【推荐1】Most of us are filled with regrets. We wish we did things differently. If we could go back in time and change our actions or reactions, we would. But the truth is, what’s gone is gone.

What we have is the present moment and the good news is that it is never too late to change. So, stop complaining and asking, “How do I change for the better?”     1     .

(1).Train your brain to be optimistic.

Everything that life throws at us is not in our control.     2    . Would you rather be cynical (愤世嫉俗的) about the world or adopt a positive attitude and live a more peaceful life instead? Being optimistic is a step towards a happier you. In this imperfect world we live in , the least we can do is to have hope and believe that the best will happen.

(2).    3    

We are constantly progressing and there should never be an end to learning. Being lifelong learners opens us up to so many possibilities. It makes life exciting and lets us look beyond our preconceived (预想的) ideas.

(3). Treat people with respect.

    4    . You surround yourself with positive people who truly love and respect you and that certainly is a healthy environment to be in.

(4). Learn to forgive.

How do you forgive someone for wronging you? It takes great effort and courage to do so but it is important because if you don’t, you will just be holding on to too much anger and hurt which affect your mental health.     5    . Life is what we make of it-the choice is in our hands.

Coffee Valley is a small specialty coffee shop just a few minutes from Ikebukuro station. While the first floor has limited seating, there are outlets for each seat. If you don’t need to charge, the seating on the second floor is much more spacious. They have a good selection of pastries(甜点) and delicious snacks to choose from.

Alpha Beta Coffee Club is not just a great spot for third-wave coffee, it also has an open platform perfect for watching the sunset. Though this might be smaller than the other cafes on the list, the pastries are tasty and the waiters are friendly. They also have some power outlets. However, there’s a two-hour policy, so it isn’t the place for long stays.

10° Cafe is the perfect place for early birds. At 10° Cafe, each seat has power outlets while their counter seats offer a great view of the surrounding neighborhood. Their menu prices before 11 a.m. offer breakfast sets starting at ￥500, so if you’re on the hunt for a budget-friendly breakfast spot, this might just be the place.

Open from early in the morning to late in the evening, there are tables with power outlets and comfortable seating. It’s spacious with lots of natural light a few steps away from the upper floor lawn of Miyashita Park. There is a menu with tea, coffee and various sandwiches and bites.

The famous seasonal attraction is by far the largest ice and snow art exhibition in the world. The ice carvings at the Ice and Snow World are regarded some of the world’s finest examples of ice art. One of the highlights for visitors is the popular “super ice slide” attraction extended to 423 meters.

The ski resort provides great skiing with high mountains and good snow. The period from November to late March of the next year is the best time to ski at Yabuli Ski Resort. Built according to international standard, it provides an excellent environment for professional skiers. There is also a slide where visitors can enjoy sliding down from the top of the snowy mountain. Doing skiing on the slide is easy and safe, bringing visitors a thrilling experience.

It’s a good place for visitors to view the splendid snowscape. In winter, houses there are covered by snow with an average thickness of 6.6 feet, just like a white fairy wonderland. In addition to the beautiful natural scene, visitors can also enjoy the entertainment activities such as skiing, snowballing, and horse-sledding. At night, it must be an unforgettable experience to sleep on the traditional heated Kang bed piled up with bricks and warmed by fire in northern China.

Located at the bank of Songhua River, it is the first park in Harbin. The ice festival and the ice lantern show renowned at home and abroad are held every winter here. When the night falls, the ice lanterns in the park combine light, sound and action in one, brilliant with a great variety of colors. The charming scenery makes visitors immerse in fantasies and forget to return home.
