The dish you start with serves as an anchor food for your entire meal. Experiments show that people eat nearly 50 percent greater quantity of the food they eat first. If you start with a dinner roll, you will eat more starches, less protein, and fewer vegetables. Eat the healthiest food on your plate first. According to age-old wisdom, vegetables are the healthiest food. Therefore, eating the healthiest food first means starting with vegetables or salad. If you are going to eat something unhealthy, at least save it for last. If you do that, you can eat healthier food more before you start to eat starches or sugary desserts.

* anchor: 닻 ** starch: 녹말, 탄수화물

Language play is good for children’s language learning and development, and therefore we should strongly encourage, and even join in their language play. However, the play must be owned by the children. If it becomes another educational tool for adults to use to produce outcomes, it loses its very essence. Children need to be able to delight in creative and immediate language play, to say silly things and make themselves laugh, and to have control over the pace, timing, direction, and flow. When children are allowed to develop their language play, a range of benefits result from it.

Certainly praise is critical to a child’s sense of self-esteem, but when given too often for too little, it kills the impact of real praise when it is called for. Everyone needs to know they are valued and appreciated, and praise is one way of expressing such feelings — but only after something praiseworthy has been accomplished. Awards are supposed to be rewards — reactions to positive actions, honors for doing something well! The ever-present danger in handing out such honors too lightly is that children may come to depend on them and do only those things that they know will result in prizes. If they are not sure they can do well enough to earn merit badges, or if gifts are not guaranteed, they may avoid certain activities.

A goal-oriented mind-set can create a “yo-yo” effect. Many runners work hard for months, but as soon as they cross the finish line, they stop training. The race is no longer there to motivate them. If you are focused on a particular goal, there will be nothing to motivate you after achieving it. This is why many people find themselves returning to their old habits after accomplishing a goal. The purpose of setting goals is to win the game. The purpose of building systems is to continue playing the game. True long-term thinking is goal-less thinking. It’s not goal-less thinking about any single accomplishment. It is about improving repeatedly and continuously. Ultimately, if you devote yourself to the process, you’ll achieve progress.

① 발전은 한 번의 목표 성취가 아닌 지속적인 개선 과정에 의해 결정된다.

② 결승선을 통과하기 위해 장시간 노력해야 원하는 바를 얻을 수 있다.

③ 성공을 위해서는 구체적인 목표를 설정하는 것이 중요하다.

④ 지난 과정을 끊임없이 반복하는 것이 성공의 지름길이다.

⑤ 목표 지향적 성향이 강할수록 발전이 빠르게 이루어진다.

Go! 高!

When I started my career, I looked forward to the annual report showing statistics for each of its leaders. As soon as I received them in the mail, I’d compare my progress with the progress of all the other leaders. After about five years of doing that, I realized how harmful it was. Comparing yourself to others is really just an unnecessary distraction. The only one you should compare yourself to is you. Your mission is to become better today than yesterday. You do that by focusing on what you can do today to improve. If you do that enough and compare the you of weeks, months, or years ago to the you of today, you should be greatly encouraged by your progress.

④ 타인의 성공 사례를 자신의 본보기로 삼아야 한다.

⑤ 객관적 자료에 근거하여 직원을 평가해야 한다.
