It usually means 'don't behave that way' so an alternative depends on the behaviour. It can be used if someone is crying and so "Don't cry" could be the alternative.

The point that presidential candidates miss, intentionally

There's an ongoing race for the 12th presidential election in Iran and it's one the hottest topics in these days. One of the issues that all six candidates agree upon is the need for jobs. There are different unrealistic promises to create millions of jobs.
The point they're missing is that there are already lots of jobs out there which require skilled engineers and workers. The main problem is that people are either unskilled or too lazy to accept a job other than sitting behind a desk, doing nothing and getting paid at the end of the month!
The root cause of this problem is the ineffective education system that can not provide graduates with enough skills for their jobs. There are a wide variety of reasons why things are the way they are which I'm not going to explain in this note, but the point is no candidate mentions reforms to the education system. They try to create jobs through the expansion of oil refineries and mass building of homes ).
According to past experiences of such projects, it's obvious that if these plans were would be implemented, there would be a lot of unproductive jobs created, a dozen of corrupt people would steal huge amounts of money from the budget and in the end, no favorable output would will be made. Most of those who are eligible for voting are short non-far-sighted people who like these  this kind of jobs (hoping that they will would be one of those corrupts, who get rich overnight); those who don't want to get the education system fixed for their children to solve, solving this issue permanently and those who are too lazy to improve their skills to be able which will enable them to get a decent job.
Also, it's pretty obvious that construction and oil refinery projects will not create jobs for people with all different educational backgrounds. The most important groups of unemployed people here are those who did not get an engineering or medical degree. This These kind of projects will not create jobs for these people.

Little Story

I was thinking in the bath: "How lazy are some people?". My company is facing some financial problems. It's become a nightmare because there is a real possibility of a collective layoff. But there is a great job opportunity at another company. So I said to a colleague to go for it because there are some open positions. He said: "Oh, I need to upgrade my cv. I'll see". But it's the third time I've said it to him. In my mind, I say: "What is he waiting for? The collective layoff? Is he crazy?". He has some problems with our boss. Two years ago, he was hired at a technician hole (*hole is not right, do you mean 'level' or 'grade' maybe?)  but after one year, he graduated from the university. By our country's law, companies need to upgrade the holes and the employee's salary, but our boss did nothing. So my colleague made a formal complaint to the Company President. After two weeks, he finally received the upgrade but our bosses were angry!

I've never heard that before so had to look up. But seems it means the same as "He was released on bail" which is much more common.

Usually a 'wish list' is just a mental list. (So just a list you think of, not written down)Something you'd like to get when you have enough money etc. Amazon (and possibly other companies!) have a wish list service which means you use them to record what you want. It's not a subscription, it's still down to you to actually order it. Or friends can have access to your list for present ideas.

If you think of a boat, when the boat is in bad condition or isn't being driven property it will scrape the bottom of the sea. I.e touch the ground, and drag along the bottom, the boat gets scratched or scraped. So the world is being compared to this....

Just need a correction if these sentences are wrong

Hello, everyone!

Could you please correct these phrases?

Let's take a walk to the photo center. We need photos for a visa. We are going to the sea this Saturday.

When we walk outside walk next to me
(my daughter is only 20 months old and I want her to walk next to me, because it is quite dangerous on the street; I'm afraid she will run onto the road, so I want to create this rule for us, but I don't know how I can say it correctly)

Don't go/run too far from me! Stay close!

There is a road. Let's cross the road together. You have to hold my hand when we cross the road So give me your hand and look both ways. There are no cars coming so we can cross over.

Stop! Let's wait for this car to go past

It's gone, so we can go.

There are traffic lights on this road. Press this button and wait for the green light. Then we can go/cross the road.

It's green! Let's go!

We did it! We crossed the road.

Now, let's run! Run after me! (Or chase me!)

Oops! The path is wet here. Don't run. It's dangerouse to run on the wet surface because you can fall and hurt yourself.

There are kittens! They are basking in the sun/sunshine!

Thank you for attention!

Awakening

Several days ago, I was talking about my childhood dreams with my son, when he interrupted me, " Mum, you're at the end of your youth. There's still time for you to fulfill your dreams. If you don't hurry up, you won't have a chance when you're old." Suddenly I realized I am nearly finished my forties, *and I have had half my life and not even one dream has come true. I have to do something from today.

*or thirties, not sure how old you mean?
