That morning, I stepped into the classroom, ready to share my knowledge and experience with seventy-five students who would be my English Literature class. Having taught in for seventeen years, I had no about my ability to hold their attention and toimpress on them my for the literature of my mother tongue.
As I entered the room, I was when the monitor shouted: “Stand up!” The entire class rose, and I was somewhat about how to get them to sit down again. Once that awkwardness was over, I quickly my calmness and began what I thought was an informed lecture, sure to gain their respect — perhaps their admiration. I went back to my office with the rosy glow which came from a sense of achievement.
I asked my students to keep as homework. However, as I read them, the rosy glow was gradually by a strong sense of sadness. The first diary said, “Our literature teacher didn’t teach us anything today. her next lecture will be better.” Greatly surprised, I read diary after diary, each expressing a theme. “Didn’t I teach them anything? I described the entire philosophical framework of Western thought and laid the historical for all the works we’ll study in class,” I complained. “How they say I didn’t teach them anything?”
It was a long term, and it became clear that my ideas about were not the same as those of my students. I thought a teacher’s job was to raise questions and provide enough background so that students could their own conclusions. My students thought a teacher’s job was to provide information as directly and clearly as possible. What a difference!
, I benefited a lot, for my experience with my Chinese students has made me a American teacher, knowing how to teach in a different culture.

In 1982, Steven Callahan was crossing the Atlantic alone in his sailboat when it struck something and sank. He got into a life boat, but his supplies were . His chances of surviving were small. when three fishermen found him 76 days later, he was alive —much than he was when he started, but alive.
His of how he survived is fascinating. His cleverness —how he to catch fish, how he evaporated (蒸发) sea water to fresh water—is very interesting.
But the thing that my eye was how he managed to keep himself going when all hope seemed lost, and there seemed no in continuing the struggle. He was starved and worn-out. Giving up would have seemed the only possible choice.
When people these kinds of circumstances, they do something with their minds that gives them the courage to keep going. Many people in desperate circumstances in or go mad. Something the survivors do with their thoughts helps them find the courage to carry on difficulties.
“I tell myself I can it,” wrote Callahan in his book. “Compared to what others have been through, I’m fortunate. I tell myself these things over and over, up courage…”
I wrote that down after I read it. It me as something important. And I’ve told myself the same thing when my own goals seemed off or when my problems seemed too terrible. And every time I’ve said it, I have always come back to my .
The truth is, our circumstances are only bad to something better. But others have been through the much worse, that is, in comparison with what others have been through, you’re fortunate. Tell this to yourself over and over again, and it will help you through the rough situations with a little more courage.

A man hired a taxi outside the airfield. The cab had a woolen carpet with 26 lace edges. On the glass partition that 27 the driver's seat was a copy of a famous painting. Its windows were all clean.The customer was very much 28 and said to the driver, “I've never seen a nicer 29 .”“Thank you for your praise.”the driver answered 30 .
“The car isn't mine,” said the driver. “It belongs to the company. I used to be a 31 of cabs. When they returned, all of them were as 32 as garbage cans with cigarette butts and rubbish 33 here and there. On the seats and door-handles could be found something 34 like peanut sauce or, chewing gum.Why so? I thought if the car itself were very clean the passengers would most 35 be considerate and refrain from littering.”
“So when I got a 36 to be a taxi-driver, I began 37 my idea into practice-to tidy and 38 the car. Now before a new passenger gets on my car, I'd make a cheek and be sure it is in good order.When my car 39 after a day's work, it always remains 40 .”
When doing a thing, one makes efforts and wants to see the result. To change others, one has to make twice the 41 but get half the result. To change oneself is the other way round-more fruit with less effort. One had better ask oneself why one makes 42 on others much more than on oneself. 43 you take enough care to do as best you can for other people's sake, your efforts will yield results, If you 44 the inner world of your own, examine yourself and wipe out the dust and dirt, instead of fixing your eyes on other people, you will find a cheerful 45 for yourself and create a pleasant environment for others.
