Once there was a manager who had a team of around 40 hardworking members. Everything seemed perfect except for one thing: the group has a hard time communicating and sharing information with each other.
Then one day, the manager had an idea. He decided to take his group on a team outing and personally prepared games of 3 rounds.
During the first round, the manager told everyone to blow a balloon and write their names without popping (弄破) it. And soon the team members did it successfully.
After that, the leader told them to wait outside for the next round. When they were asked to enter the room again, the members saw many more balloons without names all around the room.
The manager told his team to search for the balloon that belongs to them. The first three persons to bring him the balloon will win, while those who pop the balloon will be out of the game.
15 minutes had already passed and not a single one was able to identify(确认) his balloon, and that’s why the manager decided to go on to the third round instead. For the third round, the manager told his young group to pick any balloons from the room and give it to the person whose name was on it.
Within a couple of minutes, everyone had his balloon with his own name. The manager went on to tell his members how they were not able to search for their balloons in the second round because everyone was fixing too much attention on his own target. However, in just a short time, they were able to do the third round because of the power of teamwork and sharing with each other.

On a cold January morning, a man sat at a subway station in Washington DC and started to play the violin. He played for about 45 minutes.
Three minutes went by, and a middle-aged man stopped for a few seconds, and then hurried up to take care of his own things.
A minute later, the violinist received his first tip: a woman threw some money without stopping, and walked away.
Only a 3-year-old boy took the music seriously, going over, sitting down and soon losing himself in the wonderful performance. His mother wished to hurry along, but the kid kept looking at the violinist.
When he finished playing, no one noticed it. No one applauded(鼓掌).
No one knew this, but the violinist was Joshua Bell,one of the most talented musicians in the world.

Like most parents, mine spent much time advising me to take part in activities outside school. However, they never forced me, and I never found anything I was interested in. Then one day a friend at school told me about a local dance group and asked if I wanted to go with her. So after school we went to talk to the dance teacher. She explained everything to us and we both decided to join.
My parents were really pleased to hear I’d finally chosen dancing. They think if you develop an interest in doing something yourself, it will be easier to succeed.
I’ve now been attending the dancing classes for 3 years and I really enjoy it. We are organized into age groups, and at 16 I’m now in the oldest class. There are classes of swing dance, ballet (芭蕾舞), street dance and folk dance. I practice street dance and I’m quite good at it. I also help out leading some of the younger children.
We also take part in events like local and even national dance shows, and relatives turn up to see their children perform. My parents are proud of me as they tell me all the time.
Now I’ll be too old to continue dancing with the group. However, I have already made plans to continue with them. The dance school has become very successful and is opening new classes. The director has asked if I’d like to be one of the group leaders and of course I said “yes”!
