2．Once kids hit the teenage years，parenting becomes more difficult than ever．Establishing（建立）effective house rules is one of the best ways to educate teenagers．House rules must respect teenagers'desire to be independent and make sure they behave responsibly．
How can effective house rules be established？
First of all，get your teenager to take part in making the rules，which can help keep them motivated to follow them．Ask their opinion about what sorts of things they think are important when creating the rules and try to include some of their ideas．
When creating the list of rules，don't list every single rule imaginable．Instead，try to limit it to the ten most important rules．I've seen some parents come up with several pages of rules which turn out to be more like a rule book rather than a list．Remember，it is important to make the list easy to remember and to be a basic guide．
Then，it is important that you write out the list of rules and hang them in a prominent （显眼的） location．Keeping the rules on the refrigerator or displayed somewhere where everyone can see them is a good reminder．Revise the rules whenever there's a need，not very frequently though．
Explain clearly in advance what negative result will be in store when a rule gets broken．But ensure that none of your results are equal to abusive parenting．For example，take off the rule that says-"if you don't get home by 11at night，make arrangements to stay elsewhere until morning"．Let helping with small household chores like cleaning up their own rooms serve as a result of breaking rules．
Follow these tips on establishing effective house rules accompanied by constant positive reinforcement （执行），and you will see the improvement in your teenager's behavior．Hope you can direct your teenager to become a responsible and independent person with the help of house rules!

1．The GREATEST Journey
I had lunch last week with a high-ranking business woman for a fortune 500company．I asked her what tips she would give to someone early in their career．Without hesitation she jumped right into four keys to her professional climb：
Know your business．Never get satisfaction with your industry or your position．In most cases，the knowledge you hold now is not good enough to stand the test of time．Thus，you must keep working to stay on top of what's new and what's coming down the pipeline．This is what really counts，especially early in a professional career，as many entry level associates are content to be gainfully employed．
Pick careers with care．Again，early in your career it is easy to run after the job that offers the most money．In the case of a life-long career money cannot answer all things．If you are going to be an entrepreneur then you'll probably start with a budget of zero．Yet，if you have the discipline，working for yourself could be the best choice you've ever made．
If you are going to work for a company you have to do your homework．If you find a company that consists with your values and produces a product that you 100% believe in，then you'll have an easy time giving that organization your all．
Be personable．If everyone hates to be around you at the office，it's time to check your attitude．We've all heard at least one anecdote about a great thinker with great skills who drove coworkers crazy．Someway，somehow many of the brightest and best lack the"people skills"to advance beyond an entry-level position．
In short，you must have the interpersonal insight to interact with internal and external contacts．If not，you may find that you are unimportant once someone with soft-skills joins the organization．Why？People have to buy you before they ever buy the product you're selling．
Be willing to move．This is where I got puzzled．She shared how she lived in seven states still working for the same organization．
Much is made of moving in today's attempts to climb the corporate ladder．As more and more companies extend to have a global reach，it is easy to understand why new opportunities birth in various locations．
Whatever the path，outline in your heart what destination you hope to reach and this will be a key indicator as to which journey will be greatest for you．

20．Criticism （批评） is common in life．It is up to you to decide how to react to it．Learn how to deal with criticism and lead a happier and more relaxing life．
Ask yourself how the criticism will affect you．Will you lose your job because of the criticism？Will you lose what is important to you because you are criticized？Will life stop existing if your opinions are not accepted？Surely not!So，don't worry about it．Instead，remember that some criticism actually helps you make some improvements．
You absolutely cannot stop what people say．What you can do，however，is to change the way you react to criticism．If you are upset about it，then the blame is on you．You have the right to decide what to do with the criticism you receive．
Be brave to accept criticism．No one likes to be told that he is wrong．Yet，every single person has，at one time or another，been blamed for something．Realize that it's normal．You may have received some strong criticism，but it doesn't mean that you are foolish，or that you are unable to do something properly．If you are afraid to put your work out for others to see，you'll never know if you are a capable person．Try not to think of it in that way and don't take it seriously．If you can learn to be optimistic（乐观的），you will remove some stress and nervousness about what people think，thus becoming happier．
Consider where the criticism comes from．It may help you step back and examine what causes the criticism．Is the critic just trying to offer constructive criticism？It is much easier to accept correction or guidance from someone that has good intentions．This type of criticism is known as valid（有效的） criticism，because there is a valid point or reason to it．On the other hand，there are critics that offer their advice just to be negative．This is commonly referred to as invalid criticism because it is often not of any use at all．
Do your best．And if someone doesn't like what you've done，so what？It's either valid criticism or invalid criticism．But you have the power to decide how you will allow it to affect you．

15．Three packs of cigarettes were lying there on the pavement．I went down from Shubentsov's office doorstep，picked them up and（41）A them．Later，in a bar，when I opened the first pack，I found-to my（42）B-twenty cigarettes were there．
I'm still at the bar，telephone in one hand and the cigarettes in the other．I'm dialing Shubentsov，who told me to（43）A the moment I felt the（44）C to smoke．I feel it，feel it even （45）B than I felt Shubentsov's healing energy．Shubentsov is known around the world for （46）C smokers of their nasty habit，using a（47）D method．He sent his healing energy from his fingertips，he tells me-something he（48）C from another man in Russia．"I help you for free，"he told me in his muddy accent．"Just call me（49）A．"
I went to see Shubentsov．I think it's time to stop （50）B I'm getting old and I can't do this by myself．I should quit，but like a lot of you（51）C with the same habit，I really don't want to．
Smoking has been very（52）D to me．Cigarettes have never let me down，never （53）Bme on lonely，desperate nights．Smoking clears my head，helps me think．Smoking helps me celebrate victories，（54）A losses，comfort the comfortless．It also chases away the mosquitoes．
I will quit．Soon．My body and my mind are demanding that，daily．
I claim to smoke for pleasure，but I realize that slowly I'm losing control of this close，special friend．I（55）A that．I realize it's not just a"habit"．I'm（56）D．
So I attempt to give up again，at Shubentsov's place this time．I've tried all the other quitting techniques（57）D．Anytime the desire to smoke（58）C me，he said，just ring him up immediately and he'll help．The funny thing is，I realize that I'm phoning him because if I call，I'll have done my part．Besides，I know that at 9：30on Friday nights，I'll hear the voice of the（59）B．I do．"The office is open from ten to four．Call me back then．It does not take messages．"
I put the phone down and I can honestly say I'm（60）C．
You see，it's not Shubentsov's fault or anyone else's fault that I'm still smoking．It's mine．
Now if you'll excuse me，I'm going to smoke this cigarette．Whether I'll really enjoy it，though，is another story．
