Life comes in a package. This package includes happiness and sadness，failure and success，hope and despair. Life is a learning process. Experiences in life teach us new lessons and make us a better person. With each passing day we learn to deal with kinds of situations．

Love

Love plays an important role in our life. Love makes you feel wanted. Without love a person could become cruel. In the early stage of our life，our parents are the ones who show us with unconditional love and care, they teach us about what is right and wrong，good and bad.

Happiness and Sadness

Happiness achieved by bringing a smile on others face gives a certain level of fulfillment．Peace of mind makes you feel happy. No mind is happy without peace. We realize the true worth of happiness when we are sad．

Failure and Success

Success brings in money，fame，pride and self-respect. Failure is the way to success, and it helps us to touch the sky，teaches us to survive and shows us a specific way. Here it becomes very important to keep our head on our shoulder．

Hope and Despair

Hope is what keeps life going. Parents always hope their children will do well．Hope makes us dream．Hope builds in patience．Life teaches us not to despair even in the darkest hour，because after every night there is a day. Life teaches us not to regret over yesterday, for it has passed and is beyond our control．Tomorrow is unknown, for it could either be bright or dull. So what we can choose is to work hard today，so that we will enjoy a better tomorrow.
