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
situation 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.

investigations (调查) are almost always carried out by teams of people working together. Ideas are
shared, experiences are designed, data are analyzed, and results are evaluated and shared with other
investigators. Group work is necessary, and is usually more productive than working alone.
Several times throughout the year you may be asked to work with one or more of your classmates.
Whatever teh task your group is assigned, a few rules need to be followed to ensure a productive and
successful experience.
What comes first is to keep an open mind, becasue everyone"s ideas deserve consideration and each
group member can make his or her own contribution. Secondly, it makes a job easier to divide the group
task among all group members. Choose a role on the team that is best suited to your particular strengths.
Thirdly, always work together, take turns, and encourage each other by listening, clarifying, and trusting
one another. Mutual support and trust often make a great difference.
Activities like investigations are most effective when done by small groups. Here are some more
suggestions for effective team performance during these activities: Make sure each group member
understands and agrees to the task given to him or her, and everyone knows exactly when, why and
what to do; take turns doing various tasks during similar and repeated activities; be aware of where other
group members are and what they are doing so as to ensure safety; be responsible for your own learning,
though it is by no means unwise to compare your observations with those of other group members.
When there is research to be done, divide the topic into several areas, and this can explore the issue
in a very detailed way. You are encouraged to keep records of the sources used each person, which helps
you trace back to the origin of the problems that may happen unexpectedly. A format for exchanging
information (e.g. photocopies of notes, oral discussion, etc.) is also important, for a well-chosen method
not only strengthens what you present but also makes yourself easily understood. When the time comes
to make a decision and take a position on an issue, allow for the contributions of each member of the
group. Most important of all, it is always wise to make decisions by compromise and agreement.
After you"ve completed a task with your team, make an evaluation of the team"s effectiveness-the
strengths and weaknesses, opportunities and challenges.

| Learning to Accept I learned how to accept life as it is from my father. 1 , he did not teach me acceptance when he was strong and healthy, but rather when he was 2 and ill. My father was 3 a strong man who loved being active, but a terrible illness 4 all that away. Now he can no longer walk, and he must sit quietly in a chair all day. Even talking is 5 . One night. I went to visit him with my sisters. We started 6 about life, and I told them about one of my 7 . I said that we must very often give things up 8 , we grow－our youth, our beauty, our friends－but it always 9 that after we give something up, we gain something new in its place. Then suddenly my father 10 up. He said, "But, Peter, I gave up 11 ! What did I gain?" I thought and thought, but I could not think of anything to say, 12 , he answered his own question:"I 13 the love of my family." I looked at my sisters and saw tears in their eyes, along with hope and thankfulness. I was also 14 by his words. After that, when I began to feel irritated (恼怒的) at someone, I 15 remember his words and become 16 . If he could replace his great pain with a feeling of love for others, then I should be 17 to give up my small irritations. In this 18 . I learned the power of acceptance from my father. Sometimes I 19 what other things I could have learned from him if I had listened more carefully when I was a boy. For now, though, I am grateful for this one 20 . | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
