I think ________ best that you should do more exercise．

A．that         B．it          C．its           D．this

 

Everyone knows we must exercise regularly to maintain good health．Indeed, staying physically fit is a big part of our culture．We consider （and rightly so） that healthy people are attractive people．Since most of us want to be attractive, there is no shortage of exercise clubs, training videos, magazines, and books offering to help us stay physically fit．

Unfortunately, however, our culture does not place the same emphasis on mental fitness．Although we admire and love men and women with strong and healthy-looking bodies, we don’t have the same degree of respect or attraction for smart, educated and mentally healthy people．This is a shame, because there are immense rewards for people who have developed the ability to think well．

If your mind is well trained and flexible, you will be able to understand a great deal of what happens around you．And if you are also well educated--- that is, if you understand basic science, mathematics, music, art, literature, history and so on--- you will find it much easier to make good decisions throughout your life．Over the long run, this leads to a sense of control over your destiny and a much better life than otherwise．

People who are poorly educated or who don’t think well--- that is, people who are not mentally fit see things differently．Their world is controlled by mysterious, but often malevolent (恶意的) forces．Such people live within a system they will never master, forced to follow the rules they will never understand．Although it may not be obvious, most people spend their lives being manipulated (控制) by others．They are told what to do, what to think, how to spend their money, and what they should and should not aspire (渴求) to in life．

In my opinion, if you want to live well, you must be able to use your mind well．For this reason, I want you to be able to concentrate, solve problem, understand complex ideas, and think clearly and quickly．Such skills will make it easier for you to make informed decisions, understand current events, choose good friends, manage your money well, make wise long-term decisions, and appreciate music, art and literature．

The key to developing such skills is to enjoy learning, and to have the ability and motivation to teach yourself．

How to Manage Your Time Effectively

It has been said that “Time is Money” – but I disagree. Isn’t Time really LIFE? At the end of your  life, can you even mangine saying to yourself, “I wish I’d made more money.” It’s more likely you’d be thinking “I wish I’d had more TIME – time to enjoy my life more.” Here are my favorite strategies for managing that most precious of all resources – TIME.

61.           

You can’t find something you’ve lost when you don’t know where you might have lost it in the first place. So keep track of the exact time you begin and end an activity, and write down a few words to describe the activity. This requires you to be really honest with yourself and track your time – so if you spent 23 minutes chatting with coworkers over coffee – write it down EXACTLY!

62.       

Review your time logs（记录）and start to classify the tasks into categories（范畴）. You will create these categories yourself, and you and as brief as possible. Some examples might be: Administration, Business Development, Sales & Marketing, Com[uter, etc. You will then sum up how much time you spent doing tasks or activities for each category, in the exact number of minutes. You might also do a little math, to figure the percentage of time each category takes out of each day.

63.             

If you were honest and diligent, chances are that you had suddenly awakened after you reviewed your daily time logs. You no doubt can see where the time is wasted – and now you’re ready to make a better schedule. Make the best of your time by considering when you’re at your best for certain tasks, by grouping similar tasks together for greater efficiency, and by setting aside certain time for doing uninterrupted work. Think where different tasks can best fit into your day. Then actually write this routine down and post it where you’re see it every day.

64.           

You can create your own easy tools to do this. On oen sheet of paper, create 5 sections: High Priorities（优先）, Secondary Priorities, People to Contact, Telephone calls, and Schedule. You can fill this out cach day, first thing in the morning. Each day, ask yourself: “If nothing else gets done today, what are the one or two items that absolutely. MIST be done?” You should also regularly go back to the time logging exercise, so you can determine if you are slipping back into those old had habits and take immediate steps to get back on track.

65.          

More often than not, we take on more than we should because we don’t want to hurt someone else’s feelings. When we burden ourselves too much, we are not only creating unnecessary stress in our lives, but we are also creating potential situations where we cannot deliever what we’ve promised. We also don’t realize that when we can’t deliever what we’re promised, we can unintentionally cause more pain than if we’d had turned that down in the first place, Remember, you’re not doing any favors for yourself or anyone else by taking on more than you can reasonably deliver.
