    One of the easiest things in the world is to become a fault-finder. However, life can be 1when you are not busy finding fault with it.

    Several years ago I2a letter from seventeen-year-old Kerry, who described herself as a world-class fault-finder, almost always 3by things. People were always doing things that annoyed her, and 4was ever good enough. She was highly self-critical and also found fault with her friends. She became a really 5person.

    Unfortunately, it took a horrible accident to change her 6Her best friend was seriously hurt in a car crash. What made it almost 7to deal with was that the day before the 8, Kerry had visited her friend and had spent the whole time criticizing her 9 of boyfriends, the way she was living, the way she related to her mother, and various other things she felt she needed to 10It wasn't until her friend was badly hurt that Kerry became 11her habit of finding fault. Very quickly, she learned to appreciate life rather than to 12 everything so harshly ( 刻薄) . She was able to transfer her new wisdom to other parts of her13as well.

    Perhaps most of us aren't as extreme at fault-finding,14 when we're honest, we can be sharply 15of  the world. I'm not suggesting you16problems, or that you pretend things are17than they are, but simply that you learn to allow things to be as they are—18most of the time, and especially when it's not a really big 19 .

    Train yourself to "bite your tongue" , and with a little 20, you'll get really good at letting things go. And when you do, you'll get back your enthusiasm and love for life.

低头与昂首

    ①富兰克林被称为美国之父。在谈起成功之道时，他说这一切源于一次拜访。在他年轻的时候，一位老前辈请他到一座低矮的小茅屋中见面。富兰克林来了，他挺起胸膛，大步流星，一进门，“砰”的一声，额头重重地撞在门框上，顿时肿了起来，疼得他哭笑不得。老前辈看到他这副样子，笑了笑说：“很疼吧？你知道吗？这是你今天最大的收获。一个人要想洞察世事，练达人情，就必须时刻记住低头。”

    ②富兰克林把这次拜访当成一次悟道，他牢牢记住了老前辈的教导，把谦虚列为他一生的生活准则。

    ③一支高昂的曲子，它的开端常常是低调的。这在音乐上叫作“软起首”，一开始就把调门定得老高，后面的旋律就无法进行，再美的歌也唱不出来。要想把一颗钉子钉进木板，先要把它的头削尖。低头，既是把自己摆在一个恰当的位置上，也是对他人的一种尊重。什么时候都高昂着头，实际上是抬高自己，看低别人，你瞧不起别人，人家干吗要瞧得起你呢？即使你再优秀再有名，也没有人愿意与你合作。

    ④低头是我们做人的“软起首”，但这并不意味着把自己不当人。低头不应该是流水，越流越低。一支曲子，越唱越低，就会唱不下去；一颗钉子，后面越来越小，也同样钉不牢木板，有人把低头理解为唯唯诺诺、忍让一切，理解为逆来顺受、低声下气，这是不正确的。有这样的一个故事：有个公司招聘员工，门外排着长长的队伍，应聘者一个接一个进去接受考试。每进去一个人，主考官不由分说，凌空劈来一记耳光，主考官问：“这是什么滋味？”捂着脸出来的人都落选了，他们是低头的人。后来，有个年轻人进去，主考官同样劈来一记耳光，主考官问：“这是什么滋味？”年轻人定了定神，以同样的速度、同样的力量，给主考官同样一记耳光，说：“就是这个滋味。”出人意料的是，这个年轻人被录用了。

    ⑤富兰克林以低头抵达成功，年轻人却以昂头被录用，这是不是人生的悖论呢？

    ⑥不，其实为人处世真正的法则是把自己摆在一个恰当的位置上：在摆放自己处的位置时，我们应该是富兰克林；而在摆放我们自己心的位置时，我们必须是那个年轻人。也就是说，我们应该低头处世，昂首做人。

据报道：目前我国已迈入老龄化社会，在以后的30年里,中国人口老龄化将呈现加速发展态势,预计到2050年60岁及以上老人将超过30%，进入深度老龄化阶段。届时将会对我国社会经济发展和人们生活产生的影响是（   ）
