In fact, good students may just end up doing jobs they don’t like, and some even lead an unhappy life. Why is it like that? In some parents’ eyes, school grades mean everything for their kids. But in fact, there are many other things. For example, how to be a happy person, what to do to keep healthy, and how to get along well with others. That is to say, school is not just enough if you want to have a great life. Doing well in school doesn’t mean doing well in life. Studies show that people who failed at school may not end up failing in life. You may have already known that some famous people, like Thomas Edison and Steve Jobs, didn’t do very well at school or even failed to finish school. In fact, Not only the big shots are successful in life without finishing school. They seize (抓住) every chance to learn and finally make it to the top. Life is really a long lesson, it’s so long that you can’t define (界定) a person’s success by just one section of it. Keep learning to make the most of your talents. That’s how you can live a happy and successful life. 28.In some parents’ eyes, what’s the most important for their kids? A.Being happy. B.Staying healthy.
