Guatemala with an eyeglass team frm Internatinal Relief Teams — an rganizatin I have supprted in ther ways fr many years.
Our team went t a small twn in Guatemala, San Augustin. We set up ur tables and packages f pre-made glasses in the dirty curtyard f a clinic,
put up the Snellen chart (an eye chart) n a wall, and began ur wrk.
Yung and ld peple came frm many f the surrunding twns. Mst had never received an eye exam befre. They waited fr hurs patiently in
the sun, never cmplaining. If we culd help them ut, their thankfulness fr a simple pair f glasses was verwhelming. Sme nly left with eye drps r
sunglasses, and even these peple expressed their gratitude sincerely. All f them were very generus with blessings and smiles. We heard ver and ver
frm peple wh knew their eyes needed help but they had nt gne t a dctr because it was t expensive, r had nt gt the glasses they needed

Self-cntrl is the ability t regulate and adjust respnses in rder t avid undesirable behavirs, increase desirable nes, and achieve lng-term
gals. Cmmn gals such as lsing weight, exercising regularly, eating healthy fd, giving up bad habits, and saving mney are just a few wrthwhile
ambitins that peple believe require self-cntrl.
One 2011 survey cnducted by the American Psychlgical Assciatin fund that 27 percent f subjects identified a lack f willpwer as the
primary factr keeping them frm reaching their gals. Researchers have fund that peple wh have better self-cntrl tend t be healthier and
happier. In ne experiment, students wh exhibited greater self-cntrl had better grades and higher test scres,
and were mre likely t be admitted t a cmpetitive academic prgram. The study als fund that when it came t academic success, self-cntrl was a
mre imprtant factr than IQ scres.
The psychlgist Walter Mischel cnducted famus experiments in 1975 that were related t delayed gratificatin. In these experiments, children
were ffered a chice: they culd chse t eat ne treat right away, usually a ckie r a candy r they culd wait fr a brief perid f time in rder t
get tw treats. At this pint, the researcher wuld leave the child alne in a rm with a single treat. Nt surprisingly, many f the kids chse t eat the
single treat the mment the experimenters left the rm. Hwever, sme f the kids were able t wait fr the secnd treat.
Based n his research, Mischel prpsed what he referred t as a “ht-and-cl” system t explain the ability t delay gratificatin. The ht
system refers t the part f ur willpwer that is emtinal and impulsive (冲动的) and urges us t act upn ur desires. The cl system is the part f
ur willpwer that is ratinal (理性的) and thughtful, and enables us t cnsider the cnsequences f ur actins in rder t resist ur impulses.
Self-cntrl is an imprtant skill that allws us t regulate behavir in rder t achieve ur lng-term gals. Research has shwn that self-cntrl is
nt nly imprtant fr gal attainment, and peple with greater willpwer als tend t d better n all sides.

My mther believed in using things up. Last year, ur crnfield had a bad harvest because birds feasted n the crps. It was prbably then that
Mm’s frugality(节俭)became even mre extrardinary. She began keeping everything that seemed useless in the attic(阁楼)—wrn-ut clthes, ld
sheets, brken umbrellas, and sme ther ld items. Mm’s favrite saying was “waste nt, want nt”(俭以防匮). My brther Jsh and I weren’t sure
what that meant until the “Affair f the Scarecrw(稻草人)”, which, as it later became knwn, left a lasting impressin n us.
The stry began with a pretty hat that Mm received as a gift t prtect her frm the sun. Hwever, Jsh and I culd see that Mm’s frugal nature
and fashin sense were in battle. Mm really didn’t want t get rid f the hat—it was new and had a lt f use left in it—but neither culd she stand
wearing it. She tried t take ff the fancy decratins, but they were stuck n tight. She’d have t find sme ther slutin.
Jsh and I watched as Mm headed upstairs t the attic with the hat. “Waste nt, want nt,” she called back dwn. We heard bxes being mved
arund. Mments later, Mm leaned ut, hlding a flur bag full f straw, and with a mysterius smile, she placed the hat n it.
“What is that fr?” I asked, cnfused. “A scarecrw! ” Mm exclaimed. “But nt a gd ne yet.It needs a strng bdy t stand firm in the
field,” she said with a frwn. “And it desn’t lk scary enugh,” Jsh remarked. I had t admit that Jsh, thugh yunger than I was, culd
smetimes be mre imaginative. Jsh and I turned t each ther, searching fr a gd idea. Sn enugh, Jsh’s eyes lit up with inspiratin.
