Try a paring knife or a knife specifically designed for corn. Do not throw the cobs away. Also add the water and butter. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring from time to time. Use the knife to scrape down the cobs. You want to squeeze out as much of the corn milk as possible. Using a whisk, stir the cream and flour into the corn milk. Bring to a boil for 1 minute. In a blender, puree 2 cups of the corn with the hot cream and flour. Be careful with the hot liquids, as they can create steam in the blender. Stir to combine. Let it heat for about 5 minutes. Stir them into the corn mixture. Add salt and pepper to taste as needed.

You can use a paring knife or round knife designed specifically for corn. Also, squeeze the cob to release the corn milk into the bowl. You can use the knife to squeeze out the juices. In a small bowl, mix the sugar and flour together. You can also add the salt and pepper at this point. Add it to the corn and mix. Add the cream and water to the corn, and mix it again. Put the grease into a skillet, and heat it over medium heat. Pour in the corn, and reduce the heat to medium-low.  It's difficult to find a substitute for bacon grease in this recipe, as it has such a unique flavor. To make bacon grease, simply cook a strip or two of bacon. The grease is the fat that renders out of the bacon while you cook.  However, you could substitute more butter for the bacon grease. If you do, consider also adding a tablespoon or two of Parmesan, along with a dash or two of liquid smoke. That way, you get both the saltiness and smokiness of the bacon. You could use some smoked paprika in place of the liquid smoke, as well. Heat the mixture until it thickens. Add the butter before serving.

Use a sharp blade to cut the bottom of the scion at a slant. The exposed surface should measure between 1 and 2 inches (2.5 and 5 cm) from the lowest to highest point.  This method is a little more difficult than cleft and bark grafting, but it is still fairly simple and works best when you're dealing with young, thing vines. Note that the scion diameter should roughly match the diameter of the rootstock vine you plan to use. Use a saw or sharp blade to cut the top of the rootstock at an angle and length that matches the cut of the scion. This process is best done on vines that are only one or two years in age. The vines must be no greater than 3/4 inch (1.9 cm) in diameter, making this method ideal for vines that are too small to be grafted using cleft or bark grafting. Position the scion over the rootstock. Arrange them so that the cambium layers of vine meet.  The cambium is a single layer of active plant cells found just beneath the bark of the vine. The two vines must be connected at their cambium layers if they are to join into one vine. If the rootstock is wider than the scion, you may need to settle for matching the cambium layer on one side of the graft only. Slice into the rootstock with a sharp blade, then mirror this slice in the scion. The two sliced portions of wood should be able to fit together.  Both cuts should start roughly one-quarter of the way down from the point of sloped cut on both the scion and the stock. These tongues help hold the graft together more securely and keep the structure a little more rigid. Wrap the grafted area of the vine with heavy-duty tape or similar material, then apply a generous layer of grafting compound over all of the exposed vine.  Sealing is important with all methods, but it is especially important with this one. Make sure that you are using thick grafting rubber tape or electrical tape when wrapping the grafted area. Apply a generous amount of asphalt grafting compound with a stiff paintbrush and add a coat of interior latex paint over the grafting...

Alternatively, you can remove the leaves from the stalk in the field.  Your plants should be ready for harvest about 3 months after planting.  Stalks should be cut about 3-4 weeks after topping.  The lower leaves will be partially deteriorated at this time.  If you remove the leaves in the field, there should be 4 or 5 harvests at intervals of 1-2 weeks, starting with the lower leaves.  The first harvest should start soon after topping and when the leaves show a slight yellowing. Flowers will inhibit the growth of your leaves and will compete for sunlight; removing them is important for obtaining the broadest tobacco leaves possible. You will need to keep the leaves intact because they will be hanged during the curing process.  Curing is necessary because it prepares the leaves for consumption; the process produces various compounds in the leaf which give cured tobacco its hay, tea, rose oil, or fruity aromatic flavor.  Curing also contributes to the tobacco's "smoothness" when consumed. The suggested temperature for curing ranges from 65 degrees to 95 degrees Fahrenheit, while the most optimal humidity ranges from 65-70 percent.  Be sure to provide adequate space between the stalks to allow for satisfactory drying of the leaves. Proper curing should take a few weeks in order to achieve good quality.  Tobacco that cures too fast will be green and will likely not have good aroma or flavor.  Leaves that cure too slow may develop mold or rot.  Be sure to monitor your tobacco leaves closely for these signs and adjust your temperature/humidity accordingly. If curing leaves on the stalk, remove the leaves from the stalk once curing has completed. A building that can be opened and closed as needed to control the humidity and drying rate is ideal.  Some producers of homegrown tobacco have built curing facilities and may offer them for sale.  Air curing tobacco is primarily reserved for cigar use.  Tobacco can also be cured using fire, the sun, or can be flue-cured.  Fire-cured tobacco typically takes between 10-13...

Use a large bread knife to slice off the top or bottom if it's burned. Trim off any burnt parts around the edges by running the knife just under them. Take care to trim off only the burnt portion of the cake, as the rest of it is usually just fine. Think of this step as being like scraping off the burnt layer of a piece of toast, except cake isn't quite as dry, so you'll need to use a knife to gently cut the burnt parts off. Add 1 part sugar and 1 part water to a small pot and set it on the stove. Heat the mixture until the sugar melts, stirring constantly. Take the syrup off the heat and add a flavoring, such as an extract or rum. Let the syrup cool and brush a thin layer on the top of the cake before you add icing. It may help to poke holes in the cake with a fork to help it absorb the syrup. If you don't have time to make a simple syrup, apply a thick layer of buttercream frosting in the middle of the cake. Then use moist ingredients on top to decorate, such as fruit or chocolate. If your cake is only 1 layer, you'll need to cut it in half with a large bread knife to add frosting to the middle.

Cut off the stems of lavender along with the flowers, in 6 inch (15 centimeter) segments or longer. The leaves and new stems can be used to infuse oil as well as the flowers, although the woody, thick stems near the base should be avoided. You may use flower buds or strong-smelling flowers. You may wish to pick more lavender than you think you need. Then, if the oil you create isn't strong enough to suit your preferences, you will not have to wait for a new batch of lavender to dry. . If you are using fresh lavender, dry it first in shade or wrapped in a cloth, to enhance its aroma and minimize the chance of the oil becoming rancid. Tie the sprig up with rubber bands or a string and let it hang upside down in a dry, warm area. Exposing it to sunlight will dry the lavender out much faster, but could break down some of its aromatic oils. Fresh cut lavender may take two weeks to dry fully. Some infusers dry it for only one to three days, until it is withered but not crunchy; this reduces the chance of spoilage greatly, but does not eliminate it. Crumble the lavender apart with clean hands, or bruise it slightly with any clean, heavy object to expose its fragrance. If using buds, open them up with a knife or fingers. Place it in a clean jar. Wash your hands and jar first if they are dirty, but dry thoroughly before bringing them into contact with the lavender. Mixing water into the oil may interfere with the infusion. Pour any non-scented or lightly scented oil into the jar, fully covering the lavender but leaving 1–2 inches (1.25–2.5cm) of space at the top to allow for expansion. Almond oil, olive oil, or safflower oil are commonly used for this purpose, although you may wish to smell these first and avoid strong-smelling bottles that could overpower the lavender scent. Cover the jar tightly and leave the mixture to soak in a sunny location. It will most likely take at least 48 hours to achieve a noticeable scent, and more typically the oil is left out for three to six weeks. If you do not have enough sunlight...

Cut them right at their peak, when their color and scent are strongest. This will ensure they'll last as long as possible in your flower arrangement. Place them in a vase of clean water immediately. Gather a bunch of freshly harvested lilacs and bind their stems with a rubber band. Hang them upside down in a cool, dark place for 1 – 3 weeks. Gently remove the rubber band when the lilacs are completely dry.  Dry lilacs using silica gel. Fill a large glass or plastic container with an inch of silica gel. Place a few stems of freshly harvested lilac into the container so that they stand up in the gel. Fill the rest of the container with gel so that it completely covers the lilac. Put a lid on the container and wait a week or so for the lilacs to dry. Remove them from the jar and use them in a flower arrangement.

