2．Why do I volunteer with Big brothers/Big sisters of America？I have many reasons．Perhaps the biggest reason is that people once volunteered to help me．
Years ago，I was on the other side of the table．I was lonely and I felt lost．It's a little embarrassing to talk about it now，but whatever the right direction in life was，I was going the opposite way．More than once，I found myself on the wrong path．If someone hadn't stepped in when he did，I probably wouldn't even be here now．I'd rather be in a prison or somewhere a lot smaller and deeper．
I've seen the work that big brothers/sisters have been doing all over the country and I'm pleased to be part of it．I've never done anything that made me prouder than my volunteer work．Big brothers and sisters helped me get over sadness and depression as soon as possible．Then，if I can help anyone like they helped me，I am willing to serve for as long as they will have me serve them．There are no words to describe the joy I get from helping somebody turn their life around．Every time I think that that's me now，I'm proud and happy．
Volunteering is how I want to leave my mark on the world．I recommend volunteering work to everybody，especially to somebody who isn't sure where they are going in life．Helping someone find their path is often the best way to find yours．Be a volunteer，and you will find your purpose in life．

20．You have the ability to decide if you are happy or not．Happiness is a choice．
You can't depend on someone else to make you happy．That is a lesson I learned early on in my marriage．I realized that I couldn't rely on my husband as my source of happiness．I learned that my happiness depended on me and not my husband's actions．I learned that you have to choose to be happy．
You can choose your emotions （情緒）．Happiness can't be forced by outside forces．So how do you choose happiness？You can choose to smile or choose to wear a certain outfit．You choose it because that's what you want to experience in your life．
You want to buy a new pair of shoes so you choose a pair that you like and feel good．You wouldn't buy a pair of shoes that you don't like or that don't fit well，right？So why do we keep choosing emotions and feelings that don't make us feel good？
Choosing to be happy after you realize your anger has shown up （or even choosing to be calm） can be beneficial．We choose our feelings and no one can do that for us．If we let others get to us，influence our emotions-we are giving them power over us．When others cause us anger or pain，we are giving them our power．
We need to keep our feelings in check and not react automatically to what is thrown at us．We need to think our actions out instead of just reacting to what someone says or does．
Remember that we can always choose happiness．At first it will be difficult to just change your thoughts and feelings from anger，self-doubt，or fear to joy and happiness．But it is only a thought away．Don't think about what happens to you unnecessarily but realize what is causing you to feel that way．Realize that thoughts，feelings and emotions can change．Then move on and choose to be happy．

14．Now we're always hearing about road accident，and when we're in a car we try to drive carefully，but how many of us take the same degree of care in our homes？Any large hospital will tell you the number of the accidents that happen in the home is almost the same as those on the road．
    One of the commonest and most dangerous causes of home accidents is wrong and careless use of electrical equipment．People will continue to use a loose plug or pull out a plug without first turning off the power．In spite of warnings，one will carry an electric heater into the bathroom when he is going to have a bath．Sometimes one forgets to cut off the power before mending a lamp or something else．All this will cause accidents．So the rule about anything that work by electricity is：Switch off before you touch anything and don't pretend you know when you actually don't．
If you've got children in the house，it's always best to keep medicines of any kind out of their reach．Otherwise，they may be taken for candies or a new kind of drink．When there are older people living with you，you have to take particular care in a number of ways in order to make them safe and happy．
Fire，of course，is always a risk．So，remember not to dry clothes in front of fires，or leave stoves in the middle of rooms where they can easily be knocked over．And don't forget to keep the children away from fire．Smoking，too，may cause fire．So you'd better give it up．Safety first may mean a little more time and care，but it may save you a lot of trouble．
