1.Just 10 years ago,I sat across the desk from a doctor."Yes,"he said,"there is something wrong with the left,upper lobe(肺叶).You have a moderately advanced case…You'll have to give up work at once and go to bed.Later on,we'll see."Feeling like a man who is in midcareer has suddenly been placed under sentence of death,I left the doctor's office,walked over to the park,and sat down on a bench.I needed to think.In the next 3days,I cleared up my affairs,then I went home,got into bed,and set my watch to tick off not the minutes,but the months.Two years later,I left my bed and began the long climb back.It was another year before I made it.
I speak of this experience because these years that passed so slowly taught me what to value and what to believe.I realise now that this world I'm living in is not my oyster(牡蛎) to be opened but my opportunity to be grasped.Each day,to me,is a precious thing.The sun comes up and presents me with 24brandnew,wonderful hours-not to pass,but to fill.
I've learned to appreciate those little,allimportant things I never thought I had the time to notice before:the play of light on running water,the music of the wind in my favourite pine tree.I seem now to see and hear and feel with some of the recovered freshness of childhood.How well,for instance,I recall the touch of the springy earth under my feet the day I first stepped upon it after the years in bed.
Frequently,I sit back and say to myself,"Let me make note of this moment I'm living right now,because in it I'm well,happy and hard at work doing what I like best to do.It won't always be like this,so while it is,I'll make the most of it-and afterwards,I remember-and be grateful.All this,I owe to that long time spent on the sidelines of life."

It's strange how mean we are about praising.Perhaps it's because few of us know how to accept praise gracefully.Instead,we are embarrassed and ignore the words we are really so glad to hear.Because of this defensive reaction,direct praise is surprisingly difficult to give.
Do you ever go into a house and say,"What a tidy room!"Hardly anybody does.That's why housework is considered such a boring job.Shakespeare said,"Our praises are our wages."Since so often praise is the only wage a housewife receives,surely she is worthy of praise.
Mothers know naturally that for children an ounce of praise is worth a pound of scolding.Still,we are unaware of children's small achievements and we seldom apply the rule.One day I was criticizing my children for quarrelling."Can you never play peacefully?"I shouted.Susanna looked at me confused."Of course I can,"she said."But you don't notice us when we do."
Teachers agree about the value of praise."I believe that a student knows when he has handed in something above his usual standard,"writes a teacher,"and that he is hungry for a brief comment in the margin to show him that the teacher is aware of it,too."
Behavioral scientists have done countless experiments to prove that people have a tendency to repeat an act which has been immediately followed by a pleasant result.In one such experiment,a number of schoolchildren were divided into three groups and given arithmetic tests daily for five days.One group was constantly praised for its previous performance; another group was criticized; the third was ignored.Not surprisingly,those who were praised improved dramatically.Those who were criticized improved,too,but not so much.And the scores of the children who were ignored hardly improved at all.Interestingly,the brightest children were helped just as much by criticism as by praise,but the less able children,who reacted badly to criticism,needed praise the most.
To give praise costs the giver nothing but a moment's thought and a moment's effort-perhaps a quick phone call to pass on good comments,or write an appreciative letter.It is such a small investment-and yet consider the results it may produce.We will not only bring joy into other people's lives,but also,very often,added happiness into our room."I can live for two months on a good compliment."said Mark Twain.
