8．Kind-hearted parents have unknowingly left their children defenseless against failure．The generation born between 1980and 2001grew up playing sports where scores and performance were played down because"everyone's winter．"And their report cards sounded more positive than ever before．As a result，Stanford University professor Carol Dweck，PhD，calls them"the overpraised generation．"
Dweck has been studying how people deal with failure for 40years．Her research has led her to find out two clearly different mind-sets that have a great effect on how we react to it．Here's how they work：
A fixed mind-set is grounded in the belief that talent is genetic-you're a born artist，point guard，or numbers person．The fixed mind-set believes it's sure to succeed without much effort and regards failure as personal shame．When things get difficult，it's quick to blame，lie，and even stay away from future difficulties．
On the other hand，a growth mind-set believes that no talent is entirely heaven-sent and that effort and learning make everything possible．Because the ego （自尊） isn't on the line as much，the growth mind-set sees failure as a chance rather than shame．When faced with a difficulty，it's quick to rethink，change and try again．In fact，it enjoys this experience．
We are all born with growth mind-sets．（Otherwise，we wouldn't be able to live in the world．） But parents，teachers，and instructors often push us into fixed mind-sets by encouraging certain actions and misdirecting praise．Dweck's book，Mind-set：The New Psychology of Success，and online instructional program explain this in depth．But she says there are many little things you can start doing today to make sure that your children，grandchildren and even you are never defeated by failure．

5．Coffee has a history dating back to at least the 9th century and has been a catalyst for social interaction across cultures and eras．Originally discovered in Ethiopia，coffee beans were brought into the Middle East by Arab traders，spreading to Egypt，Yemen，Persia，Turkey，and North Africa by the 15th century．Muslim merchants eventually brought the beans to the thriving port city of Venice，where they sold them to wealthy Italian buyers．Soon，the Dutch began importing and growing coffee in places like Java and Ceylon （largely through slave labor），and the British East India Trading Company was popularizing the beverage in England．Coffee spread across Europe and even reached America．
Where there has been coffee，there has been the coffeehouse．From the 15th century Middle Eastern establishments where men gathered to listen to music，play chess，and hear recitations from works of literature，to Paris'Cafe le Procope where luminaries of the French Enlightenment such as Voltaire，Rousseau，and Diderot came to enjoy a hot cup of joe，coffeehouses have traditionally served as centers of social interaction，places where people can come to relax，chat，and exchange ideas．
The modern coffee shop is modeled on the espresso and pastry-centered Italian coffeehouses that arose with the establishment of Italian-American immigrant communities in major US cities．New York coffee shops were often frequented by the Beats in the 1950's．It wasn't long before Seattle and other parts of the Pacific Northwest were developing coffee shops as part of a thriving counterculture scene．The Seattle-based Starbucks took this model and brought it into mainstream culture．
Although coffeehouses today continue to serve their traditional purpose as lively social hubs in many communities，they have noticeably adapted to the times．Rediscovering their purpose as centers of information exchange and communication，many coffee shops now provide their customers with internet access and newspapers．It has become extremely common to see someone sitting at a Starbucks listening to music or surfing the web on his or her laptop．
Today，big business retail coffee shops are expanding quickly all over the world．Starbucks alone has stores in over 40countries and plans to add more．Despite its popularity，Starbucks has been criticized and labeled by many as a blood-sucking corporate machine，driving smaller coffee shops out of business through unfair practices．This has even spawned an anti-corporate coffee counterculture，with those subscribing to this culture boycotting big business coffee chains．Increasingly popular coffee stores such as The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf are also giving Starbucks some stiff competition．In any case，it seems pretty clear that coffee has weaved itself into the fabric of our consumer-oriented culture．

7．Dar and I loved to dance．It was probably the first thing we did together，long before we would share our lives．
We grew up in a small Oregon mountain community where dances were held almost every Saturday night．Dar was seventeen and l was thirteen when we first danced．He was one of the best dancers on the floor，and so was I．We always jitterbugged．No slow dancing for us； nothing remotely romantic．
Our fathers would stand along the wall and watch．Every once in a while，Dar's dad would smile a little and say，to no one in particular，but my dad could hear，"Boy，my kid can sure dance．"My dad never blinked an eye； he acted like he'd never heard．But a while later he would say，to no one in particular，"That girl of mine can sure dance．"
Our dancing together stopped for five years while Dar was in the South Pacific in World War II．When we met again，Dar was twenty-two，and l was eighteen．We began to date and dance again．We were as good together as we remembered，and this time we added slow dancing．
For us，life is a dance，a movement of rhythms，directions，stumbles，missteps，at times slow and precise，or fast and wild and joyous．We did all the steps．
Two nights before Dar died，the family were with us．We all ate dinner together，and Dar sat with us．He hadn't been able to eat for several days．After dinner，I put on a Nat King Cole tape．Dar took me in his arms，weak as he was，and we danced and smiled．No tears for us．We were doing what we had loved to do for more than fifty years．It was our last dance---forever unforgettable．I wouldn't have missed it for the world．
