You may not realize it,but you are doing much more than just studying when you are at school. School is also the place 29        you socialize and learn to get along with people. But this is 30       easy. What can you do 31        you just don't like one of your classmates?

If you discover that you have problems 32        your classmates or friends,the most important thing to learn is tolerance. Tolerance is the 33        to recognize and re?spect the 34        in others. We cannot change the way that other people act,35       it is important to learn to live happily with them.

Practising tolerance will allow everyone to form bet?ter 36       with each other.  Getting to know someone,37       help you understand why they do things 38       from you. It is important to remember that just because something is different does not mean that it is bad. 39       teaches us to keep an even temper and open mind.

One thing to 40        is the old saying, "Treat others41       you want to be treated."You would like to be treated kindly by your classmates,so it is important to treat them with equal42       . If you tolerate 43       ,it does not mean that you have to like it. No one is asking you to44       who you are or what you believe in. Toler?ance just means that you will be 45      of the differences in others and not try to make them change.

It is important to 46       tolerance because it will make everyone's lives easier. Learn to 47       people for their different abilities and interests. The world is a very diverse place,and practising tolerance in your own school and city can help make a 48       .

When you are an entrepreneur (企業(yè)家) ，there is always something to do when it comes to starting and running a business. As a chief cook and a bottle washer,the challenge is how to choose the most important one to treat in a workday.

For the new year,below are a few tried-and-true measures,plus a few new ones.

1. Take time to focus on the day.

It's hard to stay focused once the day gets started,so it is key to schedule a few minutes a day to just be quiet and focus on what needs to be done. Quiet time in the morning is a good way to start the day. Hot yoga is a great way to still my mind and focus.

2. Review your goals of the day.

Think about and commit to paper or document digitally the goals you want to accomplish that day or in the next week. I'm a big believer in creating a todo list. My team starts with a list I call "The week ahead" where I outline the things to be accomplished for the week.

To be more organized,taking notes on a Postit is one way,but there are many electronic organizer options. As you complete each task,mark it off the list. It's a great way to see how much progress you make in a day,a week or a month.

3. Stay up to date on your industry.

While it is important to stay up to date on the current events around the world,it is just as important to stay up to date on the current events in your industry. Read at least one article related to your business. Follow a publication so that its latest information comes up on your timeline.

4.         .

Check your website and all your social media buttons daily and make sure they are operating properly. Nothing is worse than a potential client trying to find you online and your site is down. If you have a blog,try to write anywhere from two to three times a week―a way for your customers to know your brand. Meanwhile,glance over other people's blogs,and if you like what you read,then share it on dif?ferent socialmedia platforms.

5. Connect and reconnect to your network.

With everyone concentrating on staying connected via the social media,it is good once in a while to pick up the phone and say hello. Spend a few minutes on the phone setting up a time to meet for coffee or lunch. If you've been to conferences,met a few people and collected business cards,then reach out to those people again.

I haven't used them strictly,but I plan to in 2015.
