幸福会来敲门

readingnote for future review:


★(it's my favourite)


1.An injured lion wants to know if he can still roar. It's about dignity and self-esteem,which isn't quite the same as vanity.


2.Whatever my accomplishment, all of the things i loved were rooted in the dreams and goals i had as a child.


3.Her casual remark was a reminder about the accidental elements that play into both our arrival into life and our departure into death.


★4.We can't change it.We just have to decide how we'll respond.We cannot change the cards we are dealt, just how we play the hand..


★5.I quote my father to people almost everyday. Part of that is because if you dispense your own wisdom, others often dismiss it:If you offer wisdom from a third party, it seems less arrogant and more acceptable.


6.He love to watch the spark of ehthusiasm turn into fireworks.


7.Maybe it was a symbol of the balence in my life between aspiration and pragmatism.


★8.There is a lot of talk about giving children self-esteem. It's not something you can give, it's something they have to build. You give them something they can't do, they work hard until they find they can do it, and you just keep repeating the process.

9.About leadership: He never professed to have skills greater than his subordinates, He acknowledged they knew what they were doing in their domains. But he established the vison, the tone. He was in charge of morale.


★★10.I also didn't want anyone to know just how long it took me to be successful. Tenacity is a virtue,but it's not always crucial for everyone to observe how hard you work at something.


★★11.The brick walls are there for a reason. They are not there to keep us out. The brick wall are there to give us a chance to show how badly you want something.


12.That remind me of my mine at Disney. Ask Disney World workers:"what time does the park close?" They are supposed to answer:"The park is open until 8.pm.


13.I quickly felt a magnetic sense that i really wanted to be with this woman.

★14.No matter how bad things are, you can always make things worse. At the same time, it is often within your power to make them better.


15.And so there i was , weeks after his death, getting another lesson from him about the meaning of sacrifice--and about the power of humility.


16. All my life , i have been very aware that time is finite. I admit i am over logical abou a lot of things, but i firmly believe that one of my most appropriate fixations has been to manage time well.

tips

one: Time must be explictly managed, like money.

two:you can always change your plan, but only if you have one

three:ask yourself:Are you spending your time on the right things?

four:develop a good filing sysem

five: rethink the telephone

six: Delegate/take a time out


★ Time is all you have.And you may find one day that you have less than you think


★17.Luck is indeed where preparation meets opportunity.


18.Earnest i better than Hip. I knew there had to be an earnestness about him that outweighted any superficial urges toward hipness.


★19.Don't complain, just work harder. Complaining does not work as a strategy. We all have finite time and energy. Any time we spend whining is unlikely to help us achieve our goals. And it won;t make us happier.

20.treat disease, not symptom


★21.When you are frustrated with people, when they have made you angry, it just may be bacause you haven't given them enough time.


★22.Just ignore everything they say and only pay attention to what they do.

★★23. Experience is what you get when you didn't get what you want. And experience is often the most valuable thing you have to offer. The person who failed often knows how to avoild future failures.The person who know only success can be more oblivious to all the pitfalls.


★★24. A lot of people want a shortcut. I find the best shortcut is the long way, which is basically two words: word hard.

As i see it, if you work more hours than somebody else, during those hours you learn more about your craft. That can make you more efficient, more able, even happier. Hard work is like compounded interest in the bank. The reward build faster.


25.When trying to make a decison, i often think of the worst scenario.


26.A good apology is like an antibiotic. A bad apology is like rubbing salt in the wound.


★27.No job should beneath us. And when you get there, here's what you do: Be really great at doing that.


28.Rights come with responsibilty.Everyone has to contribute to the common good. To not do so can be described in one word:Selfish.


29.i will do that. it's a kind of like a fish talking about the importance of water.


30.Put your own oxgen mask before assisting others.

the ultimate conclusion:

IF we lead our life the right way,

the karma will take care of itself.

The dreams will come to you
