If one of your habits is driving others crazy, you

need a strategy to break your unconscious bad

habit. First, you need to be aware that you do have a

bad habit. Simply being aware can lead the strong-

willed to actually break bad habits, but for most of

us it takes more than that. For instance, smokers are

aware (a) their habit is bad and is

killing them, but they cannot give it up. (A)

Why is it so hard for people to break bad habits

even though they are consciously aware of the

habits? (B) It lies in the fact that most people pick up a bad habit because it

benefits them in some way. For instance, smokers can feel that his or her stress

is being relieved. (C) Smokers are not easily convinced of any long-term

damage (b) in fact he or she is getting a short-term benefit fromsmoking. (D)

In such cases (c) bad habits are truly difficult to break, you can

consult professionals. (E) They can help reprogram the unconscious part of the

mind, linking unsavory feelings to the unwanted behavior and forming new

habits to deal with stressful or boring situations.

Many adults frequently ask children what they want to be when they grow up.

People have been asking you this question ever since you were a little kid. As a

child goes through the education system, the question changes but

. People will ask you what you want to major in at

college, where you want to go to school and what you want to do with the rest

of your life. At times youll feel like saying: How in the world should I know?

Im only 18!

While making a career decision is tricky,

dont get too stressed out. Try to decide on

something you would like to do, not just

something you think will offer you job

security, a fat pay check, or prestige. All of

those are subject to change. Do what you

want to, and dont worry about the rest!

Another thing to remember is that your decision will not be permanent.

According to the U.S. Department of Labor, the average college graduates

change their jobs once every three years and change career fields two or three

times in their lifetime. Non college graduates change their careers even more

often. So, dont assume that your first career decision will determine your job

for the rest of your life.

Happiness does not result from being successful.

In contrast you need to be happy to achieve

success. If you enjoy your job, you will be

successful, said Dr. Albert Schweitzer, winner of

the Nobel Peace Prize in 1952.

Happy people have certain characteristics that separate them from unhappy

people. Happy people are passive and peaceful rather than aggressive and

violent. They are always optimistic about their life and their chances of

succeeding at a task. They are extroverted and gregarious rather than introverted

and shy. These characteristics seem to have a healthy side-effect: they boost the

immune system.

Happy people neither hold back nor hide their joy. They chuckle and giggle to

their pleasure with life. They reveal their true selves to others.When others compliment them, they accept it with pleasure and feel they

deserve it. If they want to share their pleasure, they do (a) .

Violence in schools has been increasing at unprecedented rates. Last year, there

were many incidents of school violence in the news. The situation is starting to

get out of control and we need to act to bring it under control. Most people

believe the juvenile penal system can solve the problem of increasing violence.

But it cannot! We are currently putting more and more juveniles in jail, but

school violence is not decreasing.

Why dont many children feel safe at school?

Most schools do not have plans to prevent

violence. They only have plans to expel those

who are violent and threaten others. It is time to

put money into preventing violence. We must

learn to intervene before violence breaks out.

One of the several ways to do this is to have immediate and easy access tomental health services for all troubled youth and their families. And we can also

consider early screening of children with behavior problems to determine the

services that are needed.

While we can continue to spend money on trials and jails, we must also put

more money into prevention through for troubled

youth and their families.

More and more youths are being treated by doctors for

sleeping problems which prevent them from getting

adequate amounts of rest. An increasing number of

teens are also adopting busy lifestyles and ignoring their

biological need for sleep. Adolescents need nine hours

of sleep, but those (a) from the

disorders often get much less. It has been shown by

some researchers that the average youth gets about six and a half hours of sleep

on a school night. A few high school students often get a lot less than six.

Experts also agree that adolescent sleep disorders can be a result of irregular

sleeping patterns. Biologically youths are programmed to stay up late and

(b) late. Unfortunately, that is not the schedule of the

schools in their life. And teens try to catch up on their sleep during the

weekends, oftentimes sleeping into the afternoon.

Adolescent sleep disorders can have negative effects on memory and creativity,

which in turn could cause problems with learning abilities. Furthermore, it

affects their emotions causing them to be unpredictably bad-tempered. Lastly,

the lack of sleep affects their ability to fight off diseases because it weakens

their immune systems, leaving them susceptible to colds and other viral

infections.

Depression is widespread throughout society. It can affect teenagers and

seniors, males and females, and people of any race.

