Have you heard of the story of the four-minute miles? Many years ago, people believed that it was impossible for a human being to run a mile in less than four minutes until Roger Banister proves it wrong in 1954.

What happens if you put an animal in a pond? Any animal, big or small, will swim its way through. What happens when people, who do not know how to swim, fall in deep waters? They drown. If an animal who has not learned swimming could escape by swimming, why not you? Because you believe you will drown while the animal does not.

Have you ever wondered why the letters are organized in a particular order on your keyboard? You might have thought it is to increase the typing speed. But the fact is that this system was developed to reduce the typing speed at a time when typewriter parts would jam (堵塞) if the operator typed too fast.

These three cases show the power of our beliefs. There is no other more powerful directing force in human behavior than belief. Your beliefs have the power to create and to destroy. A belief delivers command to your nervous system.

I used a snake in my workshops of children to learn how unrealistic some of their beliefs are. Students of a school in India, said snakes were slippery, slimy(黏糊糊的)  and poisonous. After doing an exercise for changing beliefs, they handled my snake and found it to be dry and clean. They also remembered that only three types of poisonous snakes exist in India.

Did this story end the way you thought? Review your beliefs now and find out which ones you need to change.

Norman Cousins was a businessman from the United States who often traveled around the world on business. He enjoyed his work and traveling.

Are you fond of tomatoes? Bunol, a town in Spain, held its yearly tomato festival on the last Wednesday of August. Thousands and thousands of people made their way from all corners of the world to fight in it, the world’s biggest food fight. Tons of fully-grown tomatoes were thrown in the streets.

No one knows exactly how this event started. Maybe it came from a local food fight between friends, or a joke that was played on a bad musician.

On Wednesday, at 11am, the fight began. A cannon(大炮) shot was fired to start the fight. At first, people fought one another, but slowly they began to fight in groups. After exactly one hour, the fight ended when the cannon shot was fired once more. At this point, no more tomatoes could be thrown.

Those who attend this event are encouraged to wear protective glasses. And they must press the tomatoes before throwing so that they won’t hurt others. Another rule is that no one is allowed to take anything — such as a glass bottle — into the fight. Although it is forbidden to tear(扯破) another person’s clothing, the crowd seems to tear the shirt of any clothed person, whether they are men or women.

Fire trucks are used to clean the streets after the fight with water provided from a Roman channel (海峽). The government seems more concerned with cleaning up the town than the visitors, and people go to the Bunol River for a wash.

A. Nobody knows how it really started.

B. Only people from Spain can take part in it.

The seven Cs of a good letter

What is the secret of writing a good letter? Here are two main ones. Don’t try to be complicted(復(fù)雜的). Don’t try to impress（留下深刻印象）your reader. You will be successful if you follow these seven Cs.

Clear. Use short, direct sentences.       Just imagine that the reader is right there with you .Above all, don’t use an introduction.

Correct.          Don’t guess, even for spelling. Refer to your dictionary. If you need to , check a reference(參考) book too. Use them as much as you need to.

Complete(完整的). Don’t scatter(使分散) our points.       This is good organization too.

Courteous（禮貌的）. Be friendly rather than overly casual. Present your information nicely even if you are complaining about something . In all letters, treat others as you want them to treat you.

Concise(簡(jiǎn)潔的). Make each point as clearly and briefly as you can.

Conversational(會(huì)話的). This is really the secret of good writing.     .  Such a letter has a natural, friendly tone(語(yǔ)氣). Let your personality come through naturally.

Considerate(體貼的;考慮周到的).      Write about what you believe the reader needs or wants to know. Try to be helpful. This will build good feeling towards you.

The seven Cs are about writing letters. But how about school papers? Use the seven Cs. Write as if you are talking to your teacher or professor. You’ll be surprised. You’ll almost instantly become a good writer. And you might even enjoy writing from now on.

Just “talk”to the person

Think of the readers’point of view as you write.

Make them easy to understand.

Include long sentences in your letter.

Make sure what you say is correct.

Writing should not be taken too seriously.

G. Finish one point completely before going on to the next.
