1．Great design can make people happy.From the color of our walls to the sofa we sit on and the cup that holds our morning coffee，products can have a huge effect on the way we feel.Here are a few examples.
The red table （from ￡9，020）
The struggle to find a large extendable dining table in a finish （飾面） other than wood led the De Rosee Sa studio to design this statement piece. "This table is amazing and really different，" says Lucinda Chambers. "I love the high shine and it would be such a talking point in a room."
The Pacific chair （around ￡1，900）
The rounded，oversized shapes of this chair by Patricia Urquiola are further strengthened by her use of soft upholstery （座套） including plush wool and luxurious velvet. "This piece looks graceful in style and would make a great side chair，" says Sarah Spiteri.
The Holi sofa （around ￡2，750）
Available in 60 colors，there is a true versatility （多功能性） to the Holi sofa.Its washed-linen material feels casual and comfortable-it is an excellent family piece. "It's smart enough to work in a fashionable living room，and also friendly enough to sit in any other room of a house，" says Pip McCormac.
The headboard bed （from ￡1，289）
This eye-catching bed features an elegant winged headboard and is available in 100 different colors and materials with a wide range of leg choices. "It's an affordable design that you could make your own with custom fabrics，" says Minnie Kemp.

3．Some people work a job their whole lives and it is nothing more than a job.Carole and Russ Cassidy were lucky.They found their passion （熱愛(ài)） in life through their work as special education teachers.But the Cassidys say they are even luckier in retirement （退休生活）.
"We just did not want to be sitting and not doing anything in retirement，" Carole Cassidy said. "We tried a couple of things and they were not meant for us."
Soon，they found the Princeton Public Library's Children's Story time program and wanted to be a part of it at once.
"We were lucky；they came and found us and asked to volunteer （做志愿者），" Rebecca Marrs，Children's Librarian at the Princeton Public Library said.Marrs said the kids love the retired special education teachers and are able to interact （互動(dòng)） on a better level.

Story time is on a hiatus （間斷） until springtime，but Marrs said there will be several story times during the winter break.

4．Many young people would like to make a booth（貨攤）to do business on the street in the name of entrepreneurship （創(chuàng)業(yè)精神）and sell lemons.It might seem like an easy sell—kids offering cool drinks.Some entrepreneurs offer their tips on how to make money from this.
Joe Mansueto，founder of the investment company Momingstar，sold lemonade （檸檬汽水）as a kid. "You should always pay attention to customers，" he said. "When somebody's walking down the street，get out from behind the booth，greet them，talk to them and just make friends with them to attract more customers."
However，his two sons decided to sell a different drink.When they were 8 and 10，his boys sold cocoa outside their home. "The great thing about business is that there are really no rules.You can be creative and try something different，" said Mansueto.
But it wasn't enough for US representative Mike Quigley and his older brother to sell drinks.They sold old books at the booth and would rent them out for customers to read while they enjoyed their drinks.
Adam Ochstein，founder of StratEx Partners，a human resources service company，gave frequent visitors cards which were printed with a lemon.Every five drinks，customers got one card which allowed them to pay less than half of the next drink.However，they didn't price（給……定價(jià)）the drinks. "If you want to give nothing，give nothing.If you want to give 2，give2.1 think we had let the adults give more money than they probably would like to." Today，he suggests kids use social media for marketing.He said， "It can tell people where the booth is going to be and what unique specials you're running."
