Pay careful attention to the signs that tell you that you arc under more stress than you can cope with. These signals came from various areas of life. You become ill, or your work efficiency decreases.

Successful people ail have their own places where they can withdraw in order to work. Find out which places improve your creativity. For me it's the train.

In the English Reading Week, one of m classmates recommended a quote to us which goes like this : “Your future depends on many things but mostly on you. “ I can?t agree more with this view. It?s true that our future is determined by many things, such as opportunities and help from others, but our own attitude, determination, and hard work play a more important role. In other words, we are the master of our own future.
Take Abraham Lincoln, for example. He was born in a poor family, and only received a limited education in his childhood. Yet through his painstaking efforts, he changed not only his own fate but also the history of America. Even to this day, Lincoln is regarded as one of the most inspiring figures in the world. Therefore, I firmly believe that our future is in our own hands.
