题目内容
1.When I was in college,I heard about a book titled"Looking Out for Number One".I never read the book,and I didn't like it.I think it was because the title made me feel bored.I hadn't been taught to be so selfish that I should focus on only me.I thought I needed to help others and,along the way,I would also help myself.Now,I realize I should have at least considered learning more about looking out for number one.Many years after seeing the book about looking out for number one,I'm realizing number one,me,is the person I should care first in the world.Jeffrey Gitomer asks the question,"Who is the most important person in your life?"Most people answer,"The customer."He then asks,"If there were only two people left in the world,the customer and you,who would you want to survive (生存)?"Now the answer is me.
It makes sense that if we can't help ourselves first,we will never be ready to help others.We all need to learn to control our lives and make the best decisions for ourselves.That will put us in the position to help others in the future.But many of us are slow to understand this.
It is said that happiness will bring success,but success doesn't always bring happiness.We all want to be happy and successful.Some of us can be very happy when our basic needs are met and our families are safe.Others will seek for high levels of success,thinking that will bring happiness.I'm sure we can think of some people who are very successful,according to the world's standards (标准),but they appear to be unhappy sometimes.This is because they have been so busy working for somebody else's goals that they haven't considered their own needs.
