Americans are more familiar with the benefits of discipline, in fact, than conscious of them in theory. Anyone who should try to manage a factory, a bank, a railroad, a ship, a military company, or an athletic team, on the principle of having every employee or member of the organization take whatever part in the work, and do it in whatever way seemed【小题1】(good)in his own eyes,【小题2】(come)to sudden grief and be mercilessly laughed at. We all know that any enterprise can be successful only if there is coordination of effort, or【小题3】for short we call team play, and that this can happen only if the nature of each man’s work, and the way he is to perform it, is arranged with a view to the whole, so that each part【小题4】(fit)into its place contributes its proper share to the total result. Experience【小题5】(teach)us that the maximum efficiency is attained【小题6】the team play is most nearly perfect, and therefore, the subordination(附属,从属)of the individual to the combined action is most nearly complete. Then there is the greatest harmony of action, and the least waste by friction or working at cross purpose. But everyone is aware that such a condition does not come about of【小题7】. Men do not fit into their places in a team or organization spontaneously.【小题
8】they have and even when they have become familiar with the game or the industry, they are apt(易于)to overestimate their own part in it, or disagree about the best method of attaining the result. Everyone likes to rule, and when
Artemus Ward suggested that all the men in a regiment should be made Brigadier Generals at once to avoid jealousy, he touched a familiar weakness【小题9】human nature. He was not obliged to explain the joke, because no one fails to see the absurdity(荒谬,谬论)of having everybody in command. But that would be exactly the situation if nobody were in command. If there is to be a plan for combined action, somebody must have power to decide what that plan shall be; and if the part of every performer is【小题10】(subordinate)to the plan. Moreover, that authority must have some means of carrying its directions into effect. It must be maintained by discipline; either by forcing those who do not play their parts rightly to conform to the general plan, or by eliminating them from the organization.
DAY 02

What’s the purpose of building patience abilities? In a word, happiness. Better relationships, more success. But indeed it takes efforts to build them successfully.___36___. Thus, when the big ones come, we will have developed the patience we need for hard times.
Understand the addictive nature of anger and impatience. We, human beings, are still constructed with our old reptilian (爬行动物似的) brain that protects our physical and emotional survival. On the emotional survival side, we want our way to get ahead, to achieve, to “look good.”Let’s just face it.___37___So the first step in growing patience is to get in touch with the addictive quality of the opposite of patience—anger, impatience, blaming and shaming. We all have them. And we can grow beyond them.
Upgrade our attitude towards discomfort and pain. Pain has its purposes and pushes us to find solutions—we try to change the other person, situation or thing that we think is causing our discomfort. But the problem is that it is not the outside thing that’s the source of our pain, but how our mind is set.___38___
Pay attention when the impatience or pain starts. Most of us don’t really realize it when we are feeling even the smallest—but very present—painful feelings.___39___But to really care for ourselves, get curious about what’s actually happening in the moment inside you. Focusing on what’s actually happening, you can notice the worry of not wanting what’s happening, the resistance.
___40___When you find yourself impatient, or angry with yourself, you can remind yourself that you are growing, and that, “Sure, this is understandable; this is what happens to me when I’m bothered.”You can say to yourself, “It’s true. I don’t like this; this is uncomfortable, but I can tolerate it.”
A. Practice positive self-talk.
B. So the solution to pain is an inside job.
C. Patience abilities benefit you in many ways.
D. Learn to forgive yourself for being impatient in hard times.
E. We ignore the fact that we’re in pain and focus completely on fixing the problem.
F. The urge to protect ourselves and what we consider valuable is absolutely habit-forming.
G. Effective ways are recommended to train ourselves to work with little pains and annoyances.

Vietnam is a tropical country where it rains most of the year.

winter._____38_____However, having been here for a pretty long while now, I have experienced various forms of climate in California.

____40____The worst is that I get n runny nose whenever I wake up in the morning. Because I am allergic to the cold and windy weathers, I keep sneezing badly, and even more badly if I get caught in the cold.
