In most cases, whatever you believe is what you will become. If you believe that you are a loser, that you never get a breakthrough in life, these things will be your reality. Believe that you are unlimited, that you can do anything you hope to do, and when you do, your accomplishments will know no bounds. You control your beliefs, and that is how you finally control your life.Many of our beliefs come from our environment, the world we live in on a daily basis.

So if you want people to apologize, you could be waiting a very long time.” Keep in mind that forgiveness does necessarily mean accepting the action of the person who upset you. Instead, learn to look for the beauty and kindness around you. Finally, try to see things from the other persons perspective. You may realize that he or she was acting out of ignorance(无知), fear even love. To perspective, you may want to write a letter to yourself from that persons point of view.45.

If this action does not work, there are various means that may be used to gain satisfaction.A simple and common method is to complain directly to the store manager. Generally, the “higher up” the consumer takes his complaint, the faster he can expect it to be settled. In such a case, it is uaually settled in the consumers favor, if he has a just claim.Complaining is usually most effective when it is done politely but firmly, and especially 试卷B 第6页（共11页）when the consumer can demonstrate what is wrong with the item. If this cannot be done, he will succeed best by presenting specific information as to what is wrong, rather than by making general statements.The store manager may advise the consumer to write to the manufacturer. If so, the consumer should do this, stating the complaint as politely as firmly as possible. But if a polite complaint does not achieve the desired result, the consumer can go a step further. He can threaten to take the seller to court or report the seller to a private or public organization responsible for protecting the consumers rights.49.
