第43章 通往成功的第一步 (15)

If we view our lives as a juggling act or a sort of sporting contest, we learn to go along with the limitations and obstacles that are dealt us. We then find ways to make it through the event in good shape and with energy. Different talents and strengths will be called upon to get through the obstacles. Our faith, humor, and hope may be tested, but they are what keeps us going as we try to overcome the various obstacles.

Discrimination and prejudice are challenges. We force ourselves to work twice as hard as others; however, the rewards from our work are ours to enjoy. The important thing is to be working at something we find meaningful and worthwhile.

To succeed, you must accept challenges. There will always be barriers, cultural differences, and lack of understanding around us, but it is beneficial for us to stay together, be sensitive to each other needs, and to help each other. Maintaining cultural diversity and integrity is possible as a healthy community builds on teamwork, praise, pride and enthusiasm. Once, we are dedicated to improve critical skills such as knowledge sharing, collaboration, flexibility and risk taking, we will improve our future.

Together, we can make our world a better place in which to live by changing the way we and the rest of the population view it—positively. Let's make this challenge a reality.

面对生活中的尴尬和艰辛,我们应该轻易悲痛吗?或者,我们是否应该直面阻碍,接受它的挑战呢?选择不同的立场,可能使自己成为被压抑的牺牲品。不论发生什么事,我们都可以把它当成生活中某种不祥的征兆。很多时候,我们需要确定自己作出的选择,是受智慧的指引还是恐惧的驱使。

如果把生活比喻成杂耍,或是一种体育竞赛,我们就会认同那些设置的限制和阻碍,然后寻找方法,集中精力去跨越。我们需要不同的才能和力量以清除障碍;我们的信念、幽默和希望都可能受到考验,但它们在我们全力克服各种困难的过程中,促进了我们的成长。

歧视和偏见都是挑战。我们迫使自己付出比别人更多的努力,但是,工作的回报由自己享用。重要的是,我们要从事那些更有意义和价值的工作。

要获得成功,你必须接受挑战。通常,各种障碍如文化差异、缺乏了解等困扰着我们,但团结一致,相互帮助,敏锐察觉彼此的需要,有利于我们的成长。只有处于一个建立在合作、荣耀、自豪和热情之上的健康社会中时,我们才有可能保持文化的差异性和完整性。只要我们致力于提高如知识共享、团结协作、随机应变和敢于冒险等重要技能,我们的未来就会更加美好。

团结起来吧!通过改变我们和他人看待问题的方式,我们就能使这个世界更加美好,让我们勇敢地迎接挑战吧!

Exercise Your Head

It goes without saying that exercise is good for your body, but what many don't realize is that it's also good for your mind. No, we don't mean that weight training will suddenly turn you into an Einstein—but study has found that working out regularly improves your mood, boosts your sense of self-esteem and even enhances the function of your brain.

As with other aspects of the health connection between mind and body, scientists are only beginning to understand why physical workouts also provide a mental and emotional boost. But many possibilities are already known, and new research is continually going forward. For those in search of mental as well as physical motivation, here are 12 extra reasons to begin a workout program for the new millennium.

1. Working out can give you a sense of exhilaration and accomplishment, and the increased self-esteem that results from doing something you know is good for you.

2. Exercise causes your body to produce endorphins, the chemicals that dull pain and help produce what's known as the exercise high.

3. Weight-bearing exercise particularly raises your testosterone levels, which can help improve your mood, especially if your levels are naturally on the low side.
