2 . Have you ever stopped to think about your life goals? Life goals are the things you’d like to achieve, in order to be satisfied with your future and who you become. Luckily for you, this passage is all about how to set life goals that will set you up for a life of success.

Find what you love doing. If you do a job you really don’t like, you may feel like you are wasting your time and doing nothing useful. Luckily, it’s never too late to find your true hobbies and turn them into something more. Be honest about what you enjoy and what you don’t. Listen to your instincts (本能) and you’ll find it.

Start taking care of yourself. Let this be one of the personal goals you set: to finally make more time for yourself. Start saying “no” when you don’t want to do something. And say “yes” to the desires (渴望) that you’ve been hiding deeply for so long. Self care is a way of life. It can begin by writing a journal and experiencing all the healthy benefits it brings.

Learn to give. Another one of the examples of life goals worth setting is about giving, because it’s true that the more you give, the more you will get in return. Giving means leaving behind your own wants and needs to see if you can be of help to others.

The pupils and teachers at Fairfield School think it’s necessary to protect the environment! This is what they’ve been doing.

Recycling

Finding cleaner ways to get around

Everyone walks or rides a bike to Fairfield School! “It’s faster to ride bikes than to drive anyway, even the teachers don’t use their cars.” says one pupil.

9 . Being outgoing is good for your life. Those more outgoing people like to meet lots of interesting people and have more fun in life. In fact, being outgoing is not so hard as you think. Even the shy people can be outgoing.

You can start becoming outgoing with your best friend or a group of friends. But the real challenge (挑战) comes when you meet strange (陌生的) people or new friends. Smile more, and usually they will return (回报) your smile. In this way, you may have some talks.

Start a talk. Just a simple “Hello” or “How is it going” is a good start. If you want to make interesting talks, you should read the news and prepare (准备) your views. Surf the Internet for new information and then keep that in mind.

The easiest way to become more outgoing is to go out. This is also the most important step. Go to a park, beach, club, party or any other place that you think can be fun, and you may make new friends there.

10 . There are lots of things that cause stress in our lives, such as school problems, arguments with friends and sometimes bad feelings about ourselves. We all experience stress at times, but it’s important to manage it properly and reduce its influence. Here are some helpful tips for dealing with stress.

Sometimes we feel stressed without understanding the reason. So whenever you are stressed, you should stop and think. What is really happening? How can you improve the situation? Try keeping a diary about your problems and the possible causes.

Do you always wait until Sunday evening to do homework? This bad habit can cause “last-minute” stress, as well as poor grades. To avoid that, time arrangement is greatly needed. Plan your studies and other activities with a calendar. You can also divide big projects into smaller tasks. In this way, you will always know how much time you really have.

Besides, healthy habits are very important for reducing stress. Be sure to eat healthy meals and get at least eight hours of sleep. Avoid checking your mobile phone or using the computer before bedtime. It will keep you awake!

When you are feeling stressed, it’s helpful to speak to someone who understands your situation, such as your friends and family. Sometimes it’s enough to talk about your problems and share your feelings. Other times, however, you might need advice or suggestions. Don’t keep your worries to yourself.

Finally, relaxation is important. Find some free time for activities that you enjoy, such as sports, hobbies and meeting with friends. For example, seeing a film or handing out after 5 days’ study could be a good choice. If you find some time to relax and enjoy yourself, you will feel refreshed, have more energy, and reduce your level of stress.
