Great leaders understand that some of the best leadership qualities entail listening to others with undivided attention.Great leaders with excellent management skills to encourage input and change, Also who encouraged a dialogue with the team came out on top. and the best way to measure them is based on feedback they get from their best people. People usually give the best scores to leaders you trust and to leaders who listen.1 / 21The Most Essential Leadership Qualities:Integrity is perhaps the most valued and respected quality ofleadership and one of the most important management skills you need to attain. By saying what you’ll do and then be doing what you say, you will build trust around your team.To be successful as a leader, you need a bination of two ingredients: character and petence.

You are always looking for new ways to develop your leadership qualities and take your thoughts to the next level.And most of all a successful leader shouldn\'t build a wall between him and his employee, in contrast, he should earn the trust of his employ. A Summery of Brian Tracy answers the question leader?essential for an effective leader.2 / 21Maram Al-khazmary==9 Signs You’re a Highly Sensitive PersonSensitive people get a bad rap. Research suggests that genes are responsible for the 15–20% of people who qualify as "highly sensitive." Psychologist Elain Aron has studied this phenomenon extensively, and using MRI scans of highly sensitive people’s brains, she’s found that they experience sounds, feelings, and even the presence of other people much more intensely than the average person. Sensitivity and Emotional IntelligenceEmotional intelligence (EQ) is your ability to recognize and understand emotions in yourself and others and your ability to use this awareness to manage your behavior and relationships. The good news is that highly sensitive people aren’t more or less emotionally intelligent than others. Highly sensitive people experience things more intensely. Their strong emotions are easier to identify (and potentially use to their benefit) than the average person. This also helps them to municate effectively because they don’t just hear the words ing out of other people’s mouths, but they also catch on to subtleties in gesture and tone.There are trade-offs, however, as strong emotions that are left unchecked can have disastrous consequences. Highly sensitive people can use EQ to their benefit only once they understand that they are highly sensitive. This awareness ensures they reap the benefits of their heightened emotional awareness while spotting and defeating their negative tendencies. The Highly Sensitive PersonYou’re likely wondering if you or someone you know are highly sensitive. The following are the most mon qualities that highly sensitive3 / 21people possess. See how many apply.You think deeply. When life throws you a curveball, you retreat deep into your shell, thinking through every aspect of what transpired before taking any action. Small things (in your own life and other people’s lives) can have a big impact on you.英语学习英语学习阅读材料(A4打印版) - 180730You’re detail-oriented. You’re as sensitive to details as you are to feelings. You see details that others miss, and you aren’t content until you’ve dotted all the i’s and crossed the t’s. This is a strength that is highly valuable in the right profession.You take longer to reach decisions. Since you’re prone to dig deep beneath the surface, you tend to drag out decisions. You can’t help but try to run every possible oute through your head, and this is often at the expense of the ticking clock.You’re crushed by bad decisions. When you finally make a decision, and it turns out to be a poor choice, you take it much harder than most. This can create a vicious cycle that slows down your decision-making process even more, as fear of making a bad decision is part of what slows you down in the first place.You’re emotionally reactive. When left to your own devices, you have a knee-jerk reaction to your feelings. You also have strong reactions to what other people are going through. When your emotions e on strong, it’s easy to let them hijack your behavior. The hard part is channeling your feelings into producing the behavior that you want. You take criticism harshly. Your strong feelings and intense emotional reactions can make criticism hard to take. Though you may overreact to criticism initially, you also have the tendency to think hard about things and explore them deeply. This exploration of criticism can play out well for you in the long run, as your inability to "shrug it off" helps you make the appropriate changes.You work well in teams. Your unique ability to take other people’s4 / 21feelings into account, weigh different aspects of multifaceted decisions, and pay attention to the smaller details makes you extremely valuable in a team environment. Of course, this can backfire if you’re the one that is tasked with making final decisions, as you’re better suited to offering input and analysis than you are to deciding whether or not to push the red button.You have great manners. Your heightened awareness of the emotions of other people makes you highly conscientious. You pay close attention to how your behavior affects other people and have the good manners to show for it. You also get particularly irked when other people are rude. Open offices drive you crazy. Your sensitivity to other people, loud noises, and other stimuli makes it practically impossible for you to work effectively in an open-office environment. You’re better off in a cube or working from home. Bringing It All TogetherLike many things in life, being a highly sensitive person is both a blessing and a curse. It all es down to what you make of it. Are you or someone you know highly sensitive? Please share your thoughts in the ments section below as I learn just as much from you as you do from me.

