Life Sport Music

If one of your habits is driving others crazy, you


need a strategy to break your unconscious bad
habit. First, you need to be aware that you do have a
bad habit. Simply being aware can lead the strongwilled to actually break bad habits, but for most of
us it takes more than that. For instance, smokers are
aware (a) that / which their habit is bad and is
killing them, but they cannot give it up. (A)
Why is it so hard for people to break bad habits
even though they are consciously aware of the
habits? (B) It lies in the fact that most people pick up a bad habit because it
benefits them in some way. For instance, smokers can feel that his or her stress
is being relieved. (C) Smokers are not easily convinced of any long-term
damage (b) when / that in fact he or she is getting a short-term benefit from
smoking. (D)
In such cases (c) why / where bad habits are truly difficult to break, you can
consult professionals. (E) They can help reprogram the unconscious part of the
mind, linking unsavory feelings to the unwanted behavior and forming new
habits to deal with stressful or boring situations.

Life Sport Music

Many adults frequently ask children what they want to be when they grow up.
People have been asking you this question ever since you were a little kid. As a
child goes through the education system, the question changes but
. People will ask you what you want to major in at
college, where you want to go to school and what you want to do with the rest
of your life. At times youll feel like saying: How in the world should I know?
Im only 18!
While making a career decision is tricky,
dont get too stressed out. Try to decide on
something you would like to do, not just
something you think will offer you job
security, a fat pay check, or prestige. All of
those are subject to change. Do what you
want to, and dont worry about the rest!
Another thing to remember is that your decision will not be permanent.
According to the U.S. Department of Labor, the average college graduates
change their jobs once every three years and change career fields two or three
times in their lifetime. Non college graduates change their careers even more
often. So, dont assume that your first career decision will determine your job
for the rest of your life.

Happiness does not result from being successful.


In contrast you need to be happy to achieve
success. If you enjoy your job, you will be
successful, said Dr. Albert Schweitzer, winner of
the Nobel Peace Prize in 1952.
Happy people have certain characteristics that separate them from unhappy
people. Happy people are passive and peaceful rather than aggressive and
violent. They are always optimistic about their life and their chances of
succeeding at a task. They are extroverted and gregarious rather than introverted
and shy. These characteristics seem to have a healthy side-effect: they boost the
immune system.
Happy people neither hold back nor hide their joy. They chuckle and giggle to
their pleasure with life. They reveal their true selves to others.
When others compliment them, they accept it with pleasure and feel they
deserve it. If they want to share their pleasure, they do (a) it / so .
Happy people are also people who have a strong religious foundation. Although
it is possible to argue that religious beliefs can force people (b) feel / to feel a
greater sense of guilt and as a result have negative feelings, what has actually
been proven is that a belief creates positive feelings toward oneself and others.

Social Culture Business

Violence in schools has been increasing at unprecedented rates. Last year, there
were many incidents of school violence in the news. The situation is starting to
get out of control and we need to act to bring it under control. Most people
believe the juvenile penal system can solve the problem of increasing violence.
But it cannot! We are currently putting more and more juveniles in jail, but
school violence is not decreasing.
Why dont many children feel safe at school?
Most schools do not have plans to prevent
violence. They only have plans to expel those
who are violent and threaten others. It is time to
put money into preventing violence. We must
learn to intervene before violence breaks out.
One of the several ways to do this is to have immediate and easy access to
mental health services for all troubled youth and their families. And we can also
consider early screening of children with behavior problems to determine the
services that are needed.
While we can continue to spend money on trials and jails, we must also put
more money into prevention through

for troubled

youth and their families.

Food Health

More and more youths are being treated by doctors for


sleeping problems which prevent them from getting
adequate amounts of rest. An increasing number of
teens are also adopting busy lifestyles and ignoring their
biological need for sleep. Adolescents need nine hours
of sleep, but those (a) suffered / suffering from the
disorders often get much less. It has been shown by
some researchers that the average youth gets about six and a half hours of sleep
on a school night. A few high school students often get a lot less than six.
Experts also agree that adolescent sleep disorders can be a result of irregular
sleeping patterns. Biologically youths are programmed to stay up late and
(b) get up / getting up late. Unfortunately, that is not the schedule of the
schools in their life. And teens try to catch up on their sleep during the
weekends, oftentimes sleeping into the afternoon.
Adolescent sleep disorders can have negative effects on memory and creativity,
which in turn could cause problems with learning abilities. Furthermore, it
affects their emotions causing them to be unpredictably bad-tempered. Lastly,
the lack of sleep affects their ability to fight off diseases because it weakens
their immune systems, leaving them susceptible to colds and other viral
infections.

