10、 and you might make it through what I call the school of life.Use your headYouve to have smarts to survive in this world. Anytime you need tomake a move, stop and think. Obviously therell be times when you need to take action first, but if youve been taking the time to plan, youll always make the ri
11、ght decision. Fail to plan; plan to fail.Finish the jobIn my team, you finish the job or we finish you. Your focus should be on building a foundation of solid and complete work. Figure out a list of what you have to do and start with the biggest and most difficult task. The key here is focus.Respect
12、 your superiorsYour boss is in his position for a reason, despite what you might think of him. If hes not the best one, be patient hell be out of there soon. In the meanwhile, you have to respect him as your superior. That means following orders and biting your tongue. If you dont respect your boss,
13、 how do you expect the people under you to do?Keep your coolYou should never let your emotions control you. You should learn to keep calm.

16、.All of your favorite education D.Hoping for a chance to succeedBOn my first job as a sports editor for the Montpelier Leader Enterprise, I didnt get a lot of fan mail, so I was intrigued by a letter plopped on my desk one morning. The envelope bore the logo of the closest big-city paper, the Toledo
17、 Blade. When I opened it, I read:“Sweet piece of writing on the Tigers. Keep up the good work.”It was signed by Don Wolfe, the sports editor. Because I was a teenager (being paid the grand total of 15 cents a column inch), his words could not have been more exciting. I kept the letter in my desk dra
18、wer until it got rag-eared. Whenever I doubted I had the right stuff to be a writer, I would reread Dons note and walk on air again. Later, when I got to know him, I learned that Don made a habit of writing a quick, encouraging word to people in all walks of life. “When I make others feel good about
19、 themselves,” he told me, “I feel good, too.” Why are upbeat note writers in such short supply? My guess is that many who shy away from the practice are too self-conscious. They are afraid they will be misunderstood, sound old-fashioned or flattering. Also, writing takes time and it is far easier to
20、 pick up the phone. The drawback with phone calls, of course, is that they do not last. A note attaches more importance to our well-wishing. It is a matter of record, and our words can be read more than once, appreciated, and treasured. What does it take to write notes that lift spirits and warm hea
21、rts? Perhaps just a desire and a willingness to express our appreciation. The most successful people write notes that are short on words and long onfeeling, sincere, short, specific, and usually spontaneous(无意识的)in nature. It is difficult to be spontaneous, however, when you have to hunt for letter
22、writing materials; so, keep paper, envelopes, and stamps close at hand, even when you travel. Fancy stationery is not necessary; its the thought that counts. So, who around you deserves a note of thanks or approval? A neighbor, your librarian, a relative, your mate, a teacher, or your doctor? You do
23、 not need to be poetic. If you need a reason, look for a milestone, the anniversary of a special event you shared, a birthday, or holiday, and do not hold back your praise. Such words as: “greatest,” “smartest,” “prettiest” make us all feel good. Even if your praises run a little ahead of reality, r

Ten years ago, many urban schools w
28、ere reporting dropout rates between 35 and 50 percent. Some administrators believe that dropout remains the single greatest problem in their schools. Consequently, much effort has been spent on identifying students with problems in order to give them more attention before they become failures. Since
29、 the dropout problem doesnt only start in senior high school, special programs in junior high school focus on students who show promise but have a record of truancy, that is, staying away from school without permission.

30、teachers who have had success in working with similar young people. Ways to motivate students in high school include rewarding academic excellence by electing scholars of the month, or by giving out clothing, such as school letter jackets formally given only to athletes. No one working with these students claims to know how to keep all students in school. Counselors, teachers, and administrators are in the frontlines of what seems at times to be a losing battle.
