15.[1]"Maybe when I'm 90years old,I'll get used to having everything I do taken for granted,"a young homemaker told a secret to her neighbor,"If Bill would compliment me once in a while,he'd make my life much happier."[2]Few of us realize how much we need encouragement.Yet we must bask(沐浴于) in the warmth of approval now and then or lose our self-confidence.
[3]All of us need to feel needed and admired.But unless we hear words of praise from someone else,how can we know that we are valued friends or co-workers?
[4]Anyone who wants to improve his relationships with others need only show a sympathetic understanding.The way to express this understanding and to give others the feeling of importance and worthiness boils down to this:always look for something in the other person you can admire and praise and tell him about it.
[5]We each have a mental picture of ourselves,a self-image.To find life reasonably satisfying,that self-image must be one we can live with,one we can like.When we are proud of our self-image,we feel confident and free to be ourselves.We function at our best.When we are ashamed of our self-image,we attempt to hide it rather than express it.We become hard to get along with.
[6]A miracle happens to the person whose self-pride has been raised.He suddenly likes other people better.He is kinder and more cooperative with those around him.Praise is the polish that helps keep his self-image bright and sparkling.
[7]What has this to do with your giving praise?A lot.You have the ability to perform that kind of miracle in another person.When you add to his self-pride,you make him want to like you and to cooperate with you.
[8]In a classic bit of advice,Lord Chesterfield suggested to his son that he should follow the example of the Duke de Nivernoise:"You will recognize that he makes people pleased with him by making them first pleased with themselves."
[9]The effects of Praise can be great indeed.A new minister called to a church whose members were jokingly referred to as"a refrigerator"by other ministers decided against criticizing his people for their coolness toward strangers.Instead,he began welcoming visitors and telling them how friendly the members of the church were.Things gradually changed."Praise transformed the ice-cube members into warmhearted human beings,"he said.

Cultual Breaks by Brian Aldiss Reviewed by Paul Kincaid Brian Aldiss is an amazing and frustrating writer.When he is on song,his style is forceful,disturbing and delectable.But he is a restless writer.He came into his own in the enthusiastic and experimental atmosphere of the New Wave,and he has been driven to try the new and the different ever since.That he is still experimenting now,50years after his first appearance,is a measure of a man who has never been prepared to settle back on his laurels. | |
The Secrets of Jin-Shei by Alma Alexander Reviewed by Donna McMahon With so many fantasy novels using European-derived settings and mythology,ancient China makes a refreshing change.The landscape is tempting and yet familiar enough to feel very real,and the author uses magic sparingly,in ways appropriate to her society.This and the complex detail put into the backdrop makes the novel feel very much like historical fiction. | |