"The secret of change is to focus all of your energy, not on fighting the old, but on building the new." - Socrates12 Daily Habits of Exceptional LeadersOne of the most popular Dilbert comic strips in the cartoon’s history begins with Dilbert’s boss relaying senior leadership’s explanation for the company’s low profits. In response to his boss, Dilbert asks incredulously, “So they’re saying that profits went up because of great leadership and down because of a weak economy?” To which Dilbert’s boss replies, “These meetings will go faster if you stop putting things in context.”Great leadership is indeed a difficult thing to pin down and understand. You know a great leader when you’re working for one, but even they can have a hard time explaining the specifics of what they do that makes their leadership so effective.Great leaders change us for the better. They see more in us than we see in ourselves, and they help us learn to see it too. They dream big and show us all the great things we can accomplish.Great leadership is dynamic; it melds a variety of unique skills into an integrated whole. Great leadership is also founded in good habits. What follows are the essential habits that exceptional leaders rely on every day. Give them a try and see where they take your leadership skills.Effective Communication―The more elaborate our means of communication, the less we communicate.‖—Joseph PriestleyCommunication is the real work of leadership. It’s a fundamental element of how leaders accomplish their goals each and every day. You simply can’t become a great leader until you are a great communicator.Great communicators inspire people. They create a connection with theirfollowers that is real, emotional, and personal, regardless of any physical distance between them. Great communicators forge this connection through an understanding of people and an ability to speak directly to their needs.Courage―Courage is the first virtue that makes all other virtues possible.‖ —AristotlePeople will wait to see if a leader is courageous before they’re willing to follow his or her lead. People need courage in their leaders. They need someone who can make difficult decisions and watch over the good of the group. They need a leader who will stay the course when things get tough. People are far more likely to show courage themselves when their leaders do the same.For the courageous leader adversity is a welcome test. Like a blacksmith’s molding of a red-hot iron, adversity is a trial by fire that refines leaders and sharpens their game. Adversity emboldens courageous leaders and leaves them more committed to their strategic direction.Leaders who lack courage simply toe the company line. They follow the safest path—the path of least resistance—because they’d rather cover their backside than lead.Adherence to the Golden Rule +1―The way you see people is the way you treat them, and the way you treat them is what they become.‖ – Jon Wolfgang von GoetheThe Golden Rule – treat others as you want to be treated – assumes that all people are the same. It assumes that, if you treat your followers the way you would want a leader to treat you, they’ll be happy. It ignores that people are motivated by vastly different things. One person loves public recognition, while another loathes being the center of attention.Great leaders don’t treat people how they themselves want to be treated. Instead, they take the Golden Rule a step further and treat each person as he or she would like to be treated. Great leaders learn what makes people tick, recognize their needs in the moment, and adapt their leadership style accordingly.Self-Awareness―It is absurd that a man should rule others, who cannot rule himself.‖ —Latin ProverbContrary to what Dilbert might have us believe, leaders’ gaps inself-awareness are rarely due to deceitful, Machiavellian motives, or severe character deficits. In most cases, leaders—like everyone else—view themselves in a more favorable light than other people do.Self-awareness is the foundation of emotional intelligence, a skill that 90% of top performing leaders possess in abundance. Great leaders’ high self-awareness means they have a clear and accurate image not just of their leadership style, but also of their own strengths and weaknesses. They know where they shine and where they’re weak, and they have effective strategies for leaning into their strengths and compensating for their weaknesses.Passion―If you just work on stuff that you like and are passionate about, you don’t have to have a master plan with how things will play out.‖ – Mark ZuckerbergPassion and enthusiasm are contagious. So are boredom and apathy. No one wants to work for a boss that’s unexcited about his or her job, or even one who’s just going through the motions. Great leaders are passionate about what they do, and they strive to share that passion with everyonearound them.Humility―Humility is not thinking less of yourself, it’s thinking of yourself less.‖ – C.S. LewisGreat leaders are humble. They don’t allow their position of authority to make them feel that they are better than anyone else. As such, they don’t hesitate to jump in and do the dirty work when needed, and they won’t ask their followers to do anything they wouldn’t be willing to do themselves.Generosity―A good leader is a person who takes a little more than his share of the blame and a little less than his share of the credit.‖ —John MaxwellGreat leaders are generous. They share credit and offer enthusiastic praise. They’re as committed to their followers’ success as they are to their own. They want to inspire all of their employees to achieve their personal best – not just because it will make the team more successful, but because they care about each person as an individual.Infectiousness―The very essence of leadership is that you have to have a vision. It’s got to be a vision you articulate clearly and forceful ly on every occasion. You can’t blow an uncertain trumpet.‖ —Reverend Theodore HesburghGreat leaders know that having a clear vision isn’t enough. You have to make that vision come alive so that your followers can see it just as clearly as you do. Great leaders do that by telling stories and painting verbal pictures so that everyone can understand not just where they’re going, but what it will look and feel like when they get there. This inspires others to internalize the vision and make it their own.Authenticity―Just be who you are and speak from your guts and heart –it’s all a man has.‖ – Hubert HumphreyAuthenticity refers to being honest in all things – not just what you say and do, but who you are. When you’re authentic, your words and actions align with who you claim to be. Your followers shouldn’t be compelled to spend time trying to figure out if you have ulterior motives. Any time they spend doing so erodes their confidence in you and in their ability to execute.Leaders who are authentic are transparent and forthcoming. They aren’t perfect, but they earn people’s respect by walking their talk.Approachability―Management is like holding a dove in your hand. Squeeze too hard and you kill it, not hard enough and it flies away.‖ – Tommy LasordaGreat leaders make it clear that they welcome challenges, criticism, and viewpoints other than their own. They know that an environment where people are afraid to speak up, offer insight, and ask good questions is destined for failure. By ensuring that they are approachable, great leaders facilitate the flow of great ideas throughout the organization.Accountability―The ancient Romans had a tradition: Whenever one of their engineers constructed an arch, as the capstone was hoisted into place, the engineer assumed accountability for his work in the most profound way possible: He stood under the arch.‖ – Michael ArmstrongGreat leaders have their followers’ backs. They don’t try to shift blame, and they don’t avoid shame when they fail. They’re never afraid to say, “The buck stops here,” and they earn people’s trust by backing themup.A Sense Of Purpose―You don’t lead by pointing and telling people some place to go. You lead by going to that place and making a case.‖ – Ken KeseyWhereas vision is a clear idea of where you’re going, a sense of purpose refers to an understanding of why you’re going there. People like to feel like they’re part of something bigger than themselves. Great leaders give people that feeling.Bringing It All TogetherBecoming a great leader doesn’t mean that you have to incorporate all of these traits at once. Focus on one or two at a time; each incremental improvement will make you more effective. It’s okay if you “act” some of these qualities at first. The more you practice, the more instinctive it will become, and the more you’ll internalize your new leadership style.==一个家，几句存了17年的话If you have a small child in your life, "Letters from Heaven" is a wonderful new tradition you can start for your family that will last for many generations. 如果你家的孩子现在还很小，那么不妨试试一个名叫“天堂的来信”的新创意，而且还能代代相传Susie shared the idea on her Facebook page, including two videos of her18-year-old daughter, Abby, opening the time capsule for the first time.Susie在她的脸书上分享了这个创意，并且附有两段视频，内容是她18岁的女儿第一次打开时间胶囊。

