ot about foot pain. But unlike most of her colleagues(同事),she turned her pain into money: Today she is the boss of Taryn Rose International, a $528 million company that makes nice and comfortable shoes.

At the beginning, Rose realized the only thing that could stop her was fear of ,failure. "I couldhear my friends and family saying, 'Why did you leave a good job？' If I failed, would I be okay facing them？ And: t thought, 'So what？ I can go back for further study in medicine.' I started to accept that it would be okay to say, 'I failed, but I tried.' Once I was comfortable with that th6fight, the fear came to an end. I realized I feared regret more than failure. And after you turn to the path you choose, there is nothing acceptable but Success"

Now, Rose has no regrets about leaving medicine. "What I'm doing is not all that different from: what I Was doing as a doctor. The goal is the same: to relieve (减轻) pain. A former professor told me: 'You're helping hundreds of thousands of women with your shoes. As a doctor, you would have helped only the few who went to your office. You're having a much greater effect.'

Looking back, Rose admits she caught a couple of lucky breaks. "To me, luck is about being prepared for those opportunities (机会) that come knocking. You have to have an open mind, the right skilis and all your senses working 'to see what opportunities present themselves. Luck can open the door, but you still have to walk through it."

E.SAY NO. WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF YOU HAD AN EXTRA HOUR A DAY？ THIS IS A COMMON BARRIER I RUN INTO WHEN I WRITE ABOUT MAKING POSITIVE LIFE CHANGES:PEOPLE DON"T HAVE TIME TO PURSUE THEIR DREAMS.PEOPLE DON"T HAVE TIME TO EXERCIS

E.PEOPLE DON"T HAVE TIME TO GET ORGANIZE

D.WELL, IT"S TIME TO MAKE TIM

E.BY USING SOME COMBINATION OF THE FOLLOWING, YOU CAN FREE UP AN HOUR OR MORE A DAY.FIND THE ONES THAT WORK FOR YOU (NOT ALL WILL WORK FOR EVERYONE), AND THEN CARVE OUT THAT HOUR A DAY.THEN MAKE SURE YOU USE THAT EXTRA HOUR A DAY IN THE BEST WAY POSSIBLE—BOOK THAT HOUR ON YOUR CALENDAR FOR SOMETHING YOU REALLY, REALLY WANT TO DO, WHETHER THAT"S WORK ON A GOAL, WRITE A BOOK, START A BUSINESS, EXERCISE, READ MORE, OR WHATEVER.DON"T SQUANDER THIS GIFT OF TIME! 【A1】______ WHETHER IT"S EXERCISE OR WORKING ON SOME OTHER GOAL, MAKE AN APPOINTMENT TO DO IT RIGHT WHEN YOU GET OUT OF WORK (AT 5 P.

M., FOR EXAMPLE).THIS WORKS ESPECIALLY WELL IF YOU HAVE TO MEET SOMEONE ELSE, SUCH AS A WORKOUT PARTNER OR OTHER GROUP OR TEAM OR COACH OR PARTNER, YOU"LL BE SURE TO MEET THE APPOINTMENT, WHICH MEANS YOU WON"T STICK AROUND WORK TOO LONG, AND YOU"LL BE SURE TO FINISH ALL YOUR TASKS ON TIME SO YOU CAN LEAVE ON TIM

E. 【A5】______ ONE OF THE BIGGEST GROUPS OF TIME EATERS IS REQUESTS FROM OTHER PEOPL

E.ALL DAY LONG WE GET REQUESTS, IN PERSON, ON THE PHONE, IN EMAIL, THROUGH PAPERWOR

K.MEETINGS, ASSIGNMENTS, REQUESTS FOR INFORMATION, REQUESTS TO BE ON A COMMITTEE OR TEA

M...THESE ARE ALL REQUESTS THAT WILL EAT UP YOUR TIM

E.SAY NO TO ALL BUT THE ESSENTIALS.GET TO THE POINT. WHILE I"M A FAN OF LONG, SLOW CONVERSATIONS, IF YOU"RE TRYING TO MAKE TIME FOR GOALS, YOU NEED TO WHITTLE DOWN NEEDLESSLY LONG CONVERSATIONS—ESPECIALLY IF IT"S JUST WITH A COWORKER WHO ISN"T A CLOSE FRIEN

D.IN PERSON OR ON THE PHONE, YOU NEED TO GET STRAIGHT TO THE POINT WITH A MINIMUM OF CHIT-CHAT, AND IF THE OTHER PERSON ISN"T GETTING TO THE POINT, POLITELY ASK WHAT HE NEEDS FROM YOU.

example, if you want to reach a main goal in five years, set a three-year goal, a one-year goal, a three-month goal and a one-month goal. Then create a daily To-Do List of things that you should do today. When a goal is achieved, take the time to enjoy your success. This helps you build the self-confidence. Remember, your goals can change as time goes on. But be sure your goals are things you hope to achieve, not what your parents, family or teachers want. 小题1:Is life a long journey according to the passage？ 小题2: Why do you need to set your life goal？ 小题3:What should you consider when you set a family goal？ 小题4:How can we achieve the main goal easily？ 小题5:What does the writer want to tell us？

e back and dream about your future. You have the world before you.

Allow yourself to dream, and think big big as the sky. The world’s greatest achievers are some of the best dreamers. Walt Disney, Amelia Earhart, Henry Ford, Susan B. Anthony, Andrew Carnegie, and hundreds more, all had dreams.

Then take the first step to make your dreams come true. Form. a goal and accomplish it. Create a new goal and accomplish it. Every time you set and achieve a goal, you’ll move one step closer toward building the future you want for yourself.

When you achieve a target you’ve set for yourself, it helps build your self-confidence and teaches you self-discipline. Each goal you achieve will boost your confidence and help you set bigger goals for your future. Soon, you’ll find yourself moving on a path to success.

Steps for reaching your dreams:

It can be as easy as starting a savings account at your credit union. Give yourself a goal. First, what do you want to save for？ It might be a new CD player, your first car, or college.

Next, where will your savings come from？ Will you use a portion of your allowance, or can you think of other ways to earn money？

It’s okay to set small goals at first. In fact, that may be wise so you begin to understand the rewards and personal satisfaction that come from achieving your goals.

You can keep your goals secret or share them with someone close to you who may help you stay on track.

Another important step is to write your goal on paper. Post your written goal (or a photo of it) in your room where you can see it regularly. This will remind you of what you are working toward.

Give yourself a pat on the back when you’ve achieved your goal and start thinking about your next personal challenge.

Before you know it, you’ll be living your dreams.
