Some time ago during my vacation period, I traveled to Europe to tour the various parts of France．Our tour group was made up of forty—five travelers from different countries．My three friends and I made up the Canadian team on the bus．
As time passed we got to know each Other better and in some ways the new friendships that grew became as valuable and as memorable as the trip itself．
On the last day of the tour we were traveling through the peaceful French countryside when our guide came on the microphone．He said，“We are presently passing through World War I battlefields just south of Vimy Ridge．If you look to your right, just across the field there, you will see the war memorial that the people of France built to the Canadian soldiers who fought so bravely here．Even today some residents from the surrounding towns place flowers on the memorial regularly．My dear Canadian friends at the back of the bus, I would like to say thank you for the unselfish acts of your Canadian soldiers．”
Across the grassy field, the stone monument stood proud against the French sky．A Canadian flag rippled softly in the calm breeze．Lost in the moment, I could imagine the sights and sounds of war．Suddenly an unexpected wave of emotion swept over me．I felt great sadness for those men who never returned home to Canada, but at the same time my heart was filled with an enormous sense of pride．Tears welled up in my eyes．I was embarrassed by my uncontrolled reaction．As I turned around I realized that each of my friends had experienced the same feelings, their eyes also wet with tears．

Can you train your cat to actually use your toilet? Can you not have to deal with litter boxes any more? Well for many people the answers to these questions are yes．
You may have heard that some people have managed to train their cats to use the human toilet, Well this is correct．One advantage to this is the fact that you no longer have to lug heavy bags of litter home from the supermarket, or worry about cleaning out the dirty litter everyday．
Like any other cat training program, training your cat to use the toilet takes times and patience, you just can put your cat on the toilet and hope that they can use it．
By slowly shaping your cat’s behavior over a couple of weeks, you too can end lugging heavy bags of cat litter home from the supermarket．First, start by slowly moving the litter box closer and closer to the toilet each day, so your cat gets used to being in the bathroom and being around the toilet．

Once your cat gets used to using this litter pan on top of the toilet for a week or so, try removing the pan and your cat should be able to use the toilet．
Like any cat training program, it takes time and effort on the part of the cat owner to do this．Don’t get frustrated with your cat if she is not learning as fast as you would like, many cats learn at their own pace．With a little effort you too can have a toilet trained cat．

See in your mind’s eye where you really want to be in ten years’ time．Choose your own values, activities, and relationships rather than copying tubers．
While working with troubled teens, I used to haste them do a Ten Years game in the Future exercise．I asked them to write a letter to a friend as if it was ten years in the future．Most of these boys and girls didn’t think about the next week, much less ten years to come．This lack of “foresight”was a major reason why their lives were pretty messed up．But the real story is what happened to me．I did the exercise right along with them on many occasions, writing my dreams in detail．In my letter to a friend, I had moved to the country, built my own home, authored a book, and started my own business．
Over the next ten years, something magic happened．All my dreams became true, almost as if orchestrated (精心安排) by an unseen hand．I realized that something very powerful was happening, more powerful than expected．I did write books and start my business．We did move to the country and I did build my own home．
This letter to a friend will become a magnetic factor in your life．Your vision will guide you in your yearly goals, your monthly goals, and your daily activities．
You must write your letter as if it has already happened．For example:
“Leslie, I just wanted to make contact again and tell you about my life．I started my own gardening business in 2012 and it’s really taken off．”
“Dear Harold, I met the love of my life in 2016 and we moved to Hawaii where Frank works in a bookstore and I give surfing lessons everyday．We love it．”
Remember, describe all the details as if they have already happened．This will help you make it more real for you．

He was a funny—looking man with a cheerful face，good—natured and a great talker．He was described by his student，the great philosopher Plato，as“the best and most just and wisest man”．Yet this same man was sentenced to death for his belief．
The man was the Greek philosopher，Socrates．He was sentenced for not believing in the recognized gods and for corrupting young people．The second charge arose from his association with many young men, who came to Athens from all over the civilized world to study under him．

Socrates encouraged new ideas and thinking in the young, and this was frightening to the people who held traditional views．They wanted him silenced．Yet, many were probably surprised that he accepted death so readily．
Socrates had right to ask for less punishment, and he probably could have won over enough of the people who had sentenced him before．But Socrates, as a firm believer in law, reasoned that it was proper to accept the death sentence．So, he calmly accepted his fate and drank accept of poison in the presence of his sorrow-stricken friends and students．
