11Help Us Believe In OurselvesDreams for yourself is a way to fuel your ambition.It isnt just about creating a plan for your life and holding yourself accountable, its also about giving us the inspiration necessary to aim for things we never thought possible.6. Goals Help Us Live Life To The FullestIn many ways, life is like a vacation (though it certainly doesnt feel like it); were given a finite amount of time to pursue the experiences we want and then before you know it, its time to go. If you want to get the most out of your precious moments of life, you have to know what you want.1. Goals Propel You ForwardTheres a very common pattern that comes with working towards dreams that were all familiar with: you set your mind to something, you get excited and work like mad, and then motivation starts to wane. Having dreams that you can focus on and visualize helps you better connect yourself with your inner desires, and gives you the motivational energy you need to work through periods where your focus inevitably starts to wane.Goals Hold You Accountable For FailureGoals Tell You What You Truly WantBy asking ourselves what we really want and constantly re-assessing our dreams, we gain the benefit of introspection and self-reflection. We can figure out what it is we really want in life and then we can go out and do it.2I have experienced a whole year of college life. The life here is different from the life in high school.We can learn our professional knowledge from the teachers. But the teachers in the college are also different,they leave once the classes finish. We cannot find them except during the class time,and they dont have rigid control to us.so we must have a possessiveness. We also learn other useful knowledge by ourselves or training class. For example, my major is computer ,in the school we can only learn the knowledge of computer,however in the need of the market ,learning Japanese is essential. In order to have more chances in the future ,I start to learn it by myselfe. Of course by dint of computer and textbook. In this way ,I can learn susscessfully.Wed better struggle for the future rather than regret for the past. It tell us grasp today, make the most use of today, learn everything we can learn. Knowledge is power.AdvantageExerciseGetting involved with an extreme sport is a great way to meet friends who share similar interests. Many skateboarders, snowboarders and BMXers alike band together to create their own clubs and groups. Riding with your new-found friends will allow you to progress in your riding skills while learning new and more difficult tricks and maneuvers.CamaraderieGetting involved with an extreme sport is a great way to have fun while maintaining a healthy body weight. Regardless of the extreme sport you participate in, with regular riding practices youll be able to burn excess calories and tone a multitude of muscles. Performing aerial jumps on a BMX bike will allow you to strengthen your bicep and triceps. Riding your snowboard down a mountain slope will target your quadriceps and lower leg muscles.DisadvantageInjuriesWhile every sport has certain dangers, extreme sports athletes are at an increased risk of serious injuries. Back-country snowboarders are known for riding on an unpredictable terrain where avalanches are commonplace. While these off-piste riders dont ride on a groomed slope, hazards such as large boulders and fallen trees can be easily hidden under large deposits of newly fallen snow. Even the smallest misstep can plummet big wave surfers more than 30 feet below the breaking ocean waves. According to Thrasher Magazine, skateboarders often subject themselves to bone-crunching falls while attempting to grind down steep handrails.TicketsWhile many extreme sports athletes have designated training facilities to master their craft, others prefer to take a more adventurous approach. Street riding is a prominent discipline among skateboarders, snowboarders and BMX riders alike. Street riding often takes place on urban obstacles, including stairs and handrails. A major disadvantage of street riding is that most of the spots are private property. According to Transworld Skateboarding, skaters often get tickets for street riding that entail a costly fine. Extreme sports athletes also are commonly prosecuted for defacing property and trespassing.It is important to be punctual because it shows that you are interested in a particular thing. It also insures that you receive all information that is givenPunctuality is important mainly because it is the first impression you give about whether or not you care about whatever you are supposed to be on time for. It is also important because most of the time there are people who depend on you being at a certain place at a given time, and their day, whether it be personal or business, can be affected by your punctuality or lack of it. It is important to be punctual for various reasons. I know that any event or meeting that comes up you want make sure you arrive on time because you dont want to miss valuable information and then to people are always watching. Say for instance youre trying to get promoted on your job, hiring managers always look at punctuality, its and indication that you are reliable and you stick to the scheduled time. When there is an event planned I love to get front row seats or the best seats especially when you know theres going to be heavy traffic. Punctuality plays a big part in your everyday life and is one of most common elements that society pays attention to.Punctuality is important mainly because it is the first impression you give about whether or not you care about whatever you are supposed to be on time for. It is also important because most of the time there are people who depend on you being at a certain place at a given time, and their day, whether it be personal or business, can be affected by your