 Useful Habits for the Young People

1. “Early to bed, early to rise makes people healthy, wealthy and wise.” It is useful to go to bed and to wake up at the same time. And it’s very nice to realize that you have managed to do so many things!

2. Don’t say “tomorrow” if you can do it today. Try to do everything on time and without delay and postponement till “tomorrow”. Who knows, may be this “tomorrow” will never come. Huge problems appear because of many tiny things are not done on time.

3. Read books. Read just a page but every day. It is a useful habit to fill the day with some new content.

4. Keep away from idle talk. One ancient Russian proverb says: “Speaking is silver, silence is gold”. Usually a person starts to speak quickly and emotionally when he/she denounces someone.

5. Be moderate in eating. Moderation in eating helps in spiritual life. There is a motto: “Ne quid nimis (=Ничего сверх нормы Latin). Aggression starts with overeating.

9. Grow good thoughts. We need a special art to transform the negative things into positive ones. In a conflict we need to think over an excuse for another person. If we understand and forgive another person in a conflict situation, we both will benefit.

6. Use even the contrary winds. A person can say he has no mood to do something. But we create our mood ourselves. For example, we can’t change the rainy weather. But we can “change” ourselves: we put on a raincoat and we take an umbrella. For example, fish swims in salty water, but fish isn’t salty itself. So a Christian person should not mix with the evil of the world. For a Christian person an internal position in accordance with God’s commandments is very important and also he/she hopes for God’s help.

7. Every evening analyze the day. At the end of the day we should analyze our bad thoughts, words and acts so that not to repeat them again and again. If we don’t analyze, it stays in our soul as mud on our body. By analyzing a Christian person keeps the soul healthy every day. The more we pay attention to the health and purity of our body, the more we should pay attention to the health and purity of our soul.

Answer the questions.

1. Why should we read books?

2. Why should we keep away from idle talk?

3. Do we create our mood ourselves? Give examples.

4. What should a Christian person do so that not to mix with the evil of the world?

5. What should we do just not to repeat our own mistakes again and again?

  Alcohol

Alcohol is the basis for wine, beer and spirits. Taken in moderation, with a meal, or in the company of friends, it can be regarded as one of the pleasure sides of life. But as with any drug, there are dangers as well as advantages associated with alcohol. Alcohol is rapidly absorbed from the stomach and intestine and soon appears in the blood. As the blood circulates through the lungs, alcohol diffuses into the air in the alveoli. The higher the concentration of alcohol is in the blood, the higher its concentration is in the breath.

    This is the basis for the breath analyzer test used by the police for motorists suspected of driving while under the influence of drink. Alcohol can also be measured in the blood. It is metabolized (broken down) by the liver so that after 6 to 8 hours none can be detected in the blood or breath.

  Alcohol Dependence

 

For most adults, moderate alcohol use is probably not harmful. However, about 18 million adult Americans have an alcohol use disorder. This means that their drinking causes distress and harm. It includes alcoholism and alcohol abuse.

 Alcoholism, or alcohol dependence, is a disease. With alcohol use, you are not physically dependent, but you still have a serious problem. The drinking may cause problems at home, work, or at school. It may cause you to put yourself in dangerous situations, or lead to legal or social problems.

Too much alcohol is dangerous. Heavy drinking can increase the risk of certain cancers. It can cause damage to the liver, brain, and other organs. Drinking during pregnancy can harm your baby. Alcohol also increases the risk of death from car crashes, injuries, homicide, and suicide.

If you want to stop drinking, there is help. Start by talking to your health care provider. Treatment may include medicines, counseling, and support groups. Kids often begin drinking to look “cool” or fit in with their peers. Parents can help their kids avoid alcohol problems. Open communication and conversations about drinking are important. Get help for your child if you suspect a drinking problem.
