6、important one,”Canfield says.“Its called:Take 100 percent responsibility(责任) for your life and your results.”To understand what it means to actually do this,Canfield suggests thinking of this rule as a mathematical formula(数学公式):E+R=O(Events+Response=Outcome)(事件+反应=结果)Most people,Canfield says focus
7、 on outside causes easilyyour business isnt doing well,your friend wont talk to you,you were late for a date.You may say:“The market is influencing my business.My friend has changed.Traffic made me late.”Canfield explains that you give too little care to how much your own response to the event plays
8、 a role in the outcome.“What creates the outcome is your response to events,”he says.To see this E+ R=O formula in action,Canfield tells you to imagine an event in which your partner forgets your birthday.“Most people would respond,Oh,I feel bad because that means my husband doesnt love me,” Canfiel

13、ventplaysaroleintheoutcome.Whatcreatestheoutcomeisyourresponsetoevents,hesays.”可知,Canfield说大多数人都容易关注外部原因,忽视了我们对事件的反应会对事件结果产生多少影响,决定结果的是我们对于事件的反应,由此可知,面对困难的时候,我们应该关注内部原因,重视我们的反应。3.By giving the example in Para.5,Canfield wants to tell the readers that .A.we need to try our best to change our lifeB.it
