2 . People living in modern society often feel great pressure or stress, which makes them annoyed. Many experts give a large number of suggestions to deal with the social issue.

    1    . If you learn these ways, you are relaxed when you are studying at school or college and working anywhere.

This is a way shared by Dr. S. R, professor at University in New York City. “    2    ,” she explains. “When you can lose control, use “STOP” to regain control of the stress.

It may be cold out, but getting outside is still important for your health. “Having fewer hours of daylight can have a harmful impact on your mood.     3    . Whatever you do, just make an effort to make it an everyday habit”, Doreen Marshall says.

“Chances are pretty good that you are not alone in feeling lonely, and sharing how you are feeling may get others to do the same,” says Marshall.     4    . However, try to challenge yourself to send three emails a week to someone you haven’t heard from in a while, or call a different loved one each week to check in and see how they are doing.

Stress is a result of thinking for a long time about something. As a result, a helpful tool is to let them out of your mind. The key here is to put pen to paper and start writing. You may want to write down things that are stressing you out and why they are stressing you out.     5    .

7 . “When life gives you lemons, make lemonade (柠檬水).” It is a good saying, but life throws at us more serious problems than lemons, doesn’t it? What do we do when we lose a family member? What do we do when we have been through events that leave us feelings? Can any failure be turned into success?

Most of us realize we can learn one or two things from failure. When we fail, we think, “Well, I won’t try that again! ”or “I won’t trust anyone again! ”But this is not useful learning. It is suggested that we ask challenging questions. For example, “How could I try that again?” There are a lot we can learn and get from failure if we keep asking good questions on how to do better next time.

Failure or pain can be good for developing our character if we choose to face it in a positive way. Our own suffering often makes us understand others better. It can give us wisdom or knowledge to share with others, which can prevent them from similar failure. If we have been hurt by others because of another person’s poor character, it may improve us to be better persons.

Failures can make us experience many things that we didn’t experience before. If you lose your job, it doesn’t mean you lose everything and probably you may get more. As we know, no job often leads to self employment; no job has been the beginning of many highly successful businesses. It is common that we don’t like changing, but change, even unfortunate change, brings new opportunities. Sometimes only failure brings us better opportunities or greater success.

8 . Life is competitive - some kids can do something faster or better than other kids. This might not seem fair, but all people are different and how well you can do something is different to others. This means there are “winners" and “losers", and lots of people are neither winners nor losers but in-between. You can choose to be a good winner or an even better loser whether you are competing against others or yourself.

Being a “good” winner

No one likes a “show off”.

No one likes someone who takes all the praise for the efforts of a team.

No one likes people who put others down to make themselves look good.

To be a good winner you need to:

◆Be modest(谦虚的).

◆ Thank those who helped you for their efforts.

◆ Keep trying to improve your skills.

◆Aim for the next step up in whatever you are doing well.

Being an even better loser

Of course it’s disappointing to lose, especially if you are close to winning. Behaving badly or angrily, name-calling and going on about things being “unfair” won’t change the final result and will only make you look like a bad sport. And no one likes bad sports either.

To be an even better loser you need to :

◆ Behave politely, nicely and kindly.

◆ Congratulate the other team.

◆ Keep any negative (消极的) thoughts to yourself - at least until you are away from the game.

It’s Ok to let out your negative thoughts to your best friend or parents later. And if you don’t do very well in a game, try harder to learn for the next one. Improving yourself makes you a winner too.

9 . Highly successful people don’t become successful overnight, and if they do, chances are that they don’t stay at the top without good daily habits to keep them on track. You may ask what those daily habits are.     1    

Successful people are busy. Just how do they keep track of what needs doing in their personal and business life?     2     You may stress about the small things, while you actually need to be focusing on the bigger responsibilities. So to help set you up for success, make a to-do list every day.

You may live a highly sedentary(久坐不动的) lifestyle, and this isn’t good for your health. When you are in pain or sick, going after success becomes even more challenging than when you are healthy and able. Successful people know that a healthy body is equal to a healthy mind. So get moving. Choose the stairs, park further away and walk to the grocery store, or make sure you work out at least once a day.

It’s the small milestones that set you up to reach your goal or achieve success. So while you should keep the big picture in mind, keep working toward the smaller goals, too.     4     If you want to write a novel, ensure you write 100—300 words a day.

    5     They have people in their inner circle who matter to them. Quality time with your loved ones such as family and friends helps fill your cup and feed your soul, which gives you the strength to keep going and go after your dreams of success.
