我们都乐意对他人提出建议或批评，但这个世界上更需要的却是鼓励。 远离那些轻视你理想的人，因为他们会使你变得渺小。同那些激励你的人打交道， 他们会使你的生活变得更加精彩。

Simeon Ford, the owner of the old Grand Union Hotel in New York, said, “You dont need to know anything about a hotel to run one. You just __1__ up and the customers tell you how to __2__ it.”

That must be __3__ of other businesses, too. I heard of a newspaper editor who __4__ in her assistant and handed him a pile of __5__. “These are suggestions sent in by subscribers(订户) on __6__ to run our paper. Make sure you carry them out,” she said.

He did. He carried them out and __7__ them in the dustbin. Many people are quick to __8__, and quicker to criticize(批评). When asked why she was always so __9__, one woman said, “I guess I just have a __10__ for seeing other peoples faults!” This is a gift I think she could __11__.

Criticizers are not hard to __12__. What the world needs are good __13__. Not more people to find fault, but people to point out __14__ and encourage us to do better than others. The most successful people look for __15__ qualities. They see potential where others see __16__. And they encourage success in others.

Mark Twain put it like this: “Keep away from people who try to __17__ your ambitions(雄心、大志). Small people __18__ do that, but the really great people make you feel that you too, can become __19__.”

Who do you spend time with? Criticizers or encouragers? __20__ yourself with those who believe in you. Your life is too important for anything less.
