Who is pulling your string? For the majority of us.it’s other people-society, colleagues.friends.family or our religious community.We learned this way of operating when we were very young.of course.We were brainwashed.We discovered that feeling important and feeling accepted was a nice experience and so we learned to do everything we could to make other people like us.As Oscar Wilde puts it. Most people are other people.Their thought are someone else’s opinions.their lives a mimicry.their passions a quotation. So when people tell us how wonderful we are.it makes us feel good.We long for this good feeling like a drug—we are addicted to it and seek it out wherever we can.Therefore.we are so eager for the approval of others that we live unhappy and limited lives.failing to do the things we really want to.Just as drug addicts and alcoholics live worsened lives to keep getting their fix.we worsen our own existence to get our own constant fix of approval. But.just as with any drug.there is a price to pay.The price of the approval drug is freedom—the freedom to be ourselves.The truth is that we cannot control what other people think.People have their own agenda.and they come with their own baggage and.in the end, they're more interested in themselves than in you.Furthermore.if we try to live by the opinions of others.we will build our life on sinking sand.Everyone has a different way of thinking.and people change their opinions all the time.The person who tries to please everyone will only end up getting exhausted and probably pleasing no one in the process. So how can we take back control? I think there’s only one way—make a conscious decision to stop caring what other people think.We should guide ourselves by means of a set of values——not values imposed from the outside by others.but innate values which come from within.If we are driven by these values and not by the changing opinions and value systems of others.we will live a more authentic.effective.purposeful and happy life. 查看更多

 

题目列表(包括答案和解析)

It was Monday. Mrs. Smith's dog was hungry, but there was not any meat in the house.
  Considering that there was no better way. Mrs. Smith took a piece of paper, and wrote the following words on it:“Give my dog half a pound of meat.” Then she gave the paper to her dog and said gently:“Take this to the butcher(* person whose job is selling meat)and he's going to give you your lunch today.”
  Holding the piece of paper in its mouth, the dog ran to the butcher's. It gave the paper to the butcher. The butcher read it carefully, recognized that it was really the lady's handwriting and soon did it as he was asked to. The dog was very happy, and ate the meat up at once.
  At noon, the dog came to the shop again. It gave the butcher a piece of paper again. After reading it, he gave it half a pound of meat once more.
  The next day, the dog came again exactly at noon. And as usual, it brought a piece of paper in the mouth. This time, the butcher did not take a look at paper, and gave the dog its meat, for he had regarded the dog as one of his customers(*people who buy sth. from a shop).
  But, the dog came again at four o'clock. And the same thing happened once again. To the butcher's more surprise, it came for the third time at six o'clock, and brought with it a third piece of paper. The butcher felt a bit puzzled. He  said to himself, “This is a small dog.
