Birth order—does it matter? Are you different because you are the first, second, or third child in your family—or maybe the last of nine?

A study found that first­borns have an average(平均的) IQ that is three points higher than people who fall into a different place in the birth order, perhaps because first­borns often help younger brothers and sisters, which improves their ow n skills. In 2007, an international organization of CEOs found that 43% of CEOs are first­borns, 33% are middle children, and 23% are last­borns. First­borns are more likely (可能的) to be doctors and astronauts and get higher pay.

If first­borns are more successful, last­borns are generally more agreeable. They are also more likely to be funny, possibly to get attention from all the bigger people at the dinner table. Mark Twain and Stephen Colbert were both the youngest in large families, and Jim Carrey was the youngest of four. According to a 2007 Time magazine article “The power of Birth Order.”，last­borns are more likely to be artists and successful businessmen.

Then there are the middle children: we have not ignored(忽视) them! Many middle children are shor t of one­on­one time with their parents. They often feel short­changed: the oldest gets more rights, and the youngest is spoiled(宠坏的). Though they may be ignored, middle children are more likely to grow into easygoing adults.

Little stream ran down from a high mountain through many villages and forests. Then it reached a desert，“I went through so many difficulties. I should have no problem crossing the desert，” she thought. As she started, she f ound herself slowly disappearing into the sand. After many tries, she still failed. “Maybe I can't reach the ocean，” she said sadly to herself.

At this time, a deep voice said，“If a breeze(微风) can cross the desert, so can a river.”

It was the voice of the desert. But the little stream answered, “A breeze can fly, but I can't.” “That's because you can't give up what you are. Let yourself evaporate(蒸发) into the breeze, and it can take you across，” said the desert. “Give up what I am now? No! No！” The little stream could not accept this idea. “The breeze can carry the vapor(蒸汽) across the desert and let it leave as rain. The rain will form a river again，” said the desert. “And whether you are a river or vapor, your nature never changes.” Hearing this, the littl e stream went into the open arms of the breeze. It carried her to the next stage of her life.

The course of our lives is like the experience of the little stream. If you want to go through difficulties in your life to head for success, you should also change the way you are.
