#writing challenge in English

For my self, positive people include 2 aspects: positive thinking and positive action. 

Positive thinking is the way that we recognize and evaluate things, problems in a good way. For example, when my 5 - year - old daughter broke the glass just because she tried to bring me water. In that case, I ignored the full piece of glass and water splattered on the floor, I smiled happily with her love. Instead of complaining, I cleaned the floor with my lovely dau

Nowadays, people aware clearly that unbalancing between work and life is the serious problem in the modern society. In this essay I would like to bring out some ideas about the reason and the w

 I am sitting dumb and numb, with a blank paper before me, just your name written  on it. Staring at your name. The life seems confined in it.  It seems like a confused poem, or words, are stuck, want to come out, but can’t set on the paper, floating in the air like stars or butterflies.  I am looking at your name written on the paper and thinking the poem has completed, there will be no better poem than this.

Do you love reading non-fiction books? As a matter of the fact that, most of avid readers I know are into the fiction books, because, it seems to them that reading such books help them discover new lands, new cultures and new people better than non-fiction books. Another point is that we as human being are being deeply depressed and overwhelmed by the troubles of the real life.From this point of view, reading the genres I stated above is salvation for people.

Anyway, to speak in a direct or fran
