Do you agree with the idea that children should be raised by their grandparents? Why yes/no?

We live in the 21 st century, a century of speed that under the development of technology hadcaused changes in peoples lifestyle. People have become more and more busy and family lifehas changed considerably. Because of these changes more and more children are brought upby their grandsparents. Parents forget a bout the importance of the environment, children arebrought up in , their education and the fact that parental love and care is indispensable for achild.In my opinion children shouldnt be raised by grandparents on their own.First of all, if a child is raised only by his grandparents, he will miss parents love and care.Although a child loves his parents and his grandparents too, these are two different feelings.For example we can consider parents that go abroud for work. These parents think that money

and material things can replace their love. These children usually become isolated or starthaving bad attitudes, they have bad marks, leave school, some of them even tried to comittsiucide.Moreover, grandparents might not be able to educate a child properly. Grandparents aresometimes too tolerant , they spoil them too much and are overprotective. The results of thefact that they are not authoritative enough can be seen when the child will grow up , he will bebad and rebellions and will consider that he deserves everything.Last but not least even if grandparents have enough time to look after a child , they might nothave enough patience or they are not physically strong enough. In theese cases , childrenarent involved in healthy activities , such as playing in the park or being read bed timestories.However , in some special cases , if parents die or the child is abandoned , grandparentsshould raised them.In conclusion , besides of the busy life parents have nowadays , they shouldnt let their

children be raised only by their grandparents , they should raise them together and neverforget that a child needs parental love and care.

Speak about the things you do to have a healthy life. Give arguments and examples to sustainyour ideas.

We live in the 21 st century, a century of speed that has caused dramatic changes in peopleslifestyle turning it into an unhealthy one. The main majority of the people , because of the

world in which we live, have adopted unhealthy and dangerous customs beginning with theireating habits ending up to the way in which they spend their free time.I had always tried to avoid such unhealthy habits , in order to mentain a healthy life as muchas possible .First of all , I avoid eating unhealthy food. Because everybody is always in a big hurry andbecause they forget about the importance of what a meal should contain and how you shouldeat it, most of the peolpe eat junk food and drink soda every day. I considered that this fact isdangerous for my body so I concentrated myself on some important things. I always take carethat my meal has enough proteins and vitamins and try to avoid sugar, salt and fats, that canbe mainly found in junk food. I take into my attention that a meal request time , at least 20

2/18

minutes for each meal and that you have to eat slowly . A very important thing that peopleforget is that it is not healthy to eat only once or twice a day , big and heavy meals , youshould eat more times a day , smaler quantities of food. Instead of eating a big sandwich froma fast food or chips , I prefer eating a big fresh salad with some tomatoes and cheese or afruit , avoiding fats and salt , replacing them with vitamins.Secondly , I do sports. Nowadays we are used to travel by car or bus eaven on short distancesand spend most of our time in front of the computer.

We forget that we have to do some sports. I personaly love swimming, so everytime I can I gofor a swim , or when I have to go somewhere and I would arrive too eaqrly to my destinationif I took a bus , I take a walk. I realise that it is very important to combine your everydayprogram with some healthy activities such as doing sports.Last but not least, another healthy thing that I do is trying to spend my free time in nature.Cities are a poluted and noisy place, that causes you stress. So, at the end of the weektogether with my friends we go away from the city, for some fresh air and for a little piece andquiet. There we relax ourselves and we forget about the stress of the city. Spending a part ofyour free time is better than losing nights in clubs and it has a possitive effect on peoples

mind and soul making them more calm and relaxed.In conclusion , althought we cant live a perfect healthy life, we can at least try to have somehealthy customs avoiding the unhealthy ones.

Speak about the impact of music on your life.

Music has always played an important role in each persons life. Besides the fact that music isan art, it was always seen as a way of getting relaxed or as an source of entertainment.Seaking about myself , music has become a necesity in my life.First of all , music is a very good source of relaxation. Nowadays life has become more andmore stressinly , so people search for different ways of disconnecting themselves from thecotidian problems . The method that has succes in my case is listening to music. At the end ofthe day , after a heavy tst or a great effort I listen to some calm music or to my favorite one.In this time, I forget about my problems and get the chance to recharge my bateries.

