For many of us, being alone is a negative state of being, implying isolation, being on the outside. Even further, it may imply that there is something actually wrong with a person who remains alone.     1     However, once mastered, it serves as the cornerstone for your development and growth as a human being.

Aloneness enhances your creativity.     2     When you are alone, you are more likely to stay true to yourself and try new things that you don't have the courage to do around others. Picasso or Van Gogh wouldn't have created the masterpieces if they hadn't taken enough solitary(独处的)time to experiment regardless of others' thoughts.

Being alone also prevents you from burning out. Sometimes you may wonder why you easily feel tired. One reason could be not giving yourself enough solitary time. Especially for people who go to work every day, it is unavoidable to feel exhausted when you have to deal with work, family, and your own passions at the same time.     3     It doesn't matter how you choose to spend those moments alone. As long as they relieve your stress, they're worthwhile.

    4     When you take time to understand yourself, pursue your personal growth, and follow your dreams, you'll definitely discover the truth about yourself. Regardless of how well you may think you know yourself, learning how to be alone will allow you to deepen your self-awareness.

Being alone makes you a more creative person and helps with personal growth.     5    

A.But it's necessary to learn how to be alone.
B.Learning to be alone therefore sounds scary.
C.Aloneness is often associated with mad artists.
D.How about giving yourself a few solitary moments?
E.It frees us from the limits of the world's opinions.
F.Self-exploration is perhaps the biggest benefit of aloneness.
G.So spend some time alone today to become a brighter and better person.

【推荐2】As a child, Obaida Omar fled the enemy's invasion of her native Afghanistan, walking for weeks through the mountains.

"During the day we had to hide in the villages because of the bombing," said Omar, now a mother of three and Islamic Center of Rochester board member. "I walked on dead bodies. And up till today, it still troubles me a lot when I think back."

The Yellow Jackets kicked the night off with a selection of lively songs, designed to entertain their audience.

The Sihir belly dancing group﹣an Arabic dance also performed, with pride and authority in their costumes of shining gold and bright coral colors.

"We've been planning this for two months now. It feels wonderful to see such an amazing turnout," said Alzaid. "It reminds me that there is still humanity in each and every one of us."

On the whole, the dinner was a success. The audience was also full of praise.

"It's putting faces to the things we always hear about," sophomore Gabby Stillman said. "It brings back that human element and makes you remember that we're all the same."

文章大意:这是一篇说明文,作者结合自身经历说明离职并不一定意味着与前公司和前老板断绝联系,对于好的公司和老板,离职后也可以保持联系,有时也可以是一个新领域的合作。

【推荐3】You’ve reached that special time — you are getting ready to leave your job and move on to the next step in your career. But the end of an employment relationship is not necessarily the end of the relationship — with either the leader or the company.     1    

I learned this relatively early in my career. At first, I was concerned I might lose my relationship with my now former boss, as I truly liked him.    2    My boss enthusiastically stayed in touch with me, and I helped him onboard my replacement and consulted on other projects. And now, more than 2 decades since I left, we are still in communication and friends.

That isn’t to say it always goes like this. When I left another role, in spite of my desire to maintain communication, my former supervisor seemed indifferent and the relationship ended. Sometimes your boss was a nightmare and you want to end the relationship.     3     You don’t owe the bad bosses anything. That’s exactly what I did when I was fired from a freelance role after I asked to be paid for my completed work!

But for the good bosses and organizations, the ones that invested in your talent and celebrated your achievements, things are different.     4     The breakup can become a breakthrough.

    5     Especially when you have a truly delightful and respectful boss, you may feel guilt, sadness, or regret. But your overall responsibility is to yourself and your career — not to one organization. And given the right circumstances, it is almost always possible — and usually beneficial — to leave gracefully.

A.But it turned out I had no reason to fear.
B.So the way I left contributed to this breakup.
C.It’s completely understandable not to engage further.
D.It is normal to have mixed emotions when you leave a job.
E.Here are some ways to build a win-win with your former leader.
F.The concusion of the employment can start a new era of cooperation.
G.You can leave your company and keep the relationship at the same time.
