9．"To be or not to be．"Outside the Bible，these six words are the most famous in all the literature of the world．They were spoken by Hamlet when he was thinking aloud，and they are the most famous words in Shakespeare because Hamlet was speaking not only for himself but for every thinking man and woman．To be or not to be----to live or not to live，to live richly and abundantly （丰富地） and eagerly，or to live dully and meanly and scarcely．A philosopher once wanted to know whether he was alive or not，which is a good question for everyone to put to himself occasionally．He answered it by saying，"I think，therefore I am．"
But the best definition of existence I ever saw was one written by another philosopher who said，"To be is to be in relations．"If this is true，then the more relations a living thing has，the more it is alive．To live abundantly means simply to increase the range and intensity （强度） of our relations．Unfortunately，we are so constituted （组成） that we get to love our routine．But other than our regular occupation，how much are we alive？If you are interested only in your regular occupation，you are alive only to that extent．So far as other things are concerned----poetry and prose，music，pictures，sports，unselfish friendships，politics，international affairs----you are dead．
On the contrary，it is true that every time you acquire a new interest----even more，a new accomplishment----you increase your power of life．No one who is deeply interested in different kinds of subjects can remain unhappy．The real pessimist is the person who has lost interest．
Bacon said that a man dies as often as he loses a friend．But we gain new life by contacts with new friends，and new ideas and thoughts，too．Where your thoughts are，there will be your life also．If your thoughts are limited only to your business，only to your physical welfare，only to your narrow circle of the town in which you live，then you live in a narrow restricted life．But if you are interested in the characters of a good novel，then you are living with those highly interested people； if you listen intently （专注地） to fine music，you are always away from immediate surroundings and living in a world of passion and imagination．
To be or not to be----to live intensely and richly，or merely to exist，depends on ourselves．Let us widen and intensify （增强） our relations．While we live，let us live．

5．Can you change your personality significantly？For example，if you are shy，can you turn yourself into an outgoing person who never gets stage fright when speaking in public？It's certainly not easy，but experts say it is possible．
First of all，you will never stay the same person．The Times reports several research studies conducted over the past few years show a person's personality naturally changes over time in response to life events such as entering a committed relationship or advancing in the career．From the ages of 20to 65，people report increases in positive characteristics．Most people tend to become more agreeable，more responsible，more emotionally stable．Their personalities improve as they mature．
When researchers talk about"personality"，they mean"characteristic pattern of thinking，feeling and behaving that is consistent over time and across situations，"says Christopher Soto，a research psychologist in Britain，who also mentioned that personality is about 50percent born and 50percent learned．
Psychologists usually divide human personality into 5models：openness，conscientiousness（尽责），agreeableness，neuroticism（神经质）and outgoingness．Some personality types are more successful than others．Accordingly，even small changes in a person's personality can produce important effects on relationships，career，health and happiness．But change takes time．And people need to start by changing the behavior and then，if that new behavior can be maintained over time，it gets settled．
Where do we start？"First，we have to recognize which pieces of our personality affect us，"says Richard Levak，a well-known personality expert．"If I am always getting fired because I get into arguments with co-workers，and always blame others，then I have to realize that I have to change something．"
"Don't set your expectations too high．Be patient．It's important to start small．"Warren Kennaugh，a behavioral expert in Australia says．"You also should let a friend or relative know what you're doing．Not only can they be supportive，but a change for you can also mean a change for them．"