While depression is not a normal part of the aging process, there is a strong

correlation between depression and people who are suffering from life-

threatening diseases. Tragically, the elderly (A) from

depression are often ignored since people tend to think their feelings are natural

and a normal part of aging. However, clinical depression is never a normal

response; it is a serious medical illness that should be treated at any age.

Though depression is a serious medical condition, only

3% of the elderly (B) for mental

health problems get professional help for their

condition. Many elderly dont think their depression is

serious enough for them to seek professional help. Mostelderly people feeling (C) very

Ones emotions are a form of information. Others can tell a lot about you by

understanding your emotions. And others can also influence you greatly by how

well they use their own emotions. Comprehending and using emotions is what

emotional intelligence is all about. We need emotional intelligence for many

things, among which making good decisions and reacting to others stick out the

most.

You are in a shop and you are just about to

buy, but then you decide not to buy

because you dont like the salesmans

attitude. So you walk away. You have used

your emotional intelligence, and the

salesman has failed to use his.

When trying to convince others its often better to use your emotions not your,often loud, voice. There are countless times when we try to reach others and

make them understand something. At those times, nothing works better than

appealing to the others emotions. To convince another person, show respect

and show youre concerned and caring.

Some professors lower their voices when they are about to deliver the most

important information of their lectures. They dont shout it out. They show

respect for their students and speak softly. There is no need to carry a big stick.

Students will know the professors are respecting them and they will tune in.

This is using the emotional intelligence.

Many scholars have this belief that advanced sailing techniques helped the

ancient empire of Greece rise to power in the eighth century B.C. (a) Greece is

located in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea. This means that Greece was

right at the crossroads of many ancient shipping paths. (b) From Greece one can

head for Africa, the Middle East and even to the western tip of Europe.

In addition to its location, Greece is made

up of hundreds of small islands. Traveling

to and from these islands naturally

requires a boat. (c) The fact that the Greek

mainland is quite mountainous resulted in

its people living on its coasts. As farming

such a country is difficult, people must

turn to the seas for their livelihood, and in order to exploit the seas it is natural

to develop navigating skills. (d) There are other countries for whom necessitywas the mother of invention, and there are some modern-day parallels to Greece.

(e) Greece was amongst the first nations to build ships that could transport large

quantities of goods, and established ports in faraway places such as Persia and

India. As an important trading and shipping nation, Greece held tremendous

power over other civilizations in its time.

If you are dieting, you obviously want to eat foods

which your body will burn off or metabolize the

fastest. Metabolism refers to how ones body

digests and makes energy out of food. People with

a faster metabolism can eat more because they

burn up food faster than other people. Certain foods can increase ones

metabolism and also help (A) up calories faster.

What are the foods which will increase your metabolism helping you lose

weight faster? The best metabolism (B) foods are those

which have a lot of protein in them. For instance, there are meats such as lean

beef, chicken breast and fish. Milk, cheese and eggs also have a lot of protein in

them. So foods with a lot of these ingredients will boost your metabolism.

Not only will these high quality proteins help you boost your metabolism, but

many natural carbohydrates will also do the same thing. Wheat, barley and oats

are all good sources of natural carbohydrates. Vegetables and fruits are also

high in carbohydrates.

Spices which flavor your food are also good for increasing your metabolic rate.

Spices such as hot peppers raise your body temperature. (C)

your bodys temperature results in a higher metabolism, and therefore more

calories are being burned. So now you have another reason for choosing those

spicy dishes you like so much.

Human motivation is a response that

our body has to some form of either

internal or external stimulation. (A)

Stimuli are all those things going on

inside and outside a person. (B) When

we are hungry, a stimulus, we become

motivated to eat. (C) The goal is to end

hunger so we are motivated to eat

something. (D) Every action in life needs a motivation. (E) It is of the utmost

importance for everyone to establish aims and purposes for their life.

We may not need to set a goal to eat, sleep or drink. Those are internal

stimulations. But for external motivations, we certainly do. If a person is

motivated to lose weight, he or she must set a goal of losing 2 kilograms.

Without goals, we really cant begin to get motivated. As humans, we need tohave a reason to do something. That is how our brain works.

Establishing a target is only half the battle. We need a plan of how to get to the

target. So, for the person who sets the goal of losing 2 kilos, he needs to plan to

run every morning for an hour. We should concrete steps to get there without

giving up when things dont happen quickly and easily.
