A

All over the world mothers and fathers teach their children manners.Other children may have manners that are not like yours.There are all kinds of manners.

Many years ago，children who had good manners were seen and not heard.They kept quite quiet if grown-ups were talking.Today，well-mannered children have more freedom.

Sometimes good manners in one place are bad manners in other places.Suppose you are a visitor in the land of Mongolia.Some friends ask you to eat with them.What kind of manners do they want you to have？They want you to give a loud “burp(打嗝)” after you finish eating.Burping would show that you like your food.In some countries，if you give a loud burp，you are told to say “Excuse me，please.”In many places people like to eat together.But in some parts of Polynesia，it is bad manners to be seen eating at all.People show good manners by turning their backs on others while they eat.What are manners like in an East African town? The people try not to see you.They are being polite.You may see a friend.He may not see you at all.If you are polite，you will sit down beside him.You will wait until he finishes what he is doing.Then he will talk to you.Suppose you visit a friend in Arabia.You should walk behind the other tents until you come to his tent.If you pass in front of the other tents，you will be asked into each one.The people will ask you to eat with them.And it is bad manners if you say no.

Manners are different all over the world.But it is good to know that all manners begin in the same way.People need ways to show that they want to be friends.

After Steve Jobs died，his friend Larry Ellison said something like this，“There will never be another Steve Jobs.” 1 Larry wrote this list of Steve's life lessons to remind us all.

Love what you do.

Surely Steve became a billionaire when he brought Apple back.Apple was his calling—even after he got fired from the company.We all have bad jobs at one point in our lives. But the question is: am I in the right job? Have I found the right company? Life doesn't go on forever. 2

Don't do it all by yourself.

Steve learned a great leader can't do it all by himself.He needs people.They must be talented. 3 They must be given the opportunity to succeed and fail.In short, you have to learn to be a great leader if you want to see your great ideas and hard work truly have an influence on the world.

Apple is always the best at creating a new product that meets the exact needs of users.It's empathy (同情心) that helps Apple achieve this.Whenever the user has the first touch with a new Apple product，he says “Wow，it's just what I need.”Remember：you're King in the business world if you know exactly what consumers desire.

Don't mess around with your health.
