You’ve heard the expression, “What you see is what you get.” My grandfather used to say, “If you looked at a tree long enough, it will move” we see what we want to see, Psychologists tell us that nothing controls our lives more than our self-image. We live like the person we see in the mirror. We are what we think we are. If you don’t think you’ll be successful, you won’t. you can’t be it if you can’t see it. Your life is limited to your vision. If you want to change your life, you must change your vision of your life.

Arnold Schwarzenegger was not that famous in 1976 when he met with newspaper reporter. The reporter asked Schwarzenegger. “Now that you’ve retired from bodybuilding, what do you plan to do next?” Schwarzenegger answered very calmly and confidently, “I’m going to be the movie star in Hollywood.” The reporter was shocked and amused at Schwarzenegger’s plan. At that time, it was very hard to imagine how this muscle-bound bodybuilder, who was not a professional actor and who spoke poor English with a strong Austrian accent, could ever hope to be Hollywood’s movie star!

So when the reporter asked Schwarzenegger how he planned to make his dream come true, Schwarzenegger said, “I’ll do it the same way I became the bodybuilder in the world. What I do is to create a vision of who I want to be, then I start living like that person in my mind as if it were already true.” Sounds almost childishly simple, doesn’t it? But it worked! Schwarzenegger did become the highest paid movie star in Hollywood! Remember. “If you can see it, you can be it.”

A successful businessman I know wears a shirt with these words on it: “Don’t just dream your dreams. Chase’em down and tackle’em! “You only get one life to live, so why not live the best life possible? So you can be fully satisfied at what you see and get. Just think a minute!

Another person’s enthusiasm was what set me moving toward the success I have achieved．That person was my stepmother．

       I was nine years old when she entered our home in rural Virginia．My father    36    me to her with these words: “I would like you to meet the fellow who is    37    for being the worst boy in this county and will probably start throwing rocks at you no    38    than tomorrow morning．”

       My stepmother walked over to me,    39    my head slightly upward, and looked me right in the eye．Then she looked at my father and replied, “You are    40   ．This is not the worst boy at all,    41    the smartest one who hasn’t yet found an outlet（释放的途径）for his enthusiasm.”

       That statement began a（n）   42    between us．No one had ever called me smart. My family and neighbors had built me up in my    43    as a bad boy．My stepmother changed all that．

       She changed many things．She    44    my father to go to a dental school, from which he graduated with honors．She moved our family into the county seat, where my father’s career could be more    45    and my brother and I could be better    46   ．

       When I turned fourteen, she bought me a secondhand    47    and told me that she believed that I could become a writer．I knew her enthusiasm, I    48    it, and I saw how it had already improved our lives．I accepted her    49    and began to write for local newspapers．I was doing the same kind of    50    that great day I went to interview Andrew Carnegie and received the task which became my life’s work later．I wasn’t the    51    beneficiary （受益者）．My father became the    52    man in town．My brother and stepbrothers became a physician, a dentist, a lawyer, and a college president．

       What power    53    has! When that power is released to support the certainty of one’s purpose and is    54    strengthened by faith, it becomes an irresistible（不可抗拒的）force which poverty and temporary defeat can never    55   ．

       You can communicate that power to anyone who needs it．This is probably the greatest work you can do with your enthusiasm．

While you may be doing everything right, ignoring just one or two steps in the process may keep you from getting a job, especially in this fierce market. Here is a checklist that covers some of the major links in the job-search chain.

THE RESUME --- Make sure it is up-to-date and tailored to the types of jobs you are seeking for. Have someone else look at your resume. If you cannot afford a career coach, give your resume to friends or family members to scrutinize. Have copies of your resume printed so that you are ready to hand them out at interviews.

COVERING LETTERS --- Maybe you’ve set up a few basic styles in advance, but that’s not enough. Each covering letter should be designed to suit the job for which you are applying.

THE WARDROBE(衣橱) --- Check your wardrobe to ensure that you have the appropriate professional dress, including shoes, ready for interview.

NETWORKING --- Don’t isolate yourself from others for days. Network through e-mail messages, phone calls, appointments and meetings keep you in touch with the outside world and prevent you from becoming depressed.

APPLICATION --- A glance at huge online job sites isn’t usually the best way to find a job. You are more likely to succeed through the people you know via networking.

THE FOLLOW—UP --- It is quite common to apply for job and never hear back from the company. Take measures, such as following up with a phone call a week or so after you apply. If you know someone at the company, check whether that person will put in a good word for you.

INTERVIEWS --- If you’ve got plenty of interviews but no return calls or job offers, take a look at your interviewing skills. This is one area where investing in a career coach may pay off. But if you can’t afford one, try to find a job group or service that conducts free mock(模拟) interviews.

SUPPORT SYSTEMS --- Finally, recognize that looking for job is rather difficult. Even at the best of times, a job hunt is often about rejection, and that can be hard to endure. Staying in touch with family, friends, professional networks and fellow job seekers can help you to maintain a positive attitude and a sense of perspective.

【小题1】It is implied in the text that__________.

The interview had been going on for about 20 minutes and everything seems to be going well．Then, suddenly, the interviewer asks an unexpected question, "Which is more important, law or love?"
Job applicants in the west increasingly find themselves asked strange questions like this．And the signs are that this is beginning to happen in China．
Employers want people skilled, enthusiastic and devoted．So these are the qualities that any reasonably intelligent job applicants will try to show no matter what his or her actual feelings are．In response, employers are increasingly using questions which try and show the applicant’s true personality．
The question in the first paragraph comes from a test called Kiersey Personality Sorter．It is an attempt to discover how people solve problems, rather than what they know．This is often called aptitude （能力） testing．
According to Mark Baldwin of Alliance many job applicants in China are finding this type of questions difficult. When a Chinese person fills out an aptitude test he or she will think there is a right answer and they may fail because they try to guess what the examiner wants to see．
This is sometimes called the prisoner’s dilemma （窘境）．Applicants are trying to act cleverly in their own interest．But they fail because they don’t understand what the interviewer is looking for．Remember that in an aptitude test, the correct answer is always the honest answer．
