Be the Master of Your Time Time is tricky.It is difficult to control and easy to more time than you need.For example, at the beginning of a semester, you may feel that you have plenty of time on your hands.But towards the end of the term you may suddenly find that time is running out.You don't have enough time to cover all your duties, so you get worried.What is the answer? Control!Time is dangerous.If you don't control it, it will control you.If you don't make it work for you, it will work against you.So you must become the master of time, not its servant.As a first-year college student, time management will be your number one problem.Words and Expreions: master n 主人，硕士，大师 tricky adj 狡猾的，机敏的run out（of）用完，耗尽，到期，期满
Antelope and Lion In Africa, when the antelope wakes up every morning, the first thing that comes to his mind is, “I must be able to run faster than the fastest lion, or I will be killed by a lion.” And at just the same time, the lion wakes out of his dream, and the first thing flashing into his mind is, “I must be able to catch up with the slowest antelope;otherwise I will starve to death.” So, almost at the same moment both the antelope and the lion jump to their feet and start running towards the rising sun.Such is life-whether you are an antelope or a lion, you ought to dash forward without hesitation when the sun rises.Words and Expreions: antelope n 羚羊；羚羊皮革 dash v 猛掷；冲撞
Attitude The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life.Attidtude, to one, is more important than facts.It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than succees, than what other people think, say, or do.It is more important than appearance, giftedne, or skill.It will make or break a company, a church, a home.The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day.We can not change our past.We cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way.We cannot change the inevitable.The only thing we can do is to play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude.I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it.And so it is with you.We are in charge of our attitudes.Words and Expreions: impact n 影响
