Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Pay attention to what matters most. Experience things rather than make excuses. Find time for your passions. Revel in joyfulness. Learn to be grateful.

Answer: Like most people, you probably feel the drive to make more money, get more things, and look better. However, extraordinary people realize that these things don't matter as much as learning to focus on the things that make you truly happy. For instance, being in a relationship with people you love and trust is important, and that doesn't have to be sexual. Friendships can be just as important as having a lifetime partner. You just need to be with people that you trust enough to be emotionally vulnerable with. This step also means valuing experiences over things. Things just fill up your house, while experiences make you feel alive and invigorated. Part of what makes life enjoyable is the experiences you have, from eating a fabulous dinner to watching a sunrise to taking a painting class. When life gets busy, you're likely to find excuses not to have new experiences, as everyone does. But making sure you take the time to get out and try new things is integral to making you an extraordinary person. Think of it this way. When you think of extraordinary people, do you think of someone who sits at home every night? No, extraordinary people have extraordinary and interesting experiences. Start making plans. Decide you're going to try at least one new thing a week, and stick to it. Making plans with other people can help you stick to it. Also, don't be afraid to be spontaneous. Feel like going to the beach? Take a mental health day from work and take that three hour drive down to the beach. Sure, you'll be tired at the end of the day, but you'll also feel exhilarated and more alive. Just like the experiences you have, your passions help make your life fuller and you a more interesting person. Following your passions helps engage your curiosity and keep your spark of life alive. Maybe you've lost touch with your love of painting, but it used to make you happy. Try picking it up again. Join a club in your area, or find a class at your local community college. If you're not sure what you're really passionate about, start exploring interests. Check out books from the library on hobbies and ideas that catch your attention, or start taking community college classes that catch your interest. If you hear about an event that piques your interest, go to it to see what it's about. Sometimes, when that moment of pure joy comes around, you may find yourself not giving into it. You're holding back a bit because you're afraid of when the next bad thing is going to hit. However, learning to really dig down into joyfulness can make you a more joyful person overall, and in turn, a more extraordinary person, as few people are able to live joyfully. The next time you find yourself in a happy situation, take some time to be in the moment. Let yourself fill up with the emotion. Take in the joy on the faces of people around you. Savor the sensations of the food you're eating or the feeling of sand and water between your toes. Gratitude is sometimes hard when life throws curve balls at you left and right. Nonetheless, being grateful is another way to learn how to live an extraordinary life because it helps you appreciate what you have and what's most important to you, a rare quality. One way you can learn gratitude is to take time each day to think or write about things you are grateful for. You could write down 3 things each day in a journal that you are thankful for or even post 3 things you are grateful for on social media every day for your friends to see. You could also just take time each night to think about the things you are grateful for in your life. Express your gratitude. When you're thankful for a person or what they've done, tell that person. Writing a note is even better, because it makes you take time to really feel that gratitude. Plus, it lets the other person know they are appreciated.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Recognize when they need help. Ask if they want help. Respect introversion.

Answer: Sometimes self-isolation can be a sign of a bigger problem. They may be trying to cope with abuse or trauma, alcohol and drug abuse, or mental health issues, such as depression. Your friend may not even realize that their problems are causing them to isolate themselves. Recognize when your friend's isolation isn't just them being shy or introverted so that you can support them in getting the help they need. Look for other signs that there may be a problem. For example, mood swings, changes in appetite or sleep habits, nervousness, and agitation may all be signs of a mental health or substance abuse problem. Consider whether you have noticed these changes over time or if they happened suddenly. The onset of your friend's symptoms can help you to understand it better. Ask other people close to your friend if they have any concerns. You might say, for instance, "Have you noticed anything that worries you about Daniel?" In some cases, your friend might not be self-isolating. You may not want to accept it, but your friendship might be fading. Your friend might also be voluntarily separating from society. One direct way to determine if your friend wants or needs help with their self-isolation is to ask them. You might, for example, ask your friend if they feel lonely. You might say, "Do you feel lonely or isolated very often?" Or, you could say, "Sometimes it seems like you're isolating yourself. Is this on purpose or is there something I can help with?" Some people aren't as social as other people by choice. They may prefer, and even thrive off of time alone. If your friend is an introvert, you may not need to help them at all. Unless they show other signs of a problem, respect that they enjoy time alone and appreciate and make the most of the time you spend together. Make an effort to spend time with your friend, but if they make it clear that they want or need some alone time, then respect that.

Your players will look to you for guidance, so set a good example by being honest and answering questions. Creating a team chant or credo together is an excellent way to build rapport quickly on your first day. If you're coaching elementary school students, try to lay off of the complicated full-court plays. If you're in charge of experienced older players, they may appreciate a higher level of intensity or complexity. You should also think of their goals while you coach; younger players might mainly want to have fun, whereas older players often want to play to win. Manage your expectations and goals based on the players in front of you by paying close attention to what they're capable of. If they tend to be slow to adopt changes, it's likely that you're asking too much of your players. People respect and respond to consistency. This is especially important if you're in charge. Giving consistent direction and being fair when you're working with players is essential to being a productive leader. Don't let certain players skip out on drills or practice time, and track how often players do something well so that you can reward them. Keep your clipboard close during practice time.

Every player wants to do their best. If you can't think of something to compliment, consider mentioning how hard you see them working. Coaching is a two-way street. Ask your players how they feel, and try to encourage mutual understanding. Simple questions like, "How can I help you improve?" can go a long way. what to do instead of just talking about it. Be as active as your players are. Rather than explaining something verbally, demonstrate how a player should move by running through the play yourself. You can be your own best teaching tool. Many players learn visually, and seeing their coach move through a motion or show how to do something can be incredibly helpful for these players. You're probably going to be talking to your players a lot over the course of a game or practice session, so make sure everyone can hear you, especially when the action takes place on the far end of the court.
