2 . I have a degree in business. However, it was my father’s decision for me to follow a business major(专业). He thought that having a business degree would make me more competitive and provide me with more available options in entering a global marketplace. I took his advice. However, even though my college experiences were fantastic, I still had no interest in any field of commerce, let alone having a long-term career(职业) as a businesswoman.
After I graduated, I worked as a marketing planner at a computer company. My pay and working environment were great; however, I still didn’t feel happy doing something that I wasn’t interested in. After two months of working there, I made up my mind to quit and decided to do what I love, namely teaching English. I have now been an English teacher for over twenty years. I love my job and love being with my students.
If you are in a place where you don’t love what you are learning or doing, please ask yourself what you are really enthusiastic about, and what you truly want for your life. Don’t rush to get yourself a quick answer. Take some time to think about what career could make you happy. The important thing is that you are happy and then you are able to bring happiness to people around you. Therefore, you will be a success. There is a quote(引语) that says, “Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success.” If you love what you are doing, you will be successful.

5 . Many years ago my student asked me the question, “Mrs. Kindred, why do you teach?” Without taking time to reflect, I answered, “Because someday I do night and day something that might make a difference in someone’s life.” Even though I was sincere, that wasn’t a very good answer and my student didn’t let it slide.
“Let me get this clear,” he said, “You went to college for four years so you could come here every day because you have the hope that someday you might say something that will influence someone?” He shook his head as if I were crazy and walked away looking confused. I’m one of those people who look back and wish they had said something smart or witty(风趣的).
Even though that particular student might no longer wonder why I teach, there are days when I wonder. On those days, I remind myself of the real reasons I teach:
It’s in my blood. My mother was my most influential teacher, and she was a 6th grade reading teacher until her death in 1990. She instilled(灌输) in me a love of reading and the knowledge that education opens doors.
Teaching is a way to make a difference. If you throw a stone in a pond the small waves go on and on until they reach the shore. You can’t have waves without a “stone.” Good teachers throw stones that make a positive difference, and that’s what I try to do.
I genuinely(真正地) love teenagers.
I want to share with others what I know and what I have learned through the years. Life is full of ups and downs, and I can help students avoid some potholes(坑) on the road of life, I want to do so. If they’ll allow me to celebrate their victories(胜利) with them, I want to do too.
Teaching isn’t for everyone, but I know I made the right career choice.

7 . “Team building” is a term you probably first encountered years ago. And you’ve probably do team-building activities in the workplace, too. The right kinds of team-building exercises can bring people closer together, help teams work more effectively, and identify gaps and strengths in individual members.
At the base level, team building allows people to get to know each other-their interests, their strengths and weaknesses, and how they communicate among other things.
Finally, team-building activities can help remind people that work is never just about them. It’s about the entire group
