Life's greatest joys and its greatest sorrows often come from the relationships we have de?veloped with others. In fact,our existence is quite dependent upon this interaction with other in?dividuals and groups of Individuals.

In our world today，it seems that most people struggle for happiness through pleasant physi?cal surroundings and economic security. These are great, but if there is conflict in human rela?tions ,these things do not bring happiness. Think about the last time you were having an argu?ment or a disagreement with one of your co-workers，your boss，your friend，or a family mem?ber. Even though you might have been having some success in many areas of your life，did you find yourself still feeling some discomfort due to the stress in that particular relationship? On the contrary，you may know people who are happy in severe poverty and/or with physical stress if they have meaningful, pleasant relations with those around them.

Consider the most relationship that you have ever had with any individual. To some degree it probably is or was marked by absolute honesty, deep levels of trust,respect for that person's skills，knowledge，or capabilities，open communication，acceptance of differing views，and lit?tle concern for images.

In an effort to make the relationships we currently have the best that they can be，remember that persuasion usually cannot take place unless there is some sort of close，meaningful connec?tion between the two people involved. The result will be a relationship of respect and progres?sion.

Many of us have difficulty in accepting the faults and weaknesses of others, such as co?workers ,work leaders, family members, or members of our social or religious groups. Our tendency to demand perfection of others can cause us to lose sight that we，ourselves，are less than perfect. Undoubtedly, there are differences among us. Some of us are even unpleasant. Others may have cultural differences that are blocks that affect us. But learning to look for the similarities instead of those things that set us apart，embracing differences，and seeing the best in others rather than the worst will lead to relationships of deep respect and lasting value.

 Learning to play a musical instrument can change your brain. A US review has found that musical training can improve speech and foreign language skills.

  Although it was suggested in the past that listening to Mozart's music or other classical mu?sic make you smarter, there has been little evidence to show that music can boost brain power.

  But a data-driven review by Northwestern University has pulled research together that links between musical training and learning can affect skills including language，speech，memory，at?tention and even vocal emotion.

  Researcher Nina Kraus said the data strongly suggested that the neural(神经中枢的) connec?tions made during musical training also prepared the brain for other aspects of human communi?cation.

  "The effect of musical training suggests that music is a resource that tones(增强) the brain for auditory(听觉的) fitness and thus requires society to re-examine the role of music in encoura?ging individual development.”the researchers said in their study.

  Kraus said learning musical sounds could improve the brain's ability to adapt and change and also enable the nervous system to provide constructive patterns that are important to learn?ing.

  The study,published in Nature Reviews Neuroscience, showed the improvement of re?search in recent years focusing on the effect of musical training on the nervous system which could have strong impact on education.

  The study found that playing an instrument prepares the brain to choose what is related in the complex process that may involve reading or remembering a score，timing issues and coordi?nation(协 调) with other musicians.

  "A musician's brain selectively enhances information -bearing elements in sound," Kraus said in a statement. The study also reviewed literature showing, for example, that musicians are more successful than " non-musicians in learning to connect sound patterns for a new language with words.
