A beautiful，young girl is smiling at me from a picture frame on my desk as I write this.

The joy that helping her gives me，however，is _________ price，which I never experienced in my life. It _________ me to her，to life，and to love.

I can _________ remember the first time that I decided to help a child _________. It was many years ago. I was only a teenager myself and for the first time in my life I had a little extra money each month. I didn't feel like _________ anything，though. We lost everything we had in a house fire a few years ago and going through that had __________ me a lot. I had learned that I didn't need a lot of "stuff" to be __________. I had also read a lot about the __________ of children in poor countries around the world. It seemed like a far better thing then to __________ what I could to help them.

Afterwards，we sat down on a bench，looking at the garden. As we were __________ there，Alice looked up at me and said，"What a __________ day today！"I smiled at her and agreed. I then started __________ what we had done today. We did something quite ___________，yet we were very happy.

Many people wait for their "best days". But I think today is our ___________ day. That's a lesson I ___________ today. As adults，we often make plans ___________in order to have a great day. Some people think that they can have a nice day through spending a lot of ___________. I think we should be more like ___________.They don't think about money or what will happen tomorrow.

   Our most commonly held code for success is broken. Conventional wisdom（普遍看法）holds that if we work hard we will be more successful，and if we are more successful，then we’ll be happy. If we can just find that great job，win that next promotion，lose those five pounds，happiness will follow. But recent discoveries in the field of positive psychology have shown that this code is actually backward：Happiness fuels success，not the other way around. When we are positive，our brains become more engaged，creative，motivated，energetic，and productive at work. These discoveries have been repeatedly proved by rigid research in psychology and neuroscience（神经科学），management studies，and the bottom lines of organizations around the globe.

In The Happiness Advantage，Shawn Achor，who spent over a decade living，researching，and lecturing at Harvard University，draws on his own research—including one of the largest studies of happiness and potential at Harvard and others at companies like UBS to fix this broken code. Using stories and case studies from his work with CEOs of Fortune 500 in 42 countries，Achor explains how we can reprogram our brains to become more positive in order to gain a competitive ability at work.

Based on seven practical，actionable principles that have been tried and tested everywhere from classrooms to boardrooms，stretching from Argentina to Zimbabwe，he shows us how we can capitalize on The Happiness Advantage to improve our performance and maximize our potential.

A must-read for everyone trying to stand out in a world of increasing workloads and stress，The Happiness Advantage isn’t only about how to become happier at work. It’s about how to get the benefits of a happier and more positive mode of thinking to achieve the extraordinary in our work and in our lives.

In our daily life, if we want to do our work good, we must learn what to work together with others. Working together can save us time and energy. Beside, we can learn much from our partners by working with them.

Work with those we like can be joy. We can share pleasure and sad with them. But it challenged us to work with people we dislike. In such situation, just pay attention on the work itself. Perhaps by working together for a long time, we’ll find it that they are easy to get along with.