Secondly , music makes me get in a good mood, becoming a more calm and optimistic person.For example , when I am upset or angry only a piece of my favorite music makes me happyand I instantly forget the reason of my anger or sadness. Another example would be listeningto musoic in the morning making me feel fresh and optimistic that that day is going to be aperfect one..Last but not least , music has an important role at each party. How is a party like withoutmusic? Music at such events brings up people together, they socialize , have fun and dance.Another reason why music is important in my life, is the fact that help me remind events fromthe past. I usually asociate events with a certain song, so after years when I hear that songagain I automaticaly rememorate that event.In conclusion , music has a great impact in my life , not only because it is a way of relaxation ,it also made me a more calm and optimistic person. For me has became an instrument ofkeeping memories and one that always reminds me about the beauty of life.

In our days, in the field of work, there exist two categories of people , those who areemployees of a company and freelancers , people that work on their own and are there ownboss.Although the ideea of being your own boss may sound atractive, being a freelancer hasbesides its advantages, disavantages too.On one hand it offers you some advantages . First , you have more independence , you donthave a boss that tells you what to do or what you shouldnt do. You are now your own boss,

the one that has the absolute power of decision. Secondly you have total freedom oforganising your time . This can be a great help in family life, you can look after your children,you can help them with homework . In this case you have more time for yourself and forsolving personal problems. If you were employed , you couldnt go and solve these problemsin the time you wewrw at work, you were obligated to take a day or two off, losing some ofyour vacation days.Another important thing is that you are no longer forced to go to work when you are ill orcaught a flu.You can stay in bed and recover. If you are employed , you are either obliged togo to work, so you will recover ion a longer period of time either to take a sick leave vacation

and then you lose a part of your salary.The third advantage would be that you decide the amont of work , in oder to earn moremoney than if you were employed . If an employee has to work from eight to ten hours perday in order to gain a certain amount of money , a freelancer doesnt have to work that much.

On the other hand besides the big advantages, there exist also disadvantages that cant beforgetten. First would be the fact that you have to look for work on your own. This mightcause you a feeling of insecurity because you never know for sure for how much time you willfind what to work.Secondly , another disadvantage is that all the responsibility is on your shoulders, if you makea mistake , it is only your fault.Third, sometimes you have to work longer hours then an employee, in order to finish a projectin time. This may cause a disorganised life because you have periods when you work a lot anddays when you dont. In some cases it is better to be a worker in a company because youhave a certain schedule that makes your life more organised.In conclusion , although there exist both advantages and disadvantages of being an employeeor being your own boss, when you decide on which part of the workers you want to be , youmust take them into consideration.

Comment on the following statement: Where there;s a will theres a way . Bring argumentsand examples tosustain your ideas.

This statement refers to a very simple fact in each persons life. If you really want something ,you will secced in having that certain thing . This also refers to the mechanism of wantingand having what you wish.On one hand the majority of people have wills that motivate them todo something that is use

full or necessary in their lifes. Considering children and teenagers, most of them want to finisha high school and university , because they think that without a proper education they cannotsucced in life , althought school is compulsory after certain stage. But not all youngstersmanage to finish a school or a university. This is only because they didnt wanted to or theywerent convinsed about the necessity of education .On the other hand there exist wills that cannot become true only if they are realistic. Somepeople that are not happy and satisfied with their work place want to become succesfulbusiness-men, to earn a lot of money. They consider opening a business, but not all of themsucced either because of the lack of motivation the business plan is not a realistic one.Another categorY of wills are those that go hand in hand with luck. For example , I would like

to win a milion dolars with a lotery ticket. In this case, selfmotivation cannot be spotted, I onlyneed to buy the ticket and luck in order to win.In conclusion , although not all wills can be carried out in a possitive way, the most importantthing is to know what you want in order to achieve.

grew up in a small town and then moved to a big city, so I have experienced the good and badsides of both. I never thought that I would like living in a big city, but I was wrong. After tenyears of living in one, I can't imagine ever living in a small town again.Small towns and big cities both have some problems in terms of transportation. In a smalltown, you have to own a car to ensure a comfortable living .you can't get around without onebecause there isn't any kind of public transportation. Big cities generally have heavy traffic and

expensive parking, but there you have a choice of taking public transportation. It's not free,but it's often cheaper than driving when you consider gas and time, especially if you don'thave a car, you're better off in the city.

