Treat them with 50.During the course, let your 51 come through so that they feel as if you make person-to-person communication with them. They will surely 52 your thoughtfulness and find your speech enjoyable.

Self-confidence does not necessarily imply a belief in one's ability to succeed. For instance, one may be at a particular sport or activity, but remain "confident", simply because one does not a great deal of emphasis on the result of the activity. When one does not always think of negative results, one can be more "self-confident" because one is far less about failure or the of others following potential failure. One is then more likely to focus on the actual situation, which means that enjoyment and success in that situation is also more probable. Belief in one's abilities to perform an activity comes successful experience and may add to a general sense of self-confidence. Studies have also found a between high levels of confidence and wages. , those who self-report they were confident earlier in schooling earned better wages and were promoted more quickly over the life course.

When we’re young, we dream of love and fulfillment. We perhaps think of nights in the moon or walks along the beach at sunset.
No one tells us that the moments of a lifetime are flashing by, unplanned and nearly always catch us off guard.
Not long ago, as I was reading a bedtime story to my seven-year-old daughter, Annie, I became aware of her look. She was staring at me with a charmed expression. , completing The Tale of Samuel Whiskers was not as as we first thought. I asked what she was thinking about.
"Mommy," she , "I just can't stop looking at your pretty face."I almost dissolved on the spot.
Not long after, I took my four-year-old son to an elegant department store, where the sweet notes of a classic love song us toward a musician playing a grand piano. Sam and I sat down on a marble bench nearby, and he seemed as absorbed in the pleasant as I was.
I didn't realize that Sam had next to me until he turned, took my face in his little hands and said, " with me."
those women walking under the Paris moon knew the of such an invitation made by a round-cheeked boy with baby teeth! Although openly laughed and pointed at us as we glided and whirled around the open atrium(中庭), I would not have a dance with such a charming young gentleman if I'd been offered the universe.

Water shows us how to move through the world with grace, bravery, determination, and __ __. Water is brave and does not waste time sticking to its past, but flows onward without looking back.

Similarly, we can face the dark moments of our life rather than run away from them.
_ _, a river will empty into the sea. Water does not hold back from joining up with a larger body, nor does it fear a loss of _ __ or control.

Some people think if you are happy, you are blind to reality. But when we research it, happiness actually every single business and educational outcome for the brain. Why do people have this social about happiness? Because we assumed you were average.
Many people think happiness is genetic. That’s only half the story. When we stop studying the average and begin positive outliers — people who are above average for a positive aspect like optimism or intelligence — a different picture appears. Our daily decisions and habits have a huge impact upon both our levels of happiness and success.
, happiness is a choice. It is a choice about where your single processor brain will devote its limited resources as you process the world. If you scan for the first, your brain really has no resources left over to see the things you are grateful for or the meaning embedded (嵌入) in your work. But if you scan it the other way round, you start to acquire an advantage.
