Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Commit yourself to Buddhism. Follow the 8-Fold Path on a daily basis. Alter your diet.

Answer: Now that you’ve learned the basics and understand what it means to be a Shaolin Monk and what it means to be a Buddhist, you need to make the life choice to commit yourself to living as a Buddhist. This is your first real step in your journey toward becoming a Shaolin Monk. As a Buddhist, you will have to life by “The Four Noble Truths.”  Suffering is a part of life. Desire for physical positions and pleasures is one of the greatest causes of suffering. We can escape suffering by rejecting desire. We can find happiness or “Nirvana” by following a specific path in our daily life (the 8-Fold Path). The 8-Fold Path is really the nuts and bolts of Buddhist and Shaolin daily existence. The path is intended to overhaul how you live and how you see the world. It will change your interactions with your friends, family, and with strangers.

Avoid overeating at all costs. Eliminate meat completely from your diet. Cut out simple carbohydrates. Consume raw food. While some monks do this for every meal, you should begin with one meal.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Exit with confidence. Send a thank-you note. Follow up.

Answer: When leaving the interview, make sure to maintain confidence. Remember, you're being judged from the moment you enter the interview room up until the moment you leave.  Say goodbye to the interviewer and thank him or her for your time. Offer a handshake and maintain eye contact, giving a smile as well. When you walk out, stand up straight and walk in a steady, confident gait. Send the interviewer a brief e-mail or letter thanking them for their time. This can help you stand out from the crowd. It does not need to be more than a few sentences. Something, "Dear Ms. Johnson, I really enjoyed talking to you about the salesclerk position at Sear's this weekend. I appreciated you taking the time to interview me. Good luck selecting a qualified candidate for the position." It's always a good idea to follow up about a position. If you haven't heard back in a couple of weeks, call or e-mail the person who interviewed you and let him or her know you're still interested in the position.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Water the plants regularly. Weed the soil. Fertilize and mulch the plants. Watch out for pests and diseases.

Answer:
Asparagus plants will reach maturity after two full growing seasons. In the meantime, keep the soil moist at all times. Asparagus plants will die if they have to compete for nutrients with weeds, grasses, and any other plants. Take good care of the soil while the plants reach maturity. When they're older, their deep roots will naturally crowd out weeds. In spring, fertilize the asparagus plants with a liquid fertilizer meant to stimulate growth. During the winter, protect the plants from the cold by covering them with straw or another mulch. Asparagus plants are susceptible to asparagus beetles, which feed on the fern-like asparagus foliage during summer and spring. They lay eggs on the asparagus leaves. If you see the beetles or their eggs, pick them off.
