What A Real Leader Does
Is a leader merely a manager? What should we expect from our leaders?
Yes, we do need leaders. On our own, we lack the vision, direction, and strength to reach our goals. We were all in need of guidance when we were children--even the cleverest child could not possibly be expected to make certain crucial decisions. Once we become adults, with the capacity to reason for ourselves, we are facing so many pressures of daily survival that we rarely find time and energy to focus on life’s larger issues. And when we do, our emotions and subjectivity limit our vision and our movement. When we are occupied with our self-interest--petty or great, a leader sends out a wake-up call, alerting us to seek the true priorities in life.
With so many people trying to be leaders these days, how do we recognize a true leader? To answer this question, we must step back and ask:
A true leader wants nothing more than to make people stand on their own, as leaders in their own right. Instead of trying to blind us with his or her brilliance, a true leader reflects our own light back to us, so that we can see ourselves anew.
The differences between a leader and a boss: A boss drives their employees, and a leader coaches them. A boss inspires fear, and a leader generates enthusiasm. A boss says “I”, and a leader says “We”. A boss places blame for breakdowns, and a leader fixes them.
Decide now. Decide today. Are you going to be a real leader? Are you going to develop real leaders? Remember, a leader with vision has a clear, vivid picture of where to go, as well as a firm grasp on what success looks like and how to achieve it.
| A．A leader provides a new perspective, inspiring us to abandon our narrow field of vision. |
| B．This sense of urgency is just as important in a leader as a sense of vision. |
| C．And do we really need leaders in the first place? |
| D．Are you going to inspire and generate enthusiasm? |
E. We have a CEO who can direct thousands of employees toward a single objective, and politicians who inspire millions of citizens to support them.
F. What is it that a leader is really trying to accomplish?
G. A boss knows how it is done, and a leader shows how it is done.
If you’re having trouble getting good sleep through the night (turning，waking up more than once，for example)，this text will tell you what you can do to ensure a peaceful night’s sleep.
1．Get on schedule. Changing your sleeping time by more than an hour can severely disturb your sleep quality. For example，if you normally wake up at 6 am on weekdays to get to work，you might go to bed around 10 pm，because that’s when you start to feel sleepy，and it’s also a good time to ensure 8 hours of sleep. If，on the weekend，you sleep until 9 am，you probably won’t be able to fall asleep that night until 1 am.
2. Wait at least three hours after dinner before going to sleep. Digestion slows down while asleep，and a full stomach may interrupt sleep .Similarly，you should avoid going to bed on an empty stomach，as a completely empty stomach may equally disturb your sleeping patterns.
3． Exposure to light during the time when you’re supposed to be sleeping can disrupt your body’s internal clock. Turn your light off，or use a very dim night light.
They include windows，LED clocks，computer lights and cable boxes.
4．Change your sleeping position. You may think that it’s impossible to control what position you sleep in since you aren’t fully aware of what you are doing，but it is possible and it can make a considerable difference.
| A．Try to avoid all sources of light. |
| B．Keep the room as dark as possible. |
| C．Make note of unusual circumstances. |
| D．Be mindful of what you eat or drink before bed. |
E．Sleep is considered to be adequate only when there is no daytime sleepiness.
F．In other words，sudden change of sleeping time will affect your “biological clock”．
G．If you wake up in the middle of the night，make an effort to have a comfortable position.
Health is the most important thing in the world. Nothing is more important than health. If we take away our money, houses, or even our clothes, we can still survive.______That is why we always try to eat in a healthy way and exercise regularly.

______ Taking exercise every day helps us build a strong body. Regular exercise is an important part of keeping me healthy.
What’s more, I think friends are an important part of one’s health. _____I always feel better when I am with friends than I am alone. When I am with friends, I always laugh .Laughing is also an important part of health. It's good to stay with my friends.

How Can I Fight Laziness?
Lazy people will never gain anything in life. However, laziness can be defeated once a few changes have been made in your mind. Many people lack sleep constantly, since they stay up too late and get up too early to prepare for work. These people have little motivation once they arrive home. Laziness works hand in hand with a lack of motivation and a tendency to put off things. By adjusting your sleep schedule to provide a few more hours of meaningful rest, you can fight laziness throughout the day.
Another way to fight laziness is to change your mind from passive to active. Some people treat their lives as if they were pushed from task to task. Others take a more positive approach, viewing each task as a challenge they must overcome alone.
Some people fight laziness by removing the temptations(诱惑) that surround them. A television in the living room may provide entertainment, but watching too much TV often contributes to laziness. Complete a few tasks and reward yourself with what you enjoy, such as a good dinner or a film.
Laziness can also be a lasting problem at home. Couples and children may all have different energy levels, but laziness can be spread if not dealt with immediately. Be the first to collect and wash dishes after a meal. Others in the home may eventually follow your example and perform their own task. It is difficult to practice laziness when you are surrounded by motivated people.
Enough exercise and a balanced diet can help you to develop a healthy lifestyle, thus enabling you to have more energy and help lift your spirits.
| A．To fight family laziness, set an example. |
| B．Knowing how to fight laziness is important. |
| C．One way to fight laziness is to get enough sleep. |
| D．Finally, taking exercise regularly can help you fight laziness. |
E. With strong determination, you will be able to achieve your goal.
F. Laziness appears when you no longer feel in charge of your own mind.
G. Create a reward system for yourself, just as parents do for a child.
