The World Trade Organization (WTO), founded on January 1, 1995, aims to encourage international trade to flow as possible, making sure that trade agreements are respected and that any disputes can be settled.

In the five years since its founding, the WTO has become well known as one of the world’s most powerful economic organizations, taking its place alongside the World Bank and International Money Fund.

The system of global rules for international trade, however, dates back half a century to 1948 when the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade was formed after World War II.

As time went by, it became clear that the GATT had two major drawbacks-the limited areas of trade it covered, and the lack of an effective system to settle disputes.

After seven years of trade talks ending in 1994, the so-called Uruguay Round finally give birth to the WTO, complete with an effective system to settle disputes and new rules covering trade in services and intellectual property.

Even after seven years of talks and 22, 500 pages of agreements, there were still problems, especially the difficulty to deal with areas of agriculture and services, which the member nations agreed to revise in 2000. The WTO, with its head office in Geneva, has 135 members with 30 more waiting to join.

Some time ago during my vacation period, I traveled to Europe to tour the various parts of France．Our tour group was made up of forty—five travelers from different countries．My three friends and I made up the Canadian team on the bus．
As time passed we got to know each Other better and in some ways the new friendships that grew became as valuable and as memorable as the trip itself．
On the last day of the tour we were traveling through the peaceful French countryside when our guide came on the microphone．He said，“We are presently passing through World War I battlefields just south of Vimy Ridge．If you look to your right, just across the field there, you will see the war memorial that the people of France built to the Canadian soldiers who fought so bravely here．Even today some residents from the surrounding towns place flowers on the memorial regularly．My dear Canadian friends at the back of the bus, I would like to say thank you for the unselfish acts of your Canadian soldiers．”
Across the grassy field, the stone monument stood proud against the French sky．A Canadian flag rippled softly in the calm breeze．Lost in the moment, I could imagine the sights and sounds of war．Suddenly an unexpected wave of emotion swept over me．I felt great sadness for those men who never returned home to Canada, but at the same time my heart was filled with an enormous sense of pride．Tears welled up in my eyes．I was embarrassed by my uncontrolled reaction．As I turned around I realized that each of my friends had experienced the same feelings, their eyes also wet with tears．

No fight can end,and no friendshiip can move on,until everyone says these little words:I’m sorry. Sometimes,though,they can be difficult to say.  71  

It is not about winning.

Friendships aren’t like the Super Bowl, and there should never be a winner and a loser.When you start fighting with a friend,it may feel important that you “win” the fight by proving you’re right and he is wrong,or by making him be the first to apologize.

In reality,you’ll both lose if you let your fight ruin your friendship,and you’ll both win if you find a way to heal it.

  72  

You may have heard the expression “His pride stood in the way”. It is usually used to describe a person who is so determined to be “right” that he lets an opportunity for happiness pass him by forever.  73     Remember: as time goes on,we usually forget who was right and who was wrong in a disagreement,and only remember the sadness of losing a friend.

Take the first step.

Are you sick of fighting?Do you think this fight is just not important enough to ruin your friendship?   74     You don’t have to take full responsibility for starting the fight, or even say that your feelings were wrong..But you should find something you did or said that’s worth apologizing for.Maybe you’re sorry that you let the fight go for so long,or that you overreacted to something your friend did. If you say you’re sorry,it’s like an invitation for your friend to do the same.   75   

A. Then try to be the first to apologize.

B. Stop thinking about your pride.

C. It’s about taking some responsibility for the argument.

D. Don’t let this happen to a friendship you care about

E. Here are some things to keep in mind.

F. There are some special cases when you shouldn’t be the one to apologize first.

G. .Once you’ve both said it,you’ll both feel a million times better.
