Janelle was running late for work, so she just had time for a quick look at hers

题型:不详难度:来源:
Janelle was running late for work, so she just had time for a quick look at herself in the mirror as she was going out. What she saw there made her stop dead in her tracks.
Being a busy college student just one year removed from her teenage years, she wasn’t exactly obsessive-compulsive(有强迫观念和行为的) about the neatness of her clothes. But her boss at the restaurant where she works saw things a little differently. He had recently lectured the entire staff on the importance of appearance, and had specifically mentioned the need for servers to wear clean, unwrinkled blouses. As an assistant manager, Janelle felt it was important to set an example for the other employees. But if she stopped to iron the blouse normally, she would be late —and work without delay was an area of even greater concern to her boss.
So she grabbed her iron and plugged it in and set it for low heat. Carefully holding her blouse away from her body, she continued to iron it while she was wearing it. It seemed like a logical answer to an urgent problem.
And it seemed to be working until Janelle tried to iron the collar and accidentally ironed her neck by mistake. Then it suddenly seemed like a really stupid idea and a really painful one as well. It took more time to treat her burn than it would have taken to iron her shirt properly. And she spent a miserable shift dealing with the pain of the burn.
We’ve all been there, haven’t we? For me it was cutting my own hair. For a former roommate it was trying to pull his own wisdom teeth. For another college acquaintance, it was trying to change the oil in his car while the motor was still running.
“There’s a right way and a wrong way of doing things,” Dad used to tell me whenever I’d spoil the look of our yard by trying out a faster, easier and more creative way of pulling weeds or edging the lawn. “If a thing is worth doing,” he said, “it’s worth doing it right.” There’s a reason why certain things are done in certain ways. Those old, boring, predictable ways work.

A couple were having a wedding. All of their friends and family came to see the lovely    and all had a wonderful time. The bride was      in her white wedding gown and the groom was very handsome. Everyone could tell that the love they had for each other was true.
A few months later, the wife came to the husband with a    , “Each of us will write a list of things we find a bit    with the other person. Then, we can talk about how we can    them and make our lives happier.” The husband agreed. So they went to think of the things that annoyed them about the other.
The next morning, at the breakfast table, they decided they would go over their   .
“I’ll start,” said the wife. She took out her list. It had many items on it, enough to fill three pages. In fact, as she started reading the list of the little annoyances, she noticed that tears were starting to appear in her husband"s eyes.
“What’s wrong?” she asked. “Nothing.” the husband replied,“   reading your list.”
The wife continued to read until she had read all three    to her husband.
“Now, it’s your turn and then we’ll talk about the things on both of our lists.” she said happily.
      the husband stated,“I don’t have anything on my list. I think you are    the way that you are. I don’t want you to change anything for me.”
The wife    by his honesty and the depth of his love for her and his acceptance of her, turned her head and wept.
In life, there are enough times when we are disappointed, depressed and annoyed. We don’t really have to go looking for them. We have a wonderful world that is full of beauty, light and promise. Why waste time seeking the bad, disappointing or annoying when we can look around us, and see the     things before us?

There are going to be moments in life when you must make very important decisions. You will find many people      to offer you advice if you ask for it (and even if you don’t), but always remember that the life you     is yours and nobody else’s. It’s important to decide for yourself what’s important to you and what you want before you      others. Because while there will be times      outside advice proves wise, there will be at least as many times when it proves completely     . The only way to really evaluate other folks’ advice is to first learn everything that you can about whatever challenge you are     . Once you’ve done that, in most cases you should be able to make a wise decision      anyway.
You were      with the ability to decide what is and what isn’t in your best interest. Most of the time, you will make the right decision and      the appropriate action, and in thinking for yourself, you will become far more successful than if you had gone against your own     .
Early on in my investment career, I made the mistake of      a few important business decisions on colleagues’ opinions instead of conducting the      necessary to make a wise decision. It wasn’t due to      on my part; no one could ever accuse me of that. But, being      to Wall Street, I intended to suppose that my more senior      knew more than I did, and so I      too much significance to their opinions.
You know what happened? Each of those investments ended in     . Eventually I stopped allowing myself to be influenced by      and began doing the work myself and making my own decisions. It took me until I was almost 30 years old to      this—it’s never too late for a person to change his approach both to      and to life.

My friend Tom came across an accident when driving in darkness. His legs were so hurt that he couldn’t move. What was           was that he found himself unable to ask for help—his mobile phone went out of       as a result of exhausted battery. Nothing could be done but          in the cold wilderness. It was 8 hours later that day broke and then the       of the rescue team.
It is almost          that he could stand the horror in the darkness for so long. Even more surprising was his       . “First of all I checked my   conditions and found myself not in danger. As there was no        to call for help, I leaned(斜靠)back in my seat trying my best to keep the wound from       . In this way I dozed(打盹)off.”
His story put an end to my regret for the         of an exploration that happened last year. A group of young men          to explore a mountain cave and got lost.         to find a way out in the dark cave they were frightened and ran anxiously without a sense of        . Finally, they fell dead in fear and exhaustion. According to the       team that found them, the place where they got lost was only about 10 meters away from the       of the cave. If they stayed on the spot when they lost their way and tried to      themselves, they would probably have sensed a faint light glowing(发出) not far away.
Don’t you think that you can compare it with       itself? When you meet with difficulties in life, you are lost in darkness. Focus that it’s unclear to you yet and you needn’t put up struggle     . It seems to be a negative attitude,     a person who can do so must have foresight as well as a great        in the first place.
