Life comes in a package. This package includes happiness and sorrow, failure and success, hope and despair. Life is a learning process. Experiences in life teach us new lessons and make us a better person. With each passing day we learn to handle various situations.

Love

Love plays a pivotal role on our life. Love makes you feel wanted. Without love a person could go hayward and also become cruel and ferocious. In the early stage of our life, our parents are the ones who shower us with unconditional love and care, they teach us about what is right and wrong, good and bad. But we always tend to take this for granted. It is only after marriage and having kids that a person figures out and becomes sensitive to others’ feelings. Kids make a person responsible and mature and help us to understand life better.

Happiness and Sorrow

Materialistic happiness is short-lived, but happiness achieved by bringing a smile on others’ face gives a certain level of fulfillment. Peace of mind is the main link to happiness. No mind is happy without peace. We realize the true worth of happiness when we are in sorrow. Sorrow is basically due to death of a loved one, failure and despair. But these things are temporary and pass away.

Failure and Success

Failure is the path to success. It helps us to touch the sky, teaches us to survive and shows us a specific way. Success brings in money, fame, pride and self-respect. Here it becomes very important to keep our head on out shoulder. The only way to be grateful to God for bestowing success on us is by being humble, modest, courteous and respectful to the less fortunate ones.

Hope and Despair

Hope is what keeps life going. Parents always hope their children will do well. Hope makes us dream. Hope builds in patience. Life teaches us not to despair even in the darkest hour, because after every night there is a day. Nothing remains the same we have only one choice keep moving on in life and be hopeful. Life teaches us not to regret over yesterday, for it has passed and is beyond our control. Tomorrow is unknown, for it could either be bright or dull. So the only alternative is to work hard today, so that we will enjoy a better tomorrow.

MARTIN Luther King Day fell on Janthis year, the third Monday in January. It would just have been a one-day holiday for me had I not taken part in the march held near St. Louis Park to support equality (平等) for African Americans.

It was four o’clock in the afternoon when Bridget, my host mother, and I arrived at the local church where the march started. Hundreds of people had already gathered together for the march. Among them there were not only African Americans, but also large numbers of supporters from many different backgrounds. There were black boys playing the saxophone (萨克斯管) and drums, white girls holding up banners (横幅), old couples in “Black Lives Matter” T-shirts and priests (神父) from the church in white robes (长袍). Some of them were Catholic (天主教徒), some were not, yet they all came together to support what they thought was right and just.

This march was full of positive energy and high spirits. It started when a young black lady of about years old from the local church sang a song and the group joined in. Whistles (口哨) and timbrels (手鼓) could be heard along with the singing and clapping.

For a moment, I felt shocked and confused. I used to think of the fight for equal rights as a hard struggle, but these people showed the world their optimism (乐观) with smiles and music. I couldn’t help joining them, saying from the bottom of my heart that black lives matter. While we were marching, the passers-by waved hands at us, gave us thumbs-up, and some cars even made noise with their horns (号角) to support us. Bridget and I left the march about ten minutes later, but it was said to last over half an hour.

The march is only one of the many examples that show how much Americans care about human equality. High school students are asked to read books like To Kill a Mockingbird to learn about the lives of African Americans. My host parents even chose my host brother’s school because of the children of many different backgrounds that go there. Human equality has indeed become common sense in Americans’ daily lives and education.

When it comes to being socially successful, the quantity of your relationships is irrelevant. The important thing is the quality of them. I would rather have a small team that works in concert than a big team so scattered（分散的）that nothing ever gets done. It’s better to have a few close friends who love you for who you are than a lot of acquaintances who you’re not so comfortable with.Here are five ways you can make people enjoy being around you.
Be confident, but not cocky.There is a big difference between healthy confidence and arrogant（傲慢的）cockiness. A confident person, when complimented about a wonderful thing they did, would reply with a simple “thank you.” A cocky person would take the opportunity to perform an unscheduled Academy Award acceptance speech. A confident person would offer praise for everybody who contributed to their success. A cocky person would claim all the credit for themselves without a second thought. Cocky people might experience temporary perks, but long-lasting success is a prize reserved for the confident.


Be approachable, but not a pushover.
You should welcome your friends and coworkers with open arms. It’s hard to find a person who will offer a listening ear in time of need, so fulfilling that need will help you become a person people trust. But there can be too much of a good thing. If you find yourself with invitations you’re not that interested in, don’t be afraid to politely reject them. If your schedule becomes occupied by people desiring your attention, set some ground rules and prioritize（优先考虑）. To take care of others, you must first take care of yourself.

Be direct in expression, but not nasty in delivery.
Receiving honesty with no filter （过滤）is like finding a massive glass of ice water during a desert adventure. Speak words of truth, and people will be refreshed to hear them. Most people sugarcoat their opinions, so a willingness to tell it how you see it will win the appreciation of your friends and coworkers. But here’s the catch: delivery is everything. There is a big difference between “Your article sucks” and “I like the general concept, but I think it might play better if you try if from a different angle.” Truth is something you should aim for, but it isn’t a ticket to be nasty to people. To deliver honest and helpful feedback, use this sentence structure: “ I liked (insert positive quality), but I think it would be better if (constructive criticism/ suggestion for improvement).”

Be mindful of your actions, but not absorbed in yourself.
Have you ever found yourself nervous while fielding questions in a job interview or talking to a cute person you have a crush on? So eager to make a positive first impression that you can’t escape the constant stream of thoughts causing you to doubt if you’re saying and doing the right things? As a consequence, you might find yourself so self-absorbed that you can’t focus on what the other person is saying. The less time you spend questioning yourself and the more time you spend actively listening to the other person, the better off you will be.

