not on risk but on certainty the certainty that each of us will one day die. life insurance is the basis of pension funds which provide for retirement and guard against other contingencies such as

affective disordersome people feel sad or depressed during the winter months in northern areas of the world. they may have trouble eating or sleeping. they suffer from a condition known as seasonal affective disorder, or s-a-d.victims of s-a-d suffer its effects during the short, dark days of winter. the problems are most severe in the months when there are fewer hours of daylight. when spring arrives, these signs disappear and s-a-d victims feel well again.the national mental health association reports that s-a-d can affect anyone. the group says young people and women are at the highest risk for the disorder. it says that an estimated 25 percent of the american population suffers from some form of s-a-d. about 5 percent suffer from a severe form of the disorder. many people in other parts of the world also have the condition.the idea of health problems linked to a lack of light is not new. scientists have discussed the issue since the beginning of medicine. more than two-thousand years ago, the greek doctor hippocrates noted that the seasons affect human emotions.today, experts do not fully understand s-a-d, and yet they agree that it is a very real disorder.to treat the disorder, victims of s-a-d do not need to wait until spring. experts know that placing affected individuals in bright light each day eases the condition. there are other things people can do to ease the problem. they can increase the sunlight in their homes and workplaces and spend more time outdoors in the fresh air during the day.one study found that walking for an hour in winter sunlight was as effective as spending two-and-one-half hours under bright light indoors.passage 5success is a choicewhether its a financial loss, the loss of respect of your peers or loved ones, or some other

or a curse?it is universally accepted that television is playing an important part in peoples lives. but, there is an ongoing heated discussion as to whether television is a blessing or a curse.television keeps one better informed about current affairs, allows one to follow the latest developments in politics and science, and offers a great variety of programs which are both instructive and stimulating. the most distant countries, the strangest customs and the most attractive scenes of nature are brought right into ones room or household.to sum up, television has both advantages and disadvantages. what ever effects it has, one point is certain, television in itself is neither good nor bad. it is the use to which it is put that determines its value to society.passage 7passage 8the wholeness of lifelife is not a trap set for us by god so that he can condemn us for failing. life is not a spelling bee, where no matter how many words you have gotten right, you are disqualified if you make one mistake. life is more like a baseball season, where even the best team loses one third of its games and even the worst team has its days of brilliance. our goal is to win more games than we lose. when we accept that imperfection is part of being human, and when we can continue rollingthrough life and appreciate it, we will have achieved a wholeness that others can only aspire to. that, i believe, is what god asks of us not be perfect, but be whole.if we are brave enough to love, strong enough to forgive, generous enough to rejoice in anothers happiness, and wise enough to know there is enough love to go around for us all, then we can achieve a fulfillment that no other living creature will ever know.passage 9workplace friendshipsa study into workplace relationships has found having a close friend at work can be a major distraction.respondents cited excessive chatting, having too much fun and an inability to separate work from play as contributing to a lack of focus.when faced with a work-related problem many people will prioritize their friendship over their responsibilities to their organization, which businesses may find concerning, said psychologist and auckland university of technology lecturer, dr. rachel morrison. workplace friendships are like a double-edged sword. the benefits of a friendly workplace can be really positive, but organizations should be aware of the potential difficulties and how to manage friendships at work.according to the study, many people were concerned about going softer with their friends and being expected to treat them with special privileges.people naturally want to make their friends feel special, but this conflicts with organizational practices or norms that are set up around fairness and equality. difficulty in managing these expectations can create tension in the relationship.respondents also experienced a great deal of anxiety about speaking to close friends about substandard work. a basic rule of friendship is being non-judgmental and accepting your friends weaknesses, but giving critical performance feedback conflicts with this.we also found issues related to confidentiality practices, which could mean friends have to refrain from sharing information. this can be really challenging for close friendships that havenorms of openness and disclosure, dr. morrison said.dr. morrison said organizations should try to provide friendly environments and encourage workplace friendships, but have policies in place to manage potential difficulties.passage 10love your lifehowever mean your life is, meet it and live it; do not shun it or call it hard names. it is not so bad as you are. it looks poorest when you are richest. the fault-finder will find faults even in paradise. love your life, poor as it is. you may perhaps have some pleasant, thrilling, glorious hours, even in a poorhouse. the setting sun is reflected from the window of the alms-house as brightly as from the rich mans abode; the snow melts before its door as early in the spring. i do not see but a quiet mind may live as contentedly there, and have as cheering thoughts, as in a palace. the towns poor seem to me often to live the most independent lives of any. maybe they are simply great enough to receive without misgivings. most think that they are above being supported by the town; but it often happens that they are not above supporting themselves by dishonest means, which should be more disreputable. cultivate poverty like a garden herb, like sage. do not trouble yourself much to get new things, whether clothes or friends. turn to the old, turn to them. things do not change; we change. sell your clothes and keep your thoughts.passage 11man is here for the sake of other menfrom the standpoint of daily life, however, there is one thing we do know that man is here for the sake of other men above all for the countless unknown souls with whose fate we are connected by a bond of sympathy. many times a day i realize how much my own outer and inner life is built upon the labors of my fellow men, both living and dead, and how earnestl
