Summarize the following:
Saying that someone is narrow-minded may indicate that the person is resistant to change due to their perception that something is difficult, and any changes to the person’s routine may cause the person to feel anxious. To avoid being narrow-minded about narrow-minded people, it is important to consider the reasons why someone might behave in narrow-minded ways. These reasons can include:  Life circumstances. Past negative experiences. Mental illness. Low self-esteem. Other things beyond what you know about the person. If someone behaves in ways that you consider narrow-minded, it might be due to something beyond his or her control, such as a mental illness. Rigidity—which is associated with narrow-mindedness—is a symptom of some mental illnesses.  For example, some personality disorders might cause a person to behave in narrow-minded ways.  Someone who has social anxiety disorder might seem narrow-minded about going out to parties or different social venues. However, the person might simply be avoiding these activities because of his or her anxiety. Some people might be afraid of change due to past circumstances, such as losing a job or a painful breakup. These negative experiences with change may result in a person developing some narrow-minded behaviors. For example, someone who had a negative experience after moving to a new city may be resistant to the idea of ever moving again.

summary: Be willing to consider the reasons for someone’s behavior. Think about the possibility that the person has a mental illness. Consider why someone might be resistant to change.

If you aren't signed into iCloud on your iPad or don't have Find My iPad enabled, or you have never synced to iTunes, you can use Recovery Mode to restore your disabled iPad.

The Power button can be found along the the top edge on the right side. The Home button is in the center at the bottom. You'll see the screen go dark and then the Apple logo appear. Keep holding both buttons. You'll see the iTunes logo and a USB cable appear on the iPad's screen. This means the iPad is in Recovery Mode. You can now release the buttons. You'll see this option in the window that appears when the iPad enters Recovery Mode. This may take a few minutes. You'll see a progress bar underneath the Apple logo on the iPad's screen. Follow the prompts to set up your iPad as if it were new. If you have a previous backup available in iCloud, you can restore from it during the setup process.

Summarize the following:
Many people happen to be introverted, meaning that you're more comfortable spending time alone or with your own thoughts. If this sounds like you, don't force yourself to completely become an outgoing, social person. Doing so can lead to stress, anxiety, and heart disease. Instead, spend time in social situations you already enjoy and try to have meaningful conversations. By accepting your introverted nature, you can focus on the quality of your social interactions rather than trying to increase the number of social interactions you have. You can become socially confident by engaging other people in a way that interests them and makes them feel heard. These skills, along with the ability to make others feel heard, are known as social competence. Research has shown that improving social competence actually increases positive self-perceptions and acceptance during social situations. Practicing social competence can create opportunities for yourself, since you're more likely to approach others. How you see yourself is one of the most common factors that influences your confidence. You may think that you're giving off a negative impression to others in social situations, but you're probably just looking for anything to confirm your own beliefs. If you don't see yourself as socially confident, it can be easy to look for evidence that confirms your belief, since people prefer experiences to match their predictions. Instead, reframe a situation to challenge how you see yourself. Catch yourself thinking negative thoughts and ask yourself what evidence you see or hear that proves the thought. For example, imagine you're out and think, "I know everyone here thinks I’m boring because I have nothing interesting to say.” Stop thinking the negative thought and ask yourself what proves that thought without a doubt. Once you've started looking for evidence to support how you feel, test the evidence to see if it was caused by other things beyond your control. Don't assume that others’ reactions are caused by you, because this can often leave you feeling deflated. Realize that others’ reactions are a product of themselves and not you. It may be helpful to steer your assumptions in the direction of compassion for the other person while taking a position of caring curiosity about what might be going on with them. For example, maybe you saw someone make a face, and you thought that they were uninterested in what you were talking about, or you saw someone end a conversation prematurely and run off. Ask yourself if these could be attributed to other things. The person who made the face  may not be feeling well or may be uncomfortable in that seat, or may have seen someone he or she was hoping not to run into. The person who rushed out could she have been late for a meeting and forgot to mention it.  Or maybe he or she has been stressed and really needed some alone time. If you express compassion towards others, you’ll be creating a positive environment when you interact with other people. The more positive social interactions you have, the more you could build your confidence. Being able to pick up on social cues and express empathy, are important parts of engaging meaningfully with others. For example, if your friend rushes out, you could text or call her later to see if she's alright. She'll most likely appreciate your compassion and understanding. At times, people just don't click with each other, even when they make an effort to be social and put themselves forward. It's natural, and everyone goes through this. To build your social confidence, remember that you cannot take responsibility for the way other people feel and act. If a person you're trying to speak with isn't responding, that's on the other person, not you. Shrug it off and move on. There will be someone who you will click with, or at the very least, have enough social skill to engage in pleasant, polite conversation.
summary: Accept your personality. Understand the importance of confidence. Avoid negative thoughts. Test your beliefs. Express compassion for others. Maintain healthy expectations.
