    The best teaching should not be an extremely binary action which focus on well-done jobs and neglects the defeats. What extent I agree with is that education is to affirm someone’s success pushing them to go further in their field, and when somebody gets some trouble in their way directs them to a way that helps them overcome the snag.

    Admittedly, praising positive actions is a significant component during the educational process, which mainly incarnates in three aspects including value, confidence and enthusiasm. First of all, only after the results are confirmed by teachers, schools or even society can the students believe that what they have done in the past several months or years is valuable and they indeed understand what they have learnt. By the way, some opponents may argue that some people actually don’t care about others’ mind, who just want to achieve their own dreams. For this case, it belongs to the realm of interest but not teaching. After being affirmed, students’ confidence will be enhanced because the more works done by themselves are accepted, the more strongly they believe what they can do in future especially coming from their heart. This self-confidence will ignite the enthusiasm of students’ ambition.

    Ignoring negative actions is definitely an inadvisable measurement in teaching process. It is really harmful for students both from objective facet and subjective facet. When it comes to objective facet, paying little attention to the faults or even neglecting them will leave students knowledge blind spots which may grow up to a big problem in their later study as a white ant nest in a building. In terms to subjective facet, teaching should be a process of leading students to discover problem and solve them. If teachers do what the speaker has said, education would lose its fundamental mission. However, there are indeed some situations that should be ignored. For example, when people do some research and get a lot of datas, but some datas are irrelevant to the results or some datas even are outliers, so these datas are ready to be discarded. So when students get in troubles of rationales during study, teachers should, at the first time, help students get out of the depression, then encourage them to face the problems and give some advices that help them to overcome the quandary.

    In sum, teaching should be a lighthouse that helps people to find their way to the destination. Giving praise to the outcomes no matter how good they are will incubate a better one. Giving a hand to resolve problems is the rudimental task of teaching rather than ignoring negative actions.

    To increase the profits of Movies Galore by reducing the operating expense, the owner proposed some plausible recommendations such as reducing the opening time by three hours and removing the old movies which were published over five years or even more. There are serval vital questions needed to be proved whether these strategies are suitable for every ten video rental stores in different places. Besides, it has only operated these new rules for a month, which is not enough to prove that they could be helpful to increase the profits benefit.

    First of all, these new measures have only been trialled in the store built in downtown Marston. The rest of Movies Galore stores, for example, is constructed in suburb or countryside where the structure of population, more aged people lives in suburb than in city center, and the life style, people living in countryside mostly enjoy their life rather than making money, is considerably different from those in downtown. So maybe, for one case, those who live in suburb or countryside are more likely to enjoy old movies or spend after dinner time searching some funny movies in video rental stores. It is true that eliminating all movies more than five years old surely cuts the operating expenses, however in communities where the different stores are located people’s interest of movies is not the same, which will possibly influence the number of tenants.

    Second, only operating for a month cannot prove that these changes could improve the profits. It should take a long time to judge a business activity whether is efficacious. It is best to have a one-year observation to make sure if these changes are feasible. Because in different time during a year, the consumers will exhibit significantly different demand, for instance, in summer, except the equator area, sunset time is later than that in winter and also the temperature in the evening is good for outdoor activities, which probably results in the number of the customers is more than any other time from 6:00 P.M. to 9:00 P.M. leading to a great income in that time. So cutting down the opening time might decrease the operating expense during some period, but it is not sure for a whole year.

    Overall, whether applies the owners’ advices to all Movies Galore stores, more research are still needed to be done. A successful business event should not just consider the side of suppliers, but also it is greatly important to find out what the true demand consumers ask for, which helps to cut off the unnecessary cost.
