In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Put the club soda in a spray bottle, then dampen the stain. Wait 1-2 minutes for the soda to soak into the stain. Then, blot the stain with a clean cloth until the stain lifts. As an alternative, you can put your club soda in a dish, then dip your rag in the dish. Blot the stain with your damp rag. Continue to blot the stain until it lifts. In a bowl or bucket, add the soap and swirl it around in the water until it dissolves. It's important to use cold water to prevent the blood from spreading further into the carpet. Dawn is known for its grease-fighting formula. Use a spray bottle that is completely clean so you don't transfer anything from it to the carpet. Pour the soapy water into the spray bottle. If you use a spray bottle that previously had another liquid in it, be sure to rinse it thoroughly. Using the spritzer bottle, soak the blood stain with the soapy water. Dried blood is likely to need more spraying than fresh blood will need. Don't over-saturate the carpet, but make sure the stain is soaked. Take a cloth and put pressure on the stain, allowing the cloth to soak up as much of the blood as possible. It's important to use a white cloth so that no color from the cloth transfers to the carpet. A paper towel with no printing works great and allows you to toss it in the trash after the clean up. If the first round of spraying and dabbing does not fully remove the stain, get a clean cloth and repeat the process as necessary. If the stain does not come up completely with dish soap and water, try the harsher cleaning power of ammonia. Mix the liquids in a cup that you can easily dip a cloth into. Make sure to use a different cloth than you used before so it is free of blood. Wet the cloth with the mixture and press it into the stain until it comes up completely.
Summary: Spray club soda on the stain for an easy fix. Mix one tbsp of grease-fighting dish soap into two cups of cold water. Pour the mixture into a spray bottle. Spray the stain with the water so it is totally covered. Dab at the stain with a clean, white cloth. Mix one tablespoon of ammonia with cup warm water. Use a clean, white cloth to dab at the stain until it is removed.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: The most important part of accomplishing big goals is realizing that you need the help and support of people who care about you. Having a support system in place can help you stay motivated. Surrounding yourself with supportive people doesn't mean surrounding yourself with people who will never critique your plans. You want people who will be honest with you and help you to improve your ideas. For example, if you're working on that speech for school, and you're committed to doing something different with it, ask a friend to listen to what you have and be honest about how they think it's going. It might be painful to hear that they think what you're trying just doesn't work, but it will ultimately make you better. And getting a new perspective helps you stay motivated. You can also ask your support system to help keep you accountable. Share your deadlines or smaller step goals with them and ask them to check in with you. Be careful of becoming overly reliant on others, too. If you spend too much time getting other people's opinions and following their suggestions, you'll get really good at helping them think big, but won't do so well thinking big for yourself. Criticism can be helpful sometimes, but it is important not to base your worth on what other people think. Relying too much on other people's opinions can be self-limiting. It's easy to feel like you're not getting any closer to accomplishing your goals when you're focused on the little, everyday things you need to do to get there. Celebrating small victories can help you feel like you are accomplishing something because you are! and keep up your motivation. For example, if your goal is to have a best-selling book, you might celebrate the day you finish your research. Or the day you write a chapter. Or even when you get more than one page written in a sitting. You can celebrate in a lot of different ways, and they don't have to be expensive. Reward yourself with a piece of chocolate when you check off one of your steps. Or enjoy having a night off and binge a new TV show on a Saturday night. It doesn't really matter how you celebrate as long as you take a moment (or longer) to acknowledge that you're making progress. Try placing a calendar on your wall and crossing off all of the goals you have accomplished, no matter how small. If you focus too much on all the ways you might fail, or might fall short of your initial goal, you'll never have the motivation to get started. Everyone fails from time to time, and it's okay. Make a list of the ways that you might fail or fall short, and accept that they are distinct possibilities as you work to accomplish your big goals. If you do fail, remember that your failure doesn't define you. Assess what led to your failure and start again. Keep in mind that success is not a straight line from point A to point B. There will be challenges and setbacks along the way. Learn about some of the challenges you may face and consider how you will handle them.
Summary:
Develop a support system. Celebrate small victories. Don't be afraid of failure.