I love the excitement of big cities. Small towns have a slow pace. Large cities mean you haveto adapt to a variety of situations, like finding a new route to work or trvine a new restaurant.I enjoy that challenge very much. Another part of the excitement of city living is the variety ofcultural activities available. There is a wild assortment of theatre music and danceperformances available in big cities. These things are rare in small ones.The final thing I think about large cities is the diversity of the people. the United States ismade up of people of different races, religions, abilities, and interests. However, you seldomfind such a variety of people in a small town. I think that living in an area where everyone wasjust like me would quickly become boring.Of course, security is a concern, and that one area where small towns are superior to bigcities. Still, I would rather be a bit more cautions and live a large city than to feel secure butbored.

live in a very beautiful town, placed at the shore of the Black Sea. You can find almosteverything in my town: leisure centres, malls, supermarkets, resorts, cinemas, huge parks,clubs, pubs, rinks, theaters etc. At a glance, it looks like a perfect place to live in. And it is. It'sdifficult to think of something that I would change. We have an wonderful mayor, who is lovedby everybody. Well, by almost everybody... because, last year, he did a very serious mistake:he didn't reejct teh aide of some bussinessmen to deforest an important area from the nearbypark, allowing a supermall to be built. The dwellers therefore were very upset by this decision,and protests took place. The trees whici were condemn to fell, were inscribed with texts as "Iam the tree no.150, and I will die soon". It was terrible sad to watch that. Now a serious partof the park who it used to be so lively and beautiful, have been chopped, being replaced withparking lots and the mall itself. I decided neither to visit, nor to buy antthing from that mall,as a form of protest, or a boycott. Therefore, if there is something that I would really like to

change in my beautiful town, would be that mall, who I d like vanished

school. I have three reasons to proof my choice, and they are ;sent back to that time, I wouldrestor my old memories, have no resposibilities, live with my late grandfather.

There is no doubt that, the childhood is the age of the beautiful innocence. What a kid havedeeply in his heart is clearly expressed on his face. So that I would not have to hide my realemotions. Moreover I would have the right to laugh or to cry at any time and in any place. In

additon to , i would have all my sweet memories with my first experiences. There is also theold friends i shared with them alot of unforgetable days . Also, i was more linked to myparents and my brothers as i was spending much more time with them .

Furthermore, in that time, i would not have to think about resposibilities or remember anyduties. that means i would not have my daily routine that i am living now . Besides i would nothave to worry about the money and my expenses. In fact i would think only in joy and havingfun with my peers.In another words ,i would be relaxed and forget the stress life . Inspite of,when we were younger, we were always wishing to become older,but when you grow up, you

will know that , it was your best days.

Also if i have the chance to do that, I could live with my grandfather. Because of his kindness Iloved him alot. Not only he was my grandfather but also he was my best friend. As he learnedme alot and gave me my first lessons in the life. Moreover i cann't forget till now our early

trips and going to fishing in the sunny days. For all that i wish he could be with me all my life,indeed, we was the warm corner in my life.

In a nut shell, going back to the past is a very good idea. May be some people prefer theirmodern life with all its advatages for them. However, in my opinion, would benefit more fromthe earlier life .Because that was all my sweet days , lack of responsibilities and duties andfinally living with my lovely grandfather.

The way we dress is a 'tell, tell' sign about our personality; having said this, body language aswell as our appearance all coincide together. All three are very important elements in whichtells others a little about us. If a person is wearing jean and a tee shirt, this tells us they arelaid back and maybe not looking to get into anything today. On the other hand, if we see someone in a three piece suit, this tell us the person is going to work and maybe they may have animportant job some where.If we see a gir dressed skimpy, than this tells us she easy and a free willed person.Long hair on men use to mean they were pot heads.

