You've probably heard about sports coaches, fitness coaches, voice and music teachers, career counselors（咨询） psychiatrists (精神科医师) and other specialists who teach skills and help us cope with daily life.

    But there's a rapidly growing kind of professionals who do a little bit of everything. She or he is called a “ life coach”. People who are at the crossroads in their life, and corporations that want to give certain employees a career boost , are turning to them for help.

    The idea that one person's success story can change other people's life for the better goes back at least to the 1930s. Dale Carneigie's famous self-improvement program “ How to Win Friends and Influence People” came along soon thereafter.

    But this new style of life coaches includes more than enthusiastic speakers or writers. They use their own experiences in business, sports, military service, or psychotherapy (心理疗法) to help others make critical life decisions. They often give their approaches a slogan, such as “energy coaching” or “fearless living” or “working yourself happy”.

    Dave Lakhani in Boise, Idaho, for instance, works with salespeople to develop what he calls a “road map”. He says an ongoing relationship with a coach is like having a personal fitness trainer for one's career and life outside work.

Lakhani's Bold Approach coaching firm also donates some of its time to help people who are anything but successful—including battered (殴打) women and struggling single mothers.

    But others in the so-called “helping professions” are not thrilled about the life-coaching movement. They say that anyone, trained or untrained, can call himself or herself a life coach, and that slick(华而不实的) promoters who mess with people's lives can do more harm than good.

    A group of frogs were traveling through the woods, and two of them fell into a hole. When all the other frogs saw how1the hole was, they told the two frogs that they would die soon.

    At first, both of the two frogs didn't 2their words and tried their best to jump out of the hole. The other frogs3 telling them to stop, because they thought there was no 4 to jump out of such a deep hole. Finally, one of the frogs believed these words and 5. He fell down and died.

    The other frog 6to jump as hard as he could. Once again, the crowd of frogs shouted at him to stop the pain and just die. He jumped even harder and finally 7. When he got out, the other frogs said, "Don't you hear us?" To their great8, the frog turned out to be 9. He thought they were 10 him all the time, not stopping him.

    On a Saturday night at home while relaxing with friends, a dog showed up at the house. In an attempt to find the legal owner and return the dog, we knocked on the door of the legal owner and an old man opened the door. This was the start of an interesting week.

    The old man sat down, made himself at home, and gifted us the dog. After a brief visit, he left, and we were now the proud owners of this dog. It takes experience and knowledge to know that our lifestyle can't satisfy the needs of this dog; the owner that gifted us the dog was mismatched for him as well.

    Three attempts to return the dog to his old owner failed. (I think he was avoiding us.) Because our lifestyle didn't allow us to give this poor dog the attention he needed, he disturbed the neighbors. They got involved. After we shared the story, they gained a new perspective and wisely stepped in to help us find a solution.

    One week later it was decided that dog would be picked up from us by the old neighbor. He would then return it to the previous owner who was more equipped to care for it.

    When faced with unexpected challenges in life, it helps to see everyone's perspective. We have to look at one another's perspective to solve a problem with honesty, experience and knowledge. That's the sign of a leader. Although the old neighbor typically has little to do with leadership, it did bring a neighborhood together to understand one another and work as a team to solve a problem.

在高手如云的湖北文学界，裴高才以潜心钩沉乡贤“史记”、妙笔多产而闻名。虽然全国各地都有热衷书写本土文化的志士仁人，相关成果也相当可观，但像高才兄如此多产、且影响远及海内外者，似不多见。他的一部一部作品，气象恢宏，既重现出黄陂先贤的光辉业绩，也不断彰显了湖北黄陂深厚的文化底蕴，为研究荆楚特色文化——黄陂文化现象，增强文化自信、弘扬人文精神，做出了蔚为大观的贡献。他的满腔热情、丰硕著述，是湖北地域文化研究的重要收获，也为书写，光大本乡土的文化事业，竖起了一根引人瞩目的标杆。

