Michael Jordon is the greatest basketball player of all time. Once he was making a television advertisement, all he needed to do was to miss a shot.
For Michael, this was difficult. He had conditioned(定位) himself to succeed whenever he was throwing the ball. Every time he threw a basketball, it went in. Every time he tried to miss a shot, he couldn’t. In total, it took him over 20 attempts (尝试) before he missed a shot.
For Michael, success is a strong habit. It took him a lot of time to break it. Just like drinking, smoking and collecting things, success is also a habit. Once it is formed, it is difficult to break. Many people think that success is difficult to keep. They feel that it will be hard work and will need too much action and focus. The truth is that it is simply a habit, and as easy to keep as any other habit.
Spend some time making success a habit in your life. Once you have developed it, it is not something you want to change again.

A greeting is a way of saying "Hello" to someone. People in different countries greet each other in different ways. Here are some.

World Greetings
Philippine
The everyday greeting for friends is a handshake for both men and women. Men some­times pat each other on the back.
Japan
When people meet for the first time, they usually bow. In business, people also shake hands.
In formal situations, people often exchange business cards. When you give a business card, give it with two hands. This is polite.
Special note: In Japan, a smile can have different meanings. It usually means that the person is happy, or that the person thinks something is funny. But it can also mean that the person is embarrassed.
New Zealand
Usually, both men and women shake hands when they meet someone for the first time.
Fun fact: If you see two people pressing their noses together, they are probably Maori. The Maori are the native people of New Zealand. This is their traditional greeting.
Brazil
Men often shake hands when they meet for the first time.
When women meet, they kiss each other on the cheek. Women also kiss male friends to say hello.
When you shake hands, look at the person in the eyes. This shows interest and friendliness.

CCTV held a charity show in May to raise money for the earthquake-hit areas in Sichuan. Many famous stars took part in the show. (A) They didn’t ask for any pay, they all did it for free. There were a lot of performances like singing, dancing and cross-talks(相声 ). (B)The audience(观众) were so excited that they clapped(鼓掌) their hands all the time. Almost everyone was moved to cry by a lot of sad or moving stories. During the performances, they donated money to the disaster areas(灾区). The show was so successful.
Besides that, many other stars are doing things for disaster areas in many ways. Kungfu star Jackie Chan and the foundation(基金) named Hong Kong Emperor Group have together donated 10 million yuan. And he also sent his consolation(安慰) to the people in the disaster areas and encouraged them to hold on because “People all over the country are with you.” Xiao Ke, a songwriter, wrote and recorded a song “I Know You Will Come” to warm the hearts of the people in despair(绝望). CCTV’s top show “The Same Song” also held a charity special to help them.
Both the ticket money and the donated money will be sent to the disaster areas. As the Chinese saying goes (C) “One in trouble, all to help.” I believe that the whole world will become better if everyone of us gives charity to others.
