28、ake at least annually. 英文短篇励志美文 篇5 Three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, have governed my life: the longing for love, the search for knowledge, and unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind. These passions, like great winds, have blown me hither and thither, in a wayward course, over

29、a deep ocean of anguish, reaching to the very verge of despair.

34、e offered me. 英文短篇励志美文 篇6 Think about the last time you felt a negative emotion-like stress, anger, or frustration. What was going through your mind as you were going through that negativity?

35、 in the middle of a very stressful time, or you feel angry or frustrated, stop. Yes, thats right, stop. Whatever youre doing, stop and sit for one minute.

38、n, ask yourself if youre willing to carry that negativity with you for the rest of the day. If not, take a deep breath. As you exhale, release all that negativity with your breath. This exercise seems simple-almost too simple. But, it is very effective. By allowing that negative emotion the space to

39、 be truly felt, you are dealing with the emotion rather than stuffing it down and trying not to feel it.

Besides, every time I try, I am constantly outdone by my husband. I bought my children bubble gum flavored toothpaste and I taught them how to brush their

48、m upside down so they can walk on the ceiling or prop them on my shoulders so they can see the moths flying inside of the light fixture2. I can take them to doctor appointments, scout meetings, or field trips to the aquarium3, but Ill never go into the wilderness, skewer4 a worm on a hook, reel in5 a fish, and cook it over an open flame on a piece of tin foil6. Ill even sit in the first row of every Little League game and cheer until my th