Communication skills are the key to help you find the path toward a successful
career and personal life. If you dont improve your communication skills sooner
or later, the road toward happiness will be very bumpy and you may even be
thrown off course by others who are upset by your lack of communication
skills. Whatever your personality type is, you must find a way to communicate
effectively with others who have different personalities.
Lets think about potential communication problems and solutions by
examining one personality type. People with a very direct personality make up
10% of the population. These people are usually our leaders and bosses. They
have clear set goals and have a strategy to achieve them with as little fuss as
possible. They do not question the reason for
doing something.
Sometimes they are (a) like / likely to make
decisions so quickly without considering things
thoroughly.
Direct people are ambitious people who want to advance in their careers. They
hate wasting time and they speak openly, honestly and (b) fastly / fast . Their
meaning is clear and without nuance. Reflecting their professional life, their
personal life is based on how certain people can help or hurt them.
In dealing with other people, what do you think are the main problems you
would have with a direct person? What solutions can you think of for these
problems?

Social Culture Business

Ones emotions are a form of information. Others can tell a lot about you by
understanding your emotions. And others can also influence you greatly by how
well they use their own emotions. Comprehending and using emotions is what
emotional intelligence is all about. We need emotional intelligence for many
things, among which making good decisions and reacting to others stick out the
most.
You are in a shop and you are just about to
buy, but then you decide not to buy
because you dont like the salesmans
attitude. So you walk away. You have used
your emotional intelligence, and the
salesman has failed to use his.
When trying to convince others its often better to use your emotions not your,
often loud, voice. There are countless times when we try to reach others and
make them understand something. At those times, nothing works better than
appealing to the others emotions. To convince another person, show respect
and show youre concerned and caring.
Some professors lower their voices when they are about to deliver the most
important information of their lectures. They dont shout it out. They show
respect for their students and speak softly. There is no need to carry a big stick.
Students will know the professors are respecting them and they will tune in.
This is using the emotional intelligence.

Many scholars have this belief that advanced sailing techniques helped the
ancient empire of Greece rise to power in the eighth century B.C. (a) Greece is
located in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea. This means that Greece was
right at the crossroads of many ancient shipping paths. (b) From Greece one can
head for Africa, the Middle East and even to the western tip of Europe.
In addition to its location, Greece is made
up of hundreds of small islands. Traveling
to and from these islands naturally
requires a boat. (c) The fact that the Greek
mainland is quite mountainous resulted in
its people living on its coasts. As farming
such a country is difficult, people must
turn to the seas for their livelihood, and in order to exploit the seas it is natural
to develop navigating skills. (d) There are other countries for whom necessity
was the mother of invention, and there are some modern-day parallels to Greece.
(e) Greece was amongst the first nations to build ships that could transport large
quantities of goods, and established ports in faraway places such as Persia and
India. As an important trading and shipping nation, Greece held tremendous
power over other civilizations in its time.

digests and makes energy out of food. People with
a faster metabolism can eat more because they
burn up food faster than other people. Certain foods can increase ones
metabolism and also help (A) burn / burning up calories faster.
What are the foods which will increase your metabolism helping you lose
weight faster? The best metabolism (B) enhanced / enhancing foods are those
which have a lot of protein in them. For instance, there are meats such as lean
beef, chicken breast and fish. Milk, cheese and eggs also have a lot of protein in
them. So foods with a lot of these ingredients will boost your metabolism.
Not only will these high quality proteins help you boost your metabolism, but
many natural carbohydrates will also do the same thing. Wheat, barley and oats
are all good sources of natural carbohydrates. Vegetables and fruits are also
high in carbohydrates.
Spices which flavor your food are also good for increasing your metabolic rate.
Spices such as hot peppers raise your body temperature. (C) Raised / Raising

Life Sport Music

Without a high regard for yourself, life becomes difficult. When you believe
you will fail, you tend to avoid certain situations. By turning your back on lifes
challenges, you are never able to succeed. And then youre never able to build
your self-esteem. Its a vicious cycle.
The cycle must be stopped. Self-esteem is something you can develop. You
have to stop (a) to believe / believing that you are born either with it or without
it. In order to develop self-esteem, experts suggest you should concentrate on
the positive things in your life. Of course, if you lack self-esteem, you might
think that there are no positive things in your life. Thats just not true. Everyone
has something positive happening in his or her life. You must find it, focus on
it, and (b) go / going forward. Going forward means your confidence is
building because youre focusing on a positive thing, which slowly multiplies
into many positive things.
Having self-esteem will change your life. (A) You will
be able to face difficulties now instead of running away
from them. (B) Others will sense your new attitude. (C)
They will accept you for who you are. Telling others to
accept you the way you are is not being arrogant. (D) It
is a bigger problem that you go through life wanting to
be liked or (c) to fear / fearing others opinions of
you. (E)