punctuality or lack of it.Music is the key to a thousand emotions. We associate music with the places we have been, the times we have experienced and the people in our lives. Music is all around us. There is no denying the effectiveness of music.Relaxing music, relaxation music, meditation music. call it what you will. There is no question that it can help us to shape our environment effectively and can be changed to suit or influence our mood.Music can be an effective and positive treatment for people dealing with mental health conditions. There are two distinct ways music therapy is used: either as a means of communication and self-expression or for its inherent restorative or healing qualitiesSomeone who is very withdrawn may find that music can act as an outlet for expressing things that theyre unable to put into words. It can also act as a stimulus to awaken buried memories or evoke emotional responses that may take weeks to achieve with talking therapies. Relaxing music or relaxation music (also known as new age music) can be used to relieve stress, unwind after a hard day at work, promote good sleep or as a focus of concentration during yoga or meditation. As a composer, the idea of music for relaxation has fascinated me. For a long time, I have researched the benefits of music for health and wellbeing. Music is just a part of relaxation, but can be the key to calm and relax mind and body.DisadvantageOne of the disadvantages associated with reading is that for some people, it is boring. This is because in many cases, people feel forced into reading, especially while in school. Another disadvantage is that sometimes, people read materials at a very fast pace without retaining in memory much of the crucial content.There are very few disadvantages of reading books. However, some people may argue that reading is a waste of time that could be better spent on other activities. Some subjects are also boring to read.Disadvantage: Reading Is BoringMany people tend to read because they need it for work or study purposes and therefore do not associate it with relaxation or enjoyment. This sentiment generally begins in high school, when difficult literary classics such Shakespeare are mandatory. In the past, reading was one of the few ways to pass the time, but that was before the advent of technologies beginning with the radio, then television and now computers, the Internet and gaming consoles - in other words, people have many other options for spending time nowadays. With leisure time a precious commodity in this hectic day and age, many people prefer to spend this time doing something that actually interests, relaxes or excites them, ranging from more active pursuits such as playing sports and socialising to more passive activities such as watching movies or video games.Advantage: Reading Is Good Exercise For The BrainUnlike watching television, reading activates parts of the brain that would otherwise remain dormant. Stimulating the brain through reading helps keep it strong and active, thereby reducing the risk of developing conditions such as Alzheimers disease while improving concentration and memory. Reading is also a valuable learning tool that helps expand knowledge, skills and vocabulary, which in turn give readers more confidence to deal with a variety of situations and discuss a wider variety of topics.Disadvantage: Reading Is A Time WasterWith the availability to audio books and the adaptation of many books into television series and movies, many people would prefer not taking the extra days and hours to sit down and actually read a book. For many people who do manage to take time to read during their busy daily routine, reading is usually just a means to help pass the time while commuting, having a meal or even sitting on the toilet.Advantage: Reading Is RelaxingReading provides a peaceful escape at any time of day from digital gadgets and the constant bombardment of information that comes from living in the digital age. As well as providing an avenue for relaxation, reading provides an ideal way to unwind at the end of a hectic day. People who read before bed develop a sleep association, their body identifying reading with falling asleep, which helps them fall asleep more easily and sleep more soundly.ImportantMost students view taking finals exams as a dreadful experience. They undergo different levels of anxiety, tension and worrying. For centuries, getting and pursuing knowledge has not changed. A multi-level system is applied where students learn and progress in their educational career. Exams are used for assessing the students n a competitive arena throughout this system. According to their results, students either move forward to a higher level or repeat their academic year.A lot of controversy has been raised on the importance of these finals exams, both inside the educational circles and outside. Exams improve the accountability of students and schools. Knowledge is cumulative, so a student doing poor in very early stages can end up behind indefinitely. It is rather difficult to make a precise judgment or give a clear stand on whether it is viable to abolish or move ahead with this system. All views have elements of objectivity on their diverse claims as such; pros and cons carry views that must be taken into account.Not importantThe answer: No one knows. But apparently were about to find out.Across the country, there is growing evidence that final exams once considered so important that universities named a week after them are being abandoned or diminished, replaced by take-home tests, papers, projects, or group presentations. Anecdotally, longtime professors say they have been noticing the trend for years. And now, thanks to a recent discussion at Harvard University, there are statistics that make clear just how much the landscape has changed. Have a list of all medications you are presently taking