A myth is something that is not correct, but many people believe it. There are a lot of myths about the human brain.
One of the biggest myths is that we only use 10% of our brains. The next part of the myth is that if we can learn to use the rest of our brains, then we'll be much smarter. Peo-ple say this all the time, but it's completely not true! The truth is that although we don't know everything about the human brain, we know that each part of it has an important func-tion. Modern scientists think the "10% myth" silly.
Another popular myth is about being "right brained" or"left brained" . According to this myth, people who use the right side of their brains are more artistic and creative. People who use the left side of their brains are better at math and science. This is as popular as the 10% myth, and it's also wrong. In 2013, a study at an American university tested the right brain and left brain myth. The study shows we use the left brain as much as the right brain.
It's true that we use different parts of our brains for different things. We use our left side for language more, and our right side when we need to pay attention. But there is no evidence that creative people use the right side more or that scientific people use the left side more .
We've talked about myths, so let's look at a few interesting facts about the brain. First of all, the brain feels no pain. Second, about 75% of the brain is made up of water. It's also the fattest organ in your body. Here's another interesting fact about the brain. Around the time you turn 18 years old, it stops growing.
How often do you look back on your life and wish you had done things differently? As uncomfortable as it is, regret is a common part of our life. Accept it and use it for learning and improvement. But the advantages of regret don't come to us by chance. We have to look for them on purpose to improve ourselves.
People often say that regret is like a ghost: not completely clear but always intimidating (令人紧张不安的) . Make a list of your regrets. Write down why each one still makes you feel terrible and its bad influences. Be honest without catastrophizing (坏处想) . For exam-ple, you should not only understand that you hurt a friend's feelings, but also understand that this almost certainly didn't take the person's life. Take those things down.
After you make a mistake, just think that life moves on. Sometimes you just can't stop kicking yourself. Perhaps you dropped out of school many years ago and are always thinking about today how much money you would be making if you had continued your education. Now it's time to forgive (原谅) yourself. Tell yourself," It's true that I made an unwise decision. But I will make up for that and will not waste another minute of my life regretting a decision that cannot be changed. "
Your regret can teach you to become smarter and more successful——if you let it. If you never experienced regret, you would keep repeating the same behavior that caused you to miss opportunities or ruin relationships. In your list of regrets, also write down how you want to change your behavior, and express your resolution to go forward. Next, list everything you can do right now and get started.
Life is a journey full of pleasures and pains. To live it well and fully means learning from every bit of it, including the mistakes, and moving forward.
①Why each regret still makes you feel awful. ②The bad influences of each regret.
③The advantage of changing your behavior. ④Your resolution to go forward.

A career is something you're thinking of doing for the rest of your working life. 73Here are our tips to help you make up your mind.
Don't let other people tell you what to do!
There are always people who want you to become a lawyer, or work in banking, or be a teacher. Listen to them, but remember it's your life and it's your decision.
Consider what you think you're good at.
It's true that things like salary (薪水) are important, but you should also consider other aspects when choosing a career. Follow your heart and your personality.

Some lucky people get it right first time —— they choose a job, find they love it and stick at it. But it isn't always like that, so remember——you're allowed to change your mind!Certainly, it's no good worrying for years: maybe you've got three or four possible things you'd like to do, so choose and try one——and if you don't like it, try another one.
Do something of value.
Some people choose their career simply because they think they'll make huge amounts of money. people get more satisfaction out of their career if they feel they are doing something of value to others. It doesn't have to be charity work——it could be a job that helps other people, like being a child-minder. Just don't forget that job satisfaction isn't only about money.
A. Your first decision isn't forever. B. Asking for experts' advice is helpful. C. Choosing a career isn't always easy. D. Happiness is the most important thing. E. But job satisfaction isn't only about money. F. If you're not very outgoing, don't go for a sales job. G. Be sure that you're the one who make that decision. |
