We are so passionate about what we do. We get to travel this amazing world, make great friendships, make positive changes within local communities and help conserve animals. 【小题1】.

It is not a nine-to-five job for us. You will find us available to answer your questions outside of the “normal” hours, be that 6:30 on a Monday morning or 20:00 on a Sunday evening. We also make it easy. You can contact us through online chat, by email, text, social media or telephone, 【小题2】, allowing this once in a lifetime opportunity to all travelers.

Over the past couple of years, we have hosted many volunteers and made such a big impact around the world. Here’s the things you should know about us:

Not only do our volunteer programs directly help within the local community, but we ensure that all tasks aid the local economy, respect all cultures and support the development of the local infrastructure (基础设施), which is crucial to the long-term future of the city.

We make sure you and other volunteers have the best time of your lives. The fastest and most efficient way for us to grow and spread our programs is by YOU. 【小题4】. That’s why we are so proud of our 5 out of 5 star rating.

So, do something different and special when you next go abroad. 【小题5】. Whether you want to help protect the elephants in Sri Lanka, help the disabled in Nepal or teach children in Cambodia, the Mighty Roar can make it happen.

When you tend to talk too much, people undervalue what it is that you bring to the table, which means being too talkative can lead to issues with socializing and making friends. But how to be less talkative?

【小题1】. When the other person suggests that they want to talk, do something to show that they have your full, undivided attention. Close the book you’re reading or put down your phone and face your body towards them with open arms to show them that you’re ready to listen.

Think before you respond. Always try to think twice before you speak. 【小题2】 , think about questions to ask that can grant you clarity. Avoid saying more than you have to be by taking a moment to reflect after the speaker asks you for your opinion.

Only speak on something when it is appropriate. Discuss what makes sense and try to stay away from examples that may seem irrelevant, unreasonable, and ambiguous 【小题3】 , if you don’t know what you want to say. For example, “What does this mean? Who can we hold responsible, how, and why?” This encourages others to speak more.

Keep conversations balanced by asking questions. In balanced conversations, people say what they have to say. Rather than talking until something comes up, balance the conversation by saying things like “Enough about me. What do you think?” and “I know we’ve been talking a lot about my opinion, I want to hear your opinion, too!” If you have a question about something or need clarification, don’t interrupt the person while they’re talking. 【小题4】 .

Practice staying on topic by challenging and recording yourself. Record yourself talking and see if you start to depart from the topic. 【小题5】 . Once you’re able to do that, try to make your point in 30 seconds. This exercise can help you stay on topic and avoid wandering.

I frequently see online videos where a group of girls travel to a destination as friends but leave as enemies. It’s generally assumed that these friendship breakups result from different travel preferences or lack of conflict resolution skills. 【小题1】 Luckily, there are ways to minimize arguments and ensure your friendships survive your next group trip.

【小题2】 Regarding accommodations, for instance, you’d rather check into a Youth Hostel than a five-star hotel so that you can spend more on good meals. What need you prioritize should get across to your friends, in which case there’ll be no surprises when you’re trying to pick out an Airbnb or make dinner reservations.

Do your friends prefer a structured itinerary (行程) that starts at 7 a.m., or would they like to rise at their leisure and wing it for the day? Are they down to party until dawn, or do they want to call it a night by 10 p.m.? 【小题3】 The same goes for boundaries. Better to know what makes them uncomfortable beforehand than have to negotiate mid-trip.

Are you one who rigidly sticks to a travel itinerary and allows zero flexibility? 【小题4】 I find it helpful to have a loose itinerary shared before the trip. You can always revise your daily schedule, but some structure is key, or else you’re spending half your vacation researching.

Some people need a break to recharge or sleep and others may want to work out or read a book. 【小题5】 It’s everyone’s vacation, so everyone should get independent periods to use as they wish.

In ancient times, the more information our ancestors had, the more likely they were to survive. However, nowadays, this is the first time in history that humans have been exposed to such a constant flow of information. While it’s important to stay informed, too much information can make us feel confused and anxious. As we all know, too many high-calorie foods can lead to obesity. 【小题1】

We’ re not just seeking relevant information to increase our chances of survival anymore. We fall into rabbit holes, scroll (滚屏) our feeds mindlessly, and watch video after video by clicking on the recommended links. 【小题2】 And we have lost control over the content we consume. Just as you try to eat healthily to improve your physical health, going on an information diet is a way to control what you consume to take care of your mental health. Here are some simple ways to start an information diet to break the information addiction.

Prevent unwanted information. 【小题3】 Make sure to set up filters. Try some apps to unsubscribe from unwanted emails.

Dress the table. Shape your environment to make sure you’re not overly tempted to have access to too much useless information. 【小题4】 For example, you can change your social media settings to reduce the number of notifications.

Add more offline foods to your content menu. Increase your levels of “offline foods” — content you can consume away from a screen and that you can purchase or download in advance.

【小题5】 It’s incredibly effective to block time for reading stuff online. If you’re really struggling with information addiction, you can even put a timer on. This will force you to prioritize information that really matters.

As a leadership consultant for many years, I’ve found many of the leaders I work with report feeling frustrated (沮丧的) as they face the continuous change and uncertainty in the growing challenges of their roles. 【小题1】 Throughout their careers, leaders are conditioned to come up with the final, correct answer. Given that human's brains are hardwired to see uncertainty as a risk or threat, it’s physiologically normal to feel stress when faced with unfamiliar situations.

Sadly, in the world of leadership training, we often celebrate qualities like decisiveness, innovation, and resilience (抗逆力). 【小题2】 Without it, even the most talented leaders struggle to sustain their success.

According to the psychological definition, frustration tolerance involves the capacity to bear discomfort, regulate emotional responses, and maintain a forward mindset in the face of challenges. 【小题3】 It not only allows leaders to stand the discomfort of building something meaningful without giving up but also helps them stay grounded and purposeful, even when immediate results aren’t what they hoped for.

【小题4】 Leaders can train their frustration tolerance by pursuing goals outside of leadership that don’t offer instant rewards. Try going to the gym teaching discipline, patience, and the value of gradual progress. These experiences build resilience and reinforce frustration tolerance as a transferable skill. 【小题5】 Leadership and entrepreneurship are marathons, not sprints (冲刺). Honoring your energy ensures you’re better equipped to handle frustration and maintain the stamina needed for long-term success.

Vacations are an essential part of every person’s life. Following long seasons of hard work, it is well deserved to get away from busy schedules and enjoy nature.

While tourism is good, it has its dark side. Besides emission-based pollution, tourism also contributes heavily to plastic pollution. This kind of pollution can be reduced by advocating for sustainable vacationing. 【小题1】 When it comes to ecotourism, your inspiration for others to take action is equally important.

【小题2】 If a park says no to feeding wildlife, simply avoid feeding them. Most times, what we interpret as affection for wildlife puts them at risk. If parks allowed every person to feed animals, chances of the animals dying from food poisoning are high.

In our efforts to protect nature, we may fail to appreciate other people’s cultures. The local communities in the Amazon are a part of the forest’s life. When you visit such local communities, you may find them participating in some practices that may seem unfriendly to the ecosystem or wildlife. 【小题3】 Trying to listen and interact with communities opens more doors to bring in change than criticism does.

Most people are not sustainability conscious._ 【小题4】 We have many ways to be sustainable and one is sharing your ideas. The sustainable option you choose may seem absurd to another person. However, sharing your experience may help others have different perspectives.

At the end of the day, sustainable vacationing should help you not only reduce negative environmental impact but also awaken society to such a reality. 【小题5】 However, every small step contributes to a more sustainable world.