If you're cutting roses from your own rosebush to display indoors, cut them as early as possible in the morning, before it gets hot outside. Cutting them while it's still cool will keep them from wilting just after cutting. Immediately after cutting the roses, put the stems in a clean bucket of fresh water.  The night before cutting your roses, water the rosebush. Well-hydrated roses will stay fresher longer than roses cut from a bush that hasn't been recently watered.  Cut the stems at a 45 degree angle using a clean pair of hand pruners. If you're not cutting your own roses, try to buy them from a well-reputed florist, preferably one with whom you have a relationship. That way you'll be able to get your hands on roses that were very recently cut, rather than roses that may have been sitting there for a week.  Ask the florist which flowers arrived that very morning, and try to select the very freshest roses possible. Choose roses from the refrigeration unit, since roses that are kept cool last longer than those that have been sitting out at room temperature. This is a sure way to tell whether roses are still fresh. When you're examining roses before making your purchase, gently squeeze them at their base, where the petals come together at the stem. If it feels loose and squishy, the roses are old, and you should avoid them. If it feels firm and taut, the roses are fresh.

A sharpened hoe blade allows you to sever the weeds without having to bend over or crouch. Swing the blade against the weed near the base, then leave the weed to decompose. If vegetables are already growing, a thin-bladed "onion hoe" may be easiest to maneuver without damaging the useful plants.  If the weed already has visible seed pods or seed heads, pull these off before you cut, and discard them in a trash can covered or far away from your garden. A stirrup hoe helps take weeds out easily. It has blades that run parallel to the ground, making it easy to go along and cut weeds down. Hand-pulling weeds can be a slow process, but is often necessary when weeds sprout too close to vegetables to risk swinging a hoe. This also allows you to remove the roots of large weeds as well as the surface plant, preventing the same weed from growing again.  Using a tool such as a gardening trowel or Hori-Hori knife may make this task easier and reduce strain on your hands. Pruning shears are notoriously un-ergonomic, which can causes problems such as arthritis. When choosing pruners, make sure that they fit your hand well and  don't require excessive push to move the blades. For weeds growing next to small crops, press your fingers down on either side of the weed to keep soil in place while pulling.  Removing weeds is easier while the soil is beginning to dry out from a watering. However, avoid walking on or pressing wet soil, which can reduce aeration. Post-emergent herbicides are designed to kill weeds that have already grown. Any type of herbicide should be used cautiously, as they have the potential to kill desirable plants as well, potentially even ones planted in neighboring gardens. Match your herbicide to your type of weed, and check that it does not have any harmful effects on your specific vegetable crops. Use these guidelines to begin your research:  Herbicides containing trifluralin can be used to control grass weeds, but these are banned in the European Union. Herbicides with sethoxidym, including Poast, can...

There are a variety of tools you can use to remove the caulk, but it's most effective to slice it off with a razor scraper, utility knife, or five-in-one painter's tool. Using quick, sharp strokes, slice under the length of all old caulk beads. Go along each edge of the caulk with your blade to get it removed.  If you are caulking a new shower, there won't be any caulk for you to remove. Note that metal blades and chemical caulk removers can damage plastic tubs. Use a plastic blade if your tub or shower is made of plastic. Once you have loosened the caulk with a knife, pull it off using your fingers. In most cases, if you sliced along both edges of the caulk thoroughly, you will be able to grab one end and pull a long strip out all in one piece. If you can't get a section out easily, cut along the edges again and try to pry it out with the knife. After you slice off the majority of the caulk, there will likely be some small pieces left on the walls. Scrub the sides of the shower with a dry, nonabrasive pad or sponge to remove as much of the old caulk as you can. Follow that by wiping down the surface with rubbing alcohol or scrubbing it with a multi-surface cleanser to remove any remaining caulk, shower scum, or grease.  If your old caulk was made of silicone, use a pad or rag soaked in mineral spirits to break down any remaining bits of caulk. Use a soft rag and not an abrasive one, so that the shower surface is not scarred. Use a damp, clean rag to wipe all seams. This will remove any cleaner, caulk dust, and other dirt from the area. Then dry down the area thoroughly with a dry rag, hair dryer, or paper towels. You can also simply let the area sit until you are sure the seams are all completely dry. If you leave debris or dirt on the surface, the new caulk will not stick as well and not last as long. Place a strip of tape on either side of each joint being caulked. The lines of tape should run parallel to each other and be spaced roughly 3/8 inch (9.5 mm) apart from each other. The tape is being used to...

When the rice has turned gold (about 2 weeks or so after draining), they're ready. Cut the stalks just under the heads, where the rice grains are placed. You'll see little pockets at the top of the stalk that are unmistakably the hulls of the rice.  Let them dry for 2-3 weeks. With the stalks cut, wrap them in newspaper and keep them in a dry, sunny place for 2-3 weeks. The moisture needs to fully dry out for you to get at the grains cleanly. Take the heads and pop 'em in the oven for roasting. It shouldn't be too hot or the grains will burn. During this time, they should turn a darker shade of golden brown. After that time is up, let them cool. Then rub them with your hands (or use a mortar and pestle) to separate the kernels from the hulls. Now you're dealing with rice grains you'll actually recognize. This will leave you with grains of rice that are ready for cooking and consumption.  For the record, this last bit can be quite tedious – after a handful or two, you'll be glad for modern technology. Be patient – you're doing it right, it just takes a while. When you're done, you'll be left with an amazing store of food you produced all by yourself.

As with the method for sewing by hand, the first thing to do is to clean up the hole or rip by trimming away any loose or dangling threads. Take care as you do this and try to be as precise as possible. Threading the needle on a sewing machine can be a bit tricky as they use two sources of thread, one from the bobbin and one from the spool. The first thing to do is wind the bobbin so that it is wrapped with thread. Once the spool and bobbin are in place on the top of your machine, unravel a few inches of thread towards the far left side of the spool and wrap it around the nubbin on the left hand side of your machine.  Then pull this thread to the bobbin, thread it through the small hole, and wrap it around the bobbin a few times to secure it. Fix the bobbin in place by pushing it to the right and then gentle press down on your peddle to wind the thread from the spool to the bobbin until you have as much thread as you need on the bobbin. Cut the thread to separate the spool and bobbin, then remove the bobbin and switch off your machine.

The lip is the raised rim at the top of the bottle. Position the foil cutter so it’s resting on the top of the lip and squeeze it to cut the foil that’s covering the cork. You can find a foil cutter online or at your local wine store. Position the tip of the corkscrew on the cork so it’s a little off center. Push down and turn the corkscrew. Keep turning until you’re one turn away from the corkscrew being all the way inside of the cork. Then, pull up on the handle of the corkscrew with your fingers until the cork pops out of the bottle. Repeat on all the bottles of wine you’re serving. Insert the wine-stained side of the cork back into the bottle after you've poured some of the wine into a glass. Store the wines in the fridge when you're not drinking them. The cold temperature will slow down the rate at which the wines go bad. After 5 years, bottles of red wine can develop bitter-tasting sediment. Decanting separates the wine from the sediment. After you open the bottle of red wine, slowly pour the wine into a wine decanter. When you get to the last bit of wine in the bottle, carefully observe the inside of the neck of the bottle. When you see sediment start to accumulate on the neck, stop pouring. Pour your guests wine using the decanter. When the decanter is completely empty, refill it with another bottle of red wine.

This keeps the plant from going to seed and spreading too far. It can also make the roots more potent if you are harvesting them for a sleep aid.  Use a sharp pair of shears and cut near the base of the stem. Valerian starts blooming early in the spring. You may get two or three blooms, depending upon the placement of the plant and its age. Harvest mature root systems in the fall for drying. Allow the plant to go a few days without water before you harvest so that the natural compounds are more potent. You can also dig up older plants for medicinal use and let younger volunteers grow for next year. Rinse the roots off with your garden hose before you take them inside. Wash them thoroughly by soaking them in a bowl. Let them dry in a cool, dry place for two to three months. They are extremely pungent, so they shouldn’t be dried on a kitchen table.  Simmer the roots for use as a sleep aid. You can also give the dried roots to cats, who love it like catnip. Use clean, fresh leaves as a nighttime relaxation tea or dry them to make a loose-leaf tea blend.

