What makes people successful? Take a look around and talk to your friends and seniors who are very successful, you will see all of them have adopted certain values which have proved vital for their success．
It is evident that successful people take initiative （主动性）．When they find something needs to be done, they never hesitate to do it．They believe that responsibility is taken, not given．They weigh immediately what has to be done and then do it with pleasure thus strengthening their reputation．
Successful people do things with great enthusiasm, especially when they believe in what they are doing．They are motivated by their own satisfaction and the joy they get from doing their work．They work hard even when no one is watching and they devote themselves to their work．
They do not fear failure．Failures and disappointments in life are unavoidable．It is failure that teaches us much more than success．Successful people pick themselves up after a fall and try again with more determination and commitment and learn from each failure．They associate with those they can learn from and enjoy the company of those appreciating their achievement．
Having good IQ often gets a person what he wants but it's really the EQ that keeps him there and helps him enjoy a high reputation．Successful people are polite to everyone and treat others with respect．By giving respect to others, they command respect for themselves．
Another important quality of successful persons is that they never complain．It's better to praise others and win favor with them．So instead of complaining about a situation, successful people always try to solve it．
To put it shortly, take initiative and be enthusiastic about them．Do not be afraid to fail, but get up and start again．When you do so, success will be just around the corner

People talk about energy everywhere．Green energy, for example．Then, energy independence．It has a nice ring to it．Doesn' t it? If you think so, you' re not alone, because energy independence has been the dream of American president for decades, and never more so than in the past few years, when the most recent oil price shock has been partly responsible for kicking off the great recession（经济衰退）．
"Energy independence" and its rhetorical （修辞的） companion "energy security" are, however, unreliable concepts that are rarely thought through．What is it that we want independence from, exactly?
Most people would probably say that they want to be independent from imported oil．But there are reasons that we buy all that oil from elsewhere．
The first reason is that we need it to keep our economy running．Yes, there is a trickle （ 涓涓细流） ）of biofuel （ 生物燃料 ）available, and more may become available, but most biofuels cause economic waste and environmental destruction．
Second, Americans have basically decided that they don't really want to produce all their own oil．They value the environmental quality they preserve over their oil imports from abroad．Vast areas of the United States are off-limits to oil exploration and production in the name of environmental protection．To what extent are Americans really willing to tolerate the environmental influence of domestic（国内的） energy production in order to cut back imports?
Third, there are benefits to trade．It allows for eoonomic efficiency, and when we buy things from places that have lower production costs t1i;m we do, we benefit．And although you don't read about this much, the United States is also a large exporter of oil products, selling about 2 million barrels of petroleum products per day to about 90 countries．
There is no question that the United States imports a great deal of energy and, in fact, relies on that steady flow to keep its economy stable．When that flow is interrupted, we feel the pain in short supplies and higher prices．At the same time, we get massive economic benefits when we buy the most affordable energy on the world market and when we engage in energy trade around the world．

Whenever people think of charity, the first word that jumps into their mind may be money donated to the needy．However, Wugging, or web-use giving, describes the act of giving to charity at no cost to the user．By using Everyclick．com, which is being added to a number of university computers across the UK, students can raise money every time they search, but it won 4 cost them a penny．
Research shows that students are extremely enthusiastic about supporting charity —88% of full time students have used the Internet to give to charity．This figure is high considering this age group is often the least likely to have their own income．19% of 22 to 24 year olds have short-term debts of more than & 5,000．With rising personal debt levels in this age group, due to university tuition fees or personal loans and a lack of long-term savings, traditional methods of donating to charity are often not appealing or possible．
Beth Truman, a 21-year-old recent university graduate, has used Everyclick．com to donate to her chosen charity, the RSPCA, for two years and has seen the "Wugging" grow in popularity with students．"When you're at university you become more socially aware, but it's sometimes hard to give to others when you have little money yourself," says Beth．"Wugging is great for people in this age group as it allows them to use the technology on a daily basis to give to charity, without costing them a single penny．"
Wugging is perfect for people who want to be more socially aware and supportive but don' t feel they have the means to do so．Students using the web can raise money for causes they care about without costing them anything in terms of time or money, and charities get a valuable source of funding．
Everyclick．com works like any other search engine, allowing users to search for information, news and images but users can decide which of the UK's 170,000 charities they would like to support through their clicks．Everyclick．com then makes monthly payments to every registered charity．Launched in June 2005, Everyclick．com is now the eighth largest search engine and one of the busiest charity websites in the UK．
