The bar chart provides information about the number of distinct gadgets sold online over four months in 2019. Overall, while the sales of laptops and smartphones witnessed an increase, the reverse was true for tablets. Of particular note are laptops, which recorded by far the highest sales in January and April. Focusing on the retails of laptops and smartphones initially, the figure for the former stood at sharp 50 million in January, before a gradual decrease of 20 million in the following month. Having dropped to around 25 million in March, the number of laptops picked up to roughly 55 million, topping the list among other electronic devices. As for the smartphones, starting with merely 20 millions, the counts doubled to almost 50 million in February. Despite ranking first with 70 million in the third month, the figure for smartphones experienced a significant drop of 30 million. Regarding the counts of tablets purchased online, coming a close second with 30 million in the first month, the figure grew substantially to over 60 million in the next month. Although the sales had remained constant for 2 months, they fell to 25 million in April. #task_1

Life has meaning under all circumstances, even the most miserable ones. Our main motivation for living is our will to find meaning in life. We have freedom to find meaning in what we do, and what we experience, or at least in the stance we take when faced with a situation of unchangeable suffering.

In some cultures, children are often told that they can achieve anything if they try hard enough. What are the advantages and disadvantages of giving this message? It is said that children in some nations are encouraged to do their best in order to succeed. While fostering this attitude has several obvious benefits, it is not without its drawbacks. The upsides of stimulating children to reach their goals through hard work can vary. First of all, such message instills a growth mindset in children. Once faced with challenges, failures and setbacks, children are liable to regard them as valuable lessons which may come handy down the line. Not only that, but they also learn the importance of not giving up on their dreams. Moreover, while striving to accomplish their aspirations, children develop a strong work ethic. As well as staying highly motivated, they acquire certain set of qualities ranging from determination, perseverance to persistence. This, as a result, helps to develop the idea that hard work will ultimately pay off. Going the extra miles to achieve something, however, doesn't always prove favorable. Having been constantly pushed to accomplish their ambitions, children are put under pressure. That is, they always toil for long hours, compare themselves with others and strive for excellence, which, in turn, takes a heavy toll on children's mental well-being. Being exposed to much pressure, children start incurring certain mental disorders like depression, anxiety, to name but a few. Another negative side is that solely focusing on hard work may thwart other qualities required for children's development. They, for instance, may lack good communication skills seeing as they were mainly concerned with working hard and paid little attention to their social life. In effect, youngsters may thrive in their job or studies, but have poor team dynamics. In conclusion, although children can become determined and relentless to achieve their goals, the possibility of suffering from acute pressure and lack of important qualities for their development make the message of working hard undesirable. #task_2

Isn't it funny how day by day nothing changes but when you look back everything is different...

C.S.Lewis

The feeling of realizing that your "purpose" won't usually feel like a " purpose" as you have to do the work regardless and so the whole act of " finding it" was just a mechanism of the ego in the first place.

How would you define this feeling in one word?

The image depicts the stages involving the manufacture of orange juice.  Overall, the linear process commences with delivering oranges and culminates with supplying the juice to supermarkets. It is also apparent that there are two types of orange juice: fresh and concentrated juice, with the latter requiring more steps to produce. Firstly, a truck loaded with fresh oranges is dispatched to a factory. Once delivered, oranges are washed before extracting the juice with the help of a juicer. While the remains are sent for animal feeding, fresh juice is packaged in paper cartons and, subsequently, transported to retail outlets. As for the production of concentrated juice, freshly-extracted juice is taken to another plant in refrigerated trucks to undergo the process called evaporation. After removing water, it turns into concentrated juice which is, in turn, canned and stored in a warehouse. Following that, the canned juice is delivered to another factory for adding water and then repackaging it again. Lastly, the concentrated juice is distributed to supermarkets. #task_1

Working out will make you feel weak, when it's actually making you stronger. Learning new things will make you feel dumb when it's actually making you smarter. Investing in yourself will make you feel broke when it's actually making you rich.