If you plan on curing bamboo, you need to collect bamboo first. Understand which seasons are best when it comes to collecting bamboo.  The best time to harvest bamboo is at the end of the dry season in your area. Starch content is at its highest during this season, making parasite and fungal attacks less likely.  If you have a rainy season, avoid harvesting bamboo during this time. In general, bamboo is most susceptible to damage during this season. Use a machete or saw to cut bamboo. Make sure to cut just above the first or second node above the ground. This is the best place to cut bamboo to prevent damage during storage and transportation. Once you've cut bamboo, make sure you transport it properly. Improper transportation techniques can lead to damage.  Carry the bamboo above the ground or transport in a wheelbarrow or truck. Dragging bamboo across the ground can cause damage.  Do not throw bamboo culms on hard ground. This can cause damage. When you reach the storage area, set the bamboo culms down gently. When you harvest bamboo, culms should not be too young or too old. Aim for bamboo poles between 4 and 7 years old for best results.  Bamboo tends to grow in clumps. Poles that are inside the clump are older than those growing outside.  Talk to an experienced bamboo harvester. He or she will be able to tell the age of bamboo by knocking on the culm and observing the different sounds.

Tall grass makes for a much healthier lawn. Never cut your lawn below two inches (5cm), and keep it at 2.5–3.5 inches (6.4–8.9cm) if you can stand it. Older lawn care guides may recommend different heights for different seasons. Most modern experts agree that grass should be left tall year-round. Cutting away more than ⅓ of the grass height seriously damages your grass. If you miss a mowing session and the grass is far too tall, remove ⅓ of the grass, then wait a few days before cutting it down to the desired height. You may need to cut fast-growing species every three or four days during ideal spring conditions. For example, if the goal height is 2 inches (5cm), don't let the grass grow taller than 3 in. (7.5cm) before mowing. If the goal is 3 inches (7.6cm), don't let it get above 4.5 in (11.4cm). Avoid mowing during the hottest part of the day, when grass is vulnerable. Also avoid mowing while the grass is wet. Wet clippings clump on the lawn instead of getting evenly distributed, some mowers are less efficient, and the slippery grass can be dangerous for the mower operator. Grass clippings decompose quickly and provide nutrients for the lawn. You may use them elsewhere in your garden instead, but grass treated with herbicides and pesticides should not be used on flowers or vegetables. Grass clippings do not contribute to thatch, as is commonly believed. . Dull mower blades shred the grass blades, leaving them ragged and vulnerable to further damage. An annual sharpening is usually fine for a home lawn, but sharpening several times a season is best if the mower is heavily used. Once your lawn stops growing, remove an extra 0.5–1 inch (1.25–2.5 cm) on the final mow. This helps prevent matted grass and snow mold over the winter.

. Pick sprigs of rosemary leaves as needed. The bush will just keep on happily growing. Since rosemary is evergreen, you can harvest it all year round. You can also freeze rosemary by placing it in food storage bags and storing in the freezer. Alternatively, strip the leaves from the stems and store in airtight jars. Stored this way, rosemary will slowly dry and will keep for several months. Rosemary is a wonderful compliment to both sweet and savory dishes. Use it to add depth to meat and chicken, bread, butter, and even ice cream. These delicious recipes make use of rosemary:    Herb bread.   Marinated pork.   Rosemary syrup.   Lemon sorbet with rosemary. Rosemary can be dried and made into  scented drawer sachets, used as in ingredient in homemade soap,  turned into a fragranced water that makes your hair shiny and soft, and more. You can also simply brush against your rosemary plant to experience a fresh burst of its uplifting scent.

A stalker may begin to immediately reach out to you and contact you incessantly. This person may begin to call, text, email and visit you to a degree that feels invasive to you. If the contact feels outside of social norms and exceeds your comfort level, the behavior may be related to stalking. Perhaps the person reaches out to you over several social media platforms and “friends” you, then begins to text you non-stop. You may begin to feel uncomfortable. A person with stalker tendencies may insist you bring him or her to events, or to tag along to meetups with friends or family. The person may insist on knowing where you’re going or knowing your plans. You may begin to feel uneasy with someone always wanting to know your whereabouts or plans for the day.  If someone insists on knowing what you do each day, this can be a red flag. There’s a difference between being interested in your life and becoming obsessed with your whereabouts. If you begin to date someone who shows these traits, reconsider seeing him or her again. A stalker may have information about you that you have never provided. The person may research you and know information about you, your workplace, your friends, family members, and favorite places. They may know your route to and from work, what time you go to the gym, and any other patterns in your schedule. You may notice that the person slips up and says something you never told them. This can be a warning sign. A stalker may not know the boundaries of acceptable social behavior. The person may be socially awkward, have little to no social awareness, and not “fit in” in groups. The stalker may have little awareness as to how people interact with others or make assumptions for how others see them. Often, the person has no or few personal relationships and has low self-esteem. Some people are simply awkward, not stalkers. If the person doesn't seem to obsess over you, isn't threatening, and doesn't seem attached to you in particular, then they probably just aren't good at socializing. Notice...

The sooner your doctor diagnoses shingles, the better. (Sorry, self-diagnosis is not recommended.) Patients who start a course of drug treatment within three days of symptoms see better results than patients who wait longer than three days to start treatment. Most treatments for shingles are not very elaborate. They involve treating the symptoms of the rash while managing the patient's pain. Your doctor may ask you to try the following:  An antiviral medicine, like acyclovir (Zovirax), valacyclovir (Valtrex), famciclovir (Famvir), in order to dull the pain of the rash and make it last shorter Over-the-counter NSAIDS such as ibuprofen, aspirin, or acetaminophen to manage pain Certain topical antibiotics to prevent infection and spread of any rash or blisters Your doctor may diagnose postherpetic neuralgia (PHN). In order to treat this chronic condition that 15 out of every 100 shingles patients experiences, you doctor may give you:  Antidepressants (PHN is often associated with depression, as certain daily activities become painful and/or difficult to do). Topical anesthetics, including benzocaine (available OTC) and lidocaine patches (available by prescription only). Anticonvulsants, as some studies show that these drugs may help with chronic nerve pain. Opoids, such as codeine, to help reduce chronic pain. Although you should never let shingles go untreated, there are a number of things you can do at home to combine with doctor's orders. These include:  Don't cover or itch the rash or blisters too much. Let the rash and blisters breathe, even as they scab over. If the pain keeps you from sleeping, it's acceptable to wrap the rash in a sports bandage.  Icing the shingles for 10 minutes, with 5-minute breaks in between, for several hours. Afterward, dissolve some aluminum acetate (Domeboro) in water and apply using a moist compress to the rash. Have your pharmacist mix a salve.

Ссылайтесь на другие случаи, когда вы хорошо вели себя с друзьями. Покажите, что друзья не будут отвлекать вас от учебы. Помогайте по дому. Следуйте правилам ваших родителей. Будьте добрым к своим братьям и сестрам.

If you really want to get your parents to say yes, then after you ask them if you can have a sleepover, you can remind them of what a responsible, awesome person you've been in the past when you've hung out with your friends. Maybe the same friends who you want to sleep over had hung out at your house the last week. You can say something like, "Remember when Maggie came over to watch TV and eat pizza? Nothing bad happened, right?" Show them that it's not a big deal that your friends, who you're good at hanging out with already, just spend a few extra nighttime hours in your home. Your parents need to see that you can behave well instead of just being promised. Make a list of times when you've played well with others in the past so you can bring it up to put them at ease. If you want your parents to let you have a sleepover, then it's not a bad week to bring home some As. Show your parents that you're a good student, that you're focused on your work, and that you won't be distracted by a few friends. Having friendships is healthy and important to your development, and you should show your folks that you have the whole balance between work and play under control. If your grades aren't so hot, your parents can use that as an excuse to keep you from having a sleepover. Work to be a good student and to show them that you have things under control and they'll be more likely to say yes to you. Not everyone is meant to be at the head of the class, but doing your best is important. Another way to persuade your parents to let you have a sleepover is to be extra helpful around the house. You should not only do your chores, but go above and beyond to make sure that everything is spic and span. Do the laundry, make your parents' beds, and even offer to cook dinner or to pick it up, if you can. You can even vacuum, dust, or do some of those other less than pleasant tasks that your parents are always doing. Your parents will see that you're really responsible and will be impressed. Of course, you shouldn't help out only so...

