Or it was considered an unhealthy escape from real life and its duties. But now people are taking a fresh lo
12、ok at daydreaming. And it may be that more people are suffering from a lack of daydreaming than are suffering from too much of it.It now appears that a persons self control and self-direction may suffer if he or she does not daydream at all. Such a person may become poorly equipped to deal with the
13、pressures of daily life.Dr. Joan T. Fretbery has concluded that daydreaming does good to intellectual growth. It also improves concentration attention span and the ability to get along with others, she says. Another researcher reported that daydreaming seemed to produce improved self-control and cre
14、ative ability.But thats only part of the story. The most wonderful thing about daydreaming may be its usefulness in shaping our future lives as we want them to be. Industrialist Henry Kaiser believed that much of his success was due to the positive use of daydreaming. Florence Nightingale dreamed of
15、 becoming a nurse. The young Thomas Edison imagined himself as an inventor. For these notable achievers, it appears that their daydreams came true.Dr. Harry Emerson Fosdick believed that the way we picture ourselves is often the way we turn out. He offered this advice:“ Hold a picture of yourselfin
16、your minds eye, and you will be drawn towards it. Picture yourself vividly as defeated and that alone will make victory impossible. Picture yourself as winning, and that will contribute immeasurably to success. Do not picture yourself as anything, and you will drift.” 1. If one does not daydream at

20、l, such as trying to devise a better way to measure attitudes toward music or looking for a better way to teach mathematics. The library can be equally helpful when we are doing something very formal, such as writing a dissertation or preparing an article for publication in a professional journal. I
21、n either case, our goal should be to use the library as a useful tool to help us understand and solve our problem.The following sections of this chapter will describe specific resources available in many libraries. In other cases you may be completely unfamiliar with a resource. Your goal should be
22、to become aware of what is available and to know how to use each of these resources to help you solve the problem they are designed to solve.When educators have a piece of information that they want to share with their colleagues, they often make this information available in professional journals o
23、r at professional meetings. It would often be useful to have access to such information, and this chapter will describe the special services that enable us to locate such information.1.

28、ot that great job, did Jerry feel good about it, as a friend? Or did he envy my luck?” When we look back, doubts like these can make us feel bad. But when we look back, its too late.Why do we go wrong about our friends-or our enemies? Sometimes what people say hides their real meaning. And if we don
29、t really listen, we miss the feeling behind the words. Suppose someone tells you, “Youre a lucky dog”. Is he really on your side? If he says, “Youre a lucky guy” or “Youre a lucky gal”, thats being friendly. But “lucky dog”? Theres a bit of envy in those words. Maybe he doesnt see it himself. But br
30、inging in the “dog” bit puts you down a little. What he may be saying is that he doesnt think you deserve your luck.How can you tell the real meaning behind someones words? One way is to take a good look at the person talking. Do his words fit the way he looks? Does what he says square with the tone
