The benefits of keeping a journal(日志)
If you want to grow, one important thing you should do is keep a journal. It may seem simple, but it can make a big difference in your life. I have been keeping journals for years. Writing all the lessons I learn and all the ideas I get has become a habit for me. Here are some benefits you will get by keeping a journal.
♦ It prevents you from losing an idea. Have you ever gotten an idea and lost it later because you didn't write it down? But then I developed the habit of writing down every idea that came into my mind as soon as possible. If I am away from my computer, I usually write it down on a piece of paper that I bring wherever I go. I will then transfer the idea to the journal in my computer.
♦ It helps you review all the lessons you've learned. By reviewing your journal, you can quickly see the lessons you've learned and the ideas you've gotten. You can use the ideas to propel yourself forward.
♦ After keeping a journal for years, you can look back at it and see how far you've gone. Things that were big problems in the past might seem small today. The raw ideas you had in the past have been realized today.
♦ It helps you expand your ideas. When you try to come up with a sentence to express an idea, you are thinking actively about it. In the end, you will expand your ideas.
A.I often experienced that myself.
B.It trains you to express your thoughts.
C.It allows you to see your progress over time.
D.Just use whatever tool you feel comfortable with.
E.Thinking actively helps you connect your idea to another idea.
F.And to be honest, I can't imagine what my life would be like without it.
G.Then you can do whatever necessary to avoid repeating the same mistakes.

A. In fact, you're just doing your job. B. So you have no choice but to trust them. C. Americans cannot get along well with Asians. D. It just doesn't work that way with Asian people. E. Americans are very different from Asian people. F. You can do anything you want but don t disrespect an Asian man. G. If you don t understand their culture, you will get some problems with them. |
There is a large percentage of Asian people in the US. They're hard-working, respectful but strange sometimes. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} Asian people are different from people in any other cultures. If you think you know them, you might want to think again.
How are they different? When it comes to most Asian culture, respect is everything. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} If you don't show proper respect for him, you will get some real consequences afterward and especially if he's your boss. It's something called face saving in the Asian culture. It's ridiculous sometimes but it's their culture. Sometimes their culture can come in between their relationship at work. Asian people might expect a lot of respect from their co-workers when their co-workers just see them as an equal.
{#blank#}3{#/blank#} If you re Asian, you might want to understand the American culture and even adapt to their culture if you work with them. It will be easier for you since you re in their countries. Imagine an America working in China, expecting Chinese co-workers to get along with him when he criticizes them straight out on every single matter in front of everyone, I think they will take him outside and take care of him. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}
If you're an American boss giving your Asian employee a review, you will see that they will have a problem with your negative remarks. They will think that you don t like them, disrespectful, and want to get rid of them. {#blank#}5{#/blank#} Of course, it's not fair for you as an American boss but just expect that it can be something that is on your Asian employee's mind.

A. Pay attention! B. Try to make yourself understood! C. Keep private conversations private! D. You can only control your own behavior. E. Always make yourself available of your phone. F. Follow the rules of restaurants and other public places. G. This happens all the time-on buses, in restaurants, everywhere! |
What do you do in a situation like this? You're eating dinner with friends at a nice restaurant. You're having a great time when a phone rings at the table next to you. A man takes out his phone and starts talking loudly about problems he's having with his girlfriend. He talks for almost ten minutes! {#blank#}1{#/blank#}
Many people find cell phones useful in their daily lives. But we've all sat next to someone talking too loudly on a cell phone. You may want to tell the loudmouth to end the conversation, but let the management take care of those noisy customers. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} Here are a few rules:
▪Off means off! {#blank#}3{#/blank#} If a sign says "turn off cell phones", don't use your phone.
▪{#blank#}4{#/blank#} Speak softly and for a short time. Try to move away from other people.
▪Lights off, phone off! Never make calls in a theater or at the movies.
▪{#blank#}5{#/blank#} Talking on a cell phone while driving is dangerous. And watch where you're going when you're walking down the streets and talking on the phone.
As more people use cell phones, things are only going to get worse. So, the next time you're getting ready to make a call, stop and consider the people around you.