Many humans are pretty basic when it comes to the art of persuasion. We all want to be fashionable, cool, and look good. If you say that Kobe Bryant or Kim Kardashian, for example, wears these exact brand of shoes, there's is a chance that that will perk up their interest. We often look to celebrities for cues on what's trendy, and this is the perfect time to put this factor to good use. That being said, for some people this can backfire. Try your best to read the customer. If they dress and act like they value being their own individual, you might want to stay away from the celebrities. Some people hear "Kim Kardashian" and they want to run in the opposite direction. We've all had experiences with salespeople that are sallow, unfriendly, and just don't seem to want to get a sale. What do we, as the customer, do in that situation? Leave, generally. To get that sale, be friendly and personable. Talk about your own shoe woes if it's fitting. Make yourself a person that knows a lot about shoes and has plenty of experience that just so happens to be selling them, too. If you are friendly and open, they will likely trust you more – and return in the future. Customers need to be judged on their lifetime value, not the value of their current purchase. A high-roller that comes in spending $1,000 on one pair of shoes one time is less valuable than a lower-class customer that spends $50 on shoes once a month for the next few years. Keep this in mind when choosing which clients to gush over – it's not as obvious as it seems. When they're debating between which shoes to buy (or if to buy at all), keep throwing out the compliments (so long as they're believable, of course). If they're wearing fancy shoes, they are dressing to impress. Flatter them by saying, "I can tell that you are very classy," etc. If they're wearing Nikes, they are probably a casual or sporty kind of person. No matter what they are wearing, praise them. Let them know they should trust their buying choices.  Praise how the shoes look on, too. That is,...

Studies suggest that having goals (and people who support those goals) may help you be less likely to use drugs. This is likely because it encourages you to consider what you want out of your future and what you'll do to get yourself there. In contrast, using drugs is all about what feels "good" right now, regardless of the impact it makes on your future.  If you feel tempted to try drugs, even once, consider what it may do to your goals for the future. How likely are you to be able to achieve your goals if you're dependent on an expensive and/or illegal drug, or in jail or with a criminal record for using it? Setting goals can also help improve your self-confidence. When you feel confident in yourself and your ability to achieve what you set out to do, you're less likely to want to do drugs.  Setting and achieving goals is also crucial to getting off of drugs. This practice shows you that you can achieve what you set out to do, including kick your drug use. Strong relationships with your family and loved ones are a protective factor against drug use. In other words, having a strong relationship with your family and friends will make you less likely to give in to temptation. If you're feeling pressured or curious about drug use, don't keep it to yourself. Find someone you know, trust, and respect to talk to about it. Other people can offer you advice and support, which is very important for staying drug free. If you're consistently being pressured, even bullied, to try drugs, talk to someone in authority, such as a parent, teacher, or counselor. You don't have to face this pressure on your own. Getting support from others will help you stand strong against drugs. If you are tempted to use drugs because you want to feel good, keep your focus off of drugs by doing other things that are enjoyable and fun.   For example, take up a hobby, spend more time laughing with friends, play a fun video game, or help others out, to feel better instead. This will help you find new meaning in your life..

Ставьте «лайки» фотографиям других пользователей, чтобы они заметили вас и ставили «лайки» вашим фотографиям. Станьте фолловером как можно большего числа пользователей. Если вы новичок на Instagram, то самый простой способ увеличить количество ваших фолловеров – найти на Instagram людей, которых вы уже знаете в других социальных сетях (например, в Facebook). Будьте активными в Instagram сообществе. Если ничего не помогает, попросите ставить вам «лайки».

Becoming successful on Instagram is a give and take process: if you like others' photos, then these users are more likely to notice you and like yours. Think about what you do when you get a notification that someone has liked one of your photos — odds are that at least some of the time you'll head to that user's page and check out their photos. Making an effort to like others' photos increases the chances they'll do this to you in return. You can start by going to your followers' pages and liking your favorite photos among the most recent posts. However, you may not want to stop there — liking content from new users outside your list of followers is a great way to expand your Instagram visibility (plus, it can help you get new followers.) On Instagram, following someone else means getting more followers for yourself! The more people you follow (and interact with) on Instagram, the more people will have the chance to see and like your pictures. In addition, for profiles with restrictive privacy settings, you'll need to become a follower before you can start viewing photos, giving out likes, and making your presence known to the profile's other followers. You don't just have to follow people you already know — following random users whose content you like can help you expand your reach (and keep your personal feed fresh and interesting at the same time.) Try browsing through the top photos in the "Explore" tab (which you can get to by pressing the button at the bottom of the screen that looks a little like a compass) and start following people who take photos you are interested in. If you're just starting out on Instagram, one of the quickest ways to boost your follower count (and start getting likes) is to find people on Instagram you already know from your other social media sites (like, for instance, Facebook.) To do this, head to your profile tab (tap the button in the bottom right of the screen that looks like the outline of a person) and head to your settings menu by tapping the button in the top right....

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

This does not mean being unrealistic, or saying you're going to go professional within a year. Instead, you should take a look at what you are, and figure out where you think you would like to be. Give yourself a suitable amount of time to achieve that goal, and break it down into smaller parts if the goal is especially big.  For example, if you do want to go professional, take a look at what the requirements are, and work your way up to each one. You may have to go semi-pro first. Rather than focusing on the big picture, focus on the smaller one instead. For example, you could focus on your technique. Being good at sports means more than physical strength and speed. In order to be truly great, you need to apply that positive attitude to the way you treat other players, even if they're on the other team. If you lose a match, accept the loss and show respect to the other player for their victory.  If you set an example of good sportsmanship, you'll receive the same respect in turn when you win. Treat loss as a learning experience. Figure out what you did wrong, then try to improve it for the next game. No matter what you do, skills are often slow to build. If you're not patient, you will try to leap into more advanced techniques long before you're ready. Your motivation will sap away when you don't see improvement immediately. Keep the long-term goal in mind, and hang tight in the meantime while you make it a reality. Remember: there is always going to be someone who can do it better than you, at least at first. Impatient athletes tend to make poor ones. When you play sports, you will inevitably receive criticism. Whether from a coach, other players, or spectators, you need to take most of it with a grain of salt. Are they angry because you missed a pass, or do they sincerely want to help you improve? Learn to distinguish the constructive criticism from the hurtful remarks. In a lot of cases, you can use criticism as motivation to get better in whatever area they bring up.  Don't let yourself get defensive....

Waking up and falling back asleep can trigger the start of a whole new wave of sleep hormones. Don't rely on your selfish morning persona not to hit the snooze button. Move your alarm clock so you have to get out of bed to turn it off, the first time you hear it. Our brain expects us to get up in the early morning, bathed in bright, bluish light. If this is roughly the time you wake up, keep the curtains open so your body doesn't think it's night. Otherwise, consider purchasing a dawn-simulating alarm clock. This will gradually increase the light levels in the room before your alarm goes off, which helps you wake up alert and happy. "Full spectrum" fluorescent lights are a cheaper option, but do not mimic morning light all that well. It might still be worth replacing incandescent or regular fluorescent light bulbs in your bedroom, especially if you can set it to turn on about thirty minutes before you wake up. Drink a glass of water to rehydrate yourself after a dry night. . Not only will brushing your teeth keep them clean, the minty flavor in your mouth will wake you up. To make the most of this, brush your teeth for at least 2  minutes, floss, then rinse with mouthwash. You should start feeling a little bit more awake by now.  Chewing gum may keep you alert for similar reasons, plus the physical activity of keeping your jaws moving.  Mouthwash that contains alcohol may dry out your mouth, and potentially increases risk of cancer. Stick to alcohol-free mouthwash instead. . Washing the sleep out of your eyes and all the sweat off of your face will help refresh you and wake you up. If you tend to feel alert after a shower, make that part of your morning routine. . Exercising will get your blood flowing and loosen stiff muscles. There's no need to run a mile; one study found that low-intensity exercise actually made people more alert than a moderate workout, at least if they weren't used to a fitness routine already. Spend twenty minutes on a gentle walk or yoga, or fit in five minutes if you're pressed for...