地球上最早的生命和外星生命可能都是紫色的Extraterrestrial Life Could Be Purple一项最新研究称，地球上最早的生物体可能呈薰衣草般的淡紫色。
在绿色植物开始利用阳光获取能量之前，这些紫色的微生物早就开始进行光合作用了。
研究人员还指出，外星生命也可能采用这种生存机制。
所以，除了在太空中探测绿色生命，科学家也许还需将目光转向紫色的外星生命Alien life might be purple.外星生命也许是紫色的。
That's the conclusion of a new research paper that suggests that the first life on Earth might have had a lavender hue. In the International Journal of Astrobiology, microbiologist Shiladitya DasSarma of the University of Maryland School of Medicine and postdoctoral researcher Edward Schwieterman at the University of California, Riverside, argue that before green plants started harnessing the power of the sun for energy, tiny purple organisms figured out a way to do the same.这是一篇新研究论文的结论。
这篇论文指出，地球上最早的生命可能拥有薰衣草的颜色。
马里兰大学医学院微生物学家希拉迪蒂亚·达斯萨尔马和加利福尼亚大学里弗赛德分校博士后研究员爱德华·施维特曼在《国际天体生物学杂志》上发表论文指出，在绿色植物开始吸收太阳光以获取能量之前，微小的紫色生物体就已经在这么做了。