Human motivation is a response that


our body has to some form of either
internal or external stimulation. (A)
Stimuli are all those things going on
inside and outside a person. (B) When
we are hungry, a stimulus, we become
motivated to eat. (C) The goal is to end
hunger so we are motivated to eat
something. (D) Every action in life needs a motivation. (E) It is of the utmost
importance for everyone to establish aims and purposes for their life.
We may not need to set a goal to eat, sleep or drink. Those are internal
stimulations. But for external motivations, we certainly do. If a person is
motivated to lose weight, he or she must set a goal of losing 2 kilograms.
Without goals, we really cant begin to get motivated. As humans, we need to
have a reason to do something. That is how our brain works.
Establishing a target is only half the battle. We need a plan of how to get to the
target. So, for the person who sets the goal of losing 2 kilos, he needs to plan to
run every morning for an hour. We should concrete steps to get there without
giving up when things dont happen quickly and easily.

1. Simply being aware can lead the strong`-`willed to
actually break bad habits

even though they are consciously aware of the


habits? It lies in the fact that most people pick
up a bad habit because it benefits them in some
way. For instance, smokers can feel that his or
her stress is being relieved. Smokers are not
easily convinced of any long-term damage when
in fact he or she is getting a short-term benefit
from smoking. So these people must realize that
the benefit is not permanent; it is only fleeting.
In such cases where bad habits are truly difficult
to break, you can consult professionals. They
can help reprogram the unconscious part of the
mind, linking unsavory feelings to the unwanted
behavior and forming new habits to deal with
stressful or boring situations.

If one of your habits is driving others crazy, you


need a strategy to break your unconscious bad
habit. First, you need to be aware that you do
have a bad habit. Simply being aware can lead
the strong-willed to actually break bad habits,
but for most of us it takes more than that. For
instance, smokers are aware that their habit is
bad and is killing them, but they cannot give it

Many adults frequently ask children what they


want to be when they grow up. People have
been asking you this question ever since you
were a little kid. As a child goes through the
education system, the question changes but it
has the same meaning and intent. People will
ask you what you want to major in at college,
where you want to go to school and what you
want to do with the rest of your life. At times
youll feel like saying: How in the world should I
know? Im only 18!

While making a career decision is tricky, dont


get too stressed out. Try to decide on something
you would like to do, not just something you
think will offer you job security, a fat pay check,
or prestige. All of those are subject to change.
Do what you want to, and dont worry about the
rest!
Another thing to remember is that your decision
will not be permanent. According to the U.S.
Department of Labor, the average college
graduates change their jobs once every three
years and change career fields two or three
times in their lifetime. Non college graduates
change their careers even more often. So, dont
assume that your first career decision will
determine your job for the rest of your life.

Happiness does not result from being


successful. In contrast you need to be happy to
achieve success. If you enjoy your job, you will
be successful, said Dr. Albert Schweitzer,
winner of the Nobel Peace Prize in 1952.

Happy people have certain characteristics that


separate them from unhappy people. Happy
people are passive and peaceful rather than
aggressive and violent. They are always
optimistic about their life and their chances of
succeeding at a task. They are extroverted and
gregarious rather than introverted and shy.
These characteristics seem to have a healthy
side-effect: they boost the immune system.

Happy people neither hold back nor hide their


joy. They chuckle and giggle to show their
pleasure with life. They reveal their true selves to
others. When others compliment them, they
accept it with pleasure and feel they deserve it.
If they want to share their pleasure, they do so.

More and more youths are being treated by
doctors for sleeping problems which prevent
them from getting adequate amounts of rest. An
increasing number of teens are also adopting
busy lifestyles and ignoring their biological need
for sleep. Adolescents need nine hours of sleep,
but those suffering from the disorders often get
much less. It has been shown by some
researchers that the average youth gets about
six and a half hours of sleep on a school night. A
few high school students often get a lot less
than six.
Experts also agree that adolescent sleep
disorders can be a result of irregular sleeping
patterns. Biologically youths are programmed to
stay up late and get up late. Unfortunately, that
is not the schedule of the schools in their life.
And teens try to catch up on their sleep during
the weekends, oftentimes sleeping into the
afternoon.
Adolescent sleep disorders can have negative
effects on memory and creativity, which in turn
could cause problems with learning abilities.
Furthermore, it affects their emotions causing
them to be unpredictably bad-tempered. Lastly,
the lack of sleep affects their ability to fight off
diseases because it weakens their immune
systems, leaving them susceptible to colds and
other viral infections.

