Investing in yourself
Figuring out how to invest your money can be a difficult task. This is something that you will want to learn how to do.
Things that will improve your knowledge, skills or health are all great investments. However, before you start, you need to be clear about what you will gain out of doing all of these things.
You may think investing in yourself means investing in your education.. There are some other things you can do as well as buying a gym membership or learning a new skill.
So what are some specific things you can do? . Reading books can really expand your mind and allow you to learn different skills and gain knowledge. I’m talking about the books where you will actually learn a new skill, not fiction books.
You can also take courses and attend seminars. These programs are taught by people with a high level of knowledge or skill. . Only in this way can you avoid being fooled by some sales presentation.
Moreover, investing in yourself is a safe way to keep your money. Although a savings account is seen as the most secure investment, that isn’t 100% safe. Even if you never experience your bank closing down, the return is little when inflation(通货膨胀) is taken into consideration. . But over time, they will show up in terms of your happiness level as well as your level of success.
| A．This is just one way. |
| B．The benefits will stay with you. |
| C．If you aren’t a reader, you should start with that. |
| D．The more you do this, the more valuable you will be. |
E. Of course, you need to do some research before investing.
F. The best way to invest your money is to invest it in yourself.
G. When you invest in yourself, you may not see gains right away.-----

| A. Name of the same history textbook. B. Benefits of sharing the same textbook. C. The origin of the idea of the same history book. D. The dislike for each other. E. The same history textbook in France and Germany F. Reasons for the hatred between France and Germany . |
High—school students in France and Germany are to learn modern history from the same textbook starting in the 2012 school year. It’s thought that the new book will help the next generation of the French and Germans develop a shared European identity. The book, called “Historie/Geschichte”, the French and German words for history, was co-written by historians from both countries. It will provide students from both sides of the Rhine(莱茵河) with the different explanations of their common history.
The idea for the books came about in 2008, when high school students from both countries celebrated the 45th anniversary of the Elysee Treaty(爱丽舍条约)， a friendship agreement signed to show that France and Germany had buried their post—war differences. The students’ suggestion soon got strong support from both governments. “The big lesson is that hatred won’t last forever,” said French Education Minister Gilles de Robien. “This book allows us to create a shared future and build on our past,” he added.
However, the French and Germans both have their own different origins, styles and culture. According to a survey by leading French newspaper Le Figaro (费加罗报)，the French regard Germans as being highly disciplined and hard-working, while the Germans see the French as proud and shallow. So they don’t like each other.
Conflicts between France and Germany have been existing over the years. The defeated power was robbed of its resources. Things were at the top in the two world wars, which further damaged relations. Many people lost their families, and hatred increased. Europe was seriously damaged by the conflicts.
The wars’ bitter lessons told the two powers that they needed to unite in order to rise to their feet. Now France and Germany have put an end to their age-old rivalry(敌对状态)，and they try to work together as the engines driving Europe forward. “The book is another milestone in Franco-German relations,” Peter Miler, a German official said. He said that it’s the first time that two nations have sat down and written history together. “If France and Germany can do it, why shouldn’t other countries follow suit?”

We are all called upon to make a speech at some point in life, but most of us don’t do a very good job.
So, you have to give a speech and you are terrified. You get nervous, you forget what you want to say, you stumble over words, you talk too long, and you bore your audience. Later you think, “Thank Goodness, it’s over. I’m just not good at public speaking. I hope I never have to do that again.”
Cheer up! Here are some simple steps to take the pain out of speech making. Ask yourself the purpose of your speech. What is the occasion? Why are you speaking? Then, gather as many facts as you can on your subject. Spend plenty of your time doing your research. Then spend plenty of your time organizing your material so that your speech is clear and easy to follow. Use as many examples as possible, and use pictures, charts, and graphs if they help you make your points more clearly.
Don’t talk over their heads, and don’t talk down to them. Treat your audience with respect. They will appreciate your thoughtfulness.
Just remember: Be prepared. Know your subject, your audience, and the occasion. Be brief. And be yourself. Let your personality come through so that you make person-to-person contact with your audience. If you follow these simple steps, you will see that you don’t have to be afraid of public speaking.

Get your passport and visa early! Learn about the money. Bring some of it, and a credit card, with you.
Once you are there
After the first few weeks overseas, many students will feel a little homesick. They may miss their family, friends, and familiar ways of doing things. When you feel sad or homesick, try to talk to others, or write about your feelings in a notebook.

Attitudes Wired in Happy and Successful Brains
I’ve carefully examined happy and successful people from all different professions —actors, scientists, comedians, musicians, etc. They share very similar philosophies. Here are some of the fundamental attitudes and beliefs that contribute to their happiness and success:
◆ ①
This is one of the most commonly recited mottos in self-improvement. Individuals who see their mistakes and failures as a learning experience are much more prone to happiness and success.
When we adopt the belief that “failure is a part of learning,” we become more resilient and courageous in the face of new challenges.
Instead of avoiding situations where we may embarrass ourselves, we embrace these challenges in life, even when we know they can be risky and painful. When we do fail, we don’t see it as the end of the world, but a point to improve upon.
◆ ②
Many people are great at finding problems and being critical about their lives; however, they do this without ever suggesting a possible solution or alternative to their situation.
They complain about this and that, but they never take an active role to actually improve these things. They focus on problems not to learn from them or fix them, but to make excuses for why their lives are miserable and unpleasant.
I believe acknowledging problems in life is important. I don’t recommend that we ignore things in our life that disturb us or make us unhappy. However, it’s also important to think of ways we can actually respond to these problems and change our circumstances.
Ruminating over problems in our life without a plan to take action is not only a waste of time, but it makes us even more sad and depressed. If you’re going to be critical about something in your life, focus on the ways you can actually make a difference.
◆ ③
Happy and successful people are incredibly grateful for their lives and everything they have: their relationships, their home, their job, their possessions, their talents, their achievements, etc.
Although successful people are often thought of as always hungry and striving – always trying to improve things, achieve their goals, and make things better – this inner drive doesn’t take away from the fact they are very happy and content with their lives.
Gratitude is an irreplaceable characteristic of true happiness and success. Even if we achieve great things in life, without gratitude we often find ourselves empty and discontent. Make sure you take the time to reflect on how lucky you are as a person (I believe everyone can find something to be grateful for).
◆ ④
Happy and successful individuals know that we can learn a lot from other happy and successful individuals. Having peopled to look up to is a great resource for learning the beliefs and habits that contribute to other people’s success, and then modeling those beliefs and habits in our own lives.
If you want to improve a particular area of your life, then find a couple of people who already excel in that area of life. Study them. Ask them questions. Have them show you their technique and share their stories.
The more willing you are to learn from others, the more successful you will be. Talking and listening to others is one of the best ways to get more perspective into what you want to improve in life — and how you can do it.
