Share the most important life lessons that you have learnt so far this year. - Your perspective about the world and those around you is primarily shaped by your perception. Therefore, it's very important to think wisely, regulate your emotions, and control our innate prejudicial feelings about others, things and even ourselves. - Never show a lot of attention and care to those with whom you want to be friends but rather be civil because it's very likely that you will end up losing them. But why? I think that it's our nature as humans to lose interest in those who show us a lot of care in the initial phases of forming a friendly relationship.

At the very long period of time before social media was created , communiating with friends was an important part of everyone's daily life. People needed to talk about their work or subjects with others, so they needed to meet others in person. But nowadays, everything can be done online, we communicate with friends with social media. The chance of meeting people in person is low. Another strange phenomenon on social media is that when people get older in a certain age, usually in their later thrities, they became farouche, they seldom post moments on soical meida which is very different from their twenties. People in that age don't like to share their thoughts or mood with other neither online nor in person. But they are really keen on giving comments to the video which can sticke a chord. In that case, some people begin to be afraid of social contact. They'd rather stay alone with their cute phone than hang out with friends. A phone can supplies all the needs they need. The value of having a friend is not that important like what it is in the past time.

You cannot pronounce a word by just looking at the Chinese characters. You need to remember how is pronunciation for every Chinese characters, this is one of the hardest part of learning Chinese.

Be careful with what you say: that word has power My husband and I love to cultivate tomato. It is very simple, with just one seed you will have a beautiful tomato plant in which will provide you one kilo of taste tomatos. One day my husband planted a seed of tomato in a big plastic pot and when it started growing I noticed that it was not the kind of tomato I like and I said something negative about it. Every time I went to the porch, I said " it was not the tomato I wanted.. etc etc". Until then, the tomato plant was growing well and started growing many tomatos, but after I speak this negative words it started to dry. Honestly, I already saw people talking to plants and It seems something foolish/madness to me (I don't know which word to use), but after this experience, I've never said something negative to a plant anymore. Gratitude! Sometimes things don't occur the way we want, we pronouce many negative words and, after that, we don't understand the reason why so many things bad come to our path. It is one lesson I would like to share here. Less complain and MORE GRATITUDE.

I'd say that using a personal bag for groceries instead of using plastic bags is one of the best ways of environmental protection, other one would be recycling practices. I know those are small changes but even a small change can make a big difference if everyone does it