to include correct dosage and instructions. A photocopy of the original prescription would be useful if you had to buy replacement medications due to loss. With your list of medications keep a short health history that includes all health conditions, prior surgical procedures and allergies to both food and medications. If you are going to a foreign country a small translation guide would be useful - earmark important words like pharmacy, hospital and doctor. I you use any medical equipment requiring a power source be sure to take along correct batteries or an adaptor. Check with your airline if you need to travel with syringes (for insulin) or any other type of equipment that may be prohibited due to security concerns. Discuss your travel plans with your doctor - he may be able to recommend a practitioner or hospital in the area you are traveling in should the need arise. Make sure you have health insurance coverage when you travel. Traditional Medicare will not cover you outside the country. Most commercial health insurance and Medicare HMOs will provide coverage for urgent and emergency medical care outside their coverage area. Check your policy to be sure. You can also purchase travel insurance. Make sure your immunizations are up to date, this includes an annual flu shot. A tetanus/diphtheria immunization should be obtained every ten years for adults. Other shots will depend on the region you are traveling. The CDC has a complete and up to date listing of health advisories and required immunizations. A little preparation can go a long way in making for an enjoyable trip. Dont discourage fantasy. One of the qualities of the creative person, young or old is herability to move freely back and forth between the world of facts and reason and the vastrealms of the mind that lie just below the surface of consciousness. The creative persons greater flexibility, depth of feeling and keenness of insight come from being open to vague feelings and hunches that others dismiss as silly.Dont hold back. On the theory that nothing succeeds like success, American parents are so intent on sparing their hurt of failure that they deny them a chance to learn from their mistakes.Make creativity rewarding. Children, like adults, achieve most along whatever lines bring the most satisfaction. Dr. Torrance found that when eight-grade children are rewarding for originality they produce about twice as many original ideas as when they as rewarding for sheer number of ideas regardless of quality (Torrance, 191974).Dont judge by reading and writing. Creative children often lag behind the group in verbal abilities. It is sometimes difficult for them to put their ideas down on paper. One nine-year-old, at the bottom of his class because of reading and writing problems, turned out to be near the top on creativity tests.Allow freedom to experiment. To think creatively, a child needs to toy with the subject, play around with ideas, and try out wild and far-fetched guesses. Instead of laughing at him, encourage him to test his statements, imagine what the world would be like if they were true. Dont pin him down to “right” or “wrong.”Help them use creativity in social relations. One of the biggest problems in life will be getting along with others without sacrificing the qualities that make them creative and“different.” Help them use sensitivity to be kind, insight to be understanding and tolerant of those who dont see things in the same way. Show them how to assert themselves without being domineering, work alone without being withdrawn, be honest with others without being overcritical. Prepare them to accept the fact anyone who has original ideas10.YesAs a person goes through life crises and events a personality changes. A person would have to live in a vacuum to not be affected in someway by the events that they participate in. A outgoing person who experiences a great deal of tragedy may become quiet and introspective. An individual who is shy as a child may become outgoing and gregarious as they become to participate in more activities during school and their esteem increases. Anyone can change their personality. You can change anything you want to about yourself. Its always nice to make the negative better.you can be anything you want. we are the creators of our own destiny. make a list of all the qualities you would require in your own best friend. work towards adopting those behaviors, attitudes and traits. I think that your personality can change over time the only thing that doesnt change is being your self. When you grow up you start seeing things differently and this changes your view of it so you change your personality by looking at things differently. In other words yes your personality does change.I believe it can. Because you are molded by the experiences you have in life, both positive and negative. And those experiences can shape the way you think, feel, act, and react - from the most extreme ways to the very minute ways. You may not change at the very base of your personality - the foundation of who you are - but there are many aspects that can change, depending on what life deals you. 11.Parental Behavior toward Girls and BoysIn addition, girls and boys are viewed and treated differently by their parents, particularly their fathers. Boys are thought to be stronger and are treated more roughly and played with more actively than girls as early as birth. As children get older, girls are protected more and allowed less autonomy than boys, and girls are not expected to achieve as much in the areas of mathematics and careers as are boys.Books and TelevisionMany extrafamilial influences affect gender-role typing. Male and female roles are portrayed in gender-stereotypic ways in television and many childrens books. Males are more likely than females to be portrayed as aggressive, competent, rational, and powerful in the workforce. F
