Useful Paragraph 第4步 诵读短篇
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时候,你身旁所有的人都告诉你:要坚强,而且要快乐!坚强是绝对需要的,但是快乐?在这种情形下,恐怕是太为难你了。但是至少可以做到平静。平静地看待这件事,平静地把其他处理的事处理好。平静,没有快乐,也没有不快乐。能做到这一点,你就已经有了复元的能量。
Cultural Background 第5步 了解文化
在美国旅游的时候,如果选择旅行社,基本上都是走马观花,旅行社开车带你到一个地方,之后给你10分钟的自由活动时间,然后再开到下一个景点。因此,在这期间游客能做的事情就只有拍几张照片而已。但如果选择自助游,感觉就完全不同了,观光的时间可以自行支配,所以总能观赏到很别致的景色,当然也会有些累。不过只要计划好路线,将目的地的几个景点串起来,之后寻找一条最佳路线,就可以拥有一个愉快充实的旅行了。
