然后根据需要做出相应的回应。采取积极的行动，如锻炼，注意饮食，保证足够的休息和水分，限制工作时间，安排娱乐活动等，这些已逐渐成为我的常规习惯，而不再是需要去强制完成的努力。毕竟，我们每个人都只有一个身体。所以不要等到死亡伸出魔爪。珍惜并善待我们的身体，它会以更加长寿、健康和幸福的生活回报我们。PunctualityPays!OneoftheculturaldifferencesthattendstoannoyAmericanshastodowithunderstandingofpunctuality.Gettingaheadatworkstartswithgettingtoworkontime!Ifyoucomefromaculturethathasamorerelaxedviewoftime,you'relikelytobesurprisedathowseriousAmericansareabouttime.WhilenotallAmericansarepunctualallthetime,thesocietyasawholeoperatesonthebasisofwell-keptschedules.ThisistrueinpersonalandcommunitylifeaswellasinU.S.businessculture.Here'sareal-lifestorythathappenedtomerecently.IhadscheduledabusinessmeetingwithateamfromIndia,buthadsomehowforgottentologitintomyschedule.Arrivingatmyoffice30minutesaftertheappointment,Ifoundavoicemessagetellingmetheteamwaswaitingformeinthemeetingroom.BeingafraidthatIhadmissedtheappointment,Ihurriedin,andfoundthemhappilychattingtogether.Theirattitudewas“Ah!You'rehere!Wecanstartnow!”IftheteamhadbeenAmerican,it'slikelytheywouldhavebeenannoyed,andunlikelytheywouldhavewaitedmorethan10minutes—atthemost.Theywouldhaveleftmeamessageaskingtoreschedulethemeeting.WhyBecauseAmerican-styleappointmentshaveafirmendaswellasstarttime,andifyoustartlateyouwon'tbeabletofinishthebusinessathandwithoutrunningbeyondthescheduledendingtime.Ifyou'renewtoworkingintheUnitedStates,doingbusinesswiththeU.S.,orworkingforanAmericancompanyoverseas,hereareafewtipsforyoureverydaybehavioraroundappointmentsandpunctuality.TheyaresuretohelpyougetaheadwithyourAmericancolleagues:Schedulemeetingsandappointmentsinadvance—afewdays,aweek,evenamonthinadvance.Alwaysmakeappointmentsforin-personmeetings.Don'tjustshowupandexpectpeopletomaketimetotalkwithyou.Ifyouthinkyou'regoingtobemorethanafewminuteslateforanyappointment,callandlettheotherpartyknowyou'rerunninglate.Planyourowntimesothatyoucanbepunctualforappointmentsyouhavemade.Avoidchangingplansatthelastminute.守时有回报有一种常会惹恼美国人的文化差异关系到对守时的不同理解。要想事业有成就要从准时上班做起。如果你来自一个对时间观念比较宽松的文化环境，那么美国人对待时间的认真态度就很可能让你感到惊讶。尽管不是所有的美国人都总是守时，但是美国社会整体上是在严格遵守时间的基础上运行的。无论是在美国商业文化中还是在个人生活、社区生活中都是如此。下面是最近发生在我身上的一个真实故事。我本来安排了和一个来自印度的团队进行商业会晤，可是不知怎的，忘了把它记在我的日程表上。我到办公室时比约定的时间晚了30分钟，发现有个电话留言，说那个团队在会议室等我。由于害怕我已经错过了这次约会，我赶紧跑进会议室，却发现他们正在一起开心地聊天。他们的神态是在说：“啊呀，你来了！咱们现在可以开始了！”如果这是个美国人的团队，他们很可能会生气，而且不可能等待十多分钟——这是他们的极限