While depression is not a normal part of the
aging process, there is a strong correlation
between depression and people who are
suffering from life-threatening diseases.
Tragically, the elderly suffering from depression
are often ignored since people tend to think their
feelings are natural and a normal part of aging.
However, clinical depression is never a normal
response; it is a serious medical illness that
should be treated at any age.
Though depression is a serious medical
condition, only 3% of the elderly treated for
mental health problems get professional help for
their condition. Many elderly dont think their
depression is serious enough for them to seek
professional help. Most elderly people feeling
depressed very often are merely treated by their

trained to deal with this disease.
But the good news is that this disease is

Communication skills are the key to help you


find the path toward a successful career and
personal life. If you dont improve your
communication skills sooner or later, the road
toward happiness will be very bumpy and you
may even be thrown off course by others who
are upset by your lack of communication skills.
Whatever your personality type is, you must find
a way to communicate effectively with others
who have different personalities.

Lets think about potential communication


problems and solutions by examining one
personality type. People with a very direct
personality make up 10% of the population.
These people are usually our leaders and
bosses. They have clear set goals and have a
strategy to achieve them with as little fuss as
possible. They do not question the reason for
doing something. They merely react. Sometimes
they are likely to make decisions so quickly
without considering things thoroughly.

Ones emotions are a form of information.


Others can tell a lot about you by understanding
your emotions. And others can also influence
you greatly by how well they use their own
emotions. Comprehending and using emotions
is what emotional intelligence is all about. We
need emotional intelligence for many things,
among which making good decisions and
reacting to others stick out the most.

You are in a shop and you are just about to buy,


but then you decide not to buy because you
dont like the salesmans attitude. So you walk
away. You have used your emotional intelligence,
and the salesman has failed to use his.

. .

When trying to convince others its often better


to use your emotions not your, often loud, voice.
There are countless times we try to reach others
and make them understand something. At those
times, nothing works better than appealing to
the others emotions. To convince another
person, show respect and show youre
concerned and caring.
Some professors lower their voices when they
are about to deliver the most important
information of their lectures. They dont shout it
out. They show respect for their students and
speak softly. There is no need to carry a big
stick. Students will know the professors are
respecting them and they will tune in. This is
using the emotional intelligence.

We are tied down by lifes routines and we often
forget to value the many good things in life.
Most importantly, it seems we have forgotten
how to laugh. We only laugh at sitcoms or other
comedy shows on TV these days. But if you
really want to remind someone of the good
things in life, gag gifts are perfect to make
someone special giggle.
Gag gifts are neither stupid nor useless. Rather
they are laugh medicine. They will make our
day by reminding us that we need not be so
serious about our life. They will shine on our dull
day. For every person a gag gift is better than
typical gifts such as flowers, candies, etc.
Have you ever heard of the Farting Bear? It
works by remote control. Put him on a table and
people will smile and say, How cute he is! And
as soon as the words are out of that persons
mouth, you use the remote control to trigger a
disgusting sounding fart. The person who has
just remarked on the bears cuteness will look at
you puzzlingly. But as you grin from ear to ear,
the person will no doubt break out in a full force
roar of laughter. And the laughter will continue
as both of you see the bear glow red blushing in
embarrassment.

Many scholars have this belief that advanced

Greece rise to power in the eighth century B.C.
Greece is located in the middle of the
Mediterranean Sea. This means that Greece was
right at the crossroads of many ancient shipping
paths. From Greece one can head for Africa, the
Middle East and even to the western tip of
Europe.

In addition to its location, Greece is made up of


hundreds of small islands. Traveling to and from
these islands naturally requires a boat. The fact
that the Greek mainland is quite mountainous
resulted in its people living on its coasts. As
farming such a country is difficult, people must
turn to the seas for their livelihood, and in order
to exploit the seas it is natural to develop
navigating skills. (There are other countries for
whom necessity was the mother of invention,

Many parts of the earth are impacted by

knowingly or accidentally by humans. Nonnative species of plants or animals usually have
negative impacts on their new environment. Half
of the area of the islands of Hawaii has fallen
victim to this phenomenon. The Hawaiian
environment has been tragically altered by
foreign species.
For instance, the Indian mongoose which was

kill rats has greatly affected the bird population
in Hawaii. It has destroyed the nesting grounds
of many indigenous birds, threatening their
survival. Non-native species are now considered
the greatest threat to plants and animals after
habitat destruction. Non-native species are
increasing extinction rates at an alarming pace.

