战胜命运的孩子

    有两个孩子:一个喜欢弹琴,想当音乐家;一个爱好绘画,想当美术家。

不幸得很!想当音乐家的孩子,突然耳朵聋了;想当美术家的孩子,忽然眼睛瞎了。

    孩子们非常伤心,痛苦万分,埋怨命运不好。

    恰巧,有位老人从他们身边经过,听见了他们的埋怨。老人走上前去,先对耳朵聋了的孩子比划着说:“你的耳朵虽然坏了,但眼睛还是明亮的,为什么不改学绘画呢?”接着,他又对眼睛瞎的孩子说:“你的眼睛尽管坏了,但耳朵还是灵敏的,为什么不改学弹琴呢?”

    孩子们听了,心里一亮,他们擦干眼泪,开始了新的追求。

说也奇怪,改学绘画的孩子,渐渐感到耳聋反而更好。因为它可以避免一切喧闹的干扰,使精力高度专注。改学弹琴的孩子,慢慢觉得失明反倒有利。因为,它可以免除许多无谓的烦恼,使心思无比集中。

    果然,耳聋的孩子,后来成了美术家,名扬四海;眼瞎的孩子,终于成为音乐家,闻名天下。

    一天,美术家和音乐家又遇见了那位老人,他俩非常激动,拉着老人连连道谢。

    老人笑着说:“不用谢。事实证明,只要努力,当命运堵塞一条道路的时候,它,常常还会留下另一条道路的!”

                                                                                                      Ways to save time

    We all wish we had just a bit more time. Just think what you could do with an extra hour or two each day: you could finally stick to an exercise routine, or spring­clean the house, or write your novel, or learn the guitar and so on.

    ____But I can help you find more hours in your day for the things that really matter.

    Get Out of Bed Earlier

    If you normally get up at 7:30 am, try getting up at 7:00 am. That half­hour might not sound like much, but it could be time that you use to exercise, to read that book you've been meaning to finish.____

    Do the Important Tasks First

    Once you get to work, get the important ones done first (not the easy ones, or even the urgent ones). You can afford to spend at least an hour working on big, important tasks rather than on all those little urgent ones.____The urgent tasks will still get done, and you won't miss the important ones.

    Reduce Interruptions

    If colleagues have a habit of hanging around your desk to chat, or if the phone is constantly ringing, you might find that it takes you half the day to finish a simple task like writing a letter. Constant interruptions don't just eat up time, they also break your concentration.When you've got a big task to focus on, let your calls go to voicemail.____  Wearing headphones makes it less likely that people will try to strike up a conversation.

    ____

    A few minutes chatting, browsing the web, and so on, can easily turn into hours of wasted time over the course of a day.

    When you're working, work. If your concentration is slipping, take a proper break, go and get a glass of water, or stretch your legs a bit. And if you're facing a difficult task, try breaking it into small steps or stages so that it's easier to deal with.

A. Or simply to get your day off to a calm and organized start.

B. I can't magically make all your days 25 hours long.

C. Would you want me to make your day longer?

D. Take Breaks When Necessary

E. If you have an office door, close it.

F. If you work like this, you'll usually save time.

G. Stay Focused on Your Work