This is very true! i would say it is a good thing but not for all of us. especially not for childrenwho forget to do anything else then to play pc games. but not only the children spend a lot oftime in front of the pc playing games, even grown up people do this. in rest pc and theinternet are very helpful. It would be a very hard life without this two components of our life.What is a big problem is that children become more and more addicted of pc and internet andwe should expect that in the future we wont see anymore children outside playing together.But lets hope that the world will not change so much and in the near future we will still seechildren playing with balls or other games, but not in front of the pc.Before I met the internet and the pc it all was so simple, but now I cant imagine my lifewithout them. And I dont think that its a bad thing because they make my life easier and Imnot addicted of them wich is the most important thing. Internet really is the greatestinvention. But the parents who buy pcs to their children should be very careful at them andthey should make them a program, not too long, when they can stay in front of their pc and

play.

Another not so good thing is that since the internet appeared books and newspapers tragicallybecame less and less used. The authors have a very hard time trying to sale their creations,and children started to forget about reading old but good books. And of course if you wouldask a child who plays a lot on the pc, about a very famous but old author he wont knowanything about him unless he studied him at school. This I must say it is a very bad thing andits growing, just like the internet but in the other way

Since advertisers don't supply any of the adverse information of their products, it would haveto be manipulation. Advertisers are one sided and there is no balance.

Manipulation. All adverts are designed to make us buy their tat. They want your money!

In order to persuade or deceive, a person deliberately breaks one of the four conversationalmaxims:

* Quantity: Information given will be full (as per expected by the listener) and withoutomission.* Quality: information given will be truthful and correct.* Relation: information will be relevant to the subject matter of the conversation in hand.* Manner: things will be presented in a way that enables others to understand and withaligned non-verbal language.

I strongly believe that movies and television have a great influence in people's behaviour. It isan undeniable fact that most people in the world have access to either a televison or a cinematheatre and do make use of them at a regular basis.Some of the ways in which such media

can affect people are stated below.

Firstly, The main group of people who are attracted to the television and movies are the theteenagers.This is the group that is most susceptible to change.They often try to emulate whatthey see on screen and in order to be a hero themselves.It is not uncommon to see youngpeople try to mimic the stunts and heroic deeds performed by their idols or role-models onscreens.Sometimes, this will have a deleterious effect as young people try to display someviolent and aggressive behaviour that they visualize in the screen.

Secondly, Each country or region has its own culture and it is necessary to preserve them inorder to exhibit cultural diversity to the future generations.There are a lot of programs andscenes that are being broadcasted in televisions and movies that might not confirm to themindset of the local society.But sometimes young people get influenced by these scenes.Theyget a false impression that they too should live their life the way people live in foreign

movies.They tend to change themseves according to what they see.This might destroy thenative practces and customs which is highly undesired.

These are some of the ways in which people's behaviour can be afftected by mass media suchas television and movies.So there is a need to look into this matter and to obtain a suitablesolutions to such problems.

In conclusion, if you want to be healthy, you have to eat properlyand none of the less make a little sport.

In all our life we meet persons which differ a lot from us. We can see this in their personalityand realize that they have been in a different world than us and they see life differently, eithernice or in a bad shape. We must take from them what is best and try to change their bad side.I admire my English teacher because I always liked to see how others try to do their best in allthey do and try to give others a helping hand in the creation of the man that everyone wants

us to become. It is very nice to meet such people

cant approve this! And I dont think that these are improvements as long as they aredamaging the world. Improvement means better and the real improvements have just begun.The cars will be in the near future electric wich I think its the best thing, because the old carsbut even some of the new ones do a lot of damage to the nature because of the gases. Andthere are many other things that work with fosile fuel wich burns, and evacuates in theatmosphere all kind of toxic gases. And all this gases, if there wont be any majorimprovements will soon destroy our precious earth.Very soon I hope the world will be again a green planet, like it was before the industryappeared, and the air we breathe will be truly clear.I think the technological basis for improved standards of living is causes environmentaldamage. Though damage is caused to the natural world because of corparations attempting tofulfill demand the main threats are the stripping of rainforests and carbon footprints. We haveanlternative resources but we dont use them.I think that the salience of carbon fuels and practices which damage the environment asecaused by:

The drive for profitsThe power of oil corporationsThe ideologies generated by powerful corporations to suppress the calling for alternatives andmake people deny global warming.(who probably believe these theorys: they arentconspirators)

So we could switch to alternatives but powerful influences are blocking and ignoring

alternatives(at there own expense in the future) because it would be a significant sacrifice forthem to change their practices.

