Enriching(使丰富) your life means making an effort to make your life as meaningful and happy as possible. Though you may have difficulty realizing it, there are endless steps you can take to experience new things, gain knowledge, and enjoy what you already have.

Learn to forgive others. If you often hate other people around you, then you won’t live a wonderful life. So learn to move forward and accept nobody and that everyone makes mistakes. If someone has really hurt you and feel it difficult to accept that person’s apology(道歉), then be honest about it. Don’t pretend(假装)that you’re okay and then go on complaining. This won’t get you very far.

Volunteer to help others. It will not only be good for the people around you, but also make you able to connect with different people who can influence your life just as positively(积极地) as you can influence theirs. You can work in a homeless shelter or help do the cleaning in your neighbourhood.

Try to be less wasteful. Trying to be not wasteful can help you become thankful and really enjoy the world around you more. You can use paper instead of plastic whenever you can. Don’t use too many products that can’t be used again. Go to somewhere on foot or by bike instead of driving. All these ideas make you less wasteful.

Get along well with your friends and family. No matter how busy you are, you should develop a habit of spending time with your loved ones and letting them know how much they mean to you. You can write thank-you cards to your friends and family members or call up your parents or grandparents regularly. If you’re not living in the same place, then often tell yourself to call just to say “hi”.

If you're one of those people who like to use apps to kill time, you're not alone. Here are four apps for you to spend your free time.

Baicizhan

First of all, the app tells you how many English words you need to learn every day. That's not all. It can also be very fun. The learning process is like playing a guessing game. Instead of just showing the Chinese and English meanings of a new word, the app asks you to first choose the correct picture from four, according to an English description. And then, you can practice remembering the new word in other ways.

Douban FM

A digital radio app like a Douban FM might be the right music app for you. Without a playlist, you will never know what the next song is. Songs just keep playing one by one. You can use the "heart", "trash" and

"skip" buttons to mark the songs you like, don' t like, and want to cut short. Those marked with a heart will be kept in another list as your favorites for you to enjoy again at any time you want.

Moment Camera

App stores have too many camera apps with filters. They are all designed to make your smart phone camera better. But which one gives you the best influence? Moment Camera. Many people like this app because of its sequence shots and different-sized frames for photos. But the best thing about the app is not what it does, but what it leaves out. It is simple, clean, and easy to use.

Flipboard

It is one of the hottest news apps right now. But the difference with Flipboard is that you can make everything personal to you. Open up the app, choose whatever interests you, and click the "+" button. In the end you'll have your own magazine with news, articles, and information. So unlike the boring magazines you read in the past, you can be sure that every page of this one will interest you.
