First Listen and then answer the questions.
1. Why thinking is important in one’s life?
2. What effects does positive thinking have on you?
Thinking is necessary if you want to succeed in life. People fear that thinking may upset their comfort and self-satisfaction. Thinking needs constant practice with enthusiasm. Enthusiasm generates interest and sustains thinking. And concentration will help us form a clear picture in our minds of the ultimate objective.
Thinking should be constant and continuous. With concentration, we can arrange thoughts in order and become a rapid thinker. It is also important to develop organised thinking learning to think of different things one by one in order. We can stimulate thinking power by taking part in serious conversations or discussions and defending our positions so that it will drive us to think more clearly and objectively. Reading books and magazines will also help us in the process of formulating ideas.
Positive thinking has a tremendous influence over others with whom we come into contact. People who succeed in improving their thinking power enrich themselves.
要想获得成功的人生,必然需要思考。人们担心思考可能会扰乱他们的舒适和自我满足感。思考需要带着激情持之以恒地练习。激情会萌发兴趣,而兴趣又会强化思考。专注地思考有利于我们清晰地勾勒出自己头脑中最终目标的画面。
我们应该持续不断地思考。专心致志地思考能帮助我们理清思路,并且使思维变得敏捷。学会条理清晰地思考不同事物并培养严谨的思考能力也同样重要。要激发思考力度,我们可以参加严肃的会谈或坚持自己观点的辩论,这样会迫使我们的思考更清晰、更客观。阅读书籍和杂志对于我们清晰地阐述观点也很有帮助。
对于我们接触的其他人,积极思考有巨大的影响力。而那些有效提高思考能力的人,能使自己更充实。
在做任何事情之前,我们都要经过一番深思熟虑,才会付诸行动。而在思考时,我们也要带着激情去联想,这是因为激情会让我们更投入,更易思考。这样会帮助我们更好地实现自己的目标。
