Life is not easy when you are looking for something worthwhile and ready to learn from the best experiences. Here are some life lessons which people will learn the hard way in majority of cases.
However people usually get discouraged when it takes more time than they thought it would. At this time, people refer only to people who have already achieved what they want to do. Look at any successful person and you'll notice one thing common in all of them: they took time to learn and mastered their skill like no one else. There is no elevator to success and you have to take the stairs.
Be brave to take the road less traveled. In our whole life, we always want to follow the same path that everyone suggests, do the same thing everyone does, take the same career path everyone takes, wear the same clothes everyone wears, and hang out with the same people we work with. Why? Because we are scared to fail. But when you get bored of life, you realize that you are not meant to do what everyone does and that your destiny is different from anyone else's out there in the world.
You don't have to live your life in a way society wants you to. Parents sometimes force their children to select a career they don't want because other children have selected that career. Worst of all, people follow them without even asking. There is no harm in believing in old beliefs but when you pursue them before your interest, sooner or later you'll realize that you should first do what you think is right.
A. It takes continuous time and effort to be successful in any area.
B. The general rule goes that the harder you try, the greater results you get.
C. Many old beliefs are being performed these days and are followed blindly.
D. It always takes tests and then fails us to learn anything worthwhile.
E. However, in most circumstances your effort and attempt go well alongside with your desired achievement.
F. But the price we pay to realize this is high because it takes a great amount of courage to follow your own path.
Lots of people stress out about talking in front of the class or getting laughed at if they make a mistake in front of an audience. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}The “stress hormones" that your body produces at times like these can actually help you focus.
But when worry and stress about performing get to be too much, these hormones give people that “red alert(紧急状态)” feeling—the one that causes you to feel cold or sweaty, or get butterflies in your stomach. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}
Be prepared. {#blank#}3{#/blank#} Rehearse(排练) as much as you can and practice in front of others at every opportunity. Most of all, think positively. Tell yourself “I'll be OK" or “I can do this" even if you are not 100% sure of it
Look after yourself. Before big performances it's easy to let taking care of yourself slip as you spend too much time on rehearsals and practice. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} Exercise can also help you feel good, and along with sleep and nutrition, is an excellent way of keeping those stress hormones from getting out of control.
Find out what the experts do. You can find books, DVDs, and online information about how to give your best when you perform, depending on what type of performance you're preparing for. {#blank#}5{#/blank#} Or ask the cast of your school play or your drama or music teacher how they beat stage fright. And if your parents or grandparents ever performed, they may have their own secrets to share.
A. Confidence helps beat stress hormones. B. The following tips can help you avoid that feeling. C. You're less likely to freeze up if you're well prepared. D. You can do this whether you're performing alone or as part of a group. E. Check out stories about Olympic gymnasts or your favorite star to get their tips. F. Feeling nervous before a performance is part of your body's way of helping you do your best. G. You'll look and feel your best if you get enough sleep and eat healthy meals before your performance. |
