When you open your eyes in the morning, you find it is a beautiful day and the plans for the day are what you have been looking forward to for a long time. Then the 　36 rings, you say hello, and the drama starts. The person on the other 37 has a depressing tone in his voice as he starts to tell you how 　38 　his morning is and that there is nothing to look forward to. Are you 39 in a wonderful mood? Impossible!

Communicating with negative people can wash out your 　40 . It may not change what you think, but doing this long enough with them will make you 　41 depressed for a moment or a long time.

Life brings ups and downs, but some people 42 　the wrong idea that life has no happiness to offer. They only feel glad when they make others feel 43 . No wonder they can hardly win others' pity or respect.

When you 44 with positive people, your spirit stays happy and therefore more positive things are attracted. 45 the dagger（匕首）of a negative person is put in you, you feel the heavy feeling that brings you 46 .

Sometimes we have no 47 but to communicate with negative people. This could be a co-worker, or a relative. In this case, 48 what needs to be said as little as possible. Sometimes it feels good to 49 　your anger back to the negative person, 50 　all this does is to lower you to that same negative level and they won't feel 51 of themselves about that.

Negativity often 52 happiness without even being realized. The negative words of another at the start of the day can attach to you throughout the 53 of your day, which makes you feel bad and 54 your happiness. Life is too 55 to feel negative. Stay positive and avoid negativity as much as possible.

We all see and hear about extraordinary people around us and wonder why can’t we be more like them? Sometimes we chuck that notion as absurd and unachievable. I would say not so fast. It’s not the big things that make someone extraordinary. It’s the small things. Things over a period of time have the power to radically change your life. They become extraordinary by making a difference in someone’s life. Here are some of the things extraordinary people do every day:

1. __________

Just because you’re the boss, it doesn’t mean you are right every time. It doesn’t mean you have the best ideas. Learn to back up your ideas or decisions with reason. Use logic to explain things, not authority. By doing this your decisions might invite criticism, but you will also get an opportunity to improve.

2. __________

My friend’s boss made a huge mistake by tying up with an event management company. The whole purpose of the tie-up was to promote his company but it failed miserably. Instead of defending his idea and carrying on as if nothing happened, he apologized to the team for not including them in the decision making. It’s OK to admit you were wrong. You will not only gain the respect of your team mates, you will also gain credibility.

3.__________

Remember the time, say in school or at work when you worked really hard but got nothing in return. Not even a thank you. It hurts when your efforts are not recognized. So every chance you get to praise someone, do it. A simple “That was some great work, keep it up,” can go a long way in making the employee feel great about themselves. A compliment can have a positive impact on their lives. Your team/family will love you for it.

4. __________

We all make mistakes, but what makes a person big is when he is ready to apologize. Don’t try to hide behind excuses: “I didn’t mean to say it, it just happened.” “I was irritated with such and such person so…” No. Don’t try to shift blame. Just come right out and say you’re sorry.

5. __________

Sometimes it is very important to stay mum. Especially when you’re angry or irritated or bitter, you don’t want to end up saying things you didn’t really mean to. So they take their time, they process their emotions, think back to what happened, and then come to a decision about how to tackle it. Before you say anything, consider other’s feelings. Never be rash with words or actions.
