Last weekend I was lucky enough to attend one of Spain's most famous carnivals in the city of Cádiz. You can only understand what it is like after seeing it for yourself. Everybody was fancy-dressed from top to toe.
Almost instantly after stepping off the train, we were filled with joy. Many people parading through the streets playing traditional music filled people with happiness. As we wandered around and took in the animate atmosphere, the creativity of some costumes was incredible! You could really tell that people put a lot of time and energy into making some amazing costumes.
Then there were the groups dotted around the city. This gave the carnival a pure essence of originality, as they were singing from their heart. Furthermore, the fact that I was not able to understand the inside jokes did not matter, as I was transfixed by the actions and expressions they provided.
As the night progressed, the streets got more packed with people. When we passed a convenience store, we danced along to the music coming through the owner's speakers. It was a marquee(跑马灯) with a DJ set inside, literally like a mini festival. After this wacky weekend of festivity, it is true to say that the Spanish know how to party!
A. Everyone was dancing.
B. People got more and more excited.
C. We saw everyone was in high spirits.
D. It made me feel like I was in a fairy-tale world.
E. Afterwards, we went to the main party at El Puerto.
F. They were mostly old men singing some traditional songs.
G. These mini street shows were a true taster of Spanish culture.
A. You can't order every delicious dish on the menu. B. Unfortunately, people often find it hard to make decisions. C. Don't count on emotion to make decisions. D. You may regret making such a stupid decision. E. Maybe you wish to consult with your advisor. F. Don't spend too much time thinking. G. It is an important source of information. |
We all have to make decisions all the time, and we have an abundance of choices, ranging from tiny issues to vital ones. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} That means the skill of good decision-making counts a lot. If you would like to improve your skill of decision making, here are four suggestions for you.
Don't expect to have it all.
Decisions force us to close the door on other possibilities. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} And there will be paths not taken, careers not chosen, to name a few. You can imagine some "what if" situations if you must, but do not let them take up too much space in your brain.
{#blank#}3{#/blank#}
It's often good to think through your decisions. But don't overdo it. Research can reach a point where returns begin to reduce, which makes it confusing more than clarifying. Many good decisions can be made based as much on intuition (直觉) as on careful assessment of endless data.
Don't delay making decisions.
Yes, there is a time to put off making a decision. Perhaps you need more information. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} Or it's likely that you wait for a less stressful time. Just don't wait so long that the decision is made by your own indecisiveness.
Don't be hard on yourself.
You decide to go on a voyage. You choose an expensive liner. Everything should work out just right. Only you didn't expect a bug that ran around on the ship, making you and your family sick for five days. {#blank#}5{#/blank#} But please remember it is unavoidable sometimes.