I live in a very beautiful town, placed at the shore of the Black Sea. You can find almosteverything in my town: leisure centres, malls, supermarkets, resorts, cinemas, huge parks,clubs, pubs, rinks, theaters etc. At a glance, it looks like a perfect place to live in. And it is. It'sdifficult to think of something that I would change. We have an wonderful mayor, who is lovedby everybody. Well, by almost everybody... because, last year, he did a very serious mistake:he didn't reejct teh aide of some bussinessmen to deforest an important area from the nearbypark, allowing a supermall to be built. The dwellers therefore were very upset by this decision,

and protests took place. The trees whici were condemn to fell, were inscribed with texts as "Iam the tree no.150, and I will die soon". It was terrible sad to watch that. Now a serious partof the park who it used to be so lively and beautiful, have been chopped, being replaced withparking lots and the mall itself. I decided neither to visit, nor to buy antthing from that mall,as a form of protest, or a boycott. Therefore, if there is something that I would really like tochange in my beautiful town, would be that mall, who I d like vanished.

Many people spend all of their money when they earn it wastefully, but other like to save theirmoney for the future. In my opinion, It's good to enjoy a small amount of money when youearn it and save a larger amount of money for the future.

When people earn money, they should use a small amount of it to do what they want. Theycan spend money for entertainment, buy a small thing for themselves, go camping with theirfriends, have a party with their family..... But they must to pay attention not to spend toomuch.

In addition, doing what people want can help them relax absolutely, give them energy andinspiration to do their job better. Try giving yourself a gift when you earn money, I'm sure thatit's very fun!

Otherwise, if you don't enjoy your money when you earn it, you will live a dull life. Your onlyduty is go to work and earn money, so bored! It's good to budget money for necessities as

clothing, rent and for the fun things as vacations, parties, relaxation....

Moreover,with your earnings, if you are ill or lose your job,you will have money to manageyour life.When you are old and your children still go to school,you can pay school fees forthem. And you even lend your friends money when they are in trouble.People don't savemoney for the future ,they could have problems.So you had better send your money to thebank you believe in.

t's obviously right that all the students, would be very happy to get good grades so in myopinions, it's very right for me to say grades encourage students to learn.

I recall my first English lesson was very intersting. When I was 13 years old, my father sentme to an English class. I was the youngest pupil in the class. The teacher asked me to write

something about my hobbies, and I wrote about my dear cat, she gave me a good mark withthe comment that: "Your made a good essay, it is clear and lively" I was so happy and at thatmoment, I thought that I was not bad at English, then naturely, English became my favouritsubject at school.

It was the story at the primary school, at present, teachersdo not give many marks inUniversity anymore. We only get final grades a semester, and that grade tells students howgood and how hard did they work last semester. Normally, all the students expect to get goodgrades because with good grades they can have a good diploma after graduation, they canapply for the higher programmes easier and further on, it is also useful to find a suitable job.

However, it is not only getting good grades which encourages students to learn. If a studentlearnt hard just for getting a good grade he would never become an excellent student indeed.It is important to learn to achieve good grades in the University but it is more important tolearn how to except the bad grades. In a letter written by Abraham Lincoln to the Headmasterof a school in which his son was studying, he wrote" In school, teach him it is far morehonorable to fall than to cheat..... Teach to have faith in his own ideas, even if everyone tells

him he is wrong" So I think, becoming a good person is far more important than becomingjust a good grades collector.

Finally, as soon as being a student, in my point of view, good grades really help to encouragestudent to learn, but to be successful in life, to be happy let learn and work with the sound ofyour heart.

