欢欣happy and joyful鼓舞up-beat

Below is a fairy-tale about the Yellow River黄河.

One fall it rained everywhere every day. Small rivers flooded and poured into the Yellow River, which in turn flooded her banks and covered nearby lands and villages. Eventually, nothing could be seen except the vast and invincible Yellow River. The Yellow River was joyful and buoyant as she flowed her way to the Northern sea. She thought herself very powerful, and all other rivers naught but her tributaries. Finally, the Yellow River merged into the Northern Sea.

When she saw the boundless water of the sea, she was greatly humbled and embarrassed by her arrogant thoughts. Now she realized that ta truly joyful and buoyant life was achieved not by thinking that others were inferior to you, but rather by always seeking to lean from others.
