Five Smart Habits of Successful Children
Have you ever wondered what actions make the most difference in your children's lives?
Children don't have to be smart to succeed. They don't have to be born rich and famous. All they need is the right outlook and a few smart habits.
Successful children make friends wherever they go. Children who learn to get along with others from an early age are more successful in life. 1 Without them, we'd have no support. Whatever the goal, friends are needed to achieve it. Do your children a favor by encouraging social interaction early.
2 They don't just hope for success; they are certain of it. They don't complain. They have a smile on their face and get on with the business of living. They feel pain just like the other children. The difference is that they don't let it hinder(妨碍) their progress.
Successful children become successful because they never give up. They fall. They fail. 3 The difference is that they use their mistakes the way they were intended. They embrace failure because it pushes them forward.
Successful children ignore the naysayer (反对者). They don't worry about what other people think. They follow the path that is right for them, regardless of gossip. 4 They are too busy working towards their goals. They do have concern for the feelings of others.
Successful children share their success. They don't forget all the people who helped them get where they were going. 5 They don't criticize(批评) and reject(抛弃) those who are struggling. They take them by the hand and guide them up the ladder.
A.Do you want to be a successful child? |
B.Social skills are vital(重要的) to human survival. |
C.Successful children look on the bright side. |
D.They make just as many mistakes as the other children. |
E. They take the time to teach others what they have learned.
F. They don't engage in gossip either, because they don't have time for it.
G. In fact, they don't even have to become rich and famous.

No fight can end, and no friendship can move on, until everyone says these little words: I’m sorry. Sometimes, though, they can be difficult to say. __
It’s not about winning.
Friendships aren’t like the Super Bowl, and there should never be a winner and a loser. When you start fighting with a friend, it may feel important that you “win” the fight by proving you’re right and he is wrong, or by making him be the first to apologize.
In reality, you’ll BOTH LOSE if you let your fight ruin your friendship, and you will BOTH WIN if you find a way to heal it.
____
You may have heard the expression “His pride stood in the way.” It is usual used to describe a person who is determined to be “right” that he lets an opportunity for happiness pass him by forever. ___ Remember: as time goes on, we usually forget who was right and who was wrong in a disagreement, and only remember the sadness of losing a friend.
Take the first step.
Are you sick of fighting? Do you think this fight is just not important enough to ruin your friendship?__ You don’t have to take full responsibility(责任)for starting the fight, or even say that your feelings were wrong. But you should find something you did or said that’s worth apologizing for. Maybe you’re sorry that you let the fight go for so long, or that you overreacted(反应过度)to something your friend did. If you say you’re sorry, it’s like an invitation for your friend to do the same.___
__
A.Then try to be the first to apologize. |
B.Stop thinking about your pride. |
C.It’s about taking some responsibility for the argument. |
D.Don’t let this happen to a friendship you care about. |
E.Here are some things to keep in mind.
F.There are some special cases when you shouldn’t be the one to apologize first.
G.Once you’ve both said it, you’ll both feel a million times better.

Many people think of guys as being carefree when it comes to their appearance. But in fact, a lot of guys spend plenty of time in front of the mirror. 1.
Body image is a person’s opinions and feelings about his or her own body and physical appearance. 2. You appreciate your body for its capabilities and accept its imperfections.
So, what can you do to develop a positive body image? Here are some ideas:
Recognize your strengths. Different body types are good for different things. What does your body do well? Maybe your speed, strength, or coordination makes you better than others at a certain sport. That may be basketball, table tennis, mountain biking, dancing, or even running. Or perhaps you have non-sports skills, like drawing, painting, singing, playing a musical instrument, writing, or acting. 3.
Exercise regularly. Exercise can help you look good and feel good about yourself. Good physiques (体形) don’t just happen. 4. A healthy habit can be as simple as exercising 20 minutes to one hour three days a week. Working out can also lift your spirits.
Respect your body! Practicing good habits --- regular showering; taking care of your teeth, hair, and skin; wearing clean clothes, and so on --- can help you build a positive body image.
5. Your body is just one part of who you are. Your talent for comedy, a quick wit (智慧), and all the other things makeyou unique. So try not to let small imperfections take over.
A.Use this as an opportunity to discover what you’re good at. |
B.Be yourself. |
C.They care just as much as girls do about their body image. |
D.Just explore talents that you feel good about. |
E. They take hard work, regular workouts, and a healthy diet.
F. The good news is that self-image and body image can be changed.
G. Having a positive body image means feeling satisfied with the way you look.
