Would you like to improve yourself？ Would you like to be a better person？ Good news! Here we've got some tips for you．

Tip 1Be Kind

Remember to be kind to yourself． You can do simple things to take care of yourself， like getting enough sleep to make yourself energetic． If you don't do like that， you will not bring anything good to anyone else． When you decide to show more kindness to yourself and to others， life changes quickly in a better way．

Tip 2Be Encouraging

It's amazing what a kind word or touch can do． When I was a kid， I went to a lot of schools． It always made me scared， and I was very nervous and unsure of myself． One time， a teacher touched my head and said， smiling， "Don't worry﹣you'll have a good time with us in this classroom．" I still remember my teacher's words．

All of us may come across some trouble in our life， and a bit of encouragement can be remembered for years．

Tip 3

When my sister and I were kids， my mum didn't have a car and our school was a 30﹣minute walk． Our neighbor offered to drive us to school when she dropped her son off， and that saved my mother a lot of time． Giving help to others can bring you happiness．

When thinking about how to become a better person， remember that small changes are also important． But "be kind to yourself" comes first． As the old saying goes， "You can't pour from an empty cup．" So in order to be a person who can give more love to this world， you have to fall in love with yourself first．

"I"﹣Storyteller Bertie﹣storyteller's husband The White Prince﹣a lion…

We never had children of our own﹣just The White Prince﹣and I can tell you， he was enough of a family for anyone． He walked freely in the park just as we had planned he would， and ran after the deer and the rabbits whenever he felt like it； but be never did learn how to kill for himself． You can't teach old lions new tricks． He lived on deer mostly， and slept on a sofa in our living room﹣I wouldn't have him inside our bedroom， no matter（無(wú)論） how often Bertie asked． You know， I have to draw the line somewhere．

Bertie's leg was never cured． When it was bad， he often needed a stick， or me， or the lion to lean on． It pained him a lot， especially on cold and wet days， and he never slept well． On Sundays the three of us would walk around the park together， and Bertie would sit on the top of Wood Hill with his arm around the lion's neck and I would fly kites． You know， I've always loved kites． And the lion liked to break them into pieces．

The lion never showed any interest in running away， and even if he'd wanted to， the park wall was too high for an old lion to jump over． Wherever． Bertie went， he wanted to go too． And if ever Bertie went out in the car， then he'd sit by me in the kitchen， and watch me with those great amber eyes， listening all the while for the sound of Bertie's car coming up the path to the front of the house．

The lion was getting older． And he became weak in his legs and could see very little． He spent his last days sleeping at Bertie's feet． When he died， we buried（埋葬） him at the bottom of the hill． Bertie's wanted it that way so he could always see the place from the kitchen window． I suggested Bertie plant a tree in case（以防） he forgot where the lion was． "I will， but he should get more than a tree．" Bertie said．

Bertie was sad for weeks， months after the lion died． There was nothing I could do to cheer him or even comfort him． He would sit for hours in his room， or go off on long walks by himself． He seemed so shut away inside himself， so distant（遙遠(yuǎn)的）． Try as I did． I could not reach him．

With the development of modern technology， digital devices（數(shù)碼設(shè)備） have been seen everywhere． People often check what is h1. in the world on the Internet， keep in touch with friends through emails， or even start to read e﹣books． H2.， many people still prefer paper books to e﹣books because they think that brains work b3. when reading paper books．

Now， some scientists have come up with some d4. ideas． They believe how brains work is not greatly affected by the way people read， but depends on the following factors（因素）． They I5. the type and content of reading materials， the p6. of reading． etc． When people read for entertainment， like news about star families or f7. stories， reading paper books or e﹣books makes no difference． When people read to gain k8. about science， reading paper books is more helpful． Brains need longer to deal with harder problems． Usually， taking notes by h9. on paper books takes longer than typing（打字） notes out on digital devices． So it's e10.for you to remember key points when you read paper books． Next time， when you read e﹣books about science， just remember to slow down and give your brain more time．

Most of us have made an exercise plan， but only a few can follow it． WebMD（an American website） has listed the following tips for making exercise a habit in your life．

1.Do activities you enjoy．

Remember， there's no rule that says you have to go to a sports centre or buy equipment like swimming suits． Many types of activities， such as push﹣up（俯臥撐）， can be done whenever it is rainy or snowy．

2.Exercise after work．

Don't go home first． Few people are so motivated（有動(dòng)力的） that they will go out again and exercise after they go home and change clothes．

3.Exercise even when you are tired．

Tiredness is not an excuse． While exercising， you breathe deeply and your body makes better use of the oxygen exchange． Then， you will feel energetic．

4.Notice that you are better than before．

It's great when your clothes fit better， you can lift heavier things or take exercise longer． There's something good too， like getting a good night's sleep or thinking more clearly．

5.Walk with a pedometer（計(jì)步器）

Not everyone can start out with 10，000steps a day． Use a pedometer， and find out your daily steps． And then， try your best to walk 300extra steps each day． Finally， you can reach 10，000steps a day．
