bear/ put up with/ stand something Can they be used interchangeably when we indicate being able to accept something unpleasant? For example " My mother can't bear/ put up with/ stand waste, so she always makes me eat everything on the plates". Are these three options all correct in the sentence? Thanks for your time.

If I could go back in my life 2 I'd follow my heart and care less about other people's eyes because things always turn out good when I listen to my inner voice. There're many times when I tried to make a choice and then I got lost by the different advice from my friends and family. Some advice might seem wise but it's probably not what you really want since nobody can understand all your feelings, thoughts and desires, except yourself. If you take those so-called wise suggestions and always play it safe, you'll miss out on lots of fun in life and feel regret. Life is short so I admire those having the courage to pursue what they really want instead of those who live someone else's life even if it looks successful.

If I could go back in my life 1 I'd spend more time developing friendships because friends are those whom you can always turn to when you need help or feel down. When I was younger, I was so valuing my time that I often neglected other's feelings. Until lots of my friends drift me away I didn't realize I was wrong. Now, I've learnt how to appreciate those who mean something to me and how to be grateful for any help I get. I suppose you won't truly understand this until you lose a few friends or are neglected by others.

Fear of Failure sometimes, I'm afraid of hearing compliments because I hate to let people down and other people's expectation always puts me under stress. I think perfectionism is a disease, which makes you have trouble ending every work so you're always in anxiety. If you can take failure well, then you're able to enjoy the process and therefore wouldn't push yourself too hard. Positive thinking is an ability that I admire more than anything.
