Trust—the Foundation of Relationships

Can you imagine an organization without trust, where the workers are suspicious(怀疑的)of one another? Are you willing to work with a manager who is quick to put down any potential worker that might take his place? As a leader, you must do your best to build trust in your followers. It is not about mastering techniques to win people over; it is about living a life full of honor and gaining the respect of your followers. 【小题1】.

·Build your character

Trust is based on a very simple foundation. Will you do what you say? Do your words count for something? 【小题2】. If you’re a person who cannot seem to live up to what you say, you have to work on it first. Before you can expect others to trust you, you have to do what you Say.

·【小题3】

Another thing that a leader should have is to trust others first. Laozi, a Chinese philosopher, once said, “He who does not trust enough, will not be trusted.” Trusting others means you don’t micromanage their behavior or activities. 【小题4】. All these actions give your followers an assurance that you are indeed trusting their ability and character.

·Just take your time

【小题5】. Building trust is like making small deposits in a bank account; you make small deposits every month that add up to a considerable amount at the end of many years. Similarly, as you lead, it is in the small events that you will display your credibility as a leader that will accumulate that trust for you. Gradually, you will find you have in your hands an effective team that moves fast and works closely together.

Learn to trust, and learn to be trusted.

How to Boost Your Memory

The brain might be the place where memories are stored, and its memory capacity can be enlarged. 【小题1】Taking steps to improve your lifestyle in the following four areas will help keep your mind sharp.

●【小题2】 Exercise helps with the activity of brain cells and also helps reduce the risk of brain diseases. It also helps brain cells repair themselves and their connections to other brain cells. Memory can improve in both brain-healthy older adults and with mild brain disorder after a 12-week exercise program.

●Getting sugar from fruits and vegetables instead of products with added sugars is healthier for body and brain. Too much sugar restricts blood flow to the brain and can even cause brain illness. The real brain foods are those called the mind diet. 【小题3】

●Sleep is critical for memory formation, especially long-term memory formation. That’s because when you’re asleep, the brain, runs the tape of what it recorded during the day, gets rid of information that isn’t relevant and then stores other information for the long term. 【小题4】 The more you can keep a regular sleep schedule, the better off your brain and the rest of you will be.

●Challenging your brain is of great benefit, too. Maybe you’re a crazy bridge player, a crossword puzzle lover or a regular lecturer. 【小题5】 To get the most memory boost out of puzzles or intellectual activities, the key is to keep things fresh and challenging. New and challenging activities help form new pathways in the brain.
