5 Golden Lessons from Steve Jobs

51._________

The only limit of innovation is your imagination. Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower. It’s time for you to begin thinking out of the box. If you are involved in a growing industry, think of ways to become more efficient, more customer-friendly, and easier to do business with. And remember that procrastination is not an option here. Start innovating now!

52._________

Do what you love. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle. As with all matters of the heart, you’ll know when you find it. Seek out an occupation that gives you a sense of meaning, direction and satisfaction in life. It not only contributes to health and longevity, but also makes you feel better in difficult times. Do you jump out of bed on Monday mornings and look forward to the work week? If the answer is “no”, keep looking, you’ll know when you find it.

53._________

There’s a phrase in Buddhism, “Beginner’s mind.” It is the kind of mind that can see things as they are, which step by step and in a flash can realize the original nature of everything. Beginner’s mind is Zen practice in action. It is the mind that is innocent of preconceptions and expectations, judgments and prejudices. Think of beginner’s mind as the mind that faces life like a small child, full of curiosity and wonder and amazement.

54._________

I’m the only person I know that’s lost a quarter of a billion dollars in one year. It’s very character-building. Don’t equate making mistakes with being a mistake. There is no such thing as a successful person who has not failed or made mistakes, there are successful people who made mistakes and changed their lives or performance in response to them, and so got it right the next time. They viewed mistakes as warnings rather than signs of hopeless inadequacy. Never making a mistake means never living life to the full.

55._________

Don’t be trapped by the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of other’s opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary. No doubt, it’s your life and you have every right to spend it in your own individual way without any hurdles or barriers from others. Give yourself a chance to live a life that YOU choose and be your own boss in a fear-free and pressure-free climate. So go ahead, give them a try.

What am I going to wear today? That daily question often wastes us tune and causes stress. Some people have many clothes and might still think. There '* nothing to wear "Hut. What if they have only six Items of clothing to choose from and wear for an entire month? That’s the idea behind Six Items or Less.

Six Items or Less is a social experiments, a gentle way of saying "no" to fashion consumerism (消費(fèi)主義)and the high cost of clothing. Heidi Hackemer came up with the idea. She shared the idea with her friends. And all of a sudden, they had almost 100 people from around the world saying that they wanted to take part in this experiment.

It was an interesting month for them. Hackemcr was surprised at how few people notice that. She was wearing the same six items the whole month. Having fewer choices reduced stress in her life. "I learned what's really important and what's really worth stressing. I also into found that this simplicity exists in other parts of my life. I realized that physical things that we allow into our world really block our mind. And our mind can be quite a powerful and positive if we clear up a little bit."

Kristy Hogue said the experiment inspired her to reexamine her life. Within six items, at first she was really excited and everything was working out perfectly and she never got bored. Then she started to feel a little bored. Then she eventually accepted it and started to be more relaxed .

Alexander was one of the 40 men "Sixers". The most difficult part for him was having to wash clothes by hand every clay. Hut the experiments changed his perspective (觀念)on what makes people happy. " We have many choices for everything . But all those choices don't necessarily lead up to any kind of satisfaction ion. We are any about novelty ( 新鮮事) In fact, slowing down little bit and considering your choices a little tightly, actually leads to more time, more happiness and more content.

When milk arrived on the doorstep

When I was a boy growing up in New Jersey in the 1960s, we had a milkman delivering milk to our doorstep. His name was Mr. Basille. He wore a white cap and drove a white truck. As a 5-year-old boy, I couldn’t take my eyes off the coin changer fixed to his belt. He noticed this one day during a delivery and gave me a quarter out of his coin changer.

Of course, he delivered more than milk. There was cheese, eggs and so on. If we needed to change our order, my mother would pen a note-“Please add a bottle of buttermilk next delivery”-and place it in the box along with the empty bottles. And then, the buttermilk would magically appear.

All of this was about more than convenience. There existed a close relationship between families and their milkmen. Mr. Basille even had a key to our house, for those times when it was so cold outside that we put the box indoors, so that the milk wouldn’t freeze. And I remember Mr. Basille from time to time taking a break at our kitchen table, having a cup of tea and telling stories about his delivery.

There is sadly no home milk delivery today. Big companies allowed the production of cheaper milk, thus making it difficult for milkmen to compete. Besides, milk is for sale everywhere, and it may just not have been practical to have a delivery service.

Recently, an old milk box in the countryside I saw brought back my childhood memories. I took it home and planted it on the back porch (門廊). Every so often my son’s friends will ask what it is. So I start telling stories of my boyhood, and of the milkman who brought us friendship along with his milk.

A. to show his magical power                                   B. to pay for the delivery

43. Why does home milk delivery no longer exist?

A. Nobody wants to be a milkman now.

B. It has been driven out of the market.

C. Its service is getting poor.

D. It is forbidden by law.

44. Why did the author bring back home an old milk box?
