Some people do not seem to have a mind of their own. They never express their own ideas and they do not decide to do what to do themselves. My brother is one of these people. Last night, for example, he was going to read at home. At about seven thirty, his friend Tom came in, “Let’s watch TV.” “OK.” my brother answered. By ten o’clock my brother was tired and sleepy, and he wanted to go to bed. But Tom said, “ Let’s go out and get something to eat.” “ Good.” my brother answered. He often says things he does not mean and does thing he really does not want to. Worse than that, he does not say the things he would like to say or do a lot of things he would like to do.When did Tom come?
What does the writer think of his brother?

Maybe you have seen this in schools: some students are studying hard all the time but they just pass their exams, while some others may spend much less time on their books but do much better in exams. How could this happen? People used to think that hard-work is the only way to success. But now they have understood that smart work can make them succeed, too.
Hard workers don’t mind working for long hours, while smart workers always think of several different answers to these questions, “ Why should I suffer(忍受) this? Isn’t there s better way to do this?” Thanks to these people, we can use computers instead of the abacus(算盘) now. Progress in every field(领域) is the direct result of “ try a better way” by smart workers.
There was a large soap factory in Japan. Once it received an unusual letter, complaining(抱怨) that there was no soap in the soapbox he bought. How could empty soapboxes go out of the factory? The engineers (工程师) checked the producing and packing(包装). The producing was fine, but in about one in ten thousand cases, the packing machine let an empty soapbox go. There was no need to spend a lot of money repairing the machine for such a small problem. The engineer soon work out a solution. He put a huge X-ray machine and two large computers to find out the empty soapboxes. After teaching the worker how to use it, he sat down in his seat, exhausted(筋疲力尽的).
“ Sir, we could have solved the problem in a much easier and cheaper way.” said one worker. “ Really? How?” “ We can put a huge fan(风扇) near the packing machine. The wind will blow away the empty boxes. There would be no need for an X-ray machine and computers.”

What’s the most important thing for you to have in your life? Somebody mentions hard-work; others suggest knowledge, love and luck.
If you arrange the 26 English letters alphabetically(按字母表顺序）and use the numbers to represent each of them, for example, 1 for a, 2 for b, 3 for c..., you can change an English word into a number. So hard-work become 8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11="98," meaning 98 is its mark; knowledge : 11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5="96," while love: 12+15+22+5=54，and luck: 12+21+3+11="47," a small mark. None of these words can give one a full mark. What about money or prayer(祈祷)? They can’t, either.
Then what else? Don’t be worried. You can always find an answer to a problem in your life, when you change your way of looking at things or doing things, or your attitude(态度). Yes, the attitude is the word. See for yourselves: attitude: 1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5="100," a full mark.
Different attitudes lead to different courses of life. Most time people hope for a better life. It is possible that one will have a change for the better after one has changed one’s attitude.
