In order to deal with the work and pressure that seem boring, we have to take an active part in beautiful acts of love and kindness. So get to it!

1. In order to solve the problem, we must face it bravely. This can include people in your life who may be bringing you down, the environment or even a person that makes you upset and worried. It’s up to you to handle them.

In order to live a meaningful life, you must love yourself. 2. Take care of your actions and how you live each day. Love yourself fully in order to love others fully.

3. It’s not easy to make a decision about what is worth your time and effort or what is not. If situations are seriously terrible and are not repaired, it’s time to let go. Are there broken relationships or friendships but you know they are worth the time? Fix them and find peace. Do what you can to find love in situations.

4. Give our time, energy, love, and sometimes money, please. It is “The True Meaning of Life”. Everything we put into the world comes back to us. At the end of the day, no matter what you have, you are likely in a position to give something small to someone else who needs it.

Things that make us smile, laugh and feel good are just amazing. This one is pretty simple…Just do MORE of it. 5. I truly believe that in the super fast paced world we live in, happiness may not come as easily as we wish.

Has anyone ever told you that eating carrots will help you see in the dark?

This is just one of many incorrect beliefs you may have heard. Below, we have picked out scientific explanations for three mistakes that people make about their eyes. Let's take a look.

Can eating carrots improve your eyesight?

Carrots are rich in vitamin A, which helps the eyes to turn light into information for your brain. This allows people to see in darker places.

However, eating more carrots won't help you see better. A certain minimum amount will help, but a large number of carrots will not give you superhuman vision.

If your parents have bad eyesight, will you have bad eyesight, too?

Myopia(近视)can be passed from parents to children.

A study by the American Optometric Association found that if both parents are myopic, there's a 33 to 60 percent chance that their child will be. For children who have one parent with myopia, the chance is 23 to 40 percent. and it's down to 6 to 15 percent for kids with non-myopic parents.

So if your eyesight is bad, your children might still have good vision.

Do color blind people see the world in black and white?

Color blindness doesn't usually mean that people see the world like an old movie. They usually can't tell certain colors apart, especially green and red. Another commonly confused pair of colors is yellow and blue.

Our eyes have cone cells (视锥细胞) that sense different wavelengths (波长) of light. If these cells don't work properly, color blindness occurs.

There are different levels of color blindness. Some people are only color blind in low light.

However, in the most serious form of color blindness, everything is shades of gray.

This is an old story. It was first told long ago. A rich man wanted to make a journey to another town. He was a businessman. He wanted to take things to sell. He also wanted to take some gold to buy some things with. He decided to take ten servants with him. They would carry the things to sell and the food to eat on the journey. 

He was a kind man. He said to one of his servants, “You are the smallest, the thinnest and the weakest of all my servants. You cannot carry a heavy load (负担). You may choose the lightest load to carry.” The servant thanked his master (主人). He pointed to the biggest load. This was bread for them to eat on the journey. 

“You are foolish,” said his master. “That is the biggest and heaviest load.” But the servant lifted up the load cheerfully and the journey began. They walked for four hours. Then they stopped for a rest. They all ate some of the bread. Then there was less bread for the servant to carry. The servant’s load grew smaller and lighter every day. At the end of the journey, the smallest servant had nothing to carry.

If you could choose, would you rather be a genius (天才) or a common person? This was the question our teacher asked us after we watched a movie called Gifted. In the movie, a girl named Mary shows amazing mathematical talent at the age of 7 and feels bored school. Her uncle Frank thinks that she should stay in her normal school. However, Mary's grandmother Evelyn believes that Mary is a genius who should be taught specially in mathematics.

The reason for their argument comes from Frank's sister. She too was a promising mathematician, but killed herself when Mary was six months old. She suffered from Evelyn's push throughout her life. Frank doesn't want the same thing to happen to Mary. After many talks and fights, Mary goes to stay with Frank and takes college-level courses while playing with kids her own age.

The story of this movie is simple, but the theme it ties to express is very controversial (有争议的). We can't say that Evelyn-style education is wrong. It can help gifted children to show their potential (潜力) the most. But a natural gift can sometimes be a kind of stress, as it can make children feel too different from kids their own age. Too much attention to their talent can make them feel lonely in the society and lead to mental health problems. Many historical geniuses, including English mathematician Sir Isaac Newton and English writer Virginia Woolf, had similar problems. I'm glad that by the end of the movie, Mary finds a way to balance her talent and her childhood.
