Every person wants to achieve the goals set at the beginning of a new school year. The following are some ways to help you achieve your goals.
●1.When it comes to choosing your goal, ensure that it states precisely what it is that you want to achieve. Don’t generalize. Your goal should involve both what you want to achieve and the effort that you will put in to achieve it.
●2.Having a copy of your goal makes it real. You can write you goal in a journal you’ll be keeping all year, or you can write it on a poster and stick it on your desk so that you can look at it each day. Every time you remind yourself of your goal, you’re training your brain to accept the effort needed to make the goal happen.
●Try various methods. One may not work while another may be just right for you. 3.Some people learn best through writing, some through listening and reading, and some through talking it through. Once you realize which way works for you, you can work better and achieve your goal easily.
●Think positive. 4.Negative thoughts are unhelpful and they became roadblocks. Stop telling yourself you can’t and start telling yourself you can, and talk about you are doing rather than hoping you can do something. Always believe that you’re capable, even if you have difficulty along the way.
●Reward yourself along the way. 5.Occasionally, when you’ve achieved certain “milestones” in your goal plan, take a break and reward yourself. Watch a movie, visit a friend who lives across town, go to the ice cream shop with your friends or buy yourself something new.
A. Write down your goal.
B. Choose specific and realistic gals
C. Be aware of the way you learn best
D. Remember that everyone makes mistakes
E. Set aside some time each week for exercise
F. All study and no reward can break your spirit
G. If you’re not in the right state of mind, you won’t be able to succeed.
True happiness is such a rare commodity(有价值之物)that the whole of the world is continuously seeking it and failing to find it. Why is happiness such an elusive(难捉摸的) thing? Is it that it cannot simply be achieved? Or is it that it is not where all of us have been looking for it?
What is it that we consider happiness? This is how I see it: Happiness is what you feel when what you want to happen happens. And the then we can conclude that unhappiness is what we feel when what we want to happen does not happen.
The main keyword in definition is "want". The whole trouble starts when we want something. Every moment of our lives we keep on wanting something or the other. Only a small percentage of all our wishes is fulfilled in spite of all our endeavors(努力). The frustration of failing to fulfill most of our wishes sets in. We start feeling weighed down. Desire is a seed which grows fruits of unhappiness. Actually the trouble is that we demand too much. The only solution to this problem is to break out of this cycle of desires and struggles.
Actually, happiness and unhappiness are two sides of the same coin. The desire for happiness is like asking only for the light and not for darkness. But there is not much difference between light and darkness. It is matter of degree only.
If we think deeper, we will realize that it is this pain of failure, pain of frustrated desires which is of greater significance to us. It is actually like good health. One can only define health as an absence of diseases. In order to have good health we strive to avoid diseases. You cannot purchase or achieve good health directly. You have to take steps which keep your body free of diseases. Then only the organs of body keep functioning properly and you experience good health. Similarly, when one destroys the root cause of unhappiness, the problems are over. And the root cause of all our unhappiness is DESIRE.
1.According to the author, happiness means that_______
A. you have much money B. you can experience everything
C. you’re living healthily D. your wishes come true
2.Which of the following can best replace the underlined words “weighed down” in Paragraph 3?
A. Crazy B. Worried
C. Interested D. Serious
3.By discussing how people keep healthy, the author tries to_______.
A. remind people to find the direct cause of their unhappiness
B. show what people really desire
C. stress physical health and mental health are both important
D. offer ways to find the root cause of unhappiness
4.What can be concluded from the passage?
A. In fact, it takes people much to feel happy
B. No people are willing to limit their desires
C. While seeking happiness, you have to accept unhappiness
D. To have good health, people should try to feel happy
