Question: Before graduation, I decided to be a useful man for our country. However, when I applied for some positions, I was turned down. Only then did I realize it was not easy to achieve my dream. 1 Now I even don’t have the courage to try a new position. How can I find the power to continue my dream?
Answer: I can understand the situation you are in. You feel your life lacks the power that you want and the motivation that you need. 2
By training your thoughts to concentrate on the bright side of things, you are more likely to have the incentive (动机) to work towards on your goals. 3
Your life can be improved, and your happiness enriched when you choose to change your views. Don’t leave your future to chance, or wait for things to get better mysteriously alone. 4 Begin to build your confidence, and work through problems rather than avoid them. Remember that power is not just about control over situations, but the ability to deal with whatever comes your way.
Always believe that good things are possible, and remember that mistakes can be lessons that lead to discoveries. Take your fear and transform it into trust. 5 Turn your “worry hours” into “productive hours”. You will see beautiful things happen when you allow yourself to experience the joys of life.
| A. What you need is to change your goal. B. The fact that the positions were not offered to me beat me. C. Learn to rise above anxiety and doubt. D. You are less likely to be held back by negative ideas that might limit your performance. E. Unfortunately, many people haven’t realized it. F. Actually all you have to do is change your points of view. G. You must go in the direction of your hopes and ambitions. |

Q&A
Question: I come from a poor family, and my parents do what they can to pay for my education. What I want to do is let my parents live a happy and comfortable life. Where can I find riches? Do I need to leave school and find a well-paid job?
Answer: You are a considerate child. 1 An African farmer heard tales about other farmers who discovered diamond mines. These tales excited the farmer so much that he could hardly wait to sell his farm and hunt for diamonds himself.
So he sold the farm and spent the rest of his life wandering the African continent, searching unsuccessfully for the gleaming （闪烁的）stones. 2
Meanwhile, back on the farm, the man who had bought his farm happened to be crossing a small stream on the farm one day. 3 He picked it up. It was a sparkling stone — a good size stone — and, admiring it, he later put it on his mantel（壁炉架）.
Several weeks later, a visitor looked closely at it, then he nearly became unconscious. He told the farmer it was one of the largest diamonds ever discovered. The farmer said that the stream was full of these brilliant stones, and his farmland was covered with them. 4
If the first farmer had taken time to study and prepare himself — to learn what diamonds looked like in their rough state w and to thoroughly explore the farm he had before looking elsewhere, his wildest dreams would have come true. 5
| A．I’d like to give you some advice on how to find the riches. |
| B．Now do you have any idea of what you should do to find the riches? |
| C．Finally, he threw himself into a river and drowned. |
| D．However, something special he was carrying dropped into the stream. |
F. Before I answer your questions, I want to tell you a story.
G. Suddenly he saw something gleaming at the bottom of the stream.
