It's the computer monitor icon likely found on your desktop. On some versions of Windows, "My PC" is called "My Computer". If you can't find "My PC" on your desktop, type "My PC" into the Start window's search bar and then click the computer monitor icon when it pops up. It's under the "Devices and drives" heading in the middle of the "My Computer" page. On some Windows versions, the hard drive will say "OS" above it. This option is at the bottom of the right-click menu. You'll see this option at the top of the "Properties" window. Doing so will open the hard drive's "General" page, which lists attributes such as total storage. The "Used space" section displays how many gigabytes of your hard drive are taken up by your files, while the "Free space" shows you the number of gigabytes left on your hard drive. You may notice a discrepancy between the total number of gigabytes listed on your hard drive and the number of gigabytes that was advertised when you bought the computer. This is because a certain portion of your computer's hard drive is used to store the computer's operating system; therefore, that space is irreversibly used, and thus, unlisted.

Summary: Double-click the "My PC" icon. Right-click the C: hard drive icon. Click Properties. Click the General tab. Review your hard drive's storage.

Comparing yourself to others -- in any way like job, looks, talent, intelligence, etc -- is unfair. You live an entirely different life than others, and it has affected and shaped you differently. This will help ease expectations you set yourself, and help put your own life in perspective. Remember that you are unique; no one else has the same exact history as you. For example, do not compare your looks to your friends. They have had different experiences than you. If you feel like you are not as smart as your classmates, consider the fact you have a different educational history and experiences than them. Whatever you are struggling with, a great way to put your life in perspective to consider what has come before. Consider what has happened in history and think about your problems in relation to that. Your problems and your life may still cause you to feel strong emotions. It is very important not to discount your emotions even if you think that you might "not have it that bad." Reflecting on historical facts is meant to consider change, not to discount your thoughts. Read books on history or take a class about a culture that might interest you. There are also great history podcasts that are offered for free through very reputable institutes and organizations. A great way to find perspective is to talk to others. They can help you consider new view points or acknowledge your viewpoints and opinion. Always be polite and respectful to people's perspectives, even if they are different from your own. Perspectives and stances can be personal. Seeing a situation as hopeless can make it hard for you to get anything done, but you can change that. If you feel like you are not capable of changing something, then try to identify something small that you could do. For example, if you feel like you are not capable of finding a job, then try to identify what you might do to start the process. Perhaps you could identify three jobs that you would like to apply for or fill out one job application at a place that is hiring. A negative outlook may make you feel like things will never change, rather than viewing the future with hope and possibility. Try to reframe any negative thoughts that you have about the present with positive thoughts about the future. For example, if you think to yourself, "I am never going to finish this project," try asking yourself something like, "When I imagine myself completing this project, what do I see happening to reach that goal?" Fears about how other people view you may also interfere with your ability to have a positive outlook. Instead of focusing on how other people may or may not see you, try to focus on how you see yourself. For example, if you find yourself thinking, "No one likes me," try asking yourself, "What do I like about myself?"

Summary: Stop comparing yourself and your actions to others. Learn from history and from others. Talk to others. Focus on what you can do. Look to the future. Identify your feelings rather than focusing on others.

Place 1UStbsp (15ml) of sour cream or yogurt into the pot of curry. Mix it in with a wooden spoon. Taste the curry to see if the spiciness has been reduced. If the curry is still too spicy, continue adding a spoonful of either ingredient and tasting it to see if it improves the flavor. Be careful not to add too much sour cream or yogurt, as this may make the consistency of the curry too thick. Many curries have a coconut base, which means that adding coconut milk can work perfectly to dial down the heat. Add 1UStbsp (15ml) of coconut milk to the curry sauce, and taste it to see if it has helped. Simply add another spoonful or two if the first wasn't enough, and keep tasting the curry to see if the flavor has improved. Milk can also help to tone down the spiciness of curry. Pour 1UStbsp (15ml) of milk into the pot that has the curry sauce in it, and mix it in to combine it with the other ingredients. Taste the curry after you add the milk. If it hasn't reduced the spiciness enough, add a bit more and try it again. Don't add too much milk at one time, as it could change the consistency of the curry and make it watery. Whole fat milk is the best to add to curries. Use either an oil that tastes neutral, such as vegetable oil, or one that will complement the flavors in the dish. Only add 1 teaspoon (4.9mL) of oil at a time, and mix it in thoroughly. Always try the curry before adding more oil to see how it has changed the taste.
Summary: Add sour cream or yogurt if you don't mind thickening the curry. Use coconut milk if it matches the flavor. Add milk if you don't mind thinning the curry. Use extra oil if the recipe already includes oil.
