   Chris became the first Canadian astronaut to walk in space，and went on a number of space missions throughout his career.The most memorable was his five-month stay on the International Space Station（ISS） as commander，between December 2012 and May 2013.He posted on social media thousands of photos of Earth and videos of himself explaining how things work in zero gravity.His followers could watch turn sleeping，brushing his teeth，washing his hands，or preparing"space"snacks in zero gravity.which turned him into a social media phenomenon.
   Today.Chris travels the world giving talks about his work.He once said，"Decide in your heart of hearts what really excites and challenges you，and start moving your life in that direction.Every decision you make，from what you cat to what you do with your time tonight，turns you into who you are tomorrow.Look at who you want to be，and start sculpting yourself into that person.You may not get exactly where you thought you'd be，but you will be doing things that suit you in a profession you believe in.Don't let life randomly kick you into the adult you don't want to become.

  • 1．    Walter Orthmann，100 years old，set the Guinness World Record for working at the same company for 84 years and nine days，which was confirmed by Guinness World Records on January 6，2022.Orthmann said it was an honor and a privilege.His professional advice is to work in an area where you feel motivated.
        Orthmann's career started in 1938.He got a job at Industrias Renaux S.A.，working as a shipping assistant at the textile（紡織） company.As a child，he would walk barefoot to school——rain or shine——and was an excellent student.He has always been enthusiastic about learning，but started working to help his family，who lived in Brusque，due to financial hardship.
        The town has a large German population，and because he spoke German，he was hired at the weaving factory，which is now called ReneauxView.There，Orthmann continued to love learning and got promoted to a sales position，then a manager.

        "I don't do much planning，nor care much about tomorrow，"he said. "All I care about is that tomorrow will be another day in which I will wake up，get up，exercise and go to work.You need to get busy with the present，not the past or the future.Now is what counts.So，let's go to work!"

  • 2．    Tom Brady is the oldest active player in the National Football League，and somehow he's won yet another Super Bowl trophy （"超級碗"獎杯）.Here are key secrets to Brady's success.
        1 ：（1）
    One of the least appreciated reasons why Brady has been able to hold on is that he has been changing the way he plays the game to accommodate （適應） his age.
        One example：Early in his career，Brady was known for waiting for the perfect moment to make long，hard，accurate passes. （2）
    This means less chance of being hit or injured by defensive players.
        2：He achieves work-life balance.
        Brady is crazy about football to the exclusion （排除） of almost everything except family，at least according to the journalists who have spent a lot of time with him.It's balance， （3）
    "He would be the first to tell you that there is no more or less to his reality right now than the sport of football and his family，" wrote Ben Court of Men's Health. "（4）
    He would wave those long arms and break into laughter as he describes how each of his kids delights him."
        3：He sets achievable goals.
        （5）
    It's entirely another to say that I want to be playing at age 45，and I want to win more Super Bowls than anyone else.
        He set the goal to improve his team — to win at least one Super Bowl with them.

    A．He adapts to win.
    B．And that's not at all easy.
    C．He devotes all his lifetime to his career.
    D．But the balance is between only two things.
    E．Whenever Brady talks about his family，he comes to life.
    F．It's one thing to say you want to be playing the greatest role of all time.
    G．In his 40s，however，he changed to faster，shorter passes，and more of them.
