Seeing the Good in Others
Many interactions these days have a kind of bumper-car (碰碰车) quality to them. At work, at home, on the telephone, or via email, we bounce off each other while we exchange information, smile or frown, and move on.
Unfortunately, if you feel surrounded by lots of bad qualities in others, you naturally feel less supported, less safe, and less likely to be generous or pursue your dreams. Plus, it functions oppositely.
Slow down. Step out of the bumper car and spend a few moments being curious about the good qualities in the other person.
See positive intentions. Recently, I was at the dentist’s, and her assistant told me a long story about her electric company. My mouth was full of cotton wads, and I didn’t feel interested. But then I started noticing her underlying aims: to put me at ease, fill the time until she could pull the cotton out, and connect with each other as people.
See positive character traits. Unless you’re surrounded by deadbeats and sociopaths, everyone you know must have many virtues, such as determination, generosity, kindness, patience, energy, grit, honesty, fairness, or compassion. Take a moment to observe virtues in others.

G.When another person feels that you don’t really see much that’s good in him or her, that person is less likely to take the time to see much that’s good in you. |
Good study habits are what separate the good students from the ordinary. It’s natural for one not to want to study, especially when there are video games to play, friends to gossip with and exciting TV programs to watch. After a good study session, you will enjoy all those activities even more.
Pick a place to study. If you find the right place and keep coming back to it, you will be able to focus when the time comes to read the books. Find a place where you can spread out your materials.

Sometimes boys and girls find it really hard to properly deal with the relationship with people of the opposite sex.
Keep a normal and healthy state of mind. Our schools and classes are made up of boys and girls.
Don’t fall into early love. The boys and girls at a adolescence (青春期) are rich in feeling. They are easy to regard the friendship as a sign of love and fall in love with each other at an early age. In my opinion, early love is a green apple that can’t be eaten. An apple won’t taste sweet until it is full ripe.

How fast we work doesn't just depend on the difficulty of what we are working on; it also depends on how well our brain is functioning. To a large extent, how we deal with work matters a lot.
Designate time for “THINK WORK”. Late morning is an excellent time for most people to tackle their most difficult work, as alertness tends to be high and willpower is not yet depleted.
Change things up in the afternoon. Our self-discipline and ability to focus is like a muscle in that it gets tired over the course of a day. This makes afternoons an ideal time to catch up with colleagues or schedule meetings and appointments.
Take breaks throughout the day.
A.Make a good plan. |
B.Complete tasks effectively. |
