The most valuable gift I have ever received was a photo album from my best friend Kevin.

      Kevin and I were classmates for all six years of primary school. We both had the same interests, so we always had a lot of things to talk about. It is wonderful to have such a good friend.

      However, last summer, Kevin had to move to another city because of his father's job. Then he gave me a photo album. “It has photos of the memorable events we have experienced together. I've also written some notes under each photo,” he said. I was deeply moved.

      I put the album beside my bed. I always look at it when I think of Kevin.

    Is your life ruled by love or by fear? Love and fear are two opposite feelings that shape our life in very different ways. Most of us are controlled by both of them. However, even a tiny change towards love and away from fear can bring more happiness. Here are some suggestions towards love.

    Cultivate Gratitude(培养感恩之心)

    Gratitude makes us feel happier. If you remember to be thankful for the blessings(赐福)of your life, you will feel more connected to yourself and others. When you let worries go and have gratitude instead, love appears quickly.

    Test the Reality of Fear

    Sometimes fear can be like a cloud that keeps out the sunlight. A simple way to deal with fear is to test its reality. Write down three things that you're afraid of. Then look at each point and ask yourself,  "Is this fear really grounded(基于) in reality? "I know when I do this, I often find that fears aren't reasonable.

    Take Action

    Taking action is the best way to control fear. For example, if you are not feeling well, but you don't go to a doctor, you may imagine that you are having a serious health problem.

    Once you've been to a doctor, talked about the problems and dealt with them one by one, your fear will become smaller and even disappear.

    Today teamwork is becoming more and more important in businesses and other jobs. Our society needs people who can work with and get on well with others.

    John Brown, Design Works

    A good team needs people with different skills and talents. The best people can work with others and develop ideas with a team. It's important that everyone uses his talents in work.

    Lee Chung, Computer World

    Good team players are usually friendly and easy to talk to. They are also good at listening to other people. They are happy to share ideas.

Jane Lin, Lin Electricals

    Most teams need a mixture of people. It is great 10 have people with ideas but you also need people who get things done on time. A team made up of people that all have the same skills would not work.

Jim Khan, Northern Bank

    I prefer people who can bring out the best in other people. In a group you can see people that know how to get a team to work together. They understand teams and they can make a team work. A good team is the key to success.
