All You Need to Know About Being Thankful

Wise men say that the key to happiness and peace in life is being thankful. Being thankful is more than just saying 'thanks' or 'thank you' to people who have done you a favor. It is having gratitude in your heart at all times - be it in times of sorrow.

Keep a gratitude journal - Don't let the day pass without listing down all the things that happened within the day. Define which of them you're thankful for. You might start being thankful only for the positive things in your life. But through time, you will develop gratitude and see the positive even in the negative things happening around you.

Use your heart - Oftentimes, the heart sees more than what the eyes can see. According to Antoine de Saint-Exupery in the "The Little Prince", it is only with the heart that one can see rightly, what is essential, what is invisible to the eye. If you're plagued by problems, think of all the positive traits you could develop from going through all of them.

Be conscious of your language - There is power in your words. Instead of complaining, have a conscious effort to utter thankfulness in every situation you're in. Words of appreciation and gratitude can alter your perceptions in life and stop the fear that's paralyzing your actions.

Give back; pay it forward - Have you ever sincerely thanked someone in the past who has helped you a lot? Pay her a visit. Apart from thanking her personally, do or give something that can help solve any of her problems or make her feel comfortable. You can also pass on the kindness you have received to other people. Doing this is a great gesture of gratitude. Moreover, this can be taken as an inspiration by others to do good.

Online Classrooms vs. Physical Classrooms

Going to school means sleepless nights for learners as they do their assignments and prepare everything they need so they won't be late for class. Everyday commute is one of the tough stuff every student needs to take care of, especially if they don't have a car of their own. If you live in a place where there is high traffic all the time, then you need to prepare all the more. That's for those who go to out to attend traditional schooling.

You can study in your pajamas, no need to hop in the car and drive long hours. Now that's a different way to go to school isn't it? There's a huge difference when it comes to virtual and traditional education. You just need to pick which one works best for you. Both allows you to ...

On Real Books And Ebooks

I may have been a fan of the traditional book, but I cannot deny the fact that I also love to read books using my Kindle especially when I travel. This offers a lot of convenience on my end because I do not need to carry a full bag of books, I just have to bring my electronic book reader with me when I go out. :) But when I prefer to stay at home especially during weekends and holidays, I still hold a real book. That enables me to save on electricity costs as well, since I need to charge my Ebook reader so I can use it again as opposed to the traditional book . With the real one, you can just flip the pages and not worry about grabbing the charger next to you. All you need is a well lit place so you can read the contents. What about you? Which would you prefer? A real book or an electronic one?
