【推荐2】Becoming a self-actualized person means becoming someone who has reached their full potential (潜力) .College is where you can explore and slowly build yourself into the kind of person you want to be. Here’s some advice that will make the journey easier for you.

Take care of yourself before anything. Reaching your full potential is the final level of Maslow’s Hierarchy of needs (马斯洛需层次理论) .     1     Things like eating healthy food and keeping yourself safe need to be taken care of before your exploration of personal growth.

Never stop learning. Learning doesn’t stop when you leave college. In fact, you should make it a point to keep learning as long as you’re alive. Whatever job you choose, there’s always going to be new knowledge.     2    

Find something fun in everything. It’s fine to admit that certain topics are difficult to understand immediately. But considering them as boring will only annoy you and make the learning process harder.     3     No topic will be boring if you treat it with the right attitude.

    4     Without organizational skills, you cannot make good arrangements and finish tasks on time. You need to learn how to manage your time because this will give you enough space to study for college, and then have enough free time for your own hobbies outside of school.

Reaching your full potential is an ongoing life-long process.     5     If you give yourself enough time and space, you’ll realize your full potential as you grow and learn.

【推荐3】We all have problems and barriers (障碍) that prevent us from moving into new areas. When someone meets the problem which he can’t get over, he usually turns away and starts walking along a different path. Unluckily, soon he may get into another similar one. In this way, his life stays inside the same old cycles, in which he is unlikely to make progress or keep learning.

While others deal with problems by loving them instead of hating them. The word “love” means accepting your problems. The more we deny (否定) a problem, the stronger it seems to become. Only when we accept the fact can we find the useful ways to deal with it.

Suppose one of your barriers is taking a final exam. You fear that you will forget everything that you have remembered. One way of dealing with it is to pretend (假装) that you are not afraid—tell yourself “I’m not going to be scared ”and then try to force a smile on your face.

But compared with that, loving your fear actually works better. You just need to say to yourself, “I’m scared. But I’m going to take it easy. It is not only a problem, but also a chance for me to make progress.” By doing that, you allow yourself to be afraid and you can have a right understanding to your problem. You welcome your problem and face it in an active way. So there’s no doubt that you are more likely to overcome it completely.

It is impossible to live a life without problems. Loving them doesn’t mean hiding them. Instead, it means admitting the truth about them. This helps us take effective (有效的) actions, which can free us from the problems once and for all.

【推荐1】Skip the West End and discover some exciting, theatrical treasures—maybe in a pub or under a railway station—in one of London’s many alternative theatres. If you want to experience the glorious rush of discovering a five-star show in a 50-capacity auditorium, for a £ 10 ticket, off-West End is the way to go.

Theatre 503

Through the always-buzzing Latchmere Pub, up a very narrow staircase, and beyond a dinky foyer(门厅), you will find yourself at Theatre 503. It can hold 63 people at a time, which is a tight squeeze even then. But it’ s well worth the intimacy(亲密感) that you’ll necessarily share with your neighbour for the outstanding productions.

King’s Head Theatre

Perhaps the perfect example of London pub theatre, the King’s Head has been in business since the 1970s. The King’s Head is consistent only in its stubborn refusal to be pigeonholed or, indeed to be made into anything else. It feels like London theatre’s uncle who still wears ripped jeans and listens to cool music, refusing to give up its idealistic integrity for something perhaps more sensible but far less fun.

Soho Theatre

An institution that hardly needs introducing, Soho Theatre has been at the forefront for new writing and comedy for decades, producing some of the most exciting new talent on the scene today. As the name suggests, the theatre sits in the centre of Soho, and its bar has become a hub for artists and audiences alike.

Vaults Theatre

A truly unique place made up of eleven disused train tunnels below Waterloo station, with an atmosphere all of its own. Not only is Vaults Theatre home to some of the most thrilling immersive and alternative theatre, it’s also leading the way in accessibility, offering a pay-what-you-can ticket price on Wednesdays and Sundays as of Autumn 2022.

【推荐3】Thanksgiving brings to mind the golden roast Turkey, sweet pumpkin pie, and the smell of happiness in the air as families sit down to a big meal. There's no better time to watch a classic Thanksgiving movie.

Charlie Chaplin as the Little Tramp eats his shoe for Thanksgiving dinner while trapped in a snowstorm in this attractive silent film classic from 1925. Watch this one if you're in the mood to see a leather shoe prepared and eaten as if it were a delicious turkey. Make you grateful for what you have!

The movie focuses on the relationship between Frank (Al Pacino), a blind, retired captain in the US army who is difficult to get along with, and Charlie (Chris O'Donnell), a prep school student who takes the job as Frank's assistant for Thanksgiving.

This John Hughes comedy starring Steve Martin and John Candy is already a Thanksgiving classic for many. Neal (Martin) ends up rerouted because of a snowstorm. As he struggles to find a way home for Thanksgiving, he gets stuck with irresistibly positive Del (Candy).

Meryl Streep was nominated (提名) for an Academy Award for her performance in this movie as a wife and mom who struggles with cancer. Renée Zellweger plays the grown daughter who has to come home to help with the holidays. The two try to hold the family together, especially during a tense Thanksgiving meal when guests get all the attention.
