题型:不详难度:来源:
When something goes wrong, it can be very satisfying to say, “Well, it’s so-and-so’s fault.” or “I know I’m late,but it’s not my fault; the car broke down.” It is probably not your fault, but once you form the habit of blaming somebody or something else for a bad situation, you are a loser. You have no power and could do nothing that helps change the situation. However, you can have great power over what happens to you if you stop focusing on whom to blame and start focusing on how to remedy the situation. This is the winner’s key to success.
Winners are great at overcoming problems. For example, if you were late because your car broke down, maybe you need to have your car examined more regularly. Or, you might start to carry along with you the useful phone numbers, so you could call for help when in need. For another example, if your colleague causes you problems on the job for lack of responsibility or ability, find ways of dealing with his irresponsibility or inability rather than simply blame the person. Ask to work with a different person, or don’t rely on this person. You should accept that the person is not reliable and find creative ways to work successfully regardless of how your colleague fails to do his job well.
This is what being a winner is all about—creatively using your skills and talents so that you are successful no matter what happens. Winners don’t have fewer problems in their lives; they have just as many difficult situations to face as anybody else. They are just better at seeing those problems as challenges and opportunities to develop their own talents. So, stop focusing on “whose fault it is.” Once you are confident about your power over bad situations, problems are just stepping stones for success.

Making friends is a skill. Like most skills, it    patience. If you want to meet people and make friends, you must be willing to    some action. You must first go where there are people. You won’t make friends staying home   .
Joining a club or group, talking to those who like the same things     you do is much easier. Or join someone      some activity.
Many people are    when talking to new people.   all, meeting strangers means seeing the unknown .And it’s human nature to feel a bit    about the unknown. Most of fears about       new people come from doubts about    .We imagine other people are    us——finding us too tall or too short, too this or too that. But don’t forget that they must be feeling the same way. Try to accept yourself      you are, and try to put the other at ease. You’ll both feel more comfortable.
Try to act self-confident even    you don’t feel that way when you    a room full of strangers. Walk tall and straight, look at other people directly and    .
If you see someone you’d like to    , say something. Don’t wait for      person to start a talk.
Just meeting someone      does not mean that you’ll make friends with that person.   is based on mutual(相互的) likings and “give and take”. It takes time to

Happiness is for everyone. You don" t need to care about those people who have beautiful houses with large gardens and swimming pools or those who have nice cars and a lot of money and so on. Why? Because those who have big houses may often feel lonely and those who have cars may want to walk on the country roads at their free time.
In fact, happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it. When you are in trouble at school, your friends will help you; when you study hard at your lessons, your parents are always taking good care of your life and your health; when you get success, your friends will say congratulations to you; when you do something wrong, people around you will help you to correct it. And when you do something good to others, you will feel happy, too. All these are your happiness. If you notice a bit of them, you can see that happiness is always around you.
Happiness is not the same as money. It is a feeling of your heart. When you are poor, you can also say you are very happy, because you have something else that can" t be bought with money. When you meet with difficulties, you can say loudly you are very happy, because you have more chances to challenge yourself. So you cannot always say you are poor and you have bad luck. As the saying goes, life is like a revolving(旋转的)door. When it closes, it also opens. If you take every chance you get, you can be a happy and lucky person.