If you are dieting, you obviously want to eat
foods which your body will burn off or
metabolize the fastest. Metabolism refers to how
ones body digests and makes energy out of
food. People with a faster metabolism can eat
more because they burn up food faster than
other people. Certain foods can increase ones
metabolism and also help burn up calories
faster.
What are the foods which will increase your
metabolism helping you lose weight faster? The
best metabolism enhancing foods are those
which have a lot of protein in them. For instance,
there are meats such as lean beef, chicken
breast and fish. Milk, cheese and eggs also have
a lot of protein in them. So foods with a lot of
these ingredients will boost your metabolism.
Not only will these high quality proteins help you
boost your metabolism, but many natural
carbohydrates will also do the same thing.
Wheat, barley and oats are all good sources of
natural carbohydrates. Vegetables and fruits are
also high in carbohydrates.
Spices which flavor your food are also good for
increasing your metabolic rate. Spices such as
hot peppers raise your body temperature.
Raising your bodys temperature results in a
higher metabolism, and therefore more calories
are being burned. So now you have another
reason for choosing those spicy dishes you like
so much.

Without a high regard for yourself, life becomes
difficult. When you believe you will fail, you tend
to avoid certain situations. By turning your back
on lifes challenges, you are never able to
succeed. And then youre never able to build
your self-esteem. Its a vicious cycle.
The cycle must be stopped. Self-esteem is
something you can develop. You have to stop
believing that you are born either with it or
without it. In order to develop self-esteem,
experts suggest you should concentrate on the
positive things in your life. Of course, if you lack
self-esteem, you might think that there are no
positive things in your life. Thats just not true.
Everyone has something positive happening in
his or her life. You must find it, focus on it, and
go forward. Going forward means your
confidence is building because youre focusing
on a positive thing, which slowly multiplies into
many positive things.
Having self-esteem will change your life. You will
be able to face difficulties now instead of
running away from them. Others will sense your
new attitude. They will accept you for who you

Human motivation is a response that our body
has to some form of either internal or external
stimulation. In simple terms, it means our body
is reacting to stimuli. Stimuli are all those things
going on inside and outside a person. When we
are hungry, a stimulus, we become motivated to
eat. The goal is to end hunger so we are

motivated to eat something. Every action in life


needs a motivation. It is of the utmost
importance for everyone to establish aims and
purposes for their life.
We may not need to set a goal to eat, sleep or
drink. Those are internal stimulations. But for
external motivations, we certainly do. If a person
is motivated to lose weight, he or she must set a
goal of losing 2 kilograms. Without goals, we
really cant begin to get motivated. As humans,
we need to have a reason to do something. That
is how our brain works.
Establishing a target is only half the battle. We
need a plan of how to get to the target. So, for
the person who sets the goal of losing 2 kilos,
he needs to plan to run every morning for an
hour. We should concrete steps to get there
without giving up when things dont happen
quickly and easily.

your time looking for a perfect gift basket, why


dont you assemble your own gift basket?
Creating a gift basket from scratch allows you to
personalize the gift. You will be able to choose
the size of the basket yourself and the items
based on the recipients likes and interests.
When people receive a basket that has a
personal touch, they will appreciate the gift more
as they realize that you put a lot of thought and
effort into it.
Prove to the recipient that you know him or her
well by choosing something that refers to his or
her hobbies and free-time activities. If the
recipient is a fisherman in his free time, you can
add a mug with the words Gone Fishing on it.
If the recipient loves music, the gift basket can
include a CD you made of his or her favorite
songs. Or you may want to add a T-shirt with
the recipients favorite singer on it. You can even
throw in some tickets to the recipients favorite
singers next concert.
Also dont forget to add things that have special
memories of times you and the receiver spent
together. For example, you can add a framed
picture of a trip you took together. Just
remember that you can show that you care by
doing it yourself.

Magazines as a form of media were first
introduced in the 1970s. At first they were used
to debate the political, economic and social
issues of the time. People bought magazines to
keep abreast of important issues of the time,
expanding their knowledge and allowing them to
form opinions. As time passed people saw that
magazines could be used for entertainment.
Issues and topics did not need to be so serious.
These days magazines deal with innumerable
topics ranging from movies and fashion to
politics and business. Every age group and
everyone with the least interest in any subject
can find a magazine they would enjoy. Unlike
the uses of the early magazines, many people
nowadays use them to ease either their curiosity
or boredom. All these magazines are usually
available on the basis of a subscription, paying
in advance for future monthly or weekly editions
of the magazine which will be delivered to a
persons house. Since magazines serve many
purposes and deal with so many topics they are
bound to remain an important part of our lives.
