 Taking care of unsolved issues of the past will free you to move ahead with confidence. The final step toward putting your past behind so that you can reach for what’s possible is tying up your loose ends. Loose ends are the unsolved relationships that keep you from sleeping worry-free at night. You have a loose end if there’s someone you don’t want to run into on a first date or at work. You have a loose end if there’s someone you don’t want to sit next to at a holiday dinner. Loose ends are distracting(转移) and have an amazing way of biting you in the bottom at the worst times.

How to Tie Up Your Loose Ends

1.Identify the five people with whom you have the most unsolved issues.

These could be past relationships, employers, business partners, friends, family, or co-workers.

  2. Contact each of these five loose ends.

 Invite each separately to a coffee shop or some other non-threatening, non-alcohol environment. Tell each one that you want to apologize for allowing things to get crossways between you. Some may doubt your intentions, but tell them that you sincerely feel it’s time to clear the air. Ask those who agree to meet to write down any ways they think you wronged them, and you do the same. Tell them to bring this list to your get-together.

 3. Show up on time and thank each for forgiving enough to meet with you.

 Be an adult here-finger pointing only tears people apart. Remember, you experience maybe and most likely is totally different from his. Listen to each issue that each of them raises and try to see it from their perspectives(视角). Don’t interrupt them when they are sharing. Seek to understand why they have bad feelings toward you. Apologize for each thing they think you did to wrong them(even if you don’t completely agree with his view of the situation).

After you tie up your first loose end, you’ll want to solve them all. This is hard to explain until you have done it; but once you do, you’ll know what I mean. I learned so much about myself by tying up my loose ends. Most of all, I think this process helped me become a more understanding and patient friend.

1.According to the passage, a “loose end” might be caused by someone____________.

  A. who keeps you sleeping soundly     B. who helps put your past behind

  C. who has different life experiences    D. who prevents you from going forward

2.By telling his own experience in the last paragraph, the author intends to__________.

  A. learn more about himself           B. describe his own personality

  C. make his point clearerD. tell something hard to explain.

3.The general tone（语气） of the language in the passage is ___________________.

  A. disappointing   B. exciting      C. critical      D. encouraging

4.The text is mainly written to tell us ________.

A.   how to free ourselves from unsolved problems

B.   how to stay away from unsettled problems

C.   when to make an apology to others

D.   why to forgive others who wronged us
