If you live in a city where everyone rushes, you should realize that you don’t have to be like everyone else.【小题1】Here are some tips to consider and perhaps to adopt, if they work for your life.

Cut back on your projects, on your task list, on how much you try to do each day. Focus not on quantity but on quality. Pick 2 or 3 important things — or even just one important thing — and work on those first.【小题2】

If you’re constantly rushing to appointments or other places you have to be, it’s because you don’t allot (分配) enough time in your schedule for preparing and for traveling. Arrange your schedule to allow time for this stuff. If you think it only takes you 10 minutes to get ready for work or a date, perhaps give yourself 30 to 45 minutes so you don’t have to shave in a rush or put on makeup in the car.

【小题4】 I know that’s a frustrating attitude for some of you who don’t like laziness or living without firm deadlines, but it's also reality．The world likely won’t end if you don’t get that task done today. Your boss might get mad, but the company won’t collapse and the life will go on.

Simply learn to live in the present, rather than thinking so much about the future or the past. When you eat, fully appreciate your food．【小题5】 When you’re walking, appreciate your surroundings, no matter where you are.

Quick Reference Guide for Lockdowns

This information is provided as a guideline for actions in the event of a lockdown. Always remember that the first priority is the safety and protection of life.

Lockdowns

A lockdown is the act of keeping students and personnel in a secured location until an emergency or threat is over. You may be required to lockdown your room or facility when a dangerous person or situation is present on or near your site.

Activating a Lockdown:

● A lockdown may be ordered by a principal, site administrator or Student & Community Services (SCS).

● Staff should direct students inside to the nearest room. Do a verbal and visual sweep as you lockdown to get everyone inside.

● If possible, report your attendance, including any extra people in your room, to the office.

● Staff should lock all doors and windows leading to your room. Close all window coverings.

● All students and staff should remain away from doors and windows. If you hear gunfire or someone trying to enter your room, instruct all students and staff to “Drop, Cover and Hold” under desks.

● Under no circumstances will students or staff open a door or window once it has been secured until the lockdown is officially over. When the lockdown is over the “All Clear signal will sound.”

Deactivating a Lockdown:

● A lockdown will be deactivated by the site administrator or Student & Community Services with an “All Clear” signal (which may be an announcement, bell signal etc., to be determined by site administrator).

● All students and staff should return to their assigned rooms or workstations. Staff should account for all students and inform the principal or site administrator of anybody missing.

● The site administrator will assign staff to walk the campus or workplace to ensure that everyone is aware of the deactivation.

The first and most simple step you can take to improve your personality is to give everyone a warm greeting. People will perceive you as friendly and kind if you smile when you see them. Flash your pearly whites and shake their hands or hug them.【小题1】Use the appropriate titles, such as Dr., when greeting someone. Show special respect to elders, always referring to them as Mr. or Mrs. /Ms.

When you meet someone, don't go on and on about yourself.【小题2】Ask them questions about themselves that require more than a “yes” or “no” answer.

Those who have good personalities are often very reliable and trustworthy people. If you tell someone you'll do something, don't make excuses!【小题3】

Always look for little opportunities to help others. See someone struggling to get a book off a high shelf?【小题4】Or perhaps you're on a bus and a woman with a cane enters. Offer her your seat! Personality is created in part by all of the kindness you show for others, so get started today! Continue doing these things even if they don't come naturally.【小题5】If you find it hard to adapt any of these new behaviors, then focus on faking it until they become more comfortable for you.
