1. Change your tone of voice.For 30 seconds, speak softer, calmer, or just more pleasantly. You might be surprised at the results. Did you know, for example, that a softer voice giving clear instructions commands more authority with children than a yell? If frustrated in a business dealing, try a more peaceful tone, even if only for 30 seconds, and see if it leads to a quicker resolution.

   1. 改变你的语气。只用30秒，使用更柔和、更冷静的语气，或是任何一种听上去更舒服的说话方式。你也许会为所发生的一切感到惊讶。比如，你是否了解，在孩子们的心目中，用柔和的声调给出清楚的指示比大吼大叫更能让你获得威严。如果在一次商业交易中出师不利，可以尝试在接下来的30秒内使用更平和的语调，然后观察这能否促使事情更快地得到解决。

2. Choose one idea you gave up and re-visit it. For 30 seconds, consider giving it one more try. Was there an invention, a project, or some task that just seemed too daunting or frustrating? Choose one and decide to try it one more time. Imagine if everyone mustered up the courage to use their God-given ingenuity in whatever their giftings. What new things would the world see created?

   2. 选择一个你已经放弃的想法，然后重新思考它。用30秒的时间考虑再试一次。是否曾经有一项发明，一个项目，或是某些任务令人望而生畏，或是让人沮丧？选择其中一个，然后再次捡起它。想想看，如果每个人都鼓足勇气，在自己具备才能的方面充分运用了上天赋予的创造力，将会给这个世界带来多少新的东西？
