A few years ago I worked in an international company that sold computer devices． I had to travel a lot over the country as a part of my work． I remember that I was at a stage of my life where I only cared about how to make more money．

On one of my trips， I came to the airport to take a bus to downtown， as usual． It was the same routine：get into the city， take the bus to the hotel， visit the customer， work late， take the bus back to the airport and fly back…That day， for some reasons， I decided to take the stairs down to a different exit， where I came across a beautiful garden I had never seen before． I waited there， enjoying the scenery． Finally the bus came．

Usually I always took the seat behind the driver． That day I sat down somewhere in the middle． A boy was seated next to me， carrying a lot of suitcases． Suddenly， he turned to me and gave me one of the most sincere smiles I had ever seen from a stranger． Warmly， he said， "hi， the perfect day in the perfect place， huh？"

I remember thinking to myself ﹣ this must be one of those typical people who is young and naive and just thinks everything is beautiful and easy． Why was he annoying me when I just wanted to enjoy the bus ride？But out of politeness， I replied， "Perfect! Did your parents pay for you to have some vacations on the beach？" "No， I'm not here for vacation， and I don't have parents，" He shook his head， "I'm here because I want to achieve my biggest dream． I'm on the way to the army school where my grandfather studied a long time ago．"

He smiled and told me that for 10 years， he had only one thing on his mind to join the army school like his grandfather． "My grandpa was a general of the army． He left me this，" he said proudly． He showed me a golden knife and said this was the best memory of his childhood． "The only thing I know is that I will follow my dream and every day I will be happ．" Soon， the bus reached his stop， he stood up， took all his suitcases， and said goodbye with a big smile． From that day on， I always try to do everything with my best smile on my face
