What do the world's most successful people all have in common?
By examining the work habits of over 150 greatest writers and artists and scientist,the researchers including Stanford Professor Jeffrey Pfeffer found that high achievers like Robert Moses turn out to be all alike:
Busy! Busy!
In a study of general managers in industry,John Kotter reported that many of them worked 60 to 65 hours per week―which translates into at least six 10-hour days.The ability and willingness to work difficult and tiring hours has characterized many powerful figures.Energy and strength provide many advantages to those seeking to build power.
Just Say No!
The difference between successful people and very successful people is that very successful people say “no” to almost everything.And that's what gives them the time to accomplish so much.And focus means saying “no” to a lot of distractions.
Know What You Are!
Ignore your weakness and keep improving your strengths.Don't waste time exploring skill areas where you have little competence.Instead,focus on―and build on―your strengths

Sleep, as we know, is important to us because it helps restore tired organs and tissues in our body. But how much sleep do we actually need?
{#blank#}2{#/blank#}
For most of us, eight hours seems to be about the right amount. Yet we know that there are a great many people who get along perfectly with less sleep and some who may even need more. A great deal depends on the way we live. But a good general rule to follow is to sleep as long as we have to in order to feel happy and be able to work at our best when we are awake.
{#blank#}3{#/blank#}
There are actually different levels of sleep. There is a deep sleep and a shallow sleep. In a shallow sleep our body does not get the same kind of rest as it gets in a deep sleep, so that after eight hours of a shallow sleep we may still feel tired. But a short deep sleep can be very restful.
{#blank#}4{#/blank#}
Alexander the Great was able to get a deep sleep whenever he needed it. Once, during the night before an important battle, he remained awake longer than anyone else. Then he wrapped himself in a cloak and lay down on the earth. He slept so deeply that his generals had to wake him three times to give command to attack!
{#blank#}5{#/blank#}
Normally when we go to sleep, our “ sleep center” blocks off nerves so that both our brain and our body go to sleep. One prevents us form wanting to do anything and the other makes our internal organs and limbs go to sleep. But someone will fall asleep (brain sleep) and keep on marching, because his body is not asleep!
Spring and fall are usually thought to be enjoyable seasons. However, it is not always the case. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} It makes people suffer a lot from it.Why can't they find a cure(疗法)for the common cold?The answer is easy. There are actually hundreds of kinds of cold viruses(病毒) out there. You never know which one you will get.{#blank#}2{#/blank#}
When a virus attacks your body, your body works hard to get rid of it.{#blank#}3{#/blank#} .You feel terrible because you can't breathe well, but your body is actually eating the virus.Your temperature goes up and you get a fever, but the heat of your body is killing the virus.You also have a runny nose to stop the virus from getting into your cells.You may feel very uncomfortable, but actually your wonderful body is doing everything it can to kill the cold.
{#blank#}4{#/blank#}.In China and some other countries, for example, some people might eat chicken soup to make themselves feel better. Some people take hot baths and drink warm liquids. Other people take medicine to stop various symptoms(症状)of colds.
There is one interesting thing to note-some scientists say taking medicine when you have a cold is actually bad for you. The virus stays in your body longer because your body doesn't have a way to fight it and kill it. {#blank#}5{#/blank#}.There is a joke, however, on taking medicine when you have a cold.It goes like this: It takes about one week to get over a cold if you don't take medicine, but it takes only seven days to get over a cold if you take medicine. So you should trust the function of your body.
A. Therefore, there isn't a cure for each one. B. Different people do different thing to deal with the cold. C. The first thing you need to come up with is an idea for your cold. D. It is easy for many people to catch a cold in spring or fall. E. Bodies can indeed do an amazing job on their own. F. How much do you know about the various viruses in the world? G.
