once you form the habit of blaming somebody or something else for a bad situation you are a loser You have no power and could do nothing that helps change the situation However you can have great power over what happens to you if you stop focusing on whom to blame and start focusing on how to remedy the situation This is the winner s key to success Winners are great at overcoming problems For example if you were late because 用心 爱心 专心3 your car broke down maybe you need to have your car examined more regularly Or you might start to carry along with you the useful phone numbers so you could call for help when in need For another example if your colleague causes you problems on the job for lack of responsibility or ability find ways of dealing with his irresponsibility or inability rather than simply blame the person Ask to work with a different person or don t rely on this person You should accept that the person is not reliable and find creative ways to work successfully regardless of how your colleague fails to do his job well This is what being a winner is all about creatively using your skills and talents so that you are successful no matter what happens Winners don t have fewer problems in their lives they have just as many difficult situations to face as anybody else They are just better at seeing those problems as challenges and opportunities to develop their own

such simplistic advice is impossible to follow Even if stressful events are dangerous many like the death of a loved one are impossible to avoid Moreover any warning to avoid all stressful events is a prescription 处方 for staying away from chances as well as trouble Since any change can be stressful a person who wanted to be completely free of stress would never marry have a child take a new job or move The idea that all stress makes you sick also takes no notice of a lot of what we know about people It supposes we re all vulnerable and not active in the face of the difficult situation But what about human ability and creativity Many come through periods of stress with more physical and mental strength than they had before We also know that a long time without change or challenge can lead to boredom and physical and mental pressure 56 The result of Holmes Rahe s medical research tells us A the way you deal with major events may cause stress B what should be done to avoid stress C what
