1 . Questions You Must Answer to Find Your True Path in Life

Walking the path of life is no more different than exploring uncharted territories, many of us stop occasionally and ask ourselves questions such as: “Am I doing this right? How do I know this is what has to be done?     1    ” If you’d like to get to find your true path in life, here are some questions you’ll have to answer.

· Why do you want to find your true path in life?

One thing is clear that you want to bring some changes to your life. Being honest about why you want to achieve that can provide you with a powerful incentive (激励) that will drive you towards your goals. Write down the things that cross your mind when you think of your whys.     2     You are a unique person with unique needs and wishes.

·     3    

Is this your authentic (真正的) need or is it something that is trendy and you want to try it out? Ask yourself this question whenever you catch that “I’m a little bit bored right now” thought. Maybe you don’t need to bring radical changes into your life. Remember that how we approach certain obstacles can define how we feel when trying to overcome them.

·What is important to me?

You can start by writing down what is important to you.     4     Take your time. My advice is to start with simpler things, for instance, working out regularly, spending quality time with friends and family, learn to play an instrument etc. From there you can work on more sophisticated ideas, becoming more tolerant and accepting.

· Am I self-aware?

Do you value constructive criticism? Are you always honest? If your answer to these questions is no, then you need to work on your self-awareness.

    5     Finding your true path in life is a slow process. Finally, let me finish by a quote, “To conquer oneself is a greater task than conquering others.”

A．Is this my choice?

B．What responsibilities should you take?

C．Don’t make your list in just one sitting.

D．Your reasons should be important only for you.

E．If not, is there a guide I can read and memorize?

F．This is because it can apply to every aspect of your life

G．Don’t worry if you are unable to answer these questions right this very moment.

2 . When will the man clean up his room?

3 . For anyone who has exercised for some purposes, you probably have experienced disappointment and even a sense of lack of fulfillment.     1     Below are just some of the many reasons why you should exercise every day.

    2    

One of the biggest reasons is that it helps in weight loss. Exercising every day helps you burn a lot of calories. It also helps in toning (调整) your body and giving it a better appearance.

Regular exercise gives you better sleep quality

Sleep is very important because it enables your minds to rest for a while and this helps you reenergize. However, while you may be able to sleep, the quality of sleep you get might not always be the best.     3     It helps you increase your body’s physical activity so that you fall asleep faster and even more soundly.

Regular exercise increases your endurance

Exercising regularly will make it easier for you to work harder for a longer period without feeling fatigued. Whenever you’re under physically stressful circumstances, it’s only natural for your bodies to get tired because there is a shortage in the amount of oxygen that fuels your muscles.     4    

Exercising every day increases your brain function

When you exercise daily, you are able to boost the power of your brain and your memory.       5     The best part is that for you to achieve this, you don’t have to do tough exercises out there. You can just do moderate or light ones and achieve the same.

A．Regular exercise helps you lose weight.

B．Exercising every day can help with this.

C．This lessens your chances of falling into depression.

D．Some people look at it as hard work because it gets you all tired.

E．Exercise, therefore, enables your muscles to get the fuel they need.

F．Reminding yourself of its benefits, however, will help you stay motivated.

5 . We all do procrastination (拖延). No matter how well-organized you are, chances are that you have found yourself wasting hours on small pursuits when you should have been spending that time on school-related projects.     1     However, do they really work?

Knee-jerk reaction and recommendations to procrastination can focus on making lists, downloading apps, setting timers, etc. If simply making a list could solve the problem of procrastination, then there wouldn’t be so many articles on it or conversations about it with doctors.     2    

When we look at a task, such as doing homework or preparing a presentation, we do an internal assessment.     3     If not, our brain center responds by telling our body to avoid the situation causing us anxiety. In this way, procrastination will provide us with a circle-stressful task, perceived threat, but once the task is finished, you will feel better. This is a short-term solution in fact. Then, ultimately we want to finish a work and feel good, what can we do?

    4     That’s because we live in a busy world where tasks will roll your way. Be aware that you are procrastinating and don’t pile up the act of procrastination with the act of self-deception (欺骗). Know yourself and your moods. Scheduling tasks during times of high energy will help us be most productive and lessen the opportunity for procrastination.     5     If you are motivated by funny stickers on your papers, then you should pair the rewarding activity with the task you have been procrastinating.

A．Learn from negative thoughts.

B．What’s more, reward yourself after the task.

C．It means a mismanagement of your emotions.

D．Procrastination frequently happens in daily life.

E．Therefore, we need to figure out its internal roots.

F．If the task is easy to handle, we can do it as soon as possible.

G．Fortunately, you will find many ways to deal with procrastination online.
