We all form first impressions when we use new products, go to new places, and meet new people. We sometimes call these impressions or feelings “gut reaction(本能反应),”and our intuition(直觉) or instinct causes them. Some people believe that intuition is very important and can help us live better lives. Shannon Healy is one such person.
Healy is a strong believer that all people have natural powers of intuition. In her book, she says that most people, however, don't pay enough attention to their “gut feelings.”
Her new book, Use Your Intuition, is full of stories of people who used their intuition to find love and success. For example, a young woman made a quick decision between two job offers. She chose one by paying attention to her “gut feeling” that she would enjoy the work more, even though the pay was lower. It turned out lo be a good choice. Each chapter of Healy’s book has a specific focus, such as love, work, children, or health. The exercises in the book give people practice on how to use their intuition to have success in all these areas.
Sometimes Healy also teaches students about using the power of intuition in workshops where she lives — In Jacksonville, Florida. Some people travel hundreds of miles to attend her workshops. Use your Intuition is already a bestseller!

Elizabeth got out of bed and dressed. She ate here favorite breakfast of scrambled eggs, toast,
and juice. Her mother gave her a kiss before opening the front door and wishing her daughter a
good day.
Elizabeth, carefully tapping along, made her way down the sidewalk to her best friend Kate’s
front door. Elizabeth used to attend a school for the blind. Today she was joining Kate at
Washington Carver Elementary. “Here comes my brother,” Elizabeth said. Kate looked around but
saw no one. Then, suddenly, John came around the next corner on his skateboard. “How did you
know John was coming?” Kate asked.
“From the sound of the wheels on his board,” replied Elizabeth. “I’d know it anywhere. Kate
listened again until she heard the joyful sound hidden among all the much louder noises on the
street.
John rode along the sidewalk, moving from one side to the other and back again, until he
came to a stop in front of Elizabeth and Kate. “Hey Sis,”he said. “Good luck today!” “Thanks,
John,” said Elizabeth. “Any words of wisdom for me?” “Yeah,” her brother replied, smiling. “Stay
away from the sloppy joes in the cafeteria.” After these words, John went away on his board.
Kate wondered if Elizabeth still remembered eating the sloppy joes before she lost her sight
at the age of six, because of a high fever. Kate wondered if she felt sad. She decided to ask. “I
used to think I couldn’t do anything,” explained Elizabeth. “But now I know that I can do mos t
things. I just need a little more learning time.” Kate could see the sunny smile on her friend’s face.
Giving her friend a big hug, Kate said to herself, “_____________93________________”.
