Chuck Wall teaches management and human relations at Bakersfield College. He walked into class one day and told his students that their homework was to perform one act of random(任意的) kindness. His students did not understand the homework and didn’t know what to do, but the professor would not answer their questions. He encouraged his students to work it out for themselves.

One week later, the students entered the classroom excited to share their stories. One student told of giving away blankets to the homeless. Another reported on helping a dog to find its owner, and another student had been trying to find a long, lost friend. Students were energized (给予活力) by the homework assignment and wanted other people to be kind too. With the support of local businesses, the students made stickers to put on cars that invited people to do something kind for others. They sold the stickers and decided to donate the money to a center for the blind。

Since then, similar kindness activities have been started in schools around the world. Many schools organize a Random Acts of Kindness Week, around November 13th, to celebrate World Kindness Day. Some schools use each day of Random Acts of Kindness Week to perform a different kind act, such as making a new friend, helping someone, doing community service, or raising money for a charity. Students learn to consider other people and thank about how small actions can make the world a better place.

I am a professor of sports and exercise so I often deal with nervousness in my research with sports people.Actually, most people experience nervousness at some time or another.

If you are feeling anxious, my advice is to first find the cause or causes.Make s list of those things that are making you nervous and work out which ones you can do something about.Focus all of your efforts on managing the causes that you can control.

Most people cannot tell the difference between controllable(可控制的) and uncontrollable causes, so things they can’t control become a big reason for nervousness.Dealing with this is very important if people want to keep a healthy mind.

Simply try to accept the uncontrollable causes of nervousness.You might be worried about the weather on a big day, an accident or an attack on the train, or perhaps just things that other people are doing at work.The results may be very important but there is still no use worrying because you can’t control any of these things.Accept that you can’t control everything.Once you understand this, it becomes easier not to worry.

If a situation, such as swimming, is causing you to be anxious, try to face it as often as possible so that you can get used to it.

It can often help to think about yourself doing the thing that make s you nervous—then close your eyes and imagine it going well.Imagine how the flight or job interview is going to happen so that you can get used to it.This will help you understand that the thing you fear most is probably not going to happen.
