Those who gain fame most often gain it as a result of exploiting their talent for singing, dancing, painting, or writing, etc. They develop a style that agents market aggressively to hastenpopularit y, and their ride on the express elevator to the top is a blur. Most would be hard-pressed to tell you how they even got there. Artists cannot remain idle, though. When the perfor mer, painter or writer becomes bored, their work begins to show a lack of continuity in its appeal and it becomes difficult to sustain the attention of the public. After their enthusiasm has dissolv ed, the public simply moves on to the next flavor of the month. Artists who do attempt to remain current by making even minute changes to their style of writing, dancing or singing, run a signific ant risk of losing the audience's favor. The public simply discounts styles other than those for whi ch the artist has become famous.As a welfare client I'm expected to bow before the caseworker. Deep down, caseworkers know t hat they are being made fools of by many of their clients, and they feel they are entitled to have clients bow to them as compensation. I'm not being bitter. Most caseworkers begin as college-educated liberals with high ideals. But after a few years in a system that practically requires peop le to lie, they become like the one I shall call "Suzanne", a detective in shorts.It is easy to talk about having high moral standards but, in practice, what would one really do in such a situation? Some time ago a British car manufacturer was accused of operating a fund to p ay bribes, and of other questionable practices such as paying agents and purchasers an exaggerat ed commission, offering additional discounts, and making payments to numbered bank accounts in Switzerland. The company rejected these charges and they were later withdrawn.Nevertheless, at that time, there were people in the motor industry in Britain who were prepared to say in priv ate: "Look, we're in a very competitive business. Every year we're selling more than a ￡1billion worth of cars abroad. If we spend a few million pounds to keep some of the buyers happy, who's hurt? If we didn't do it, someone else would."The Disney management is stressing this tradition in an apparent response to suggestions that it is culturally insensitive. Although the concept of the theme park is closely based on the original Magic Kingdom in California and Walt Disney World in Florida, "Euro Disneyland will be unique in a manner appropriate to its European home," the company says. "The legends and fairy tales wh ich come from Europe figure prominently in the creative development of the theme park." Offici als point out, for example, that Sleeping Beauty's castle, the central feature of the theme park, is based not on Hollywood, as some might think, but on the illustrations in a medieval European bo ok. Also, a 360-degree movie, based on the adventures of Jules Verne, features well-known European actors.Considering and reconsidering events to choose the most creative response to them.When a Greek philosopher said 2,000 years ago that it isn't events that matter but our opinion of them, this is what he was talking about. Every time something important happens, assign as man y interpretations to it as possible, even crazy ones. Then go with the interpretation most supporti ve of your dreams.Integrating the perspectives of others. Brain research shows that our view of the world is limite d by our genes and the experiences we've had. Learning to incorporate the useful perspectives of others is nothing less than a form of enlarging your senses. The next time someone interprets so mething differently from you—say, a controversial political event—pause to reflect on the role of life experience and consider it a gift of perception.As people generally ues the word “honor” C B D A AEarly national concepts of ACDBBHow to Be Famous is perfect if you BDDAAIt is my pleasure to inform CADBCLaShaun Wilson spent 10 year in ABDADThe administration ,which already CCBDBThe welfare reform bills passed by CBAABI have the pleasure of working ABADCMost people would agree that DDBCCCorruption requires two actors CBDADIn today’s interconnected word CBCCDI was born into a middle-class family in Beijing DCBABThe precise attangement (sequence) of A,C,G CDBABTo improve the precision of gene testing DACBCGenetically-modified (GM) BCADATo Whom It May Concern BDACDDisney World , Florida,is biggest CADBD5000 people CBBABDisney is one of the most DCBABI want you to know you have CBCCDA recent US BCADAThe educational and health care ADCBCChoosing the right school for you BDCACPosition available for DADCBdesperate 1.
