Being patient will help you to keep your perspective. You’ll see even a difficult situation, say your present challenge, isn’t ―life or death‖ but simply a minor obstacle that must be dealt with. Without patience, the same scenario can become a major emergency complete with yelling, frustration, hurt feelings, and high blood pressure. It’s really not worth all that. Whether you’re needing to deal with children, your boss, or a difficult person or situation—if you don’t want to ―sweat the small stuff‖, improving your patience level is a great way to start. [共5题]

At sixteen Ron Mackie might have stayed at school, but the future called to him excitedly. ―Get out of the classroom into a job,‖ it said, and Ron obeyed. His father, supporting the decision, found a place for him in a supermarket. ―You’re lucky, Ron,‖ he said. ―For every boy with a job these days, there’s a dozen without.‖ So Ron joined the working world at twenty pounds a week.

For a year he spent his days filing shelves with tins of food. By the end of that time he was looking back on his school-days as a time of great variety (多样性) and satisfaction. He searched for an interest in his work, with little success.

One fine day instead of going to work Ron got a lift on a lorry going south. With nine pounds in his pocket, a full heart ad a great longing for the sea, he set out to make a better way for himself. That evening, in Bournemouth, he had a sandwich and a drink in a café run by an elderly man and his wife. Before he had finished the sandwich, the woman had taken him on for the rest of the summer, at twenty pounds a week, a room upstairs and three meals a day. The ease and speed of it rather took Ron’s breath away. At quite times Ron had to check the old man’s arithmetic in the records of the business.

At the end of the season, he stayed on the coast. He was again surprised how straightforward it was for a boy of 17 to make a living. He worked in shops mostly, but once he took a job in a hotel for 3 weeks. Late in October he was taken on by the sick manager of a shoe shop. Ron soon found himself in charge there; he was the only one who could keep the books. [共5题]

Ask three people to look out the same window at a busy street corner and tell you what they see. Chances are you will receive three different answers. Each person sees the same scene, but each perceives something different about it.

Perceiving goes on in our minds. Of the three people who look out the window, one may say that he sees a policeman giving a motorist a ticket. Another may say that he sees a rush hour traffic jam at the intersection. The third may tell you that he sees a woman trying to cross the street with four children in tow. For perception is the mind’s interpretation of what the senses—in this case our eyes—tell us.

Many psychologists (心理学家) today are working to try to determine just how a person experiences or perceives the world around him. Using a scientific approach, these psychologists set up experiments in which they can control all of the factors. By measuring and charting the results of many experiments, they are trying to find out what makes different people perceive totally diffe

rent things about the same scene. [共5题]
