Negligence 1.


A very strong woodcutter asked for a job in a timber merchant and luckily for him, he got it. The pay was really good and so was the work condition.

For these reasons, the woodcutter was determined to do his best.
His boss gave him an axe and showed him the area where he supposed to work.

The first day, the woodcutter brought down 18 trees. "congratulations", the boss said. " Go on that way". Very motivated by the words of the boss, the woodcutter tried harder the next day, but he could only bring down 15 tress.

The third day he tried even harder, but he could only bring down 10 trees. Day after day he was bringing less and less trees. "I must be losing my strength", the woodcutter thought.

 He went to the boss and apologized, saying that he could not understand what was going on, because he was putting in all his best but he is not getting the result he expected.

" When was the last time you sharpened your axe? ", the boss asked.

Arguments.

Most people say they don't like arguing but the fact remains that in order to properly buttress your point , sometimes you need to stress on what your view is, But this becomes difficult when there is an opposition or a third party that wants you to listen to their own point of view contrary to yours. Everybody argues for a particular reason, and everybody have their reasons based on their thinking and conclusion. Voices are raised up when people find it difficult to conclude on an issue after some moments of argument. As voices are raised up, feelings and emotions begins to set in, anger begins to sprau up gradually. In no short time insults begins to be amidst the arguments and of course it is always a reciprocal scenario. As the pressure increases, if self control is lacking, everyone goes home with a squeezed face and sometimes a hurt body or with animosity. Argument is not  mandatory but in a case where it is necessary, letting our your view is the best option. You don...

How to read.

There is a very important fact about eye movement that you need to know. If you record the eye movements of someone who is reading, you will notice that, from time to time, the reader goes back and looks again at something he has read before; in other words, he regresses to an earlier part of the text, probably because he realises he does not understand the passage properly. Then he comes back to where he left off and continues reading. At one time, it was thought that regression was a fault, but it is in fact a very necessary activity in efficient reading. There are several different kinds of faults in reading, which are usually exaggerated with foreign learners.  The most common one is that most people read slowly than they should. There is no rate at which people ought to read, of course: it depends on your purpose in reading; how difficult the language is, how unfamiliar the material is and so on.  But most people read everything at the same slow speed, and do not s...
