(A)

A typical lion tamer

（驯兽师）in people’s mind is an entertainer

holding a whip(

鞭

) at a chair. The whip gets all of the attention, but

it’s

mostly

for

show.

In

reality,

it’

the

chair

that

does

the

important

work. When a lio

n tamer holds a chair n front of the lion’s face, the

lion tries to focus on all four legs of the chair at the same time. With

its focus divided, the

lion becomes confused

and is unsure

about what to

do next. When faced with so many options, the lion chooses to freeze and

wait instead of attacking the man holding the chair.

How often do you find yourself in the same position as the lion

How often do you have something you want to achieve . lose weight, start

a business, travel more)

—

only to end up confused by all of the options

in front of you and never make progress

This upsets me to no end because while all the experts are busy

debating

about

which

option

is

best,

the

people

who

want

to

improve

their

lives are left confused by all of the conflicting information. The end

result

is

that

we

feel

like

we

can’

t

focus

or

that

we’re

focused

on

the

wrong things, and so we take less action, make less progress, and stay

the same when we could be improving.

It

doesn’t

have

to

be

that

way.

Anytime

you

find

the

world

waving

a chair in your face, remember this: All you need to do is focus on one

thing. You just need to get started. Starting before you feel ready is

one of the habits of successful people. If you have somewhere you want

to

go,

somethin

g

you

want

to

accomplish,

someone

you

want

to

become…take

immediate action. If you’re clear about where you want to go, the rest

of the world will either help you get there or get out of the way.

Most

rain

forests

lie

close

to

the

equator

（赤道）

,

where

the

climate

is

often

mild

and

there

are

long

hours

of

sunshine.

The

warmth

of

the

land

heats the air above, causing it to rise and tiny drops of water to fall

as

rain.

The

rainfall

can

reach

at

least

98

inches

a

year.

This

wet,

warm

world with plenty of sunlight is perfect for plants to grow so the trees

grow

fast

with

green

leaves

all

the

year

round.

The

trees

themselves

also

have an effect on the climate. They gather water from the soil and pass

it out into the air through their leaves. The wet air then forms clouds,

which

hang

over

the

tree

tops

like

smoke.

These

clouds

protect

the

forest

from the daytime heat and nighttime cold of nearby deserts, keeping

temperatures fit for plant growth.

Rain forests slightly farther away from the equator remain just as

warm,

but

they

have

a

dry

season

of

three

months

or

more

when

little

rain

falls. Tree leaves fall during this dry season and new leaves grow when

the wet season or monsoon

（雨季）

begins. Thus these areas are known as

the

“

monsoon forest

”

.
