Do you turn up your music as loud as you can and listen to your own entertainment? Do you buy yourself the biggest steak you could find and sit down to a good meal? It has been my observation that these activities can be the best type of therapy for a troubled mind. It is crucial for humans to find some solitude in life. They must find some time to let the universe go spinning on without othersinterruption . The portion of this world that belongs to one person is increasingly becoming smaller. And whatever we do have we must share with others. Therefore, our ability to maintain a healthy balance between social interaction and personal pursuits is being challenged. Inspiration in solitude is a major commodity not only for poets and philosophers but for ordinary people as well. A healthy adult needs alone-time; time to reflect on what is truly important to them. When you are alone, you can stretch out your soul until it fills up the whole room, and use your freedom, moving at your own pace. However, its important to stay rational . Dont forget that in order to be a healthy part of others lives, you must yourself be healthy. 你怎样度过你的时间当你孤单吗？你把你的音乐的声音可以听你自己的娱乐？你给自己买你能找到和坐下来吃一顿最大的牛排？这是我的观察，这些活动可以是一个困扰的心灵治疗的最佳类型。人类的生活中找到一些孤独是至关重要的。他们必须找个时间让宇宙去旋转不othersinterruption。此部分的世界，属于一个人越来越小。无论我们做我们必须与别人分享。因此，我们要保持社会交往和个人追求健康的平衡受到挑战的能力。独处的灵感是诗人和哲学家但不仅对普通人一样。一个健康的成年人的需要“独处的时间”；时间去思考什么是真正重要的是他们。当你孤单的时候，你可以放飞你的灵魂，让它充满整个房间，用你的自由，在您自己的步伐移动。然而，重要的是保持理性。别忘了，为了别人的生命健康的一部分，你必须自己是健康的。 1Have you ever known anyone famous? If so, you may have found that they are remarkably similar to the rest of us. You may have even heard them object to people saying there is anything different about them. “Im really just a normal guy,” protests an actor who has recently rocketed into the spotlight. There is, of course, usually a brief period when they actually start to believe they are as great as their worshipping fans suggest. They start to wear fancy clothes and talk as if everyone should hear what they have to say. This period, however, does not often last long. They fall back to reality as fast as they had originally risen above it all. What will it feel like to soar to such altitude and look down like an eagle from up high on everyone else? And what will it feel like to have flown so high only to wake from your dream and realize you; are only human? Some only see the cruelty in losing something they had gained. They often make desperate attempts to regain what they lost. Often these efforts result in even greater pain. Some become bankrupt financially and emotionally. The only real winners are those who are happy to be back on the ground with the rest of us. 你知不知道一些著名的人？如果是这样，你可能已经发现他们和我们（普通人)没有什么区别。您甚至可能会听到他们反对人们说他们与众不同。“我真的只是一个普通的家伙”，一个最近飙升到聚光灯下的演员抗议道。当然，通常在一个短暂的时期，他们开始相信他们是伟大的，因为被他们崇拜的粉丝推崇。他们开始穿花哨的衣服，好像每个人都应该在听他们说话。然而，这样的期间，不会持续太长。他们很快回归到了现实，就在他们把这些（名利）看得太重的时候。那种感觉就好像是一直翱翔在高空的老鹰俯视其他所有的人？那种飞得高的感觉只是为了唤醒你的梦想从而认清你自己？他们从得到又失去中体会到了残酷。他们常常绝望的想得到他们失去的东西。这些努力往往导致更大的痛苦。有些人无论经济和情感上都破产了。只有真正的赢家是那些乐意回到地面与我们（普通人）在一起的人。 2Have you ever heard of Jon Stewart ? he is currently one of the most popular comics on television.

If someone has been injured on the job ,they are supposed to notify the medical worker ,who would certify that there was a problem. Then, they may receive compensation from the company. If the company provides a pension, the person may receive money monthly to make up for lost wages. The person who has been disabled may also take the company to court if safety was neglected at the workplace. This usually results in receipt of a payment to settle the dispute. In addition, all workplaces are required to pay money to the government for a program to take care of people disabled on the job. One provision in this program requires workplaces where more injuries occur to pay more money. For this reason companies that require heavy physical
