A colleague at the English Language school I moonlight at gave her 13 year old students a sheet containing prompt words, for example "Happiness is....", "Frustration is..." etc. The best responses came from a student named Caty and I felt compelled to share.
Frustration is... another kind of scenery you have to face on your way to success.
Happiness is... a beautiful bird which always flies away from your hug.
Boredom is... a prison and boredom is an enjoyment.
Satisfaction is... the smile you get from others' eyes.
Fear is... a ghost who eats your courage and spirit.
Surprise is... a baby who brings you a present.
Kindness is...a good remedy for a cold heart.
Relief is... what you want to get from others and what others want to get from you.
Truth is... the sun shiny [sic.] all the time.
Courage is... feeling confident even you will face to die.
Sadness is... the beginning of happiness.
Anger is... a poison which will damage your good mood.
-- Caty, age 13, Shanghai.