“无陂不成镇”这一文化现象，源远流长，名满天下。高才集十数年之功，终于完成《无陂不成镇》这部文化专著，是作者对“无陂不成镇”的历史渊源与文化特征进行的系统解读，颇有识见。概括起来，该书的显著特点大抵有三：首先，作者将“无陂不成镇”放在世界的坐标——古代文明带的中轴线北纬30。视域里，结合长江文明与黄河文明的交融发展过程，进行解读，揭示其文化特征。其次，作者广采博览，旁征博引，在史料开掘上多有用力。通过研读《诗经》《楚辞》《史记》等中华文化经典，探寻“无陂不成镇”的文化源头。同时，搜索考古成果、方志、笔乘以及诗词名篇，从中发现相关历史碎片，并以多重证据将其串联起来，进行深入浅出的解读。再次，穿插人文掌故与民间传说，叙介“无陂不成镇”现象，文史交融。一言以蔽之，通过探寻文化现象，意在启发文化自觉，提高文化自信，弘扬敢为人先、南人北相的正能量，从而走向文化自强。

在荆楚文化版图上，黄陂有着非比寻常的影响力——它孕育了殷商盘龙古城，又是木兰文化与程朱理学的发源地，还是“诗歌之乡”“楚剧之乡”“泥塑之乡”“大鼓之乡”等；既默默创造了“九佬十八匠”走遍天下的奇迹，使“无陂不成镇”的俗语家喻户晓，也是许多文化名人的故乡。今天的大武汉，根基可以上溯到盘龙城；而武汉方言也与“陂调”密不可分（所谓“汉腔陂调”）；武汉美食好些也来自黄陂……如此说来，研究武汉，不可不从研究黄陂开始。而黄陂所以能创造出一个又一个文化奇迹，显然也与那里不寻常的民风，以及那民风中闪烁的精神有关。黄陂古属楚地，民风必然延续了楚风的热烈、强悍。所谓“敢为人先”的精神，本原于此。所以，才有“九佬十八匠”闯荡世界的美谈，才有黎元洪就任“首义大都督”的传奇，才有一批又一批有志青年通过读书、考试，或者通过经商改变命运、走向全国乃至世界的壮伟奇观，才有“信义兄弟”孙水林、孙东林和“孝义兄弟”刘培、刘洋那样感天动地的孝行义举。同时，黄陂人创造的文化奇迹、商业奇迹、政治奇迹，再次证明了楚人的有才、多才。正所谓：“无陂不成镇，惟楚有高才。”

在中国社会正在经历的这场巨大转型中，“无陂不成镇”的现实意义何在？我想起了三十多年前，著名社会学家费孝通先生那篇很有影响的文章《小城镇，大问题》，其中关于“小城镇怎样成为农村的服务中心、文化中心和教育中心”的思考，至今仍具有发人深省的力量。既然黄陂人早就创造过“无陂不成镇”的奇迹，那么，“九佬十八匠”的成功经验不就依然具有现实的参考价值吗？

    We had a discussion on “overnight-fame” last week. Nowadays, many people were crazy about instant fame and wealthy. To be honest, it is not bad be famous or have a lot of money, but I don't agree with the view which people rise to fame overnight. We all know “easy come, easy go”. Let's take Li An as the example. Only after his hard work did he become successful. Or we can list more similar cases if need. What I do believe is that the process in which we try our best. It is we have experienced along the way to success that we treasure and enjoy mostly.

    Health is the most important thing in the world．Nothing is more important than health．If one takes away our money, houses, cars, or even our clothes, we can still survive． That is why we always try to eat in a healthy way and exercise often.

    How can we keep healthy? In order to eat healthily, I usually avoid eating food high in fat, like French fries or cookies, which are junk foods． Besides, I only eat a little meat.

    Taking exercise every day helps us build a strong body．Regular exercise is an important part of keeping me healthy.

    What's more, I think friends are important part of one's health． I always feel better when I am with friends than I am alone．When I am with my friends, I always laugh．Laughing is also an important part of health．It is good to stay with my friends.

    By eating properly and exercising regularly, I can keep my body at a proper weight and keep healthy．By spending time with my friends, I can keep my mind as well as my body happy．These things sound easy to do, but not many people can manage them．
