46、ems to have come to life in the gambling houses of the West. There, a silver dollar was put in front of a player to show that he would be the next dealer to pass out the cards.

47、ponsibility. The risks can be great. Every choice at times may lead to disaster. Therefore, it is easier to pass theresponsibility and let others take the risks.

If you are the one forcing others to feel ashamed of themselves, STOP. Make a conscious decision that rather than focus on the negative aspect of a persons perform

52、ance or attitudes, youll offer helpful suggestions from the get-to. If Im painting our living room and making a mess in doing so, I would like my husband to say to me, “This is a tough job.

54、ctive as it puts both parties on thedefensive. Instead, simply reply with “OK.
