生活的乐章what sounds or impressions are you making on the people around you? think about it. your words, phrases, even your message may soon be forgotten but believe me, good or bad, your melody lingers.an odd choice of phrase? not really. the dictionary defines melody as a succession of sounds, and what is life other than the combining and blending of a succession of movements and sounds.just as a musical composition affects the moods and emotions of people who hear it, so too does the way you live your life.think of your life as a blank sheet of manuscript paper.only the rhythm is there - it is up to you to create the harmony.naturally you will want your composition to be a success, a chart buster even a symphony - something to be remembered with pleasure.so where to begin?you must begin with yourself.have the right attitude, enjoy life, - and most importantly, be optimistic about the future.be genuinely interested in other people. make a conscience effort to bring peace and happiness into other peoples lives.avoid situations that generate excessive ambition, envy, anger and pride. they are all enemies of peace and will play havoc with your harmony.it has been said that if these emotions or feelings were banished, the world would live in perpetual peace. well, to banish them from the world is probably aiming a bit high but it shouldnt be too difficult to rid them from your own life.develop traits such as tact, diplomacy, compassion perceptiveness & sensitivity. these attributes are invaluable in enhancing not only your own life but the lives of those around you.everything you do has an effect on those around you. the way you move, whether you smile or frown. you are capable of making someones day bright or miserable.take time to listen to other people. if there are too many discords & not enough harmony in their lives, encourage them to have a brighter outlook.throughout the world most people are striving for peace.from the family unit seated around the dinner table to world leaders at the conference table, the name of the game is the pursuit of peace.so, let us all play our part in composing the rhythm of life by consciously choosing peace and harmony in our daily lives to create a harmonious uni-verse.周围的人对你是什么评价？想想自己曾经的言辞以及那些我们发出去就忘了的短信，相信我，无论好坏都是你自己的演奏。把话说得好听点？不尽然。“悦耳”这个词指的是动听的声音，把生活中的善行和话语结合起来，才是对悦耳一词的诠释。你在生活中的行为如同交响乐团影响听众一样会影响你周围的人。想象你的生命是一张白纸你生活的曲调就取决于你的行为。实际上你想让自己表现得很好。从哪开始呢？从自己开始。树立正确的心态，热爱生活最重要的是对未来保持乐观的态度。对他人要有发生内心的兴趣拿出自己的爱心给他人带来平和与快乐。避免产生野心、嫉妒、愤怒和骄傲的情绪。这些都是破坏你跟他人和谐共处的大敌。据说如果人类消除了这些情绪，世界就会永远和平。当然，这种说法实现起来并非易事。但做为个人来讲，避免这些情绪应该不会太难。这样下去，你会变得越来越机智，越来越善于处理人际关系，越来越理性和感性。这些变化不旦会影响你自己，也会影响你周围人的生活你做的每件事都会在周围人身上反应出来，包括你做事的方法。是喜笑颜开还是怒气冲冲？这些都会影响
