How to Find Yourself
Do you often feel lost？Do you think you are living somebody else’s life? If yes, discover ways to find yourself by going through the following article.__________
If you are thinking, “how to find yourself when you are lost?”, then the first thing to do is to have a rest from everything—work, personal life and all worldly things. Give time to yourself to think why you seem lost. Is it because of over work? Is it because you are not leading a life that you want to? Or is it because you are not satisfied with the people or things around you? Try to find answers to these questions to determine the cause behind your restlessness. __________
For once, instead of being the way others want you to be, be yourself. Look within and find yourself in you. Think about the things that you would want to do if you didn’t have any family obligations or any money issues. Think about the kind of relationship you would want to be in, the place that you would like to stay in, the kind of lifestyle you would like to lead, if you didn’t have the society or people around you, judging all the time. If you really want to know how to find inner peace, then think, what you would want others to describe you as—an honest person? Or adventurous? Or loving, or realistic? Once you look within, you will know the answer and then try to be exactly that.__________
Thinking deeply about the past, the time or situations when you were the happiest, is another way to find yourself .Think what you were doing or with whom you were, when you were the happiest. This will help you to identify things that you want to do in life that make you happy and also certain people whose company you enjoy.__________
Knowing yourself and determining what you to do with your life will not come to you in a day or two. Discovering oneself is an ongoing process and it can take months or sometimes even years to truly find yourself. So, it’s important that you maintain a written record of all your feelings and thoughts, which you can go through at a later stage. Pour all your emotions and feelings about life in it and who knows may be one day going through it, you will find yourself.__________
Once you have discovered what you want to do with your life, make a move for change and self improvement. Even if it means taking up small things such as dancing or painting, go ahead and do it. If you want a career change, plan and take steps so that it can take place smoothly. If you are stuck in a bad relationship and find yourself unable to mend it, break away. At the beginning, you may find yourself slightly unbalanced, but with time everything will be fine.
It is very important for you to truly find yourself, before it is too late. If you do not find yourself now, you will spend your life with somebody you do not even know, i.e. yourself.

