One of my friends once said, “High income (收入) is not as good as high age, and high age is not as good as high spirits.” His words clearly compares the importance of high income, high age and high spirits.
Usually, people consider high income as a sign of success. With money they can enjoy the rich material world and live a good life. The more money they have, the happier they will be. Nowadays, money seems to be the only thing that drives people. Some people are trying different ways, even some bad ways, to make money.

High age is what many Chinese people dream of. There are many books and programs that tell people how to live longer. Dancing, jogging, dieting, even singing and shouting together are thought to be good for people’s health.
What about high spirits? They are important to people’s life. If you are in high spirits, you will find everything pleasant and comfortable in life: warm sunshine, blue sky, white clouds, happy birds and sweet smiles. You will be happy all the time. When you are happy, you will be in good health. With a healthy body, you can live longer and make more money.

Do you feel a little sleepy after lunch? Well, that’s normal. Your body naturally slows down then. What should you do about it? Don’t reach for a coffee! Instead, take a nap.
There are many benefits (好处) of a daily nap. First of all, you are more efficient (有效率) after napping. You remember things better and make fewer mistakes.

Also, you should set an alarm clock. That way, you can fully relax during your nap. You won’t have to keep looking at the clock so that you don’t oversleep.
Now, the next time you feel sleepy after lunch, don’t get stressed. Put your head down, close your eyes, and have forty winks.
