Heck, I can use my “phone” to …book a restaurant reservation in seconds …adjust the heat in my house from anywhere …or deposit a check without going to an ATM It’s no flying car (which, come to think of it, we were promised we’d have by now), but it’s pretty impressive.

We’vecome to expect things like autosuggest and autocorrect, and we’re annoyed when wecan’tpay a parking ticket or renew a driver’s license online.

a writer. Thomas J. Watson, one of the giants of American business, replied with these profound words: “If you want to be successful faster, you must double your rate of failure. Success lies on the far side of failure.” The fact is that the more you have already failed, the more likely it is you are on the verge of great success. Your failures have pre- pared you to succeed.This is why a streak of good luck seems to fol- low a streak of bad luck.

It is a great pleasure to have a rest after a whole year of hard work or study. People like to travel during their summer holidays. Some people go abroad to see new countries, some people prefer to go to the country- side to enjoy country-life far from noise and fuss of big cities.
