Did you have a bad day yesterday? If you have one bad day after another,you need to learn the 90/10(秘诀) .

A bad start 

    Jack's daughter,Emily,knocked over (打翻> a cup of milk and it fell on his trousers at breakfast yesterday. Jack got annoyed. He shouted at his daughter and she started to cry.

    “Why did you shout at her?” asked his wife. “Why did you put the cup on the (边缘) of the table?” replied Jack. Then he went to change his trousers.

    Because she was upset,Emily didn't get ready for school in time and she missed her bus. Jack had to drive Emily to school. Because he didn't have enough time,he forgot his bag. He was forty minutes late for work. As soon as he got there,he had to go home again to get his bag.

Did it have to be a bad start?

    Again the milk fell on Jack's trousers,but this time he didn’t shout. H? smiled and said, “it’s OK. Don’t worry!” Then he went to change his trousers. When he came back,Emily said, “Bye,Daddy." And she ran out to catch her bus. Jack went to work early,and he had a great day.

So,here's the 90/10 secret.

    Ten percent of life is what happens to us. We can't control it. That's life. Things happen and we have to (应对) them.

    Ninety percent of life,however,is how we deal with it. Remember that when something bad happens next time.

Dear Jay,

    I was so happy to get your letter. It’s great to hear from you.

    I have a job in a shoe shop near where I live. I work every Saturday but during the holidays I work three days a week. Although sometimes I enjoy the contact with people,Inot very interested in what I’m selling!

    Most people don't want to work in the evening,so it's not too difficult for us students to get an evening or weekend job in a supermarket. Some even stay open all night!Some students often work in restaurants and cayks (咖 啡馆) because that's usually evening and weekend work too;The disadvantage is that during term time,it can be hard to finish all the homework. On the other hand,it’s great to have a lot of money to spend,especially (尤其) during the holidays!

    For the same reason,the jobs I’ve talked about are hard work. However,they seem to be the kind of part-time ?^) work popular with teenagers in my area.

    I’11 send you some pictures of me in the shoe shop — then you will be able to see what kind of place I work in!I hope you can find a job you enjoy. 

                         Best wishes!

                           Yours,Ben
