Although it is not easy for us to forgive people who hurt us, it is possible, "forgiveness makes you hopeful. And it is good for our health," says Fredric, Ph. D. the writer of the book called Forgive for God.

But how can we forgive others?

First, think of something beautiful and try to get yourself happy.

Second, don't wait for others to say sorry to you. If the people hurt you, he or she won't say sorry to you. They may just want to hurt you or they just don't see things the same way.

Third, try to see things in others' shoes. You can write a letter to yourself from the offender's point. That can make you understand others better and make yourself happier.

At last, don't forget to forgive yourself. For some people, forgiving themselves is the biggest challenge. And it also makes you more confident.

"Today I was running out of pencils so I asked all of my kids to take out the pencils that they had in their desks," says Ms. Cox. "One student asked me if he could keep some pencils that his mom gave him for school."

"Of course, I said yes. He then said, 'Well, I guess I'll give you a few so my classmates can have them too.' I thought nothing of it and took the pencils that he handed me."

Ms. Cox quickly discovered that these weren't just common pencils, however-as she was sharpening the pencils, she noticed that they all had writing on the side.

The boy's mother had written personal, special messages of love and encouragement on every pencil, saying things like "You are perfect", "I am proud of you" and "This will be a great year".

"This probably took his mom a few minutes to do, but it lit up his whole day at school," says Ms. Cox. "he wasn't embarrassed that his mom wrote on his pencils. Thanks to his mom, he was reminded of his own worth and wanted to share the same feeling with his classmates."

Ms. Cox posted a photo of the pencils on Facebook where it was shared thousands of times by adults praising the boy and his mother for their encouragement. Some have even done something similar for their own students. Ms. Cox says she would remind more kids that they are important, talented, loved, and clever and so much more.

The total number of climbers trying to reach the top of the world's highest mountain from the north will be controlled to less than 300. The climbing season will be controlled to spring.

Parts of Qomolangma are in China and Nepal (尼泊爾). Each year, around 60,000 climbers and guides visit the Chinese north side of the mountain, but few actually try to climb it. China has set up stations to sort (分類), recycle and break down rubbish from the mountain, which includes cans, plastic bags, tents and oxygen tanks (氧氣瓶).

On the Nepalese side, mountaineering trip organizers have begun sending huge rubbish bags to climbers during the spring climbing season. They should collect rubbish that then can be carried by helicopters back to the base camp.

Every year there are many victims on Qomolangma often in the "death area" above 8,000 metres, where the air is the thinnest. In 2017, 648 people reached the top of Qomolangma. Six people have died on the mountain that year, one of whom on the north side.
