In a world where comparisons happen non-stop, it is difficult to look outside yourself and to ever be 36 with who you are. There’s always someone who’s a bit 37 . The only solution is to reach 38 and measure against what Warren Buffett calls your own inner yardstick. There is no more 39 measure for comparison than who your were yesterday, last week or last decade, when you were at your 40 .

Nothing useful ever comes from comparison to others. Either you see yourself as better than someone and you get 41 , or you see someone else as better than you and you feel like all your hard work is for 42 . It is a fool’s game. Not one of us is exactly 43 . The only direct and honest comparison is 44 yourself. Everything else is apples to oranges.

My opinion is that you are only 45 to compare yourself to someone else if their life 46 is the same as your own. Good luck finding that 47 . And one thing is for sure. No matter how hard you work and how dedicated you are, there will always be someone who can run a little faster, jump a little higher, score a little better or look a little nicer in a swimsuit. And if there’s not, you can 48 someone is coming up fast 49 you. So how can you always win in life? Become your best 50 . Having an image of your most recent past limits is the perfect thing to 51 you to the next level. If you ran 7 flights of stairs yesterday, then do 8 today. Who 52 if the guy next to you did 15? It doesn’t make a bit of 53 . You are a more 54 person today than you were yesterday. Your own 55 is all you need.

36. A. patient B. strict C. content D. concerned 37. A. stronger B. better C. lazier D. wiser 38. A. inside B. out C. for D. up 39. A. accurate B. useful C. careful D. powerful 40. A. end B. best C. convenience D. side 41. A. satisfied B. busy C. inspired D. lazy 42. A. nothing B. fun C. sure D. success 43. A. equal B. unique C. alike D. common 44. A. within B. by C. for D. of 45. A. instructed B. allowed C. directed D. suggested 46. A. situation B. position C. occasion D. accommodation 47. A. game B. match C. friend D. enemy 48. A. conclude B. bet C. announce D. declare 49. A. before B. beside C. below D. behind 50. A. assistant B. competitor C. coach D. teacher 51. A. contribute B. expose C. push D. devote 52. A. cares B. says C. wonders D. asks 53. A. effort B. sense C. difference D. change 54. A. successful B. happy C. lucky D. fit 55. A. benefit B. progress C. habit D. result

Plastic cards are growing in popularity with increased demands in the advertising and marketing industry. Plastic cards are powerful tools that help connect an individual to civilization. These cards serve as an attractive promotional method by which one can reflect the business services and help represent an individual or a company uniquely and professionally. They are used as a channel of exchanging information quickly and effectively.

A new and more exciting way of offering a gift is in the form of gift cards. These types of plastic cards are a pleasure to receive and actually help a business to increase its sales. Gift cards offer a certain amount of money with which the recipients can shop from that business according to their preferences. The freedom to select one’s own gift makes these plastic cards a joy to use. They are also a great way to bring smiles at a pocket friendly cost.

Loyalty cards(会员积分卡) will help you keep your customers as possible customers. Many businesses worldwide are using these cards to record information about what their customers buy and reward them for buying goods or services. Loyalty plastic cards can range from punch cards (a medium for feeding data into a computer) to track and reward point cards. Plastic card printing companies can provide help on which type of loyalty card you prefer and can make better use of. Another use of plastic cards is confirming membership in an organization. These types of cards can help connect tangible(实际的) features to organizations. A membership card is used to reflect that the customer is an officially valued individual of the business and therefore is fit for special discounts and services offered by that business.
