Tight-lipped elders used to say, "It's not what you want in this world, but what you get."

Psychology teaches that you do get what you want if you know what you want and want the right things.

You can make a mental blueprint of a desire as you would make a blueprint of a house, and each of us is continually making these blueprints in the general routine of everyday living.If we intend to have friends to dinner, we plan the menu, make a shopping list, decide which food to cook first, and such planning is an essential for any type of meal to be served.

Similarly, If you want to find a job, take a sheet of paper, and write a brief account of yourself.In making a blueprint for a job, begin with yourself, for when you know exactly what you have to offer, you can intelligently plan where to sell your services.

This account of yourself is actually a general description of your working life and should include education, experience and references.Such an account is valuable.It can be referred to in filling out standard application blanks and is extremely helpful in personal interviews.While talking to you, your could-be employer is deciding whether your education, your experience, and other qualifications will pay him to employ you and your abilities must be displayed in an orderly and reasonably connected manner.

When you have carefully prepared a blueprint of your abilities and desires, you have something tangible to sell.Then you are ready to look for a job.Get all the possible information about your could-be job.Make inquiries about the details concerning the job and the firm.Keep your eyes and ears open, and use your own judgment.Spend a certain amount of time each day seeking the position you wish for, and keep in mind: Obtaining a job is your job now.

       A.You’ll certainly get what you want.          

       B.It’s no use dreaming.

       C.You should be dissatisfied with what you have.

    Listen carefully; we would like to tell you something that could save your precious time and money! Best of all, it is free! It’s “no”. What do you ask? We’ll say it again. “No”. Sweet and simple “no”.

    Say “no” at your office and see how quickly that pile of work on your desk disappears. “Saying “no” to others means you are saying “yes” to yourself,” said Leslie Charles, a professional speaker from East Lansing, Michigan.

    Susie Watson, a famous writer, said people who always say “yes” need to say “no” without guilt (内疚) or fear of punishment.  “I would rather have someone give me a loving ‘no’ than an obligated (强制的)‘yes’”, she said.

    Susie Watson says she feels “no” obligation to give an explanation when she says “no” either socially or professionally. Does she feel guilty about it? “Not at all,” said Watson, who is director of advertising and public relations at Timex Corp in Middle-bury. “Most people are afraid of saying “no”. My advice is to say “yes” only if you don’t mean ‘no’.”

    Watson said “no” is the most effective weapon against wasting time. “Every year there are more demands on your time. Other people are happy to use up your time,” Watson said. Time saving appears to be “no’s” greatest friend. “No” can be your new friend, a powerful tool to take back your life. “No” may even take you further in the business world than “yes”. “No” is power and strength. “No” now seems completely correct. “Saying ‘no’ isn’t easy. But finally it’s greatly liberating,” Charles said. But, he added, a “no” project needs to be worked on every day because it is hard to change long-term habit.

But, he also warns: “Don’t go to extremes.  Don’t find yourself saying “no” to everything. In return you should learn to hear “no”.”

1. The underlined part “saying ‘yes’ to yourself” in the second paragragh means ________.

    A. you can have more time to play with others

    B. you needn’t care about other’s feeling if you are happy

    C. you are selfish and treat others rudely

    D. you can deal with your business as you have planned

2. When you say “no” to others you should say it in a ________.

    A. secret way     B. polite way         C. proud way        D. guilty way

3 In Watson’s opinion, people can save much time on condition that ________.

    A. they say “no” at a suitable time        B. they say “no” as much as possible

    C. they are afraid of saying “no”         D. they make others angry at them

4. If a person says “no” to everything, the result he or she receives may be that he or she ________.

    A. enjoys a wonderful life              B. makes a lot of money

    C. faces difficulty in life                D. forgets to say “yes” in the end
