10、never easy. He started numerous businesses that failed. He went bankrupt twice, and was defeated in 26 campaigns for public office.

17、re times when I would lie in bed and think, I dont know how Im going to pay that bill,” Mangano says.But he had a special ability for seeing the obvious thing. She knew how hard it was to mop the floor. “I was tired of bending down, putting my hands in dirty water, wringing (拧 ) out a mop,” Mangano
18、says. “So, There s gotta be a - 5 -better way.How about a “self-wringing” mop? She designed a special tool you could twist in two directions at once, and still keep your hands clean and dry. She set out to sell it, first a few at flea markers.Then Mangano met with the media. But would couch potatoes
19、 (电视迷）buy a mop? The experts on shopping TV were less than certain. They gave it a try, and it failed. Mangano was sure it would sell if theyd let her do the on-camera display. She said, “Get me on that stage, and I will sell this mop because its a great item.”So QVC, a multinational corporation spe
20、cializing in televised home shopping, took a chance on her. “ I got onstage and the phones went crazy.

24、laces because they are easy to get to and naturally suited to communications and trade. New York City, for example, is near a large harbour at the mouth of the Hudson River. Over 300 years its population grew gradually from 8 million. But not all cities develop slowly over a long period of time. Boo
25、m towns grow from nothing almost overnight. In 1896, Dawson, Canada, was unmapped wilderness(荒野). But gold was discovered there in 1897, and two years later, it was one of the largest cities in the West, with a population of 30,000.Dawson did not have any of the natural conveniences of cities like L
26、ondon or Paris. People went there for gold. They travelled over snow-covered mountains and sailed hundreds of miles up icy rivers. The path to Dawson was covered with thirty feet of wet snow that could fall without warming. An avalanche(雪崩) once closed the path, killing 63 people. For many who made
27、it to Dawson, however, the rewards were worth the difficult trip. Of the first 20, 000 people who dug for gold, 4, 000 got rich.

32、ers can be seen from your front door? If your awareness is as sharp as it could be, youll have no trouble answering these questions.Most of us observed much more as children than we do as adults. A childs day is filled with fascination, newness and wonder. Curiosity gave us all a natural awareness.
33、But distinctions that were sharp to us as children become unclear; we are numb(麻木的）to new stimulation(刺激), new ideas. Relearning the art of seeing the world around us is quite simple, although it takes practice and requires breaking some bad habits.The first step in awakening senses is to stop predi
34、cting what we are going to see and feel before it occurs. This blocks awareness. One chilly night when I was hiking in the Rocky Mountains with some students, I mentioned that we were going to cross a mountain stream. The students began complaining about how cold it would be. We reached the stream,
35、and they unwillingly walked ahead. They were - 8 -almost knee-deep when they realized it was a hot spring. Later they all admitted theyd felt cold water at first.Another block to awareness is the obsession(痴迷) many of us have with naming things. I saw bird watchers who spotted a bird, immediately lo
36、oked it up in field guides, and said, a “ruby-crowned kinglet“ and checked it off. They no longer paid attention to the bird and never learned what it was doing.The pressures of “time“ and “destination“ are further blocks to awareness. I encountered many hikers who were headed to a distant camp-grou
37、nd with just enough time to get there before dark. It seldom occurred to them to wander a bit, to take a moment to see whats around them. I asked them what theyd seen. “Oh, a few birds,“ they said. They seemed bent on their destinations.Nature seems to unfold to people who watch and wait. Next time

43、specific purpose, itd be rude to jump right into business without a little small talk at the beginning.Getting to the pointThere always comes the point, however, where you want to move on from friendly banter(玩笑) and get down to business. 38 If you are waiting to find out why someone called you, you
