A good state of mind – the base for success A good state of mind is the base for success. However, for those who are busy preparing for the college entrance examination, there are problems which have negative effects on it. Sometimes parents may complain, sometimes teachers may feel disappointed, sometimes friends do not understand each other or we may fail in an exam. Worse still, we may feel hopeless. In face of these problems, we do need to keep a good state of mind. Then how to keep a good state of mind? _____________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Read more Five Balls Of Life [ 2006-03-13 15:27 ] This was written by the CEO of Coca-Cola Brian G. Dyson.It was used as Georgia Tech's Commencement Address: Imagine life as a game in which you are juggling some five balls in the air. You name them work, family, health, friends and spirit and you're keeping all of these in the air. You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back.But the other four balls family, health, friends and spirit are made of glass. If you drop one of these, they will be irrevocably scuffed, marked, nicked, damaged or even shattered. They will never be the same. You must understand that and strive for balance in your life. How? Don't undermine your worth by comparing yourself with others. It is because we are different that each of us is special. Don't set your goals by what other people deem important. Only you know what is best for you. Don't take for granted the things closest to your heart. Cling to them as they would be your life, for without them, life is meaningless.
Don't let your life slip through your fingers by living in the past or for the future. By living your life one day at a time, you live ALL the days of your life. Don't give up when you still have something to give. Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying. Don't be afraid to admit that you are less than perfect. It is this fragile thread that binds us to each together. Don't be afraid to encounter risks.&n