Whether grades could encourage students to learn has been argued for a while. There are

varity of arguments among students and teachers. It is a important topic because it concernswith the method how we educate effectively our students. From my experience, I agree withthe idea that grades encourage students to learn.

It has been argued that marks could make some students stressful,

especially for the students with poor grades. However, as research on the education indicatedthat grades could let students clearly understand their performance and let them know theiradvantage and disadvantage. For example, without grades, how could students know whattalent they really have? Grades is the indicator of students' ability to master the knowledge.

Moreover, the teacher can clearly master the status of each student study through grades.Every one had talent, but no one had all the talent. By grades, the teacher can understand achstudent's talent. For instance, some students may be good at logic thinking, such asmathmatics, physics; the others may like atheletic, such as baseball, tennis. By grades, theteacher can give different advice to different student.

Furthermore, only through grades can parents understand how their child's performance in thestudy. For example, when I had a poor performance in some courses, my parents alwayshelped me figure out the reason and help me go through it. Each time I went through this

difficulty, I had more confidence on my study.

In conclusion, grades can encourge students to learn. It can help students realize their talentsand find out their disadvantages. Without grades, how could a student clearly understandthemselves?

Some people enjoy their modern life and can not imagine that they can live in an older life.While others believe that the living in the past would be more suitable for them. As for me, for

sure i will choose to live in the past ,twenty years ago in my chidhood, and in my primaryschool. I have three reasons to proof my choice, and they are ;sent back to that time, I wouldrestor my old memories, have no resposibilities, live with my late grandfather.

There is no doubt that, the childhood is the age of the beautiful innocence. What a kid havedeeply in his heart is clearly expressed on his face. So that I would not have to hide my realemotions. Moreover I would have the right to laugh or to cry at any time and in any place. Inadditon to , i would have all my sweet memories with my first experiences. There is also theold friends i shared with them alot of unforgetable days . Also, i was more linked to myparents and my brothers as i was spending much more time with them .

Furthermore, in that time, i would not have to think about resposibilities or remember any

duties. that means i would not have my daily routine that i am living now . Besides i would nothave to worry about the money and my expenses. In fact i would think only in joy and havingfun with my peers.In another words ,i would be relaxed and forget the stress life . Inspite of,when we were younger, we were always wishing to become older,but when you grow up, youwill know that , it was your best days.

Also if i have the chance to do that, I could live with my grandfather. Because of his kindness I

loved him alot. Not only he was my grandfather but also he was my best friend. As he learnedme alot and gave me my first lessons in the life. Moreover i cann't forget till now our earlytrips and going to fishing in the sunny days. For all that i wish he could be with me all my life,indeed, we was the warm corner in my life.

In a nut shell, going back to the past is a very good idea. May be some people prefer theirmodern life with all its advatages for them. However, in my opinion, would benefit more fromthe earlier life .Because that was all my sweet days , lack of responsibilities and duties andfinally living with my lovely grandfather.

If have the chance to visit a foreign country, for sure, i'll choose to visit United States of

America. Actually that was my dream since fifteen years. Really, thet would be the mostbeautiful journey in my life. I have three reasons to proof my choice, and they are; bigcountry, diffrent cultures, and meeting many all varieties of people.

Firstly, U.S.A is the biggest and the most civilized in the world. Also, it has the many big cities,such as, Newyork and Washington. Certainly, I would like alot to live in such big and crowdedcities that has a huge number of people. Moreover, in States you can feel the smell of the oldhistory in its museums and some old buildings. Simultaneously, you can find also the latesttechnology and the highrest levels of modernization.

. You may have your lunch in Italian resturant while take your dinner in Indian food court.Furthermore, every state has its own differnt laws and legislations. While you are move fromstate to another, you feel that you are in different country not in different state.

Thirdly, you can meet many varieties of peoples. Despite the large number of nationalities andreligions, all of them live peacefulliy with each other. Besides, you can see there all colors suchas Nigros, Asians and Caucasians. In addition to, tha larege number of mosques and churches.In fact, you can see an amazing style of creative interaction between all these kinds of peoplethere.

