Hello guys, I just have a question. I'm not sure which sentence is correct. Thanks in advance. He can figure out things very quickly. or He can figure things out very quickly.

I think one of the best things that my mom did right in raising me is she taught me patience and discipline, especially in finances. I remember my mom had a small convenience store before and she would sometimes ask me to run it if she has other things to do. She would teach me strategies on how to manage it and give me tips on how to sell a particular product. At first I didn't like it because it was a lot of hard work, doing this stuff was already a lot of hard work for me because I was still in middle school back then. It was also very time consuming because I would be at the store for 3 or 4 hours almost every day, and because of it I didn't often had the time to hangout with my friends, and even if I could still hangout with my friends I was already too tired from that work and couldn't enjoy spending time with them anymore. The thing that I hated most about that job was to deal with drunk customers and people who often borrow money, arguing with those kind of people was really a pain in the butt! I almost even got into a fight once because I refused to loan a bottle of wine to a drunkard man.😄 At first I thought that my mom was doing this to me as a punishment for not doing good at school, but what I didn't know is that she was teaching me to be patient, wise, firm and disciplined, and how to handle finances properly. Because of it I'm forever grateful to my mom.

Hi guys, I just have a simple question. What does the sentence "Look who's laughing now" mean? Is this some kind of a revenge? Thank you so much for the reply.

Hay mucho. Verduras de hoja verde como broccoli, espinaca y col rizada. Pescados también son buenos como sardinas, atún, caballa y salmón porque estos pescados son rico en Omega-3 que es bueno para el cerebro. Otros alimentos que también son buenos para el cerebro son huevos, zanahorias, naranjas, nueces, maní, cúrcuma, ginseng, chocolate negro, fresas, arándanos, aguacates, y té verde. Pero para mí, los mejores maneras para hacer el cerebro sano es leer, resolver crucigramas, ver documentales, aprender una nueva habilidad como juegos malabares, dormir muy bien, hacer ejercicio, dieta y meditación. Aprender un idioma extranjero es muy bueno para el cerebro también.

If there’s no more Covid and everything comes back to normal I would like to go back to Manila, The Philippines’ capital, and look for a new job because that was my plan before Covid struck the country. It’s been more than a year since the last time I was there, I was in Manila in the first quarter of 2020 then the pandemic happened and I was forced to go back to our province. I prefer to work there because there are more opportunities there than in any place, especially for people who speaks foreign languages.

Yesterday I met a former classmate in elementary in the grocery store, he was my classmate in grade 4. I didn't recognize him at first because all of us in the grocery store were wearing face masks and face shields but he was able to recognize me after so many years(for more than 2 decades). We were standing in line he was behind me then he mentioned my name. I turned around to see who it was, then he asked me if I could still remember him, I paused for a few minutes then remembered his name(his name and surname). Then we started chatting about our lives for a while while standing in line. Because of that incident I found out that my memory is still a little bit sharp because I was still able to recognize a former classmate who didn't see for so long and was not even close to me because usually I can only remember former classmates in elementary and high school who were close to me.

The person that I really admire is Manny Pacquiao because he is such an incredible athlete. His discipline and work ethic is so amazing. He never under estimate any of his opponents because every time he trains for a fight he is always focus and intense which is a mark of an athlete who is very dedicated in his sport. Most athletes when they reach the age of 39 they retire, but at the age of 42 Manny can still compete against younger fighters. But what I truly admire about him is his humility. Even if he has already achieved a lot he never forgets where he came from. He is a legend, a future hall of famer, and the people’s champ inside and outside the ring.

Quando eu demiti-me do meu trabalho meu primiero plano era descansar por alguns meses e então procurar um novo trabalho, estava planejando trabalhar em uma empresa terceirizadora outra vez. Mas antes de procurar um novo trabalho eu estava planejando fazer muita leitura para melhorar minha compreensão escrita em inglês, mas minha mãeme fez mudar a opinião porque ela quer que eu estude direito e me torne um advogado para que alguém em nossa família pode proteger e cuidar dos suas propriedades e negócios. Ser advogado é realmente excelente mas não é fácil. Eu tenho um professor que era estudante de direito, ele me disse que estudar direito é muito estressante e exigente, também me disse que gastou muitas noites sem dormir fazendo muita leitura até chegou ao ponto em que não pôde mais aguentar estressante e pressão demais, por isso decidiu mudar seu curso. Mas estou disposto a arriscar porque eu já tenho experienciado muito estresse e pressão antes porque eu estava sempre lidando com clientes irritados em meu trabalho anterior, fazia parte do meu trabalho. Já que também quero melhorar minha compreensão escrita em inglês estudando direito é um excelente curso para isso porque há muita leitura para fazer e a maioria dos livros são escritos em inglês. Espero que me gradue na faculdade de direito após 4 anos.