Be assertive, but not overbearing.
There is a thin line between being assertive and overbearing, so let’s take a look at their definitions.
assertive (adjective): having or showing a confident and forceful personally
overbearing (adjective): unpleasantly or arrogantly domineering （专横的）
An assertive person would confidently (and politely) ask friends or networking contacts for help if they needed it (and hopefully offer to return the favor). An overbearing person would force people to get what they wanted without a second thought about how their actions affected others. Being overbearing will make people avoid you because no one wants to help a pushy person. 
Being assertive will attract people to you, if you can reflect confidence and enthusiasm.

HX: (laughing) That's admirable, but I'm afraid it would be unusual! Wait till you're more experienced. First we'll put you as an assistant to an experienced journalist. Later you can cover a story and submit the article yourself.

ZY: Wonderful. What do I need to take with me? I already have a notebook and camera.

Chronic disorganization occurs when one is habitually disorganized over a long period, which means the person is constantly unsystematic in how he conducts life and business. One suffering from this problem may find relief in the fact that it isn’t actually a disease or even an “official” disorder. It’s the continued lack of organization in one’s life.

Someone may become addicted to collecting a certain thing yet never organize the collection as it grows out of control. This can especially be a problem for those with a lot of time and money at hand, yet the problem can be serious for any type of person in a wide variety of situations.

One’s personal attitude can often be a big part of why the chronic disorganization exists. Once the attitude of acceptance about being a “slob” is in someone’s head, it’s hard to remove. If someone tells himself that he is a slob, he will likely live up to that self-image created by him or by those around him.

One first receives true awareness of the disorder of chronic disorganization when it starts to negatively affect relationships with friends and family members. Everybody becomes affected by this situation, especially those sharing living places with the one involved.

The National Study Group for Chronic Disorganization (HSGCD) recommends that one get help through a professional organizer. The study found that all of the subjects in the study had problems with making decisions. There were varied reasons given for this problem of decision-making. Among them were fears and prioritizing issues. Research is ongoing for the link between problems in decision-making and chronic disorganization.

Chronic disorganization often begins with situational disorganization, something most people experience at some point. Someone who has lost someone significant to him may start to be troubled by disorganization after a divorce. Someone who experienced changes in life and in his career may intend to let things like organization and order fall by the wayside. However, one doesn’t instantly have chronic disorganization.

“If you’re going through hell, keep going.” That’s an old saying that’s true about one’s struggles with chronic disorganization. Every person has the power to change within himself. It’s a matter of staying organized, one day at a time. Those who have left chronic disorganization in the past have often done so by promising to stay organized simply for that single day.

Definition	It means that the person has a(n)（71）__________ of being disorganized in life and business over a long period.
(72)__________the problem	●One example is that an addict (73 ) ___________ to organize the collection. ●The (74) ___________ of chronic disorganization is partly affected by one’s personal attitude. ●One doesn’t realize the disorder of chronic disorganization until it has (75) ____________ effects on the relationships with friends and family members.
The (76) ____________ of the study	All subjects in the study suffer from the problem of poor decision-making, which is (77) _____________ with chronic disorganization.
Warning (78)____________	Losing someone significant, (79) _____________ a divorce or changes in one’s life and career.
Good news	When in (80)_______ with chronic disorganization, every person has the power to change, at least one single day at a time.

More than eight million Americans are facing a vision problem that cannot be corrected so easily. What can you eat today to protect your eyes? Find out here.

Studies show that people with low levels of antioxidants(抗氧化剂) are more likely to develop eye diseases. Antioxidants that seem to be especially protective against eye diseases include vitamin C, E and so on. While it is not completely clear how these antioxidants protect your eyes, it seems that they accumulate in the retina(视网膜) where they can wipe out compounds that damage cells by starving them of oxygen.

Egg yolks are rich in lutein (叶黄素) and zeaxanthin (玉米黄质)--- nutrients that abound in dark leafy greens, but many of us avoid eggs because we are worried about their cholesterol(胆固醇) content. Research suggests that we shouldn’t be so concerned. When people eat eggs regularly---as many as two a day---they significantly increase the levels of lutein and zeaxanthin circulating in their bodies without leading to high cholesterol levels. Unless your doctor adivses, go ahead and enjoy eggs regularly.

Supplements are showing a lot of promise in fighting against eye diseases. If you have any risk factors, talk with your professional about taking an eye health formula supplement. The current supplement formula being studied in major research trials includes 10mg of lutein, 2milligrams of zeaxanthin and 1gram total of EPA and DHA. Remember to take it only under medical supervision.

People with high blood pressure are more likely to develop eye diseases. Increased pressure damages blood vessels. This prevents blood from flowing to the eyes, making it harder for protective nutrients to reach the retina. Losing extra pounds if you are overweight might also help.

Many people believe they are supposed to drink eight glasses of water a day, or about two liters. Why? Because that is the amount of water they have been told all their life. But a recent report offers some different advice. Experts suggest people should obey their bodies: they should drink as much water as they feel like drinking.

The report says most healthy people meet their daily needs for liquid by letting thirst be their guide. The report is from the Institute of Medicine, which provides scientific and technical advice to the government and the public. The report contains some general suggestions. It says women should get about 2.7 liters of water daily and men about 3.7 liters. But wait–in each case, that is more than eight glasses.

There is one important difference. The report does not tell people how many glasses of water are needed to meet these guidelines. This is because the daily water requirement can include the water content in foods.

As you might expect, the Institute of Medicine says people need to drink more water when they are physically active. The same is true of those who live in hot climates. Depending on heat and activity, people could need twice as much water as others do.

All this, however, does not answer one question. No one seems sure why people have the idea that good health requires eight glasses of water daily. It may have started with a misunderstanding.

How much water we should drink every day
