Five Things Ambitious People Never Say
(1)“I can’t do this—it’s too hard.”
Ambitious people never limit themselves or undervalue hard work with these words. 1.
(2)“I’m not good enough.”
Ambitious people never say they are not good enough. Saying you are not good enough holds you back and makes you vulnerable to quit when things get a little rough. And quitting when things get a little rough is never a good thing. The most successful people in the world are not quitters. 2.Be confident and believe in yourself, or no one else will.
(3) “I won’t make it through the obstacles.”
Challenges and obstacles are tests of your resolve and desire to succeed. 3.They say they will make it because they know better things lie ahead—the sun always shines after the storm.
(4) 4.
The only time people won’t take you seriously is if you don’t take yourself seriously. Insisting that people won’t take you seriously is an excuse not to do what you know you should do. Ambitious people never say these words. They respect themselves and honor their work and that earns people’s respect. Start respecting yourself and honoring what you do and people will respect and take you seriously.
(5)“I’m going to fail for sure.”
5.It can teach you valuable lessons and redirect you to the right path. Ambitious people don’t say they are going to fail and let that stop them from trying. They defy the fear of failure by taking calculated risks because they know the only time you are truly defeated is when you don’t try at all. Jim Carrey says it best: “You can fail at what you don’t want, so you might as well take a chance on doing what you love.”
A. People won’t take me seriously.
B. They tell themselves they can do it.
C. They are hard workers who believe in themselves and their abilities.
D. People take it for granted that it is impossible.
E. Ambitious People never say they can do everything well.
F. Ambitious people never say they won’t make it through the hard times.
G. Failure is not entirely bad.
Single-sex schools are better than mixed schools
Message 1 — posted by Jane, Amsterdam
I think mixed-sex schools are the only way for children to learn, because it's natural. In higher education and their working life, they will be mixed so it makes sense for them to be mixed at school. School should reflect the real world.
Message 2 — posted by Hans, Germany
My reaction to this is very clear. For me, single-sex schools are much better, and the statistics show that they get better exam results, particularly at secondary level. Anything which helps children pass exams must be a good thing.
Message 3 — posted by Bill, USA
Boys and girls learn in very different ways. I feel that they should be educated separately so teachers can focus on their different needs. The way I see it is that if you have a zoo, you don't put the lions in with the zebras!
Message 4 — posted by Martin, London
My view on this is that it doesn't really matter. What is important is the curriculum (课程), and keeping students interested. I was a teacher and we had a lot of truancy (逃学) to deal with, and problems with students missing lessons because they found them boring. Never have a timetable with Maths as the first class on Monday morning!
Message 5 — posted by Emily, Sydney
I don't think there is any question that mixed schools are better. There is too much competition at single-sex schools, which often means that students don't make enough progress. I also think there is more bullying (欺凌) at single-sex schools, where children are picked on because of the increased competition. Single-sex schools lead to a “dog eat dog” situation.

2.Both Hans and Bill hold that _____.
