The building next door was only a few feet away from mine. There was a woman who lived there, whom I had never met, yet I could see

26、 her seated by her window each afternoon, sewing or reading.After several months had gone by, I began to notice that her window was dirty. Everything was unclear through the dirty window .I would say to myself, “I wonder why that woman doesnt wash her window .It really looks terrible.”One bright mor

27、ning I decided to clean my flat, including washing the window on the inside. 第5页 共12页 第6页 共12页共Late in the afternoon when I finished the cleaning, I sat down by the window with a cup of coffee for a rest. What a surprise! Across the way, the woman sitting by her window was clearly visible. Her windo

28、w was clean!Then it dawned on me. I had been criticizing(批评) her dirty window, but all the time I was watching hers through my own dirty window.That was quite an important lesson for me. How often had I looked at and criticized others through the dirty window of my heart, through my own shortcomings

29、? Since then, whenever I wanted to judge(评判) someone, I asked myself first ,“Am I looking at him through my own dirty window?” Then I try to clean the window of my own world so that I may see the world about me more clearly.56.

32、ook at others through his dirty windowBThe following are four books that will help you change your mind and change your life.1) You Can Heal Your Life, Louise Hay: A groundbreaking book when it was released in 1982. It is still the book that I turn to when I have physical unrest that requires deeper

33、 understanding. Louise Hay is the pioneer in looking at the connection between the physical unrest that we have in our body and the emotional connection. At the time that she wrote the book many people scoffed(嘲笑) at this idea, but it is now widely accepted and millions of people refer to it on a da

34、ily basis.2) The Four Agreements, Don Miguel Ruiz: Maintaining a sense of reliability and faith is developed through understanding to The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz written in 1997. We are faced with rules and regulations; dont do this, dont do that, watch what you are doing, be kind, loyal,

35、 faithful etc. The four agreements represent a simple system of maintaining your own inner authority while practicing being a true person with other people.3) Slowing Down to the Speed of Life, Richard Carlson and Joseph Bailey: This is a new one in my “bedside collection” and one that has made the

36、biggest impact on me lately. Written in 1997, it is even more relevant today than it was when it was written. The idea of “slowing down” to get there faster was extremely hard for me to understand. As a human species we seem to enjoy moving fast and expecting quick results, especially from ourselves

37、. I should be successful now, I should be slim now, get me to my destination nowin contrast to “in the fullness of time” when I am ready.4) The Game of Life and How to Play It, Florence Scovel-Shinn: A classic book that was first published in 1925 and remains one of my favorite books of all time.

42、ays to change our life and mindCSpring is coming, and it is time for those about to graduate to look for jobs. Competition is tough, so job seekers must carefully consider their personal choices.

44、on of who we are. Just as people convey messages about themselves with their appearances, so do companies. Dress standards exist in the business world for a number of reasons, but the main concern is often about what customers accept. Others may say how to dress is a matter of personal freedom, but

45、for businesses it is more about whether to make or lose money. Most employers do care about the personal appearances of their employees，because those people represent the companies to their customer.As a hiring manager I am paid to choose the people who would make the best impression on our customer

52、 acceptable part of the American manly image and judges were lenient(宽大的) in most courts, but the drunken slaughter（屠杀） has recently caused so many well-publicized tragedies, especially involving young children, that public opinion is no longer so tolerant.Twenty states have raised the legal drinkin
