Ask about her likes and dislikes and find out what you have in common. Actively listen to her when she talks about her passions to show that you're sincerely interested in getting to know her. When you talk in person, hold eye contact and make gestures to show you're actively listening, like nodding your head or saying "Uh-huh." Be sure to give her your full attention when you're having a conversation with her. Don't play on your phone or text other people while she's talking! It's great if you like the same music or share a hobby, but keep in mind you don't need to enjoy everything she likes. Be yourself instead of saying you like something just because she's into it. Share what you have in common and respect your differences. Inside jokes develop naturally, so try to be patient. When something makes you both crack up, take a mental note of it. Bring it up every now and then when you see her and have a good laugh together. Sharing jokes and laughing together can help you strengthen your connection. Keep in mind you don't want to play an inside joke out so much that it becomes stale. If a silly word or catch phrase makes you both laugh, you don't need to bring it up every other minute. You could take a stroll in the park together or go for a bike ride. If you have dogs, ask her if she'd like to walk them together. In addition to hanging out one-on-one, you could also hang out with friends, which can help you spend time together without putting too much pressure on yourselves. When you first start hanging out, you might be nervous or feel awkward. Low-pressure situations and going out together with friends can help you get more comfortable being around each other. Other good date options include fun, exciting activities that you both enjoy. You could, for example, go skating, play arcade or video games, or go to an amusement park. If she's sad or angry, let her vent her feelings. Give her advice if she wants to hear it; if she just needs to blow off steam, lend her your ear. In addition to having fun together, offering each other emotional support is important for any relationship. This helps a connection grow from simple attraction to deep, loving affection.

Summary: Learn more about her interests. Come up with inside jokes. Hang out in low-stakes, low-pressure situations. Offer your support if she's having a rough day.

. The hardest journey is often the one that requires looking inside yourself and being honest about what you find. try to work out what beliefs, opinions, and biases you harbor. Unless you're willing to know yourself well and learn to love both the strengths and weaknesses within you, it is difficult to be wise. Knowing yourself provides the space in which you can grow and forgive yourself as you journey through life. Be wary of any self-improvement advice that claims to have "secrets". The only "secret" to self-improvement is that it requires hard work and constancy. Beyond that, you can fiddle at the edges (attested to remarkably by the massive success of the self-help industry) but you cannot change the reality of having to do the work of personal introspection and reflection on the world yourself. The wisest of people have long been those who realize they actually know very little, often in spite of decades of learning and reflecting. The more you think about people, things, and events, the more it becomes clear that there is always more to know and that what you do know is but a pinhead amid all knowledge. Acceptance of the limitations of your own knowledge is a key to wisdom. Don't confuse expertise with wisdom. Expertise refers to a high level of knowledge in a distinct field, whereas wisdom refers to the broader notion seeing the big picture of that knowledge, and to live calmly reassured of your decisions and actions in light of your knowledge. for yourself. Only you can know who you are and only you can be responsible for your ultimate choices. If you've spent years doing what was right according to someone else's standards rather than your own, you're not being responsible for yourself. Change the job where nobody recognizes your talents and find one where people will discover the tiger within. Move somewhere you're comfortable. Find a way to earn a living that doesn't compromise your compassion, care, and interests. Self-responsibility, including learning to accept the consequences of making your own decisions, increases wisdom. . For many people, a sense of meaning in life is "created" from being overly busy and by complicating everything from work to love. Complexity can make a person feel important and wanted but it is not wisdom. Rather, it's a form of distraction from oneself and from dealing with issues in life that really do matter, like questioning what your purpose is and what life is all about. Complication rules out reflection and leaves you vulnerable to the mysticism of expertise, causing you to make things harder than they need to be. Keep it simple and wisdom will flourish. As you grow wiser in a topic, it should become more simple for you to understand. If something still seems complex to you, you may not understand the basic building blocks of the subject.

Summary: Learn to recognize your faults Accept that you can't know everything. Be responsible Uncomplicate your life

Adding a negative integer is the same as subtracting a positive one. This is easier to see by testing this out with the number line method described in another section, but you can think about it in words too. A negative number is not a normal quantity; it is less than zero, and can represent an amount being taken away. If you add this "taking away" to a normal number, you'll end up making it smaller. Example: 10 + -3 = 10 - 3 = 7 Example: -12 + 18 = 18 + -12 = 18 12 = 6. Remember that you can always switch the order of numbers in an addition problem, but not in a subtraction problem. Sometimes turning your addition problem into a subtraction problem as described above can end up with odd results like 4 7. When this happens, reverse the order of the numbers and make your answer negative. Say you begin with 4 + -7. Turn this into a subtraction problem: 4 - 7 Reverse the order and make it negative: -(7 4) = -(3) = -3. If you aren't used to parentheses in your equations yet, think of it like this: 4 - 7 turns into 7 - 4 with a minus sign added. 7 - 4 = 3 but I should make it -3 for the right answer to the problem 4 - 7. Two negative numbers added together will always make a number more negative. There is nothing positive being added, so you'll always end up with something further from 0. Finding the answer is simple: -3 + -6 = -9 -15 + -5 = -20 Do you see the pattern? All you need to do is add the numbers as though they were positive and add a negative sign. -4 + -3 = -(4 + 3) = -7 Just like the addition problems, you can rewrite these so you only have to deal with positive numbers. If you're subtracting a negative number, you're "taking away" some "stuff taken away", which is the same as adding a positive number. Think of the negative number as stolen money. If you "subtract", or take away, some stolen money so you can return it, that's the same as giving that person money, right? Example: 10 -5 = 10 + 5 = 15 Example: -1 -2 = -1 + 2. You already learned how to solve this problem in an early step, remember? Reread Learn how to add a negative and a positive number if you don't remember. Here's the full solution to the last example: -1 -2 = -1 + 2 = 2 + -1 = 2 1 = 1.