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

This is your way of providing a roadmap for your students, It shows them that you’ve put thought into the day’s work and you know where it is heading. It’s best if the objectives are clear, brief, and realistic. As each objective is completed, remind your students of what they’ve accomplished together.  For example, in a high school literature class, an objective might be to complete a close reading of a particular poem by the end of the period. Some teachers find it helpful to post that day’s objectives on the board. It’s okay if not every objective is met every day. In some cases it's better to follow the flow of a particular conversation, instead of railroading back to the original subject matter. Ask them open-ended questions after they’ve made a statement. Encourage them to ask you questions as well. Show that you are listening to them by nodding your head or gesturing for them to continue. Give them eye contact while they are speaking and try your best not to interrupt, unless you must redirect the conversation.  Being an active listener shows your students that you respect their voice in the classroom. They will be more likely to give you respect as a teacher in return. It’s also a good idea to model for your students how to respectfully listen to someone while disagreeing with them. You might say, “I’m not sure I agree with what you are saying, can you tell me more? Or, does anyone else want to jump in?” Set time limits for classroom exercises or activities. In discussions, use your responses to their remarks as a classroom management tool. For example, you might say, “I really like what you are saying. How do you think it connects with objective number five?” Try to create an environment in which your students will be constantly intellectually challenged. Let them know that it is okay to fail on occasion. You want to strike a balance between setting too high of goals for them and being a push-over. Use your students’ progress to guide your way. They should be steadily improving, but not without...

Challenge your employees, allowing them to try new things that are beyond their current workload. Trust them to get the job done right. For example, allow junior employees to work on committees alongside senior employees.  If you don’t allow your staff to grow, they may seek other opportunities. Letting employees try new things can lead to innovation. You can also use it as a strategy to increase the number of people on your staff who are able to complete certain tasks. It’s normal for people to hit roadblocks, especially if you’re assigning tasks that stretch your employees. If an employee seems to have hit a barrier that they can’t cross, work with them to get the job done. Don’t take over for your employee. Instead, provide them with assistance, whether it’s from you or another employee who can mentor them. You can provide training sessions, guest speakers, or training videos. If you have the resources, you could even send your employees to a conference or seminar. Monitor your employees to see if they are struggling to meet their work demands, especially if you work in a rapidly changing industry. Delegating helps you get more work done and creates a well-trained workforce. Once a task has been assigned, trust that employee to complete it without you hovering over them.  For example, allow problems to work their way up a hierarchical chain before they reach you. This will empower your employees to make more of the day-to-day decisions. Stepping in to help an employee who truly needs direction is not the same as micromanaging. Good bosses remember that their employees aren’t just cogs in a machine. They have goals, too. Know what your employees are working toward, and help them get there by assigning tasks and trainings that best suit those goals while also supporting your organization. Invest in your employees, and they’ll invest in you. Supporting your employee’s goals can help you retain your best employees rather than see them walk away to another company.

You can practice building mental strength by setting meaningful goals and working to accomplish them, step by step. Getting from one step to the next requires applying yourself, working through boredom or pain, and sticking it out until you've made it. That's no easy feat, and the more you practice, the better you'll get at achieving your goals.  If you have big goals that seem unattainable, break them down into smaller doable steps. For example, if you want to work on becoming more assertive, you could set a goal to speak up for yourself three times per week. These instances could be as minor as telling your partner that you want to go to dinner at a specific restaurant, rather than deferring to your partner’s choice. Have a "stick with it" attitude. Decide that even if you have a setback, you're going to keep trying, whether the goal in question is keeping a job, finishing a project, managing your finances, and so on. See failures as learning opportunities. Failures are simply temporary setbacks full of lessons for us to learn. Negativity can come at you in different ways: it can be from within, in the form of negative thoughts and harmful self-talk, or from the outside, as negative feedback or abuse from other people. While it is beyond a person's control to ever fully remove negativity from her life, there are ways to manage it.  Manage negative thoughts by learning to identify and challenge them. Learn more by reading Deal with Negative Thoughts. While you may be able to minimize your contact with negative or toxic people — you may even be able to excise them from your life entirely — sometimes these people are family members, coworkers, or other people you must interact with. Instead of taking their negativity to heart, you can learn how to not engage and set boundaries with that person. This wikiHow article, How to Deal with Negative People, is a fantastic resource to teach you how to do this. Positive daily affirmations can help you develop your mental and emotional strength.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

It’s hard to be consistent if you don’t have a strong idea of what you need to do. When starting your new path, create easy, simple goals with specific, measurable results.  Start by defining what consistency means to you. Do you need to be consistent about your exercise habits? Are you aiming for a higher quality of work? Do you want to be more available and reliable in your relationships? Once you’ve identified your end goal, come up with smaller steps to reach it. For example, if you want to become more physically fit, you might set the goal to exercise for 5 days out of the week or to sign up for a class. Be specific. Instead of saying "I'm going to consistently appreciate my significant other," you might say "I'm going to thank my significant other when they wash the dishes, make dinner, or help out around the house." It can be easy to pile on tasks and promises, but a calendar, planner, or schedule will keep you on track. A schedule will help you plan your day so that you get everything done on time. It will also help you understand what commitments you do and do not have time for.  Use a paper planner or a desk calendar. Alternatively, download a scheduling app on your phone, like Google Calendar or Outlook. Block off realistic amounts of time for each task. If you’re uncertain how long a task will take, give yourself extra time to complete it. For larger goals, like writing a book or losing weight, set small, daily tasks that you can do to work towards this goal. For example, you might set a daily word count to achieve or plan specific meals to eat each day. Don’t forget to plan in breaks as well! Don’t schedule anything else for that day or time. Sometimes, it is easy to forget our new goals, habits, commitments, or promises, especially when we make them to ourselves. To remind yourself throughout the day, put messages to yourself in visible areas.  Write down your goals on post-it notes and place them on your mirror, computer, refrigerator, car dashboard, and planner. Slip a piece of paper with your...

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Especially when you like and/or reblog posts from smaller blogs with less traffic than large, popular blogs, the blog owners can see that you specifically enjoyed their content. Often, this will result in them following your blog out of courtesy. And it’s always nice to like/reblog the posts of others. Sending fan mail to people whose blogs you enjoy will both cheer them up and make you visible.  Be careful not to spam the same bloggers over and over again with mail. Sending aggressive or spammy messages will likely not get you more followers. Be kind and considerate. Following a variety of blogs, especially ones that fit your theme, is a great way to get other users to visit your page. Keep in mind that you can only follow 5000 blogs at a time. A tag is essentially a keyword that makes it easier for readers to find posts about a specific topic on Tumblr. Tagging your posts is essential in getting them listed on Tumblr, as failing to tag your posts means that the only way people can find them is by searching manually. Tags should be relevant.   To add a tag to a post, type a pound sign (#) followed by the keyword you want to use, into the "Tags" field below a post and press ↵ Enter, then repeat. When choosing tags, avoid picking words that are too specific. The more places in which your Tumblr address is visible, the more followers you'll have. Post your Tumblr's name and address on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, or any other social media accounts that you have. You may promote your Tumblr on your non-Tumblr blog as well or alternatively. You'll want to post between one and five times per day, seven days per week. Keep in mind that your content doesn't have to be huge each time you post; simply uploading something, be it a quote, a photo, or a short story, increases your blog's visibility. Avoid posting original content more than five times per day. These pages will promote your blog, usually in return for a follow. You can find them by typing "promo blogs" in Tumblr or Google search. These blogs already have...


