4 . Self-discipline(自律能力) is our ability to control our urges and distractions long enough to achieve our goals.
Avoid Temptation(诱惑). When it comes to self-discipline, it’s best that we stay away from what can take us away from our goal. If we are trying to quit smoking, it’s important to stay away from people who regularly smoke cigarettes.
Reward Good Behavior. Unfortunately, we’re usually better at punishing ourselves for poor behavior than rewarding good behavior. From now on, we need to start giving ourselves praise when we stay on track to meet our goals. And the rewards don’t have to be large or expensive.
We all can benefit from perfecting our self-discipline. Using tips to be disciplined in life will not only help with productivity, it also benefits our overall wellness and ability to connect with others.

5 . China is betting on its successful hybrid rice varieties to fight food shortage in Africa. “We're no longer suffering from hunger,” 55-vear-old Georges Ranaivomanana, a Madagasean farmer who took the lead in planting Chinese hybrid rice in his town of Mahitsy. Georges told Xinhua that he hoped that all Madagascan farmers would use the seeds to raise their living standards.
China has been helping African countries develop productive rice farming for years with its hybrid rice. For farmers on the continent like Ranaivomanana, they are “very grateful” to the Chinese as the hybrid rice is the key to better food security and higher incomes.
In May, the China National Hybrid Rice Research and Development Centre opened a research centre in Madagascar to select hybrid rice varieties based on the island nation's diverse ecological environment, in an effort to find more productive crops for a continent long troubled by insufficient grain output.
In the northwestern Nigerian state of Kebbi, Chinese expert Wang Xuemin stood in a rice field, surrounded by green rice plants, “This year, we are using a new technology,” he said, adding that it “can significantly reduce labor and other costs.” “The land, climate and rice farming methods in Nigeria are very different from those in China. We had a lot of problems at the beginning,” said the 51-year-old who has been in Nigeria for 16 years.
In 2006, after Wang and his colleagues had sown the seeds, their field management techniques and large-scale farming equipment could not adapt to the operating environment and hundreds of hectares of rice fields were almost completely taken over by weeds. “We came to realize that blindly copying the Chinese model is not feasible(可行的). It is necessary to constantly innovate our techniques to fit the local situation in Africa,” he said.
After more than ten years of research and innovation, the Nigerian farm now becomes a major training and mechanized production centre in the country, training more than 1,000 farmers and agricultural machinery management staff.

6 . Mr. Jafri is a 44-year-old artist from England. In 2020, as COVID-19 spread and many countries went into lockdown, Mr. Jafri was in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Rather than feeling stuck because he was unable to move on. Mr. Jafri decided to take on a huge project that could “make a really big difference”.
He decided to create the world’s largest painting. And he wanted to do it in a way that would involve people from around the world. He asked children who are fond of drawing to send him pictures showing how they were feeling during the pandemic (流行病). He got artwork from kids in 140 different countries. Using the children’s ideas as a starting point. Mr. Jafri began to paint.. .
Mr. Jafri hoped that his painting, called “The Journey of Humanity”, would help bring the world together during the difficult time. He tried to keep the ideas from the children’s pictures in his mind. He even included the children’s drawings in the artwork.
When he finished the painting in September. 2020. he had set a Guinness World Record for the world’s largest painting. The painting was roughly the size of four basketball courts. Since Mr. Jafri’s goal was to raise money to help children. the painting was split up into large sections, Mr. Jafri hoped that by selling the sections separately, he could raise $ 30 million. But when the auction (拍卖) ended on March 22.2021.Mr.Jafri did much better than that. And he didn’t have to split up the pieces. The whole artwork was sold for $ 62 million.
Andre Abdoune, an influential French businessman. purchased all 70 sections of canvases (画布).“I was impressed by the visual effects of the painting when I saw it,” Mr.Abdoune said. ”And for me, it would have been a mistake to separate the pieces.”
Knowing that the money would go to charity also helped Mr. Abdoune decide to pay more. He says he was poor in childhood, so he’s glad to help children around the world by buying the giant painting. He plans to build a special exhibition hall to show the artwork off.
