I will never forget what my old headmaster had taught me.Normally when you are only 15 years of age you do not remember most of the things that are preached by your teachers.But,this particular story is one such lesson that I will never forget.Every time I drift off course,I get reminded of this story.
It was a normal Monday morning at an assembly,and he was addressing the students on important things in life and about committing ourselves to what was important to us.This is how the story went: An old man lived in a certain part of London,and he would wake up every morning and go to the subway.He would take the train right to Central London,and then sit at the street corner and beg.He did this every single day for almost 20 years.
His house was filthy,and a horrible smell came out of it.The neighbors could not stand the smell any longer,so they summoned the police officers to clear the place.The officers knocked down the door,cleaned the house and found small bags of money all over the house.When they counted the money,they realized that the old man was a millionaire.
They waited outside his house in anticipation to share the good news with him.When he arrived home that evening,the old man was met by one of the officers who told him that there was no need for him to beg any more as he was now a millionaire. The old man said nothing at all.He went into his house and locked the door.The next morning he woke up as usual,went to the subway,got into the train,and sat at the street corner and continued to beg.Obviously,this old man had no great plans,dreams or anything significant for his life. We learn nothing from this story other than staying focused on the things we enjoy doing.
We should remain true to our course,which may mean committing ourselves to things that people around us would normally disapprove.Let nothing distract us from being happy;let nothing else determine our fate,but ourselves.What makes us happy is what matters in the end,not what we acquire.

Rat race rebels
Most of us are trapped in a nine-to-five office routine and many of us would like to escape. We interviewed three people who have said “No!” to this rat race…
Fiona
After university, I was on the dole for a few months. I didn’t have any money, so I was really pleased to get an office job… but it was very boring! I gave it up and went to do voluntary work for the VSO – Voluntary Service Overseas – in Rwanda. I teach old people and children to read and write. It’s not the most comfortable of jobs but it’s great to be doing something of real use for once.
Andy
I used to be a freelance news journalist. It was very stressful and I had to travel a lot. I applied for loads of other jobs with no success, so I started to think about my real interest – football! Now, I work from home and write football articles for press agencies around the world. It’s a full-time job but I have much more free time. I’m my own boss and I can get up when I want!
Emma
I used to be a teacher and I worked 40 hours a week. Then, I saw the movie American Beauty and thought I could change my life too! I did a course in acupuncture and shiatsu massage. I took four years to get qualified but now I have set up my own business. Shiatsu is very popular these days because people are so stressed and you can earn quite good money.
1、Emma didn’t have a job for a while.
2、Andy has turned an interest into a profession.
3、Fiona has her own company.
4、Fiona feels she is doing something useful.
5、Andy was influenced by a film that he saw.
