An English traveller found himself in Norway with only enough money to buy the ticket for his journey back home. As he knew that it would take him only two days to get to England, he decided that he could easily spend the time without food. So he bought a ticket and got on the ship. The man closed his ears to the sound of the lunch bell. When dinner time came, he didn't go to the dining room, saying that he was not feeling very well.

    The next morning, he still didn't have breakfast and at lunch time he again stayed in his room. But at dinner time he was so hungry that he went to the dining room and ate everything the waiter put in front of him. He got ready for the quarrel(争吵).

     “Bring me the bill,” he said. “The bill, sir?” said the waiter in surprise. “There isn't any bill. On our ship meals are included(包括)in the money for the ticket,'' said the waiter.

How to Be Successful in a New Environment?

Perhaps，you are a smart person with good knowledge and creative ideas，but when you move to a new environment or have to work with some new people

Be curious and be willing to learn new things and skills. Moving to a new working environment，you may need to deal with things that don't belong to your own field. In such a case，people who are more willing to learn new things can meet new requirements in their job. 

Have a good sense of judgment on important things. Learning or working in a new environment，you need to have a good sense of judgment when you join a discussion or make a decision. You should consider what is right，and look for long﹣term goals. 

Be confident when talking to people. When you go out and meet people，it is important to look confident. For example，if you are going to an interview，what can you do?Before you walk in，think to yourself，walk in holding your head high and smile. Remember to look other people in the eye—it's the key to creating a connection with people. Soon，you will feel as confident as you look. 

Set clear goals and learn. When working together with others，it is important that you have a clear goal and a working plan to achieve it. Let people know what you support. You need to find out which ideas can really unite people and then express those ideas clearly. Also，treat your team members respectfully as equals.
