Love and Friendship
They are both so much related to each other. And both are so dissimilar! What are the differences between friendship and love? Is platonic(柏拉图式的) friendship possible between persons of the opposite sex? _ _
What is friendship? Why do we call a person our friend? When do we call someone a very good friend? If we care for a person, if we are always ready to help that person and if we share most of our thoughts with a person, they are our good friends. We can always count upon our good friends in an emergency. We are always sure that our friends will understand why we acted in a certain way. The friendship is so deep and the relationship is so intimate, that most of the things are automatically understood by our friends.
_ _ In a relationship of deep love, all the sharing that we discussed above is taken for granted. But love transcends(超出) all this. During love, we are attached with a particular person, while in friendship, one may have many friends.

Tips for Successful Career Planning
Before we start Career Planning with anything, there are pretty a few points related to career planning that we need to look into. Consider these few easy points to help you choose what your plan of action should be towards shaping your future successfully.________
Simply put: what’s important to you? Do you value freedom? Do you like independence? Or working as a member of a team? Do you like structure? Or lack of structure? Working a lot of hours? Or working flexible hours? Do you want a job with a considerable paycheck? Or a job that provides significance to your life? These are all critical questions that you must be able to answer because they will affect both your short and long-term happiness. ________
Too often people choose the wrong careers because they don’t know the variety of jobs that exist within their field of study. Time spent properly studying the profession that you intend to undertake, and the field you wish to enter, is vital. Part of this study should include conducting informational interviews with people who do what you would like to do for a living, visiting websites that contain blogs that are written by people in your elected field, and reading employment magazines that contain stories about the movers and shakers in your industry.________
When choosing a career, think the sort of environment that you feel most joyful in. Are you the kind of person who works better with people or with objects? Do you prefer motion and activity, or calm and quiet? You’re more likely to do well in your career when you are in a comfortable environment.________
Build up a roadmap for your job and career achievement. A main part of career planning is setting short-term (in the coming year) and long-term (beyond a year) career and job aims. Once you begin this process, another part of career planning becomes reviewing and adjusting those aims as your career plans improvement or change — and developing new aims once you complete your earlier one.________
Simply put: there is no alternate for experience. You need to get as much of it as rapidly as you can. Interning is a win-win plan for you and a prospective employer because they get free labor, and you get valuable experience. Without this experience, you remain idealistic if not unrealistic about the true-to-life rigors of the profession, and of the industry you want to work in. Gaining experience will help to prove your interests and pursuits, or help to re-direct them.
These simple steps can help you get the maximum understanding with respect to how to start career planning ahead of time as to what can be a good career option for you and how you can go about it in the best possible way. Best of luck in all of your career efforts!

If your child has gone from a continuous chatterbox to making conversations that consist mostly of yes and no, it’s time to consider these tips on how to talk to kids, so you’ll know what’s going on in your child’s world.
The quickest way to get kids to shut up and, as a result, shut you out of their lives is to continuously press them about things. A more effective way is to sit back and patiently wait for them to open up in a low-stress family and then be prepared to listen.
Parents can sometimes make kids at a young age decide it is best not to talk about something when they are criticized. If you really want to know what’s on your child’s mind, then avoid passing judgment and focus instead on why something seems important to your child.
If you want to raise a creative and independent thinker, stop telling your child what he ought to feel or think. You can gently encourage additional conversations by simply asking why he feels the way he does or what he would do in a certain situation.
You may think you’re just asking questions out of curiosity when communicating with your child, but an endless stream of questions about what they did, whether everyone got along, if they went to the bathroom, etc., are enough to make anyone shut up! Practice patience and let your kids open up on their terms.
Kids can relate to you and other adults when you tell your stories happening when you were their age. Talking to kids by telling them about things like something embarrassing that happened or the first crush (迷恋) you had helps them to connect with you and understand that you might actually know what they are going through!