有声双语美文：当你放弃探索，人生就结束了Romain Rolland once said:罗曼·罗兰曾说："Most men die at twenty or thirty;“很多人在20岁、30岁的时候就死了，thereafter they are only reflections of themselves，一过这个年龄，他们只不过变成了自己的影子for the rest of their lives they are aping themselves,此后的余生不过在模仿自己中度过，repeating from day to day more and more mechanically and affectedly what they said and did and thought and loved when they were alive."日复一日，更机械，更装腔作势地重复他们有生之年的所作所为、所思所想、所爱所。
”Recently, I suddenly realized that this quote is talking about me.最近，我忽然发现这则引言说的就是我。
I chose a stable job back as a civil servant in my hometown under my parents' advice after I graduated from college.大学毕业之后，我听从父母的建议，在家乡找了一个稳定的公务员工作。
The job is easy. And my workload is quite small.工作很轻松，工作量也很小。
So I have plenty of time of my own to spend.所以我有充足的时间可以自由支配。
I bought my car and my house and went on dates which are arranged by my parents.我买好了车和房子，并根据父母的安排去约会。

没有努力的动力，应该怎么办Realize that you have options. There are places even here in the US where people don't have the option of being out of survival mode enough to ponder these issues.要明白你还有选择如何生活的权利。
在美国，有些地方的人们甚至还陷于如何生存下去的水深火热之中，根本没时间考虑其他问题。
If I were you, this is what I‟d do: I‟d pack a backpack and start traveling for up to a year.如果我是你，我会打包行李，开始为期一年的旅行。
The beauty of traveling is that, with little effort, it will take you out of your head - new currencies, new foods, new accents and people so you HAVE to pay more attention to everyday things.旅行的魅力在于，只需要耗费一点点精力，就会让你跳出现有的生活状态，去认识新的货币，接触新奇的食物，不同的口音和人们，于是你就会更多地去关注日常事物。
Whether abroad or in the US, I‟d suggest you do some volunteer work. When you don‟t know what to do for yourself, go do something for another person (or for animals, the environment, etc…).无论你去国外还是在美国，我建议你做一些志愿者工作。

有声双语美文：难道真要工作一辈子吗？Warren Buffet once said: "If you don’t find a way to make money while you sleep, you will work until you die."沃伦·巴菲特曾经说过：“如果你不想个办法在你睡觉的时候赚钱，那你就得一直工作到死。
”Sounds ridiculous in the first place, right? Isn’t that obvious?这句话初听下来有点荒唐，这不是明摆着的吗？And how on earth can it be possible to make money while you sleep?而且，怎么可能在睡觉的时候赚钱？If you want to have an income, you have to work, right?如果需要有收入，当然就得一直工作，对不对？But no, what he said is not wrong.不，其实他说的并没有错。
That way which he described as to make money while you sleep is called investing.他所说的那种“在睡觉时赚钱”的方法，就是投资。
Normal middle-class use their skills and time to make money. But the rich use their money to make money. They invest the money that they own now to make ROI, which means return on investment.普通的中产阶级靠技能和时间换钱，而有钱人是靠钱赚钱的，他们用自己现有的钱去赚取投资回报。

