specific timeline, there are several factors to consider when deciding when to move. Keep in mind
that these factors could also be part of a negotiation deal with your employer if you are being
relocated or if starting a new position.
If you have children at home, it is best to work around the school calendar. Summer is an ideal
time, as children have completed another grade and have said their goodbyes to school friends.
Planning to move directly following the end of school, however, does not give your children time
to adapt to the idea of moving, to say goodbye to neighborhood friends and their home. When
setting the date, allow a few weeks at the new destination for children to unpack and meet new
neighborhood friends. They will be better prepared for the school year if they have time to make
their new house their home. Too much change can be detrimental to performance and emotional
wellbeing.
What works best for your children also works best for you. As part of the settling in process,
take a few days for you and your children to check out the new school, meet some teachers and
find appropriate transportation. Both you and your children will be better prepared, leading to a
smoother transition.
When possible, avoid moving before major holidays, such as Christmas, since part of such
holidays is being with family and friends. Birthdays, and other family events can also be difficult.
Give yourself enough time in your new place before the holiday season begins to meet new people
and feel a sense of community. Better yet, save your move for immediately following a holiday.
Holidays provide a perfect opportunity for goodbyes and final gettogethers.
Most people would agree that summer is the best time to move. Children are out of school, the
weather is almost guaranteed to be perfect and friends are available to help. If this is your ideal time
to move, make sure you check moving company schedules and rates before confirming your move
date. Most companies have peak times and will charge higher rates accordingly. Also, if you are
planning to move at peak times, you will need to be better organized to ensure that a moving company
or a moving truck is available for the date and times you require. Keep in mind that the level of the
service often changes between the summer months, when students replace fulltime experienced movers,
and offseason.
As much as summer could cost you more, winter, as common sense indicates, is also not an ideal
time to move. Travel is difficult, both for you and your family, along with the moving company. Items
kept overnight in a truck under freezing conditions may result in damaged goods. If you are moving
from one climate to another, water damage may occur when the mode of transport that is moving your
household items travels from a cold environment to a warmer climate. Freezing and thawing cause the
most damage if items are not properly sealed.
B. pack their package
C. say goodbye to neighborhood friends
D. complete their grades
B. Moving company schedules.
C. The changeable level of the service.
D. Without friends" help.
B. Vacations.
C. Major holidays.
D. Summer.

and were greeted with a sign on the front door. The sign said: "Yesterday the person who has been
hindering (阻碍) your growth in this company passed away. We invite you to join the funeral (葬礼)
in the room that has been prepared in the gym."
At first everyone was sad to hear that one of their colleagues had died, but after a while they
started getting curious about who this person might be.
The excitement grew as the employees arrived at the gym to pay their last respects. Everyone
wondered: "Who is this person that was hindering my progress? Well, at least he"s no longer here."
One by one the employees got closer to the coffin (棺材) and when they looked inside it they
became speechless. They stood over the coffin, shocked and in silence, as if someone had touched
the deepest part of their soul.
There was a mirror inside the coffin. Everyone who looked inside it could see himself. There was
also a sign next to the mirror that said: "There is only one person who can set limits to your growth: it
is YOU."
You are the only person who can revolutionize (彻底改变) your life. You are the only person who
can influence your happiness, your realization and your success. You are the only person who can help
yourself.

changes, and when your company changes.

that you are the only one responsible for your life.

unfortunately there is a big hill on the route. He replied, "You mean fortunately." He explained
that I should be glad of the extra exercise that the hill provided.
My attitude to the hill has now changed. I used to grumble as I approached it but now I tell
myself the following. This hill will exercise my heart and lungs. It will help me to lose weight and
get fit. It will mean that I live longer. This hill is my friend. Finally I comfort myself with the thought
of all those silly people who pay money to go to a gym and sit on stationery exercise bicycles when
I can get the same value for free. I have a smile of satisfaction as I reach the top of the hill.
Problems are there to be faced and overcome. We cannot achieve anything with an easy life.
Helen Keller was the first deaf and blind person to gain a university degree. Her activism and
writing proved inspirational. She wrote, "Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only
through experiences of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, vision cleared, ambition
inspired and success achieved."
One of the main determinants of success in life is our attitude towards adversity (逆境). From
time to time we all face hardships, problems, accidents, afflictions and difficulties. Some are of
our making but many confront us through no fault of our own. While we cannot choose the
adversity we can choose our attitude towards it.
Douglas Bader was 21 when in 1931 he had both legs cut off following a flying accident. He
was determined to fly again and went on to become one of the leading flying aces in the Battle of
Britain with 22 aerial victories over the Germans. He was an inspiration to others during the war.
He said, "Don"t listen to anyone who tells you that you can"t do this or that. That"s nonsense.
Make up your mind, you"ll never use crutches (拐杖) or a stick, then have a go at everything. Go
to school, join in all the games you can. Go anywhere you want to. But never, never let them
persuade you that things are too difficult or impossible."
The biographies(传记)of great people are full of examples of how they took steps to overcome
the difficulties they faced. The common thread is that they did not become depressed. They chose
their attitude. They chose to be positive. They took on the challenge. They won.
