“What should I say? What if I say something wrong?” Hey, it’s really not your fault our society is so death-and-grief-phobic. No one ever taught you how to be with someone who is grieving. Here are seven things not to say, along with better ways of saying them.

1. “You must have tons of free time now.” There is a 99.99% chance that the person you’re talking to would much rather be using that time to earn a paycheck. While it can be tempting to say this in an attempt to look on the bright side and make your friend feel better, you should avoid bringing free time up at all.

Are there any naysayers in your life? Someone who is perhaps discouraging you from pursuing your goals and dreams? Someone who is keeping you from achieving your highest potential?

1. Pony up for quality where it counts. The cheapest option isn’t always the best option. What’s the point of buying a cheap pair of shoes if they’re just going to become worn out and rugged within a few months?

My mind wanted to react and I felt a thought form: “What an a**hole!” But I resisted the temptation and instead, took a deep breath and remained fully present in that moment.

1. You think that cramming will work You may think that intensive revision during a long period of time will be effective. It is actually a waste of time and energy. Studying for long hours will tire your brain and there is no guarantee that you will remember the facts in the long term, although in the short term, you might.

I’m pretty good at spotting them, and here’s how you can to. I’ve also mentioned the solution to each bad quality for you to feast upon. 1. They won’t do anything that’s not recommended online.

These travelers are far from being spontaneous, they take too long toto make plans and generally are annoying....

Fox are just some of the funny people that Canada has so generously donated to make the rest of the world laugh. What more could you ask for? 2. How to be cold, constantly. Canada is a cold, cold place. The record low temperature in Toronto in January was -24 degrees Fahrenheit....
Brushing our teeth has become second nature, but we might not have stopped to think about how essential a tool toothbrush has become in our lives in these modern times. It is one of the few things we can’t do without in our everyday life. We rely upon the toothbrush heavily for our dental care. But, what do you really know about your toothbrush?
