Personality is also about how people think，behave，and react（反应）to everything around them from day to day. So what makes people think and behave in certain ways？Part of the reason is that people are born like this. A baby gets its blood type，genes（基因）and other physical things when its still inside its mother. These things may help decide what the baby will be like. But ones personality doesnt stop here. Family life，school learning and life experiences can also make you the person you are. This doesnt mean its impossible to change your personality. You can always try to make yourself better. Dont get too worried about your shortcomings（缺点）. Just accept them. This is a good way to start making changes. If you dont know how to make friends，find out why. Is it because youre too shy？Tell yourself to smile at people. Start talking to people using warm greetings. Dont give yourself a hard time about it all. Its not easy to change lifelong habits in one night. Keep working at it. One day you ll see that you can turn over a new leaf and be a new you!16 .

However, some people still prefer low-tech ways of doing things. Heres an example of why this is happening. You can microwave a frozen hamburger in 60 seconds. However, it wont taste as good as one you cook on the stove(炉). And if youre in that much of a hurry, you probably wont take time to toast(烘烤) the bread. High-tech cooking saves time, but it doesnt make better-tasting meals.Most people get their news from high-tech sources like television or the Internet. This has many advantages. For example, electronic news is more up to date than newspapers or magazines. Its also more exciting to see live and videotaped news events than photographs.However, newspapers and magazines have some important advantages. They give more background and details(细节). They also let you read the parts that are important to you and skip the rest. Other high-tech timesavers have similar disadvantages. For example, most people use the phone or email to stay in touch with friends and family members who live in other places. But when you use the Internet or the phone, you dont always think carefully about what you are saying, and sometimes you forget the important things you want to communicate. Similarly, when you do your homework on the computer, you neednt check your spelling by yourself. However, you are so busy with the computer that you dont pay enough attention to the actual words they are writing.19 .

The turning point of my life was my decision to give up my promising business job and study music. My parents didnt think it was a good choice I took up music as a job. Considering my family background, this was understandable. My grandfather had taught music for forty years at Spring Hill College. Although he was much loved by his students, he didnt earn(挣钱) enough to provide for his large family. As a result of this example in the family, my parents strongly asked me to the college instead of a music school, and so to college I went.Before my graduation from Columbia, the family ran into some money problems and I felt it was my duty to leave college and find a job. That was why I took a business job, which I always think of as the wasted years. I went into it for money, for being able to help the family. Money is all I got out of it. It was not enough. I felt that life was passing me by. I became very sad.My wish was to save enough money to quit(退出) and go to Europe to study music. I continued to make money, and finally, little by little, I saved enough to go abroad. At that time, my family got out of the trouble. _, and so I gave up my position and sailed for Europe. I stayed four years, worked harder than I had ever dreamed of working before, and enjoyed every minute of it. “Enjoyed” is too soft a word. I walked on air. I really lived. When I broke away from business, it was against the advice of all my friends and family, but if I had stayed in business, I do not believe I would have made a success of living. Money is a wonderful thing, but now I know that it is possible to pay too high a price for it.29 .