我的生活，充满魔法Magic魔法When I was younger I was entranced with stories of magic.I devoured books where wizards and warriors battled the powers of darkness in strange worlds. I rejoiced when they triumphed bringing peace and happiness to their lands. I guess like most of the readers of these stories I secretly wished for magical powers for myself. I wanted to be able to magically make my pain disappear, to make my problems go away, and to have power over this world that so often has power over us.在我年轻的时候，我就对魔法故事深深着迷。
我如饥似渴地阅读有关法师和战士在奇异的世界里与黑势力战斗的书。
每当他们取得胜利并为他们生活的这片土地带来了和平和幸福时，我就倍感雀跃。
我想，就像看这些故事的大多数读者一样，我也暗暗希望自己能拥有魔法：希望它能奇迹般地让我的痛苦消失，让困扰我的问题得到解决，并能让我掌握这个世界而不用屈从于它。
As I got older, however, I realized that there was no such thing as magic and the harsh reality of life set in. I struggled through a long period of poverty. I had daily pain from a back injury that never healed right. I felt sadness and sorrow when both of my sons were diagnosed with Autism. I still sometimes daydreamed of magic but in time even that faded away.然而，当我逐渐长大，我开始意识到，根本就不存在魔法，生活的残酷现实开始袭来。

一名服务员在他面前放了一杯水。
“How much is an ice cream sundae?”“一个冰淇淋圣代多少钱？”“50 cents,” replied the waitress.“50美分，”服务员回答道。
The little boy pulled his hand out of his pocket and studied a number of coins in it.小男孩从口袋里拿出手来，仔细地数了一下手里的硬币。
“How much is a dish of plain ice cream?” he inquired. Some people were now waiting for a table and the waitress was a bit impatient.”“一碟原味冰淇淋多少钱？”他问道。
这时候有一些人正在候位，服务员有些不耐烦了。
“35 cents,” she said brusquely.“35美分。

双语美文：忙碌并不代表能干Stop being too obsessed with productivity.别再过于迷信产出率了。
The productivity of a worker is rather important.一个职场人的产出率是挺重要的。
The amount of work you do says something about your ability, but only in a limited way.你完成的工作量可以说明你的能力，不过它的程度很有限。
Besides, comparing two people‟s ability simply by the amount of work they do is really not a smart way.而且，光以工作量的多少来比较两个人的能力，真的是一种低端的比较方式。
Such value is used to judge the assembly line workers in the industrial age, and it is obviously inappropriate to judge today's brain workers.这种价值观是在工业时代用来评判流水线工人的，现在拿来评判脑力劳动者显然不合适。
If you think about how to do more work every day, your mindset will become increasingly fixed, and your ability to solve open problems will get worse over time.如果你每天的思考重心都是怎样做出更多的活，你的大脑就会越来越机械化，久而久之你解决开放性问题的能力就会越来越差。
Moreover, this way of working will take up your time when you should be making strategic planning. Instead, you are only trying to become a better-functioning part of a machine, which is definitely not good for your long-term career development.况且，这样的工作方式会让你无暇做战略性的规划，你只是在努力成为一个更好用的零件，这对你长远的职业发展肯定是不利的。

这10个恶习让你永远浑浑噩噩1. Remarkable people give up playing it safe.1. 杰出人士行事不走安乐之道。
No one has ever achieved greatness by playing it safe. And ironically, in this very rapidly changing world, playing it safe is one of the riskiest things you can do. To get back on track means being brave and fearless, because playing it safe is deciding you don't want to grow anymore.行事讲究万全之人难以创造伟大。
而且讽刺的是，在这个瞬息万变的世界，小心谨慎、不敢冒险可算是一件最为冒险的事。
东山再起意味着勇敢无畏，因为谨慎得不敢冒险正表现出你决定不再有任何成长。
2. Remarkable people give up self-doubt.2. 杰出人士不会自我怀疑。
The truth, of course, is that everyone experiences self-doubt at times. But you can't allow your doubt to keep you stuck. Remind yourself of how far you've come, remember everything you've been through and had to face, think about the battles you've won and all the fears you've overcome. Don't give doubt room to take hold.当然事实是，每个人都有怀疑自我的时候，可是你不能深陷自我怀疑而止步不前。
