Learn to think and act positively
The power of positive thinking has been widely researched. It’s funny how some of us accept this power quickly while others are doubtful. Our opinions about positive thinking might prove its point.
What is positive thinking?
When facing a problem, we weigh success or failure against it. We might think that positive thinking always leads us to expect success. Actually, it’s more important to realize that positive thinking results in acceptance of our situation.
If we think positively, we may predict success or ways to move on in case of failure. There’s a difference between blind positivity and seeing things in a positive light.
Benefits of positive thinking
Does research see any real value in positive thinking? Many studies show that a positive attitude leads to less stress and depression. Physically, positive thinking is linked to a longer life and quicker recovery from sickness. Positive people with a family history of heart problems are even less likely to experience heart attacks.

Teaching Topic: Heart Disease vs. Heart Attack 教學主題: 是心臟病還是心臟病發作?
Today let’s talk about the difference between a heart disease and a heart attack. Now obviously both terms are related to the heart, the difference is that heart disease is usually long term while a heart attack is something that happens in a relatively short amount of time.
Heart disease is a general description that covers numerous problems that relate to the heart and blood vessels. If a person has heart disease, he or she may have narrowed or blocked blood vessels. And when blood vessel is blocked, blood flow is interrupted and this can cause a heart attack.
Okay, so what happens when a person has a heart attack, he or she may have chest pain or shortness of breath? The discomfort might last for more than few minutes or may go away and then come back again. This is because the blood flow to the heart is blocked by a blood clot.
Now if you ever have a heart attack, go to a hospital and get help. Now the good news is most people survive their first heart attack and return to their normal lives to enjoy many of more years of productive activity. But having had a heart attack does mean you have to listen to your doctor’s advice and make some changes in your life regarding eating and exercising.
Okay, so to sum up today’s lesson, a heart disease is a condition, and heart attack is an occurrence.