May be, some of people are not intrested in visiting foreign countries. In contrast, I am lookinforward to see every place in this huge world. In a nutshell, the united States gives you all thefruits of the world in one nice koktail. Since, it is the only country that have big area, hugepopulation and different civilizations.

True friendship is a plant of slow growth, and must undergo and withstand the shocks ofadversity, before it is entitled to the appellation.George Washington

In all that talking with the teen-agers from all over the world, the most frequent thing isfriendship. In our days we assist very often at negative forms of friendship manifestation, fromthe most exteriorized ways to the most expressed in vulgarly language.Friendship is a human characteristic, fact visible even by Aristotle (even before Epicurus), who

14


15/18

presumed that nobody can live without friends, even if he/she has all the fortunes in thewhole world.Friendship is also a manifestation form of self knowledge, a capacity of the human being torefer him self on others. Of course, the human kind must look at themselves, inside andoutside, like in a mirror, not in one deceptive kind of way, but who reflects correctly hispersonality, without misrepresenting it, one way or another, underneath one appearance oranother...

True friendship is based on mutual confidence and spirit of sacrifice. Its distinguished bydevotion and by respecting the given word.Those are the most common tips of how to be a true friend: treat your friends the way youwant to be treated... keep secrets that are told to you... pay attention when your friend istalking with you... keep your promises... share things with your friend, dont be a selfishperson... always tell your friend the true... and stick up for your friend.August the 3rd is the International Friendship Day for most of the nations in the world, time torecognize your friends and their contribution to your life. Friendship helps to bring peace andpositivism to the globe. Friends come in many shapes, size and guises: school friends, work

colleagues, siblings, partners, neighbors. Pull out all the stops and let your friend know theyare truly appreciated.Strong friendships may be the most important stress-fighter you have. Socializing has provenhealth benefits, so spend time with your friends.In the dictionary, friend noun is:

1. a person whom one knows, like and trust2. a person with whom one is allied in a struggle or cause; comrade3. one who supports, sympathizes with, or patronizes a group4. an acquaintanceThe dictionary makes one small omission too. it doesnt speaks of the years that a friendshipendures, the laughter that fills the air when friends are together, the support, understandingand comfort a friend can offer or the anguish you cannot escape from when a friend is dying.The dictionary, I'm afraid, cannot begin to define the word: friend.So then what is this magic called Friendship? Is there a magic wand that silently transformsyou and those special people on a journey into, what sometimes can be a lifelong relationship?Is it mutual admiration, common interests, the need to be a friend? Or is it just an enduringtie that bonds you together, allows you to almost think as one and gives you one of lifesgreatest joys.Friendships are precious jewels. Treat them as such.

Enjoy them!Celebrate them!And never take them for granted.

A real friend is one who walks in when the rest of the world walks out. Friendship is one mindin two bodies.

The most common stumbling blocks for people who want to be more healthy, yet have haddifficulty making such a decision "stick" for the long term, often are misunderstood stickypoints that carry much more weight than deserved. Despite common beliefs, becominghealthier does not mean giving up all the things you love, living without sinful flavors, beingbored, or turning life's routine into a chore.

You are one hundred percent capable of taking part in healthy living, and can proactively seekit, debunking the myths and giant hair-ball of misinformation that has plagued the internet,adding to droves of innocent, good intentioned individuals constantly seeking improvementand who want to feel better. You are in control and have been gifted with the one thing needed

to achieve such a healthy, idealistic outcome. You possess it now.

That gift is the freedom to decide IF you want to be healthier or less healthy. I'm afraid toomany folks, often with the hidden agenda of lining their pockets with your misdirection, haveconvinced and conditioned you that to become healthy is a complicated task.

And the even betternews is that it does get easier.

Specifically, the journey of 1000 miles begins with just one step. Thus, if you have to convince

or motivate yourself to stick to it, one day at a time. Then do that. Before you know it, a weekwill have passed. Then two weeks. And then the magic occurs. At 21 days all those little tinysteps have transformed themselves into what your brain now defines as a habit, literally.You've broken through your brain's resistance to change, and it now knows what you've beendoing for the last 20 days is part of the "norm". And from the point on, what you did those 20previous days just got a whole lot easier, because you don't have to convince your brain thatthat's what you gotta do (it already knows).