Ставьте перед собой небольшие и достижимые цели. Не страшитесь неизвестного. Выберите то, что вы в состоянии улучшить. Помогайте другим людям.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

.  Often, people set unrealistic or unattainable goals, and either become overwhelmed with the challenge or never get started. This is a real damper for self-confidence.  Gradually adjust your small goals to make the larger goal achievable. Imagine you wish to run a marathon, but are worried you would not be able to achieve this goal. Do not go out and try to run 26 miles on the first day of training. Begin where you are. If you are not a runner at all, set a goal to run just 1 mile. If you can run 5 miles relatively easily, then begin with 6. For example, if you have a messy desk, perhaps it is too overwhelming to think about cleaning the entire desk. Begin by just removing the books and placing them back on the bookshelf. Even stacking the papers neatly to be sorted through later is movement toward the goal of cleaning your desk. People who lack self-confidence worry that they'll never succeed in an unpredictable situation. Well, it's time to stop doubting yourself and to try something completely new, unknown, and different. Whether you're traveling to a new country with friends or letting your cousin set you up on a date, making a habit of embracing the unknown can help you become more comfortable in your own skin and to feel like you're in control of your destiny — or, rather, that you're okay with not being in control. If you find that you're able to succeed even in a situation you didn't anticipate, then your confidence will go through the roof. Spend more time with people who are adventurous and spontaneous. You'll soon find yourself doing something unexpected and feeling better about yourself because of it. There may be some things that you don't like about yourself that you simply cannot change, such as your height or the texture of your hair. However, there are likely many things that you view as weaknesses that you can address with a bit of dedication and hard work.  Whether you want to work on being more social or being better in school, you can make a plan to succeed and begin to carry it out....

For example, tell yourself that if you pay attention for the next 15 minutes, you can have a few peanut M&Ms from the bag you’ve stashed in your backpack. For every additional 15 minutes, you get a couple more. Or, instead of M&Ms, you can allow yourself to check your phone briefly. You could also tell yourself that if you take good notes through the entire class, you can play your new video game for an hour when you get home. This can be a good motivator if you have trouble making it through the whole class, or if the class is pretty long. After all, if it’s a 3-hour class, you will probably get tired of eating M&Ms or checking your phone for updates. For example, before walking into Physics today, tell yourself that if you pay attention the entire time, you can grab your favorite mocha latte or hit the arcade right after class. For example, maybe you find French class excruciatingly boring. Hey, you’re not the first person to feel that way! Tell yourself that if you pay attention today, you’ll treat yourself to that cool new French film (sub-titled, of course!) you’ve been wanting to see downtown. Or you can treat yourself to a delicious croissant or éclair after class.  After paying attention in class and scarfing down an éclair, you'll probably be feeling pretty good. See? Maybe French isn’t so bad after all. Doing this helps you associate positive things with your class. In turn, this may encourage you to pay attention more. If you walk into class already dreading how boring it's going to be and telling yourself that paying attention is going to be impossible, you won't feel very motivated to stay on track. Instead, walk in telling yourself that you will succeed at paying attention in today's class. Set your mind to achieving your goal! For example, instead of thinking "Ugh, I hate this class! It's so boring," you could think: "Maybe I'll learn something interesting today." If you have a friend in the class, ask them to discreetly let you know when your mind has clearly wandered. They can tap you on the...


Ставьте перед собой разумные цели. Воспринимайте неудачу как возможность научиться. Улыбайтесь. Ориентируйтесь на окружающих. Смотрите на вещи в перспективе. Отслеживайте и исключайте негативный внутренний диалог.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Setting goals that are not achievable is a surefire way to reinforce a negative attitude about the world; that it is too difficult, that it is unfair, that the tide is always working against you, etc. Setting such improbable goals can also kill your motivation. Rather than setting goals such as "I'm going to get all As in school this semester", try setting goals such as "I'm going to try my best to do well in my classes"; or, instead of setting the goal of becoming a famous musician, you might set the goal of practicing music regularly. The idea that your talents and skills aren't fixed and unchangeable but that you can learn and grow from your mistakes is a great one to tap into. You can use the power of that idea to become more skilled and talented and positive in your life.  By seeing failures as opportunities to learn and grow, you will be less likely to become pessimistic in the face of any defeats that come your way. For example, if you perform badly on a paper at school, rather than beating yourself up about it and calling yourself dumb, you might tell yourself "I really didn't do as well as I wanted to on this paper but I can talk to my teacher and find out how to improve my work for next time." If you are having trouble adopting a more positive attitude toward life and yourself, try putting on your happy face. Force yourself to smile for a few minutes each day while you reflect on life and yourself. Studies show that there is a bi-directional relationship between the facial muscles and one's emotional state: while we generally feel happy and then smile, we can also smile and then feel happy. If you want help smiling, try sticking a pencil between your teeth so that the eraser is towards one corner of your mouth and the tip is toward the other corner; holding a pencil between your teeth in this way will cause you to smile. We are great at learning from those around us.  So, become inspired by the actions of people around you, what they've done, by their biographies or simply the life stories of the...

With weight loss or weight gain, it's helpful to set reasonable and realistic goals.  With weight gain, you'll want to aim for a gain of about a half to one pound each week.  That means in a two month time span you could gain anywhere from 5-10 pounds. You may also want to set smaller, more frequent goals along the way to let you know how well you're progress is going.  For example if you want to gain 1 pound per week, but you're only gaining a 1/2 pound per week, you can readjust your meal plan and calorie goal to help you increase your weight gain. If you need to gain more weight than that you'll most likely need to readjust your goal timeline to allow for further weight gain. Food journals will be very helpful when you're trying to gain weight.  They will serve as a guide when planning your goals and if you need to make any changes.  Track all the foods you eat each day.  Include all meals, snacks and beverages in one day. Try to be as accurate as you can.  You may need to use a food scale or measuring cups to help keep you on track. Also keep track of your total caloric intake each day.  This will help you if you need to make changes to your calorie level. Keeping track of how much weight you've gained will be incredibly important.  If you don't keep track it'll be difficult to tell how much you've gained and if you've met your goal.  Get on the scale about 1-2 times per week.  Weight gain happens more slowly than weight loss, so more frequent weighing will not be useful. For the most accurate weight, try to get on the scale the same day of the week and at the same time. Keep track of your weight and progress in your food journal.

and reward yourself for meeting them. Usually, health professionals recommend a rate of 1–2 lb (0.45–0.91 kg) per week. This rate of weight loss requires cutting 500 to 1,000 calories per day. If you find that after a week or so of trying to lose 3 lb (1.4 kg) per week you’re struggling to meet your goals, consider switching to 2 lb (0.91 kg). This will be a slightly easier goal to achieve, and hitting your goals will help you to stay motivated.  You can also set up a reward system to help keep yourself motivated. For example, you might promise yourself a small treat for each week that you hit your goal, such as getting a manicure, buying a new shirt, or going to the beach. It can be hard to stay motivated if you don’t have anyone to share in your successes and challenges. Try telling at least one trusted friend or family member about our weight loss goal, and let them know how they can support you. This might be as simple as asking them not to offer you anything that’s not diet-friendly or to give you a call or text you once per week to get an update. If you don’t have any family or friends who you’re comfortable talk with about our weight loss, look into a local support group or an online weight loss forum. Practicing good self-care is another important part of maintaining a long-term weight loss program. If you’re hoping to lose 3 lb (1.4 kg) every week, you’ll need to maintain a positive mindset and ensure that you’re at your best. This will help you to stay on target with your eating and exercise targets and meet your weight loss goal each week. Some ways you can take care of yourself include:   Getting 7 to 9 hours of sleep every night Making time to do things you enjoy Reducing stress with relaxation techniques


Ставьте перед собой реальные цели и добивайтесь их достижения. Подумайте, нет ли какого-то иного пути, который позволит вам осуществить заветную мечту. Научитесь справляться со стрессом. Если вы все время делаете одно и то же, странно ожидать различных результатов. Никому не позволяйте понижать вашу самооценку. Взгляните на жизнь в перспективе. Присоединитесь к людям, которые стремятся к той же цели, что и вы.

Another way to stay strong is to make sure that you’re setting reasonable goals that you can achieve. Of course, it’s great to aim for the moon so you fall among the stars if you fail, and so on, but the reality is, you should create small goals that build up to your ultimate goals, so that you feel proud of what you’re accomplishing along the way. Making your life feel more manageable will drive you to not give up.  For example, if your goal is to publish a novel, then yeah, you’re bound to be disappointed for all of the years that you can’t do it, because you’re going to make yourself feel like a failure. However, if you set smaller goals, like publishing a short story in a small journal, and then publishing a short story in a more established journal, and then writing a draft of a novel, and so on, then you’ll be much more capable of achieving these little goals along the way and will feel more confident moving forward. Okay, so nobody wants to hear it, but sometimes, you may want to sit back and think about whether or not you’re just torturing yourself by setting ridiculously hard goals for yourself. Sure, you may want to be a Broadway actress; while this is a dream come true, you may also find a way to do what you love and inspire others in other ways, such as being a Drama teacher, landing smaller acting gigs, or even starting a blog about your attempts to enter the arts.  You shouldn’t think of this as a way of lowering your expectations, but as a way to make it easier for you to enjoy your life. You don’t want to spend your whole life feeling like a loser because you never rose to fame, do you? That kind of feeling will leave you feeling unsatisfied with all you have achieved. Another way to stay strong in the face of failure is to learn how to cope with all of the stress you may be feeling from wanting to give up. Whether you simply can’t find a job that gives you the health benefits you so badly need, or you can’t deal with juggling a family and trying to write a screenplay, you need to find a way...


