With the continuous progress of science and society, whether technology will make people
lazyhasbecomeapublicconcern.Asfarasiamconcerned,ithasinfactmademanypeoplelazy.
It is quite a few factors that can account for my perspective. The primary reason is that the
widespread use of smart phones which are available for almost every one allows people to know
what is happening outside without going out whenever they need . More importantly,housewives
might have spent a lot of time walking a long way to purchase ingredients for cooking such as
meat or vegetables. However, nowadays, They just need to open the shopping software on their
mobilephones,clickandorderthegoodstheywant.

In short, to maintain a warm and friendly relationship with others, something could be done.

Although numerous cases are available for this argument, the following one about my teacher Liu is
the most suitable. She was born in a poor family with three siblings. Furthermore, she, years later,
failed to realize her dream to attend an esteemed university even though she studied hard during her
senior high school. Under suchsituations, she has nevergiven herself up,being convinced that “from
the gutter, we can still look up at stars.” And what she believes is that poverty is never scaring; what

People often wonder why some entrepreneurs have greater success than others. Is it habits,
connections, luck, work ethic or any other behavior? I believe the key to success is willpower.
Willpower is the ability to control yourself. It is a strong determination that allows you to do
something difficult. It is a behavior we are born with more than one we learn; however, it is
possibletonotonlylearnit,butalsostrengthenitwithconstantexercise.
Willpower is just like a muscle; to keep it strong you need to constantly exercise it. People
with a great amount of willpower have the discipline to develop positive, successful habits. Even

The art of self-control is one that most successful individuals have mastered. Self-control
enablesyoutoavoidbehaviorsthatdon’tcontributetoyoursuccessandadoptthosethatdo.
Because there is a delayed satisfaction associated with self-control, it can be easy to get off
track. However, if you work on sticking to those small positive habits one day at a time, it
becomes easier to stay strong and achieve that delayed reward. Once a reward is achieved, it is