How to lead a healthy life: eight vital components of living healthy to focus on.

unsure exactly how to get there. In other words, as crystal clearly as I can state this, just dothis.

I've eliminated your need to think about how to do it anymore.

Simply apply small positive changes. Tiny steps in the right direction add up to big steps in theright direction. Remember, if you want to change the world, you don't have to solve worldhunger overnight - just one decision, one person can impact the entire world. Imagine, whatYOU can do, just for yourself.

Decide now to improve just a little bit. Having a healthy life can be narrowed down to handfulof key components. Focus on these foundational factors, and track your noticeableimprovements. Adjust what doesn't work and make it better.

Put Your Energy Into These Vital Ingredients If YouWant To Successfully Lead A Healthy Life

True happiness lies in the psychic, or inner divine. Going to that centre and living the outerhuman life from there will fill us with felicity. One can make an experiment for that purpose. Ishall start with an analogy.A work exists at several levels of skills, talents, capacities, endowments, accomplishment,from the low crude completion of utility to highly professional execution of a graceful act. Attwo ends, if these extremes exist, we find ourselves at some middle level. Placed as you are atyour middle level, if you acquire the endowment of any higher level, LIFE can take you sooneror later to that level. Mother can take you to that high level at once.A collector's work can be done by a rank promoted officer with care and responsibility; asecretary of the department at an advanced stage to complete his term as collector may comedown for a short period as a collector and his execution of the collector's chores will be that ofa mature, seasoned, experienced administrator with grace, speed and dexterity. When a writerof a text book comes down from his professional pedestal and teaches at a primary level, the

teaching will be full of pith and substance, profound, enthralling. But neither the collector nor

the professor can do at his post of duty more than what the post permits. The post has its ownlimitations by its level. Experienced persons can raise the quality of their performance veryhigh, not the content. The collector cannot exercise higher powers than his post permits. Theprofessor cannot teach in PUC what he can teach at the level of M.A. As the collector's posthas limited powers, the PUC class, even at its best, has limited scope of receptivity.While you are at a lower job, if you can acquire the dexterity of a higher level job, life quicklymove you to the level to which your skill belongs.

By learning to treat ordinary events as events of great felicity, you will move to a life positionwhere all events begin to yield high felicity, making all life one of eternal joy.To look at ourselves, our daily actions, our inmost feelings, especially our motivations fromthis point of view, we can at once know what we should do. If we bring a willingness to makethat change or changes, life can turn from one of dull neutrality to one of intense joy.Take the most ordinary negative event like a wordy quarrel at home. It is easy to see how by

being good-mannered this can be avoided. As a next step take an ordinary positive event likeserving meals. By an effort of expansive goodness bordering on generosity of selfless emotion,it is easy to see how this flat moment can be made into an occasion of rich interchange,intense human sentiments. Supposing we succeed here, it will soon be evident that with richinner fullness, we lack the outer skill of polite manners and find it difficult to express the innergood in an outer act of goodness. The importance of that psychological skill will be self-evident. Pursuing the argument further, we can easily discover the values of talents for beinggenuinely pleasant to another. Capacity to be happy, capacity to express that happiness,capacity to make others happy are values rarely found. The lack of them will be sorely evidentwhen we examine ourselves keenly. Creating a fund of natural inner goodness, acquiring socialskills that express it, possessing the talent to handle the ripe goodness of heart and sentiment

so as to let it distribute itself across the family, and being endowed with a capacity for innergenerosity that is infectiously sweet are things one can acquire with patience and practice inhumble circumstances too.

These are, in fact, endowments of the highest consciousness, sublime in content. They arefound only in exalted characters, at the top of the world. One who acquires painstakingly thesetraits in the humblest of circumstances will, by virtue of them, be elevated in his outer socialposition to that of the exalted characters. By itself, these exalted characteristics are welcomeand laudable. If they can also elevate one's position, that is desirable too.
