How to Simplify Your Life
Less is more. This is why we say: reduce things by half instead of doubling them, get rid of junk instead of piling it up, relax instead of stressing, slow down instead of speeding up. Apply these principles in your everyday life in a conscious way. You will then find yourself well along on your journey to simplification.__________
When you concentrate on one task, you find you have energy that you didn't even know you had. Just imagine: you are at a fair and you have to carry two heavy pigs over 100 yards. If you keep grabbing one and then the other, it will take forever, because one of them will keep slipping out from under your arm and running off. But if you tie one pig in a place, pick up the other, gather all your strength and make a dash for the finish line, pause for a moment, run back and get the other one, and with great determination, carry the second pig to the finish line, then you can be sure of success.________
The pressure at work is on the increase in all occupations. In the modern nuclear family, the expectations that formerly would have been shared among all the relatives are now concentrated on the individual partner.
If you have the feeling that 24 hours per day are not enough for all the things you need to do, then it's not because the day has too few hours, but because you have too many activities. A simple fact that overloaded people often tend to be forgot. The solution is equally simple: refuse to accept so many work assignments in your private life or your working life.________
“I can handle stress” is regarded as a positive statement in the world of work. People who can handle stress are given more and more to cope with -- until one day they break.
Pay careful attention to the signs that tell you that you are under more stress than you can cope with. These signals can come from various areas of life. You become ill, or your work efficiency decreases.
If you have any of these symptoms, change your life goals and decrease your tolerance of stress. Say quite openly, “I can't manage that.”__________
“If only I were slimmer, more beautiful, richer, cleverer, then I would be happier.” This is a dream that makes a lot of people ill, depressed, and unhappy. Life has its flaws, defects, corners, and edges. Only those who accept this reality can lead a really full life.
Of course there are activities in which errors are dangerous: driving a car; crossing the road. But life doesn’t consist entirely of these things. In/Among them there is a lot of room for small and large mistakes._________
Successful people all have their own places where they can withdraw in order to work. Find out which places improve your creativity. For me it’s the train. When I know that I’m going to be traveling for four hours without phone calls and people knocking on my door, I find my mind is free and I can read or write complex articles. There can be problems working on the train, of course: if the person sitting opposite you keeps talking away, or if train trips make you tired (some people fall asleep after a few miles).
People often say you never get a second chance to make a first impression, and that's actually quite true. After all, making a good first impression is all about making others feel good when spending time with them．The following tips will help you make a positive impression every time．
● Dress appropriatelyThat means dressing up or putting on nice, clean, situation-appropriate clothes for social situations．It isn't difficult and it doesn't have to cost you much, either．
● Be aware of your body language
Words express very little of what you say．Body language can tell someone a lot about your mood and confidence level．Eye contact is an easy way to make others feel comfortable, important and special．Nervous body language can make others uncomfortable and anxious．Try to be aware of your body language when communicating with others．
● Respect the opinions of others
Not everyone will have the same opinion with you, and friendly disagreements can be a gateway to a great conversation．Respect other people's right to have their own opinion．Respect the opinions of others even if you disagree with them．
●

The Value of a Dollar

Even so, what is the harm in treating yourself once in a while? ___ If not, at least it was a moment of excitement in your boring life.
___ There are many stores that have containers for the purposes of a charitable cause. Next time you see one of these, take a look at it and actually read the words on the container. If it's a cause you feel strongly about, why not help to make a difference?
___ These are only a few to get you thinking about it. In today's society with so many poor people and lowincome families, this is something that's very important to think about.

Investing(投资) in yourself

Dear Sir,
I have to travel every day from So UK Road to the airport. Two buses travel along this route No.49 and No.16. However, by the time No.16 reaches So UK Road, it’s always full.___ The timetable states that there are buses from So UK Road to the airport every ten minutes.
_____ The instructions state that if there are empty seats on a bus, the bus must stop at every stop where people are waiting.
_______
The instructions state that no bus may carry more than 40 seated passengers and 20 standing passengers. Yesterday, I was the first to get off the bus when it reached the airport. ____. There were 129 of them.
Clearly printed on the back of every bus is a sign that says “Maximum speed 50mph.” ___ Saturday morning a No.49 bus travelled the distance in ten minutes, at an average speed of 60mph. At times it must have done at least 80 or even 90 mph.
It is obvious that our bus companies have neither respect for the instructions nor consideration for their passengers. Can nothing be done about this?
Jeff
| A．I counted the other passengers as they got off. |
| B．Is there anything we can do to change this? |
| C．The problem is that we can have to pay more for our trip. |
| D．The distance from So UK Road to airport is 10 miles. |
E. This leaves No. 49 which sometimes has empty seats on it.
F. If this is so, why do I have to wait half an hour for a bus nearly every day?
G. Why is it that half-empty buses go straight past me when I am standing at the bus stop?