Tips for Cooking on a Tight Schedule
From my experience, there are three main reasons why people don't cook more often: ability, money, and time. Money is a topic I'll save for another day. So today I want to give you some wisdom about how to make the most of the time you spend in the kitchen. Here are three tips for great cooking on a tight schedule:
1.Think ahead. The moments when I think cooking is a pain are when I'm already hungry and there's nothing ready to eat. So think ahead of the coming week. When will you have time to cook? Do you have the right materials already?
2. Make your time worth it. When you do find time to cook a meal, make the most of it and save yourself time later on. Are you making one loaf of bread?It takes around the same amount of time to make more of something. So save yourself the effort for a future meal.
3.This may surprise you, but one of the best tools for making cooking worth your time is experimentation. It gives you the chance to hit upon new ideas and recipes that can work well with your appetite (食欲) and schedule. The more you learn and the more you try, the more ability you have to take control of your food and your schedule.
Hopefully that gives you a good start.And don't let a busy schedule discourage you from making some great changes in the way you eat and live!
| A．Try new things. |
| B．Ability is easily improved. |
| C．Make three or four instead. |
| D．Understand your food better. |
E. Cooking is a burden for many people.
F. Let cooking and living simply be a joy rather than a burden.
G. A little time planning ahead can save a lot of work later on.
The Winner’s Guide to Success
How do successful people think? What helps them to make success? To find out the answers, an American scholar recently visited some of the most successful people in America.
Be responsible for yourself
Sometimes you may want to blame others for your failure to get ahead. You’re saying, “You have more control over my life than I do.”
Live life “on purpose”
Almost all successful people live life “on purpose”— they are doing what they believe they should and want to do. When you live your life on purpose, you’ll try your best to do your job or study as well as you can. You love what you do and you can find pleasure in what you do.
Write a plan
It is very difficult trying to get what you want without a good plan. A good plan is like a map to you. Without this “map”, you may waste your time, money and also your energy; while with the “map” you’ll enjoy the “trip” and get what you want in the shortest possible time.
Be willing to pay the price
Nothing great is easy to get. So you must be ready to work hard — even harder than you have ever done. If you are not willing to pay the price, you won’t get anything valuable.
Never give upWhen you are doing something, you must tell yourself again and again: Giving up is worse than failure because failure can be the mother of success, but giving up means the death of hope.
Once an American writer was writing a novel. He could not have a good ending for his book until one night when he had a very good idea. He was so excited that he made a phone call to one of his best friends. “I’ve got a perfect idea,” he said, “I’ll put it down later and show it to you.” But he never did, because he died that night. His book was left without a perfect ending. So remember, do what you can right away. Never delay at all.
| A．It is just like trying to drive through strange roads to a city far away. |
| B．It seems to us that everyone knows this. But it is easier said than done. |
| C．Some people achieve success much later in life because they fail to realize earlier the importance of hard work. |
| D．In fact, when you say someone or something outside of yourself is stopping you from making success, you’re giving away your own power. |
E. Someone else’s opinion of you doesn’t have to become your reality.
F. Don’t delay
G. Here are some keys to success that they give.
How do you stay true to yourself when you’re surrounded by friends and/or family that have an opinion on everything you do? It’s not easy! Here are 4 tips which can help you live a dynamic life.
Stay true to yourself by listening to the only opinions that really matter－your own and those from people who believe in and encourage you. Deep down you know yourself better than anybody else.
Don't fear peopleThe reason most people don’t take risks, or live on the edge is the fear of what others might think of them. If you want to live the life you truly deserve, you must give up the need to be liked by everybody.
Value yourself and your choices
When you do, others will too. Own the choices you make in your life. When you believe in yourself, in time, others will believe in you too. Show confidence in your choices, and what you stand for whether others agree or not.
Focus on appreciation
No matter what the circumstances are, there is always something to be grateful for. All successful people ask, “What am I grateful for ? How can I improve my situation and use these tough times to inspire others?”
These steps, if applied, will help you transform your peace of mind, lifestyle, and productivity.

| C．Treat every person like they are important. |

Before going outside in the morning, many of us check a window thermometer for the temperature. This helps us decide what to wear. ____. We want our food to be a certain coldness in the refrigerator. We want it a certain hotness in the oven. If we don’t feel well, we use a thermometer to see if we have a fever. We keep our rooms a certain warmth in the winter and a certain coolness in the summer.
Not all the thermometers use the same system to measure temperature. We use a system called the Fahrenheit scale. But most other countries use the Centigrade scale.
Both systems use the freezing and boiling points of water as their guide. ____ .
The most common kind of thermometer is made with mercury(水银)inside a clear glass tube. As mercury (or any other liquid ) becomes hot, it expands. As it gets colder, it contracts(收缩). That is why on hot days the mercury line is high in the glass tube.______.
First. Take a clear glass juice bottle that has a cap ; fill the bottle with coloured water. Tap a hole in the center of the cap using a hammer and thick nail. Put the cap on the jar. Then stick a plastic straw(吸管) through the nail hole. _____. Finally. Place a white card on the outside of the bottle and behind the straw. Now you can see the water lever easily.
____. As the temperature goes down, the water will contract, and the lever in the straw will come down. Perhaps you will want to keep a record of the water lever in the straw each morning for a week.
| A．We use and depend on thermometers to measure the temperature of many other things in our daily lives. |
| B．Thermometers measure temperature, by using materials that change in the same way when they are heated or cooled. |
| C．Now that you know this rule you can make a thermometer of your own that will work. |
| D．The water will rise in the straw. As the temperature of the air goes up, the water will expand and rise even higher. |
E．They label these in different ways. On the Fahrenheit scale water freezes at 32 degrees and boils at 212 degrees. On the Celsius scale water freezes at 0 degrees and boils at 100 degrees.
F．Take wax (you may use an old candle if you have one) and melt some of it right where the straw is struck into the cap to seal（把......粘住) them together.
G．People use thermometers which are made by themselves when travelling around the world.
