Useful Paragraph 第4步 誦讀短篇
When you had fallen to the bottom of your life , every people around you would tell you :Be hard-bitten and be happy ! To be hard-bitten would be necessary , but be happy ? Even in that serious occasion ? But you should at least keep calm , calmly facing and calmly treating . If you have obtained the calmness , without happy and without unhappy , you then have possessed the power for rebirth .
在你跌入人生谷底的時候,你身旁所有的人都告訴你:要堅強,而且要快樂!堅強是絕對需要的,但是快樂?在這種情形下,恐怕是太為難你了。但是至少可以做到平靜。平靜地看待這件事,平靜地把其他處理的事處理好。平靜,沒有快樂,也沒有不快樂。能做到這一點,你就已經有了復元的能量。
Cultural Background 第5步 了解文化
在美國旅游的時候,如果選擇旅行社,基本上都是走馬觀花,旅行社開車帶你到一個地方,之后給你10分鐘的自由活動時間,然后再開到下一個景點。因此,在這期間游客能做的事情就只有拍幾張照片而已。但如果選擇自助游,感覺就完全不同了,觀光的時間可以自行支配,所以總能觀賞到很別致的景色,當然也會有些累。不過只要計劃好路線,將目的地的幾個景點串起來,之后尋找一條最佳路線,就可以擁有一個愉快充實的旅行了。
