Article: If you're feeling inadequate or immature, it probably stems from not finding and pursuing your true talents. Part of becoming an adult, in this sense, is reaching a degree of independence. Start by trying several jobs or activities to find what you're naturally skilled at. For example, you might volunteer at a hospital and discover that you're great at working with people or handling difficult situations. This might lead you to pursue a career that's people-oriented. Studies suggests that the people who are happiest with their lives find their natural talents and pursue them. This is more important than choosing a career based on popularity or income. Since no two people ever follow the exact same life path, your own development as a person will be unique. This can be difficult to appreciate since people live in communities and societies that often have expectations and age-related milestones. For example, your society might expect you to get an education, find a job, and start a family, in that order. Or, you might be expected to care for a family member instead of starting off on your own. It can be hard to know what to do when social expectations conflict with what you'd like to do with your life. Remember that research suggests that those who are happiest with their lives aren't necessarily those who chose their career path based upon its prestige. Find which activities, people, or things make you act with the most enthusiasm and passion. This will help you feel more independent and competent in your daily life. Avoid simply acting on an impulse. Instead, give some thought to what you're already motivated by and learn to use these abilities. For example, you may realize that you're passionate about teaching others. Use this knowledge to look for opportunities to use that enthusiasm. You may tutor classmates, teach in a school, or go to school to become an educator. Start by making a list of as many happy situations you can remember. Write down as many details regarding the events as you can remember. A list will help you figure out what it was about these situations that made you happy or energetic. You may notice that you were with the same few people. Or, maybe you found that you enjoy figuring out challenges. Since different things make different people happy, it's important that you know what you enjoy. For example, your list might have something like playing video games, playing the drums, or painting. This might lead you to realize that you're happiest when you're working with your hands. This is especially true if you're a young adult, relying on your parents to support you. Take steps to take care of yourself and your needs. This might mean getting a job to support yourself financially. Or, if you notice you're lonely, schedule time with friends to get some company. Avoid relying on others to take care of you and look after your needs. Part of growing up is recognizing that you are the one that's responsible for you. Once you're supporting yourself, it will become easier to make your own decisions and stand by them. While you're growing up, others often make all your decisions for you, be they major or minor ones. Part of becoming your own person is moving to make your own choices. You might start with smaller choices, like which classes to sign up for in school or where you want to eat. Gradually, start making larger life decisions for yourself. For example, if you're unhappy in your job, you can decide to quit or change careers. Or, if you're tired of living with your parents or a roommate, you can decide to move out on your own.

Problem: Article: Use a small amount of sandboard wax on the bottom of the board. Rub the wax across the board from the back to the top and a small amount of the edges of the board. Take a handful of dry sand and rub it over the wax to help smooth it out. Apply sand to the board until it no longer sticks on the wax. Slide the board back and forth in the sand, bottom down, so the board glides easily in the sand. Do not use wet sand on the board, as this can cause your board to stick to the sand as you ride. Make sure you are facing in the direction you are heading down the dune. Keep your arms and legs tucked into the center of the board. You will need to use a sandboard with no bindings to be able to lie down on your belly comfortably. Sit down and strap your feet into the bindings. Make sure your dominant foot is in front of the board, pointing in the direction you are heading down the dune. You should be able to rock back on your heels when you are strapped into the bindings. Look for a dune with dry sand that has a 4 to 5m (13 to 16ft) slope. Make sure there are no shrubs, sticks, shells, or obstructions around the dune or at the bottom of the dune. If you are standing on the board, keep your weight centered and your knees slightly bent. Shift your weight forward and keep your hips and shoulders stacked on top of each other. Turn your head in the direction you are heading and keep your arms relaxed at your sides. If you are lying on your belly, keep your body in the center of the board, with your legs tucked in and your chin up. If you are standing, tip your weight slightly forward and slide the board until it moves down the dune. If you are lying on your belly, use your hands to push yourself off the dune. If you are standing, allow the board to pick up speed as you ride down the dune, keeping your back leg strong and your weight in the center of the board. If you are lying on your belly, keep your arms and legs tucked in and your chin up as you slide down the dune. Avoid leaning forward or shifting your weight too far forward as you ride. Stretch your hands out to help you balance as you ride. You should slow down as you reach the bottom of the dune and come to a gradual stop. There are usually no lifts to carry you back up to the dunes so you will have to run back up the dune on your own. Do another run on the same hill to get the hang of sandboarding. Then, challenge yourself to do a bigger dune or a dune with a bigger slope. You may need to wax your board again between runs to keep it smooth and help it to slide on the sand.
Summary: Wax the bottom of the sandboard. Lie down on your belly for a less strenuous run. Stand with your feet in the bindings for a more challenging run. Start on a small dune with a flat starting point. Place your board downhill. Push off the dune to gain speed. Keep your weight centered as you ride down the dune. Run back up the dune with your board to do a second run.

Look around at all the floor that will need to be covered. This includes everything bordered by walls, but also less obvious places like the floor inside of closets. Sketch the floorspace out on a sheet of paper for reference. Run a tape measure down one side of the room to get its length. Move the tape measure and record the other wall in the same way. Write these measurements down on the sketch you made for reference. If there aren't any obstructions or unusual aspects to the room, the length and width will be enough to calculate the area. Take the length and multiply it by the width to get the area of floor space in square units. For instance, if one wall is 10 feet (3.0m) and the other is 8 feet (2.4m), multiply these to get a total floor space area of 80 feet (24m) square. If there are any closets, obstructions, or angled areas in the room, you'll start with this basic area and adjust it with a few more calculations to get the actual total amount of floor space. If you have a simple room with no obstructions or unusual shapes, look up an online floor space calculator. Enter the length and width measurements, and the calculator will compute the area.
