there is supposed to be something inside?” The little girl looked up at him with tears(眼淚) in her eyes and cried, “Oh, Daddy, it’s not empty at all. I blew kisses into the box. They are all for you, Daddy.”

The father was surprised. He put his arm around his little girl, and he begged for her forgiveness(懇求她的原諒).

Only a short time later, an accident took the life of the child. It is also told that her father kept the gold box by his bed for many years and whenever he was upset, he would remember the love of the child who had put it there.

Is there someone you hate? Well, maybe you don’t really hate them. But you get really angry every time you think of them. If you don’t let this anger(憤怒) go, it can turn into bitterness(痛苦).

Bitterness appears when we can’t forgive(原諒) someone who has hurt us or made us angry. Someone might say or do something that hurts us. But instead of controlling the anger, we keep it deep inside. Then, a bitter feeling begins to grow. We may think we’re hurting that person by criticizing(批評) him or her often, but we’re really only hurting ourselves.

Bitterness can not only lead to serious healthy problems such as heart disease(疾病), but also hurt our relationships with friends and family members. No one enjoys being around an angry person for very long.

If you see bitterness in our life, here are some ways to deal with it.

●Accept it

Instead of trying to deny your anger, make it clear to yourself and accept it. See your anger for what it is and quickly deal with it.

●Stop making excuses for it

You may feel you have a right(權(quán)力) to be angry. You may think you’re right and the other person is wrong. You may even secretly enjoy making the other person look bad. But in the end, bitterness hurts you much more than the other person. The bitterness will hold you back, and the other person will go on with his or her life.

●Forgive and forget it

You probably can’t completely put the anger out of your mind. But you can decide to forgive the other person. Forget it and move on. You’ll enjoy better health and peace of mind.