Ставьте перед собой сложные задачи. Следуйте миссии компании. Продолжайте свое обучение. Будьте готовы работать сверхурочно и при необходимости оставайтесь в офисе после окончания рабочего дня. Умейте мотивировать себя сами и работать самостоятельно.

Never get complacent when it comes to your job. You can always work smarter, faster, harder, and be more proficient in your position. Take on new projects that challenge your areas of expertise; propose new ideas to make the company thrive even if it’ll take a lot of work to carry them out. Minimize the routine tasks and opt for as many challenging and more complicated tasks as possible.  Challenging yourself to be better at your job every single day will not only make you more likely to keep your job, but it will also make your work much more fun! You’ll be much less likely to enjoy your work if you feel like you’re just doing the same task over and over without learning a thing. If you don’t challenge yourself, your boss will think that you’re bored or uninspired by your job. Always be willing to take the initiative. If you’ve wrapped up your project three hours early, ask what else you can do instead of leaving the office. Whether the mission is to help underprivileged youth or to make parenting as stress-free as possible, you have to know your company’s mission and remind yourself of why it is important as you go about your daily tasks. This will show your boss that you really do care about the larger goals of the company and that you’re not just out for yourself. Committing to your company’s mission puts you in a win-win situation; not only will it make you look better in front of your boss, but it will make your work more meaningful. If you truly believe in the mission of the company, then you will feel excited about carrying it out. If you really want to keep improving at your career, then you should continue to learn as much as you can about the work that you do. Whether you take night classes, begin an extra certification program, ask a more senior employee to train you to use a complicated system, or just read all of the latest journals, articles, and literature about your field, it’s important to stay current while also learning as much as you can about your area of expertise.  You don’t need to...

When you feel it's time, reassess your fitness level. If you've already met your weight-loss goal, you can decide if you want to lose more weight, or start thinking about muscle definition instead. If your goal was to bench press 250 pounds (110 kg), keep working and set a new goal of benching 275 pounds (125 kg).  Your expanded goals don't have to be limited to the gym. Have you been hiking that one trail without fail and with ease since you started? Time for the harder one. Or, lengthen the amount of time you work out. Instead of working out twice a week for 20 minutes, start working out 4 times a week for 30 minutes. As another alternative, if you’re happy with the way your body looks and the amount of muscle tone you’ve gained, you can set a new goal to maintain your current strength and appearance. Maybe your workout routine includes various activities, such as walking, bicycling or rowing. If you crave more variety, don't stop there. Take a weekend hike with your family or spend an evening ballroom dancing.  As you explore activities, you'll most likely find something that tickles your fancy. When you do, latch onto it. Was swing dancing surprisingly enjoyable? Great! That's one more hour each week you'll stay moving. If you've been running that same 5k five days a week, take it outside. Find a new trail, start running at night, or start for a 7k. If that's not enough, pick up a new activity entirely. A yoga fan? Try Pilates. Always wanted to try kickboxing? Go for it. As you progress, you'll find that your routine is just too easy. It may be tempting to be content with that, but push yourself. For example, it’s smart to start exercising with 2 workouts per week. After 6 months at this rate, add a third exercise sessions per week. Then, in another month, add a fourth and fifth. You can also alternate different types of workouts. For example, hit the gym on Tuesday and Thursday, and run a couple miles on Monday and Wednesday.

It's hard to stick to just about anything if we don't have something to work toward. Whether it's your job, a diet, or a new habit you're trying to develop (or an old habit you're trying to kick), goals can help keep you on the right track. Here are a couple of examples:  Time how many steps you take in one minute. Do this three times a day (any more and you might wear yourself out) and watch your numbers slowly climb up. Match pace to the fastest songs on your playlist, back to back. Use markers to walk quickly towards. See that bench up there? You're going to power walk all the way to it, resisting the urge to slow down. Walks, especially for fitness or weight loss purposes, can feel more effective if you're monitoring your progress and heart rate. A pedometer can show you how many steps you've taken. Believe it or not, it's recommended we each walk 12,000 to 15,000 steps a day.  As for your heart rate, it depends on your level of physical fitness and your age. There are many charts available online; what's your training heart rate?  Increase your workout time 10% each week. If you're walking 30 minutes 4 days a week (a good place to start), move to 33 minutes each session. This is a healthy percentage that won't leave you injured or fatigued. If you don't have a way to electronically measure your progress (like through an app on your phone) and you're not on a track where the laps measure your distance and you can time yourself, start counting your steps. How many can you do in 20 seconds? Then multiply by 3. If you're speeding along at at least 120 steps per minute (40 steps in 20 seconds, or 2 steps a second), that's 3 mph, which is the minimum pace for what's considered fitness walking. However, ideally, you'll be around 4 to 4.5 mph. The faster you go, the more health benefits you'll reap. To get even more out of your walks, stop every 5 or 10 minutes or so to do a few push-ups or some lunges. The extra burst of a work out is akin to interval training, surprising your body, using more muscle groups,...

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

. If you want to make your life matter, you need to focus on meaningful accomplishments. Set goals for yourself, based on your passions and wants, and work towards these goals.  Set specific goals that push you towards meaningful pursuits. For example, don't set a goal like, "I'm going to protect the environment." Focus on the specifics on how you might do this. For example, "I'm going to use my bike more and recycle cans and bottles."  It's important that you set goals you can reasonably accomplish. Say animal rights are important to you. A goal could be, "Get my school's cafeteria to switch to cage-free meat and eggs." While this a big goal, there are ways you can go about doing this. You can make a petition, talk to your teachers or professors, raise public awareness by handing out flyers, and so on. Repeat your goals to yourself when you get discouraged. Read your lists of personal goals each morning if you're having an off week. This can help you remind yourself why your goals are important and push you to work harder. Compassion is key to leading a meaningful life. If you want to influence those around you in a meaningful way, try to develop a sense of empathy for others.  Pay attention to the body language of those around you. This can give you insight into their emotions. Watch people's facial expression and how they carry themselves. Someone who's slumped over and frowning, for example, might be angry or sad.  Listen to people when they talk. It can be helpful to repeat what a person says in your own words when he or she finishes talking. This can assure that you're completely understanding these person's emotions. Ask people how they feel or how they're doing and make an effort to genuinely listen to their answer.  Read books and watch movies that deal with human emotion. Look for realistic stories that explore the feelings and emotions of characters. This can help you better understand those around you.  Be kind throughout the day. If you hear someone gossiping about another person, do not engage....

How can setting goals make reading more fun, you may ask? Well, because you'll feel good about yourself if you accomplish something, that's why. Start small: say, you want to read one book a month. Then go down to a book every two weeks. When you're officially addicted to reading, you can read one book a week -- or even two. Make a list of books and stick to them and you'll be reading more and more in no time at all. Setting goals will also keep you from wasting your time in less productive endeavors. Let's say you've aimed to finish Ulysses by the weekend but there's a marathon of Bad Girls Club on. Bye bye bad girls, hello culture. The Modern Library, Amazon, Time Magazine, and the New York Times have some great top 100 lists that can make you feel even more accomplished for reading. You'll feel extremely well-read and good about yourself if you find yourself going down a list and crossing off every book you've read. Check out these lists for more reference:  The Modern Library Top 100 Modern Books list.  Time Magazine's Best Book of All Time list.  The Guardian's Top 100 Books of All Time list.  Read books by Nobel-prize winning authors. Check out the list of authors here:  The Village Voice's list of best books of the previous decade, by genre. Open an account at Audible.com or start listening to books you've rented from your local library. Listening to audiobooks is a great way to be well-read when you're too tired to pick up a book and read. You can also listen to the books in the car, which is perfect for a long commute, or on your iPod while you're taking a walk. Suddenly you'll be looking forward to that long drive to work instead of dreading it! Before you buy or rent the book, see if you can listen to a sample to make sure you like the voice of the person who is reading. If you think the person has an annoying voice, the book will feel like a slow read. Though a Kindle can cost over $100, you'll quickly save money when you start buying books at the discount rate it offers. You can buy many classic...

