colors,but all boys have the same belief:toenjoy every second of every minute of every hour of every day and to fillthe air with noise until the adult males pack them off to bed at night.Boys are found everywhere on top of,under,inside of,climbing on,swinging from,running around,or jumping to.Mothers spoil them,littlegirls hate them,older sisters and brothers love them,and God protectsthem.A boy is TRUTH with dirt on its face,BEAUTY with a cut on its finger,WISDOM with chocolate in its hair,and the HOPE of the future with asnake in its pocket.When you are busy,a boy is a trouble maker and a noise.When youwant him to make a good impression,his brain turns to jelly or else hebecomes a wild creature bent on destroying the world and himself with it.A boy is a mixture he has the stomach of a horse,the digestion(消化力)of stones and sand,the energy of an atomic bomb,the curiosity ofa cat,the imagination of a superman,the shyness of a sweet girl,thebrave nature of a bull,the violence of a

centsand some unknown things.A boy is a magical creature he is your headache but when youcome home at night with only shattered pieces of your hopes anddreams,he can mend them like new with two magic

greatness.”Although my focus wasfor teenagers,the principles I shared certainly apply to adults as well.Recently I was asked to list these three things.Now for your benefit herethey are again.Firstly,set goals.I call it the view of the future.Most people,includingkids,will pay the price if they can see the promise of the future.So weneed to help our kids see a clear future,and they will be ready to pay theprice today to attain the rewards of tomorrow.Goals help them do this.Secondly,pay attention to personal development.Simply makingconsistent investments in our education and knowledge we will benefitthroughout our lives.I suggest having an amount of time set aside forreading books,listening to recording,attending discussion,keeping ajournal and spending time with other successful people.Mr Jonesrecommends reading a lot as a good method of improving yourself.Thesimple fact is that you need to change your outlook on life and onyourself,as it will have a positive influence on your personality andoutlook.You should learn something new about your profession everysingle day until youre an expert in the field.Thirdly,make a financial plan.I call it the 70/30 plan.After receivingyour salary,simply setting aside 10%for saving,10%for investing and 10%for giving,the rest for your life.And over time when you have your ownfamily this will guarantee financial independence for you.If people focus on doing these three simple things over a long periodof time,I believe they will be surely successful!8.The advantage of setting goals is that _.A.youll know the
