As entrepreneurs (创业者), we had a vision, we realized it, and now we (run) our own companies. But the dream can damage our "work-life balance".

When the success of the company rests on your shoulders, you've always got an excuse to put else on hold.

What I've learned when (face) the demands of a start-up company and a young family over the past couple of decades is that sometimes the best way to solve the work-life balance problem is to think small. Make a handful of lifestyle corrections , individually, may not sound all that exciting, but taken together, can prevent you from getting too tired.

Here's my list of life hacks that will help prevent exhaustion:

●Work from home one day a week

Few things give you a more grounded, in-control feeling than getting things done in your own space and at your own pace. Instead of leaving the office (clear) my head over a Starbucks coffee, I can fold the laundry, and cut back on evening housework.

Not to mention, working in pajamas is one of life's (underestimate) pleasures.

●Pencil in time for exercise

It really bothered me with the demands of company and family, my tennis game was going down the drain. That may sound unimportant, but it wasn't to me, it was a meaningful part of my life outside of work. To get some balance back in my life, I rearranged my schedule. Two mornings a week, I woke up an hour (early) to work out with a tennis coach. If sports aren't your thing, try yoga or that hobby that you always loved but let go of after starting your business.

●Learn something new, outside the office

It can be draining to always be the person who's supposed to have the answers as a business leader. It's surprisingly liberating to be on the other side, (absorb) knowledge without the pressure to perform or to always be right.

    While {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(wait) for the airplane to take off,I was happy to get a seat by myself. Just then, {#blank#}2{#/blank#} air hostess approached me and asked,"Would you mind {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(change) your seat?A couple would like to sit together."The only possible seat was next to a girl with her arms in casts(石膏绷带),a black and blue face,and a sad {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(express)."No way am I going to sit there,"I thought {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(immediate).But a soft voice spoke,"She needs help."Finally,I decided to move to that seat.The girl was named Kathy.She was hurt in a car accident and now was {#blank#}6{#/blank#}her way to treatment. When the snacks and juice arrived,it did not take me long to realize {#blank#}7{#/blank#}Kathy would not be able to feed herself.I considered {#blank#}8{#/blank#}necessary to feed her but hesitated,as it seemed too impolite to offer a service to a stranger.But then I realized that Kathy's need was more important than my discomfort.I offered {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(help) her eat, and although she was uncomfortable to accept,she did as I expected.We became closer and closer in a short period of time.By the end of the five-hour trip,we had become friends.Love sometimes flows beyond human borders and {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(remove) the tear that keeps us separate.When we offer to serve another,we grow to live in a larger and more rewarding world.

After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.

    The biggest house of cards, the longest tongue, and of course, the tallest man: these are among the thousands of records logged in the famous Guinness Book of Records. Created in 1955 after a debate {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (concern) Europe's fastest game bird, {#blank#}2{#/blank#} began as a marketing tool sold to pub landlords {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (promote) Guinness, an Irish drink, became the bestselling copyright title of all time (a category that excludes books such as the Bible and the Koran). In time, the book would sell 120 million copies in over 100 countries— quite a leap from its humble beginnings.

    In its early years, the book set its sights on {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (satisfy) man's inborn curiosity about the natural world around him. Its two principal fact finders, twins Norris and Ross McWhirter, moved wildly around the globe to collect facts. It was their task to find and document aspects of life that can be sensed or observed, things that can be quantified or measured. But not just any things. They were only interested in superlatives: the biggest and the best. It was during this period {#blank#}5{#/blank#} some of the remarkable Guinness Records were documented, answering such questions as "What is the brightest star?" and "What is the biggest spider?"

    Once aware of the public's thirst for such knowledge, the book's authors began to branch out to cover increasingly doubtful, little-known facts. They started documenting human achievements as well. A forerunner for reality television, the Guinness Book gave people {#blank#}6{#/blank#} chance to become famous for accomplishing odd, often pointless tasks. Records were set in 1955 for consuming 24 raw eggs in 14 minutes and in 1981 for the fastest solving of a Rubik's Cube (which took a mere 38 seconds). In 1979 a man yodeled(用真假嗓音交替唱) non-stop for ten and a quarter hours.

    In its latest appearance, the book has found a new home on the internet. No longer {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (restrict) to the limits of physical paper, the Guinness World Records website contains seemingly innumerable facts concerning such topics as the most powerful combustion(燃烧) engine, or the world's longest train. What is striking, however, is that such facts are found sharing a page with the record of the heaviest train to be pulled {#blank#}8{#/blank#} a beard.

    Originating as a simple bar book, the Guinness Book of Records {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (evolve) over decades to provide insight into the full range of modern life. And although one may be {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (likely) now to learn about the widest human mouth than the highest number of casualties in a single battle of the Civil War, the Guinness World Records website offers a telling glimpse into the future of fact-finding and record-recording.