Books are enjoyable, but actively reading takes a bit more motivation than watching TV or playing video games. Some people find it helpfully motivating to set goals for themselves. For instance, if you're not reading as much as you'd like, you can write something down along the lines of "I will read three books this month."  Make sure the goal is realistic, and account for the fact that some books will take you much longer to read than others. Goodreads has an annual reading goal feature free for use by all accounts. If you sign up with an account, you can set a chosen book goal at the start of the year and see how you've done by the end of it. Some book journal keepers prefer to wait until the end of a book to make their entry. Others find it enriches the experience of reading to be actively writing down notes as you go along. If you have a note journal at your side while you're reading, it may motivate you to have a stronger attention to detail. This is a very important part detail if you've been out of school for a while and find you've been losing your touch as a critical reader in the time since. A longer-form journal entry can feel like a bit of a chore before you get into it. Some journal keepers make the mistake of procrastinating their entries until days or weeks after they've read the book. This defeats the purpose of keeping a book journal. You want your reflections to be as fresh as possible. Otherwise, you're not writing about the book itself so much as your memory of the book. A book journal is a long-term commitment. Although you're encouraged to bring it along with you when you go on trips, accidentally losing your book journal could feel catastrophic depending on how much time and work you've invested in it. Make a habit of storing it in the same place when you're between books. Even if you don't publish your entries on a public blog, recording a second copy of your entries can be insurance against losing them permanently. If you're keeping track of your reading with a physical journal, you...

Your body can only take so much exercise before it breaks down. As such, it is important not to set workout regimens that are far beyond your body’s physical capabilities. Also, keep in mind that changing your lifestyle in minor ways (walking or biking instead of driving, taking the stairs instead of the elevator, etc.) can increase the amount of physical exercise you get throughout the day, making intensive workout sessions less necessary. Setting goals that are too steep can create a negative environment and cause you to give up. Try setting smaller goals, week-by-week, instead of big goals that seem unobtainable. It is important to know what your body is capable of with regards to exercise. If you have bad knees, avoid running or jogging on hard surfaces. If you have a heart condition or other ailment, be sure to check with a medical professional about workout regimens that will be safe for you. Make sure you prepare your body for the workout ahead by stretching your muscles prior to exercising. This will help you avoid injuries. Stretching afterward will help prevent soreness. Be aware that injuries while working out essentially put your weight loss plans on hold. A pulled muscle or torn tendon will stop you from working out for weeks or months at a time and you will gain all the weight you lost right back. While a “low-impact” workout might sound detrimental to losing weight quickly, this simply means avoid unnecessary strain on your joints and muscles during workouts. Walking and jogging are effective and proven alternatives to running. Various machines, such as ellipticals, stair-climbers, and rowing machines, will ensure your body is not taking on unnecessary strain during cardio workouts. In addition to running, jogging, swimming or walking, simple exercises like arm circles, up down planks, squats, leg lifts,plie squat rises,bench dips, kicks, duck walks, lunges, and other exercises can all be useful techniques to help you lose weight. Make sure you keep track of your pulse, breathing, and heart...

. Once you have clarified the areas that require improvement, focus on goal-setting. Grab a pen and notebook. Head each piece of paper with a specific goal -  personal and professional. Then, write down several action steps you must take to reach the goal. Finally, set a feasible deadline that is attainable but still challenges you. For example, you may have a goal to pay down debt. This goal may incorporate several strategies, such as paying more than the minimum monthly payment towards debt, refraining from creating any new debt, and negotiating lower interest rates on credit cards or revolving accounts. Bad habits prevent us from fully reaching our potential. Some of them are more serious, such as drinking or smoking. Others are just bothersome to, like procrastinating or making weird noises. The best way to break a bad habit is to replace it with a more healthier, adaptive alternative.  Think about some of your bad habits. When do you engage in them? What triggers the habit? What purpose do they serve? For example, you may have the habit of procrastinating, but only when you feel overwhelmed or stressed. You feel bogged down by everything, so you put it all off and do nothing. You can replace this bad habit with healthier stress management strategies such as learning to  manage time better, or  relieving stress through exercise or meditation. You don't have to wait until you reach goals or break bad habits to move closer to being your ideal self. Whether you want to get a promotion at work or gain membership into an elite organization, learn to look and act the role you desire to play. Looking and acting the part can translate to dressing like the people who already have the position you want to obtain. You may also strive to  maintain a more professional demeanor in your interactions with others. On an ongoing basis, you should take a step back and examine your progress towards reaching your goals and building better habits. If you are not satisfied with the changes you have made, go back to the drawing...

Before you fight, think about why your sister may be in a bad mood. Ask yourself what you may have done to upset your brother. Maybe their frustrations are unrelated, or maybe you did something to upset them but don't realize it. Understanding how your sibling feels will help prevent an argument from happening. Start a conversation so they understand why you are upset. Always talk nicely and calmly rather than raising your voice. Listen closely to what your sibling has to say. Make sure you let your sibling talk to you about their feelings too.  If your sister says something to you, pay attention to her, rather than the TV or your cell phone. This will make your sister feel like you care. Avoid bringing up things you know will start a fight, like your brother's report card grades, or your sister's dumb new boyfriend. Show your brother or sister you love them then after you talk about what is upsetting you, come up with a plan so that you can reduce the number of fights you have. Brainstorm a few healthy solutions, and decide upon a few options with your sibling.  Maybe your system is taking turns choosing the TV show. Perhaps it works best for you to write out what you agree upon in a contract. If you want to use the bathroom to get ready for school, ask your brother if he could shower at night instead of in the morning. If he doesn't agree, maybe try showering at night yourself or try waking up 15 minutes earlier. Calm yourself down by taking a few deep breaths or counting to 10. This will help you keep your cool. When you start to get defensive, most likely your sibling will too. Take a time-out, relax for a bit, and then come back to the conversation.   Pause for 5 seconds or 5 minutes--however long you need. If it helps, designate a cool off period and give each other space. Pause your conversation, and give each other some space. Work out your emotions individually rather than taking them out on each other. If you are having trouble relaxing, try listening to music or taking a walk. This will distract...

Goal-setting is a bit of an art, and setting goals well can go a long way to helping ensure that you do, in fact, achieve your goals.  There is a helpful acronym that you can use to assess the efficacy of your goals.  You should check to see that your goals are SMART:  Specific (or significant) Measurable (or meaningful) Achievable (or action-oriented) Relevant (or results-oriented) Time-bound (or trackable) This means that your goals are narrow and detailed.  Having goals that are overly broad can make it difficult to establish a plan of action to achieve the goal.  Specificity in the plan is more likely to lead to success.  For example, “be successful” is too vague.  Success is not a specific attribute, and may be defined differently by different people. A more specific goal could be, “graduate with a Master's degree in Social Work from my State University.”  This goal is far more specific. You should be able to tell when a goal has been achieved.  If you can't tell whether you're “there” or not, then your goal was not measurable.  For example, “be successful” is not measurable.  You won't know when you're officially “successful,” and your idea of what that means may change on a daily (or even hourly) basis. On the other hand, “graduate with a Master's degree in Social Work from my State University” is measurable; you'll know you have reached that goal at your graduation ceremony or when you receive your diploma in the mail. A goal that is achievable may vary from person to person.  Whether a goal is achievable is based on a wide variety of factors, some of which you may not have control over.  One way to determine whether a goal is achievable is by asking yourself whether you have the knowledge, skills, and abilities to reach the goal.  You may also need to evaluate whether the goal is possible.  For example, a goal that may not be achievable would be to become the smartest/richest/most powerful person in the world. A more achievable goal would be to receive a college degree.  For some, a more achievable...
