FAMILY: HOW IMPORTANT IS IT?

I have been thinking about my own family before writing this article. I got married last December 10, 2018 and I am blessed with one child, the precious gift that GOD gives me. I miss my child every second of the day. That is how I love my family. I have my wife with me every day since we work in the same office. I also missed my mother and brothers. I am in Cebu, Philippines while they are in Leyte, Philippines. I spent my thirty-six years of my life with them and they help me a lot of who I am today.    Family is the basic unit of a society.

Until such time that I graduated from High School, I decided to study plants. Hence, I graduated with agriculture in my course after college days.

LAUGHTER VS SMILE, THE BENEFITS

  Depressed? Stressed? Or Emotionally Disturbed?   This article will give simple solution. You read here right! You only need to smile and laugh!   At first, what is the difference between laughing and smiling?    Alleen Pace Nilsen and Don L.F. Nilsen discovered the distinction between smiling and laughing. They said , “Smiles are more likely to express feelings of satisfaction or good will, while laughter comes from surprise or a recognition of an incongruity”  ( https://www.humorthatworks.com/learning/the-difference-between-smiling-and-laughing/ )   When we are with your friends, we laugh out loud when someone throws joke or act like a comedian.

When we smile, the both ends of our mouth will go up. But, smiling and laughing will indicate that we are happy.   Smil...

Every day we work hard in order to provide our family especially the basic needs. We work hard until we almost forget our time to sleep because we wanted to finish things for the deadlines. Hence, we have lack of sleep.   Sleep is a natural process that has been with us since mankind began (https://vt.tiktok.com/ZScFttFc/). However, this natural process is severely disrupted by our modern day lifestyle. According to @Sgsupernanny in her TikTok account, when Thomas Edison  created the lightbulb, the natural process of sleep is disrupted. She further said, that we can now keep working, playing, and entertaining ourselves. Thus, we do not give priority to our sleep anymore. Our body clock, the circadian rhythm,  will be disrupted if we don’t go back to the nature.   What are the effects of lack of sleep? @Sgsupernanny said that lack of sleep can lead to increase chances of death by 20% in 20 years; can increase the risk of developing cancer by 200%; can increa...
