It’s not the first movie to show the end of the world.But in the latest box office hit 2012 it is neither aliens nor a killer disease that threatens the human race，but climate change.
Some say the film lacks good dialogue and its science is questionable，others believe German director Roland Emmerich makes up for these flaws in special effects.An earthquake destroys the White House and Yellow­stone National Park ends up in flames.
Emmerich borrows from the old Mayan story which says that the world will end in 2012.He is being criticized for fuelling Internet rumors (传闻) about doomsday.
“There is no factual basis for these claims，”NASA said on its website.“Credible (可信赖的) scientists worldwide know of no threat connected with 2012，”it insisted.“After all，our planet has been getting along just fine for more than 4 billion years，” they added.
According to the UK’s Daily Telegraph，it was first thought that the disaster would happen in May 2003.When the world continued，supporters picked the last day of the Mayan calendar.
“Every culture has a myth (传说) of destruction，just as they have a myth of creation.These myths of destruction tend to surface (出现) during times of crisis，” Michael A．Ryan，an assistant professor of history，speaking to Purdue University News.Ryan studies apocalyptic (世界末日的) themes from the Middle Ages at the US university.“Today’s current economic climate is a state of crisis for many people who are worried whether they can afford to feed themselves，” he added.

Stop wasting your time thinking of reasons for your failures and shortcomings.Instead，realize that the seeds of success were planted within you when you were born.Only you have the power to make those seeds grow.
The seeds，and the power to grow them，are contained in the human mind.Success is a choice and not a chance.You can be a success if only you make the right choice.
You cannot be successful without first developing yourself­
esteem(自尊)．Your level of self­esteem is always based on the degree of control that you are able to exercise over yourself，and thus over your life.People with low self­esteem do not believe that they have any power，or responsibility for their lives.They are leaves tossed (摇摆) by the winds of chance blown about with any sudden change in the weather.
You can exercise control over your life only to the degree that you believe that you are responsible for whatever happens in your life.Failures think that everything happens by accident while successful people realize that they are responsible.
Everything happens as a result of something.If we can identify the cause，we can control the effect.We are responsible for what we consciously choose to accept and believe.Thoughts and beliefs cause everything.Our attitudes and actions are a result of habits ingrained in us over a period of time.One generally rises to the level that one expects.We are responsible for setting our expectations.Our success depends upon our level of confidence.We are responsible for either reinforcing (强化) good habits or kicking bad habits and consciously replacing them with consistently practiced good habits.
If you associate with positive­thinking people，you are definitely going to achieve success.On the contrary，the opposite happens.We are responsible for finding，planting，and nurturing (培育) the seeds that contain future victory，born from setbacks.
In short，in all areas of your life，whether they are financial，physical，emotional，or spiritual，you are responsible.Once you recognize this，accept it，and firmly believe it，you are on the road to success.
