In books, you can learn from experience and emphasize something important for yourself.

Books: Power for students

Strange, but there are not so many who read books. For those who consider books to be the main source of knowledge, this is really strange. We will not take adults over 30. They do not have time for this. How they think. Let's talk about young people, let's call them students.

Students have free time. Everything fills it with something. Some are frankly bored, some watch TV and play games, and some constantly roam the streets. Why doesn't anyone sit in a chair with a smart book instead and try to change their life?
In my opinion, there are two reasons. Fear, insecurity, or constant procrastination. The student does not mind reading, but something stops him. Some kind of barrier. Or the well-known procrastination.The young man does not understand why reads books at all. What's the point of this?

Surely there are other reasons. I only brought two. In the first case, you need to overcome yourself. Take and start. And then get involved. The second is to understand that turning pages and peering at letters is extremely useful. There are many reasons to read. Hopefully, more than not read. We are talking about non-fiction literature, not fiction books. The latter is read mainly for entertainment.

I will tell you one reason why you should start reading. This reason is directly related to the idea of my blog.
By reading, you develop. From books you get information that can affect you, thereby changing your life for the better. This is self-development, and as for me, in its best form. There is nothing left. Understand that reading books affects life in general. positive and gradual. Don't believe? Try it!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
