This article is for you if you have ever asked yourself, “How do I start believing in myself?” Everyone falls into a situation where we don’t have as much belief in ourselves as we used to. 【小题1】

Practice Loving Yourself

You have to find confidence in yourself first. 【小题2】 Remind yourself that you are unique, valuable, and loved by others, Once you find a way to love yourself truly, you can then take the first step towards believing in yourself.

Treat Yourself the Way You Treat Others

【小题3】 And you are willing to lend a hand and help them out when life is tough. You will feel happy and cheerful by giving yourself the opportunity to talk and be open. However, you will feel sad and slightly depressed if you continually tell yourself that you’re a failure. Be sure you take care of yourself the way you treat your best friends.

Feed Your Spirit

Feed your mind with interesting and positive topics. Ask respected colleagues how self-belief leads them to become the person they are today and read books about topics that will help you figure out your next steps in life and how to be confident. All of these things may seem small, 【小题4】 If you do them long and often enough, you’ll be able to believe in yourself more.

Accept That You Are Not Perfect

It’s hard for many people to admit that they aren’t perfect. Life is going to be tough at times. 【小题5】 Forgive yourself for the pain in your life. Welcome and allow the imperfect times and then let them go.

Acceptance Speeches

‘Thank you’ is a very polite thing to say when you are given something, and this is particularly important when receiving an award at a ceremony. But if you’re one of the lucky winners, ‘thank you’ is just the start of the most important acceptance speech of your life.

Film, TV and music award ceremonies are all about the acceptance speeches — they are an art form in their own right. They are a chance for an actor or performer to publicly thank people who’ve helped them.

Speeches are also used as a platform to make a political statement or just to raise someone’s profile (形象) — so it’s important to get the words right. 【小题1】 For example, at this year’s Oscars, nominees (被提名者) have only 90 seconds from finding out they’ve won to finishing their speech. John Bailey, president of the Academy, has told them they should “get up there and keep speeches brief.”

When the clock is ticking, it’s hard to say everything you want. Weeping can waste time; bumbling (结结巴巴讲话) costs valuable seconds. 【小题2】 At the 2019 Golden Globes, Olivia Colman was named the best actress for her role as Queen Anne in The Favorite and gave an excited speech that ended with her holding up her trophy (奖杯) and sending a message to her family: “Ed and the kids-look! Yay!”

You would expect an actor to be persuasive and able to perform on stage in front of an audience. 【小题3】When Japan’s Naomi Osaka won this year’s Australian Open final, she said “Sorry, public speaking isn’t my strong point so I hope I can get through this... I read notes before this but I still forgot what I was meant to say.”

【小题4】 It’s important to make notes that remind you to thank people, say some words of wisdom, and win over the audience. But if you’ve got nothing to say, accept your award graciously then get off stage before the music starts playing again — just remember to say “thank you”!

Most of us don’t like to think too much about rubbish.【小题1】. However, household waste is a major contributor to our planet’s waste problem. Like it or not, it needs to be managed if we are to have a brighter green future.

When it comes to being responsible for our own rubbish, the best way to approach it is by following the three golden rules of waste management, or the ‘3 Rs’-Reduce, Reuse and Recycle.

“The order is important.【小题2】 ,” says Eugene Tay, Director of Green Future Solutions in Singapore. “Recycling still affects the environment and should be done last after reduce and reuse.”

But, when our efforts to reduce and reuse still result in an overflowing rubbish bin, the advantages of recycling cannot be ignored. “【小题3】,” says Amy Ho, Managing Director of World Wide Fund For Nature in Singapore. “The damage to our environment could then be slowed down as a result. ”

In fact, by recycling just one plastic bottle, you are saving not just the material to make a new one, but you also stop it from getting thrown into a landfill(垃圾掩埋场)for up to 700 years-and that’s before it even starts to rot. 【小题4】.

Recycling is so important that we really have no excuse not to do the simplest of household tasks that will make a difference.

“【小题5】 , ”says Ho. “Starting with recycling grey water for gardening purposes, to recycling materials such as glass, paper and iron-it all reduces the use of raw materials.”
