Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Think about what you loved as a kid. Consider what you would do if income wasn't a problem. Pay attention to when you lose yourself. Consider what you don't like. Create a space for things that inspire you. Make curiosity a part of your day. Answer "yes. Explore your options. Let your passions give you expression.

Answer: For instance, if you loved to color, maybe you have a latent passion for design. If you were into building toys, such as building bricks or building logs, maybe your passion is more along the lines of architecture or construction. Don't just think about what you loved. You should also consider why you loved it. For instance, you may figure out that you loved building blocks because you loved the neat rows and colors, meaning you actually loved the organization of it. That is, if you suddenly inherited enough money that you didn't need to worry about rent or food, how would you spend your time? Think beyond sitting on the couch and watching television. Would you dive into a hobby? Volunteer? Visit the library or museum? What you would do points to what you're most passionate about. You know those moments when you lose all track of time because you are so absorbed in what you're doing? Those moments are the ones you need to pay attention to because you are obviously loving what you are doing. Learning what you don't like is just as important as learning what you do love. For one thing, it can show what you need to avoid when you're seeking out your passions and when you're seeking out a job. Start with the activities you dread. What do you dread about them? Why do you dread them? Once you answer these questions, you'll start to notice themes across the activities, such as maybe you don't like organizing or maybe you're not really a people person. Whether you use a journal, a poster, or board, make a space to put up the things that inspire you. Try putting up quotes, pictures, and ideas. Once you've started filling in your board, you'll start to notice themes, identifying some of your passions. Use anything you can get your hands on for your board, from the internet and junk mail to old magazines. When you find you are curious about something, take the time to do some research. You may find you are passionate about a subject just by following through on an idea. Use the internet or the library to start following your curiosity. " When life invites you to do something new, follow it along for awhile. For instance, when you get an opportunity to try something new at your job, agree to it. When your friend invites you to a new experience, go along with it. You never know what you'll come to love. One way to explore is to try different things. Go to the library, and read books about topics that interest you. Try joining different community clubs or taking classes through your parks and recreation department. However, you don't even need to leave home to explore different passions. Try doodling one afternoon or playing around in your garden. Leave yourself open to possibility. Your passions are where you can show who you are to the world. They also define who you are as a person because what you're passionate about drives your life. That's why it's so important to have them. If you're passionate about art, you can express yourself through it, either by creating it yourself or supporting people who do.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Categorize your spending patterns. Analyze your spending. Create a budget. Look for ways to save.

Answer: Most people's expenses consist of housing, utilities, entertainment, clothing, food, travel, and medical care. Start by reviewing the checks you've written and your credit card statements for the last few months. Add up what you spent in the above categories and any others specific to you. Credit card companies and online banks offer a feature that will summarize your spending for a given period of time, based on the names of the businesses where you spend money. If you don't use debit or credit cards, keep a careful accounting of your monthly expenses. For example, keep track of your food spending, both at the grocery store and at restaurants. After you have gathered this information compare the totals in each category. Do they seem reasonable, especially as percentages of your paycheck? Set a monthly target for how much money you should allocate to each category. See how to budget your money for more information. Include a target for retirement savings, even if it's quite small to begin with. Start by saving at least 1% of your monthly income for retirement. Slowly increase that percentage over time. You'll find you can gradually adjust to that allocation. The more you save for retirement, the better your later years will be. (If you don't think that's important, talk with someone who is already retired.) Generally financial experts recommend spending less than 30% of your monthly income on housing. In some locations, this may not be realistic. If that's the case where you live, it may be necessary to change neighborhoods. In addition to saving for retirement, build up a savings account as an emergency fund. Set aside about six months' worth of living expenses in case you lose your job or become incapacitated. Once you have created your budget, you will see the areas in which you need to reduce spending. Find ways to save in those categories. Address your largest expenses first. For example, if your monthly rent is $900, and you spend $300 a month on food, you might consider finding a cheaper rental. If you have a mortgage, think about refinancing at a lower interest rate. Meanwhile, look for ways to lower food costs. Don't eat at restaurants. Find recipes utilizing nutritious but inexpensive ingredients.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Pick a good spot to decorate your nails. Clean your nails. Clip and file your nails. Push back your cuticles. Roll the nail polish bottle between your palms for about 25-30 seconds. Paint your nails. Apply a top coat.

Answer:
You'll want a flat, stable surface with plenty of space to spread out your materials in a well-lit and well-ventilated room. If possible, try not to pick an area in a room with rugs, as paint will be more difficult to remove from carpet than wood or tile. Begin by washing your hands. Then, using a cotton ball soaked in nail polish remover, remove any previous polish from your nails. Hold the cotton ball against your nail for about ten seconds, and then swipe in a side-to-side motion. Use a Q-tip and nail polish remover to clean the edges of your nail. It's a good idea to use nail polish remover even if you don't have any polish on. This will remove natural oils that might prevent the paint from properly adhering to your nail. You'll want your nails to match, so they should all be the same length. Start by cutting them down, and then use a file to smooth out the rough edges. You can also use your file to shape your nails into either a rounded or squared edge, depending on your preference. Be sure to file in one direction, from the outside toward the center of the nail, rather than in a back-and-forth motion. This will prevent your nails from breaking. Your cuticles are the little strips of skin at the base of each of your nails. When you push this skin down, you get a cleaner looking manicure and a broader area of your nail for painting and decorating! Use a cuticle stick to gently move this skin down to the very bottom of your nail bed. You may want to soak your fingers in hot water for a few minutes before you push back your cuticles. The water will soften the skin and make the process easier. Do this instead of shaking the bottle, as this motion will warm and mix the polish without creating bubbles. Avoiding bubbles results in a smoother manicure. Start with a base coat, and then let it dry for about five to ten minutes. Next, apply two coats of your chosen color, allowing each coat to dry completely before applying the next one. Finish it off with your choice of nail art. Once your nail art is dry, apply your final coat of clear polish. This will prevent the nail polish from cracking or chipping, and it will add some extra shine to your nails. Be sure to apply a swipe of polish on the underside of your nail for added protection.
