11．It's hard to predict the weather in the near future．It's even more difficult to know what the climate of the coming season is like．Now you know the winter of 2011/12 was not warm but a freezing one/many people in the Northern Hemisphere died of cold．but a Native American tribe was fortunate enough to survive the terrible winter because of what was foretold b y a weatherman．
One day in early September o 2011 the chief of the Native American tribe was asked by his tribal elders if the winter was going to be cold or mild．The chief asked his medicine man，but the man also had lost touch with the reading signs from the natural world around the Great Lakes．
In truth，neither of them had idea about how to predict the coming winter．However，the chief decided to take a modern approach，and rang the National Weather Service in Gaylord Michigan．
"Yes，it is going to be a cold winter，"the weatherman told the chief．Consequently，the chief went back to h is tribe and told his tribe people to collect plenty of firewood．
A fortnight later the chief called the National Weather Service and asked for an update．"Are you still forecasting a cold winter？"he asked．
"Yes，very cold，"the weatherman told him．
As a result of this brief conversation the chief went back to the tribe people to collect every bit of wood they could find．
A month later the chief called the National Weather Service once more and asked about the coming winter．"Yes，"he was told，"it s going to be one of the coldest winters ever．"
The weatherman was right!And the Native American tribe went comfortably through the terrifying winter．The chief was thankful and curious．He rang the weatherman again and asked，"How can you be so sure about it tat it was freezing winter？"
The weatherman replied，"Because the Native American tribe of the Great Lakes are collecting wood like crazy．"

10．Allow me to introduce you to Terry，a window salesman from England．If I could take you back about 20 years，you'd know Terry as a complete green hand，who was wet behind the ears in just about everything he attempted．A person couldn't sell false teeth to his own Granny，let alone he could compete with the other salespeople in the industry． You know，the kind who could sell snow to Eskimos．
Terry's boss decided to send him out on a practical field trip on his first day．So off he went，but he was extremely nervous．With his hands and his knees shaking，he approached the front door and knocked at is．And old woman appeared．After dozens of cups of tea and pieces of biscuits，the woman signed a contract and purchased over $7，000 worth of windows．
The woman had already talked with 6 excellent salesmen that week，all of whom offered her cheaper ones!That's right---Terry's price was the most expensive and he was also the most inexperienced salesman there ever was．
So，what happened then？Here comes the secret．The woman said she liked the young lad more than the others．That's all there was to it．She didn't care about the extra expense．Even the other salesmen couldn't persuade her to pay less than this young lad was asking for．
The truth is that the young lad left on the woman the first impression that shone brighter than any of the salesman's talk．First impressions count，not the sales techniques，not the low prices．The actual"personality"the kid honestly gave was all that was required．If you market your own products and services，consider what impression you are giving to others．If you appeal to them，then you've already done half of the work．If this means redesigning your presentation，then so be it．If this means going out of your way to be polite，helpful and giving the best possible shopping experience to your customers，the so be it．

    To achieve determination，we need the followed steps．First，we should adopt a positive attitude towards fail．Although some smokers have tried in vain to give up smoking over a hundred of times，they should continue their attempts and view their previous failure part of their success because they have tried after all．The same is true which it comes to our daily life．Even if we run into unexpected difficulties，we should stay optimistic after reaching our goal．Second，when accomplishing a task，we should make the plan．If smokers can't quit smoking once and for all，they can reduce the amount of cigarettes they have per day until this bad habit is dropped complete．In our daily life，we should also arrange our tasks in order to importance-the most urgent first，the less important to follow．
