Tony never eats fish. This is not because he is allergic(过敏) to fish as food. He simply does not like the taste of it. You may not think this quite surprising, until I tell you that he has been a fisherman of one kind or another for most of his life.

At first, fishing was just a hobby. He used to sit on the river bank with his fishing rod(鱼竿) in his hand, waiting to feel the pull on the line. It meant a fish was trying to get the food from the hook(鱼钩). He wound(收回) the line as soon as possible and took the hook from the fish’s mouth, recorded its size in a notebook, then threw it back into the water.

Later, he used to go to sea on his friend’s fishing boat. Instead of throwing back the fish they caught, his friend took them home, where his wife cooked them or put them in the fridge for future meals.

Finally, Tony took a job on a large fishing boat. In their huge nets, they caught many fish at a time. Every time Tony found some small fish in the nets, he would say to himself: “How poor you are!” Again, Tony threw the small fish back into the sea.

In the 1950s, a female swimming athlete set a goal for herself. She decided to swim across the English Channel before she retired. If she could make it, she would be the first person in the world who did it.

On that day, she jumped into the sea without any hesitation and swam towards the opposite bank.

In the journey, she faced heavy fog, heavy rain and heavy waves. Though she was very tired, she carried on swimming.

But in the end, she gave up. And what she didn't know at the moment she gave up was that the opposite bank was only I mile away.

Later people asked her about the reason. And she said:"The reason why I gave up is that I could not see the destination which I was so close to."

Too many success stories have been lecturing us about courage and persistence(坚持). But they never told us where to find courage and persistence.

You can have courage only when you know where your goal is. You can manage to persist only when you know where your goal is, and prepare yourself well mentally(心理上).

Courage and persistence never fall from the sky. They come from weighing between input and output.

A life without goals is like a ship without a compass. It goes nowhere. There is no courage or persistence in a life without goals.

Complain(抱怨) Politely

Not everything goes the way you want it to. You may go to a restaurant and order a nice meal. But your order is wrong or not cooked properly. You may buy a product that breaks the next day.

1.However, if you speak angrily to people, they will become defensive(自卫的). Then they are less likely to help you. A more effective (有效的)way to get what you want is to stay calm.

For example, "I'm sorry to bother you, but I ordered potato soup, not vegetable, "Phrasing your complaint as a question also helps. 2.Could you help me? I just bought this phone case yesterday, but it's cracked.”

3.There is no faster way to make someone defensive than by blaming them. Use

the phrase.“ I know this isn't your fault, but…”or“There has been a misunderstanding.” 4.Blaming people isn’t as important as getting a problem fixed!

"I understood that the service charge was included in the price. Then give the person a chance to answer.

If you don't get what you want with polite conversation, ask to speak to a manager or supervisor. 5..
