Article: A captain of a boat lost his way in the middle of a storm. While trying to control the ship and avoid sinking, he started feeling annoyed. The water became bigger; the noise of the water hitting the boat, like a feather carried by the wind, almost led him to hopelessness. But he did not give up and tried harder every time the waves hit the boat. In his desperate attempts to stay strong and keep the boat steady, he was unable to hear one of his crew officers yelling at him. "Captain, Captain!" kept yelling the officer. He held on to one of the deck's bars in order not to fall off the boat, "Captain, Captain!" insisted the officer. This time, while the officer was trying to approach him, a huge wave almost made the boat turn over and he fell and rolled on the deck till he luckily found another bar to hold on to. After several attempts, the officer finally was able to reach his fighting and tired captain, who had started to yell out his frustration and thoughts to the angry waves. "If I am a good and hard-working man, why does this happen to me? And why can't I get out of this one? I have been sailing the open ocean for years to fish the best catch and get support for my family!! Why, why, why?!!!" At that moment, his crew officer was able to catch the captain's shoulder and make him turn so that the captain could hear him. "Captain, Captain!" yelled again the officer. The captain looked at him angrily because the officer distracted him from his difficult task. "What do you need, officer? Don't you see I am trying to control the ship and find our way back?" complained the captain. His officer kept holding on to the captain and pointed at the opposite direction, towards the stern . "Captain!" he replied. "The lighthouse is right over there, on the other side. We are going in the wrong direction!!" Question: According to the officer, what was the problem with the boat? Yes or no, is the answer "It was not going in the right direction."?
Yes

Article: It was a dark, wet November morning. It seemed like it would take a million years to get to summer again. I thought bears have got it right---- what a perfect idea to sleep through the worst part of the year and wake up when spring comes! "Want some words of affirmation ?" a coworker, seeing my mood, kindly suggested. "You don't think they would cheer you up?" "Today? No." I shook my head. "I used to think so too," he said, "until I realized the effect my words had on a certain person. Well, it was someone I knew pretty well. I have to say I treated him rather badly." "You? But you are always so positive! How did you treat him badly?" "I told him I did not like anything about him, really. I told him I did not even like his name. In fact, it wasn't only what I said. I also did pretty bad things to him. When he was hungry, I did not give him the chance to eat proper food. When he felt like doing something fun, I said to him that he was being childish and having fun was not productive . And worst of all, when he was sick and needed care, I did not care. I told him to get up and get to work. And when he did, I never told him he did good work. You could say I was ashamed of him," he said. "I wanted to get rid of him because he just wasn't good enough for me---but couldn't." "But that was heartless!" He nodded. "Then one day it all changed. I stood there in front of the bathroom mirror one morning. I saw the dark circles under his eyes, I saw the excess weight. I saw the hair that needed cutting. And I saw the eyes that once had looked at the world eagerly. Now they were so sad and tired. And there and then I realized he deserved better. So I told the man I had disliked for so many years that he was a good person after all." My jaw dropped. I looked at him---full of positive energy, in good shape, always ready to encourage others. "Wow..." He winked at me. "So how about having a little positive conversation with the bathroom mirror? The person in there has the greatest effect on you!"
