短篇英语文章欣赏：My Emotion

The tides advance, the tides recede. Winter goes and summer comes. Summer wanes and the cold increases. The sun rises, the sun sets. The moon is full, the moon is black. The birds arrive, the birds depart. Flowers bloom, flowers fade. Seeds are sown, harvests are reaped. All nature is a circle of moods and I am a part of nature and so, like the tides, my moods will rise, my moods will fall.

It is one of nature's tricks, little understood, that each day I awaken with moods that have changed from yesterday. Yesterday's joy wilI become today's sadness, yet today's sadness will grow into tomorrow's joy. Inside me is a wheel, constantly turning from sadness to joy, from exultation(狂喜) to depression, from happiness to melancholy(忧郁). Like the flowers, today's full bloom of joy will fade and wither into despondency(泄气), yet I will remember that as today's dead flower carries the seed of tomorrow's bloom so, too, does today's sadness carry the seed of tomorrow's joy.

But I make my own weather, yea I transport it with me. If I bring rain and gloom and darkness and pessimism(悲观) to my customers then they will react with rain and gloom and darkness and pessimism and they will purchase naught(零，无价值). If I bring joy and enthusiasm and brightness and laughter to my customers they will react with joy and enthusiasm and brightness and laughter and my weather will produce a harvest of sales and a granary(谷仓) of gold for me.

Someone once said: What goes around comes around.

So…

Work live you don't need the money.

Love like you've never been hurt.

Dance like nobody's watching.

Sing like nobody's listening.

Live like it's Heaven on Earth.

短篇英语文章欣赏：The Popularity Trap in Office

Respect versus popularity -- it is the old conflict between being professional and being personal. We want to do a good job, but we want to be friends with everyone, too. The truth is, you can't always be liked if you do your job properly. And the desire to keep everyone happy can become a weakness.

"At best," says management consultant Jennie Lumley, "worrying about what others think makes us reactive when we need to be proactive. At worst, we're so busy playing the office sweetheart that we lose sight of the demands of the job and our needs."

This is a particular problem for women professions, Lumley finds. "It's a childhood hangover(宿醉，遗物). We all long to be the most popular girl in school. Also, girls are brought up to try to please. This need to be liked gets in the way of career progress. At work, men don't give a thought to what others think so long as they get their way."
