For them, the temperature is never right, the boss is always a fool, the canteen food is awful, and they (21) _ (treat) unfairly. Career experts say such habitual complaine

15、rs are highly contagious(会蔓延的) , (22) _ attitude can easily affect an entire team in a company. “While some complaints might be reasonable, (23) _ are taken from thin air. You need to see between these different types and adopt the right strategy - 4 -towards each,” said Li Ling, HR manager at Wal-M

16、art (China).Its especially hard to deal with complaints at work (24) _ you cant just walk away or put your colleagues words out of mind. If you do, it will hurt your co-workers and you (25) _ be isolated. In a team-based company you belong to a group and need to behave accordingly. But dont show too

17、 much sympathy. Listening passively to others complaints could damage your image and give others the impression that you agree with them. “Listen to the whiners actively,” says HR Li. “Help them find a solution, or see (26) _ there are ways to improve the situation.” Zhai Min, 24, a software enginee

His co-workers always complain that their computer systems are not working properly. “I ask about the specifics and work together with them (29) _ (fix) everything technic

20、ally.” he said. HR managers believe that when staffs complain, it is more a matter of recognition than an actual problem. “The real problem is that the whiners dont feel they are being taken seriously,” said Xu Jun, HR manager at Guangqi Honda Automobile Co., Ltd. “(30) _ (give) them advice or persp

24、scientists looked at more than 1,200 elderly individuals who lived in community environments.

They had t

25、o rate themselves on different areas. Their answers were used to work out whether they felt their life had meaning and that they felt they were working towards goals. The (36) _ score on the sense-of-purpose measurement was 3.7 out of possible 5.When comparing the scores, the investigators (37) _ th

26、at participants who had a higher sense of purpose had nearly 50% less of the risk of dying during the follow-up period.

39、racy. He - 8 -said: “The differences between successful people and unsuccessful people is that successful people fail many more times than unsuccessful people.” I deeply understood the wisdom of the quote soon after my fist book was published.I was living in Atlanta at the time and arranged my first

40、 signing sale for my new book at the phoenix and Dragon, the largest bookstore in the city. Although a nice sign was placed outside the room exhibiting images of both me and my book, not a single customer entered the room. Do they not like the title? I wondered. Do they not like the book cover? Afte

41、r 90 minutes, I was absolutely distraughtdistraught.For the four years writing the book, I had felt a sense of mission and purpose like never before in my life. Working a full 8-hour day in my clinic, I had to get into bed by 9:30 pm every day, so I could wake up at 5:30 in the morning and have two

42、hours of writing before heading into my clinic. Before I ever began each writing session, I would close my eyes for 10 minutes and then whisper, ”Please grant me the words to touch just one persons life.”Now, sitting there alone at my first book signing, I wondered if my entire life wasnt just a big

43、 joke. At that moment, just when I couldnt feel any worse, a middle-aged couple walked into the room. I managed to hide my emotions and introduced myself and my book. The couple turned the pages each other, and the husband nodded to his wife. She then told me, “I think well get the book.” Despite th

44、e impulse (冲动）to jump in the air, and hold their hands to thank them for being my first readers, I realized the woman was trying to say something else. “The reason were buying it,” she said hesitantly, “is because our son committed suicide two years ago. Maybe your story will help us get over it.”At

45、 that moment, I knew if I never sold another copy of the book, my four years of writing it had served its purpose. Although I would have many more challenging years until my book became a bestseller, this couples story was all the motivation I needed at that point to keep me ahead. Thanks to them, I

46、 would realize that the greatest of lives are made all in the same way: One - 9 -challenge . one challenge . one difficulty . one step . and one small victory at a time.56.
