As you wake up in the morning, are you sure that the sun will continue to rise in the east and sets in the west? When your day starts with a nice one, would you believe that no conflicts will come to suppress your luckiness?You are,indeed, not sure for no one lives with certainty.
Every day is another day. So, it means that we are not going to engaged with the situations of yesterdays. We are going to face a new day to build a new experience. We are going to be set on a new situation to learn more things. We are not certain on how things go on. So, people always looked back with a puzzled face.
We never know when we started to fall in love. We don't know when the feelings that we have fade away. We don't know when we started to be hurt and heal. There are no clues when life begins and how would it end. We may feel happiness but time will turn everything to sadness. If the poor thinks that their life is not going to somewhere good, they should stop thinking that. The circle of life continues to move until one day, the people on the other side may also take the chance to live life different from what they are used to be.
We should always learn on how to be strong. Take all the consequences because we are the ones making our fate.

STOP ARGUING WITH YOUR PARENTS NOW!
Do you and your parents constantly argue? Did you know that arguing leaves you feeling stressed? Of today's generation, you can't count on how many children argue with their parents. I also encounter this within our neighborhood. Arguing is like running on a treadmill. You will expend a lot of energy but you won't go anywhere. But you can avoid arguing with your parents if you try these 4 steps.
1. Think before you respond.
When you feel you're under attack, do not talk of the first thing that comes to your mind. Don't make an impulsive reply. Try to perceive the feeling behind your parent's words. Never respond with sarcasm.
2. Speak respectfully.
Learn on how to speak quietly and slowly. Avoid making unnecessary facial expressions that may give an indication of annoyance. If you feel you're about to lose control, offer a silent prayer to God to maintain your self-control and don't add fuel to the fire.
3. Listen.
If you talk too much, you might say the wrong thing. So make sure that you give your parents the chance to speak . Set aside the things that you are doing and maintain eye contact. Don't interrupt to justify your actions. Just listen. After they talked, you'll have plenty of opportunities to explain your viewpoint.
4.Be willing to apologize.
It is appropriate to say "I'm sorry". If you think you find it hard to do this face-to-face, try to express your feelings with a note.
You can also use the following steps when you argue with your siblings, friends and even with your classmates. Express yourself in a normal conversation. Before the day ends, try to make peace with the person you argued with.
