Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Learn everything you can about your passion. Get advice and insight from other people in your field. Set goals and meet them. Have a daily routine that helps you follow your passion. Take a stand. Share your passion with others. Learn from your mistakes. Continue to work hard in the face of rejection.

Answer: If you want to really be passionate, then you have to be determined to learn everything there is to know about your passion and to continue to gain knowledge and know that there is always more to learn. Read all of the books, articles, and material that you can, take classes, read interviews, and do whatever you can to really feel like you have an understanding of what it means to succeed in your passion.  Remember that your job is never done. There is always more to read, more to learn, and more to do. If you feel like you really know everything there is to know about your field, then you risk getting complacent. Subscribe to journals or relevant literature in your field so you are always getting the most up-to-date information about your passion. Though you can learn a lot from reading or watching videos, there’s something to be said for getting more hands-on information from people who know their stuff. Whether you’re talking to an expert in your field or another person who shares your passion, you can always get more advice, insight, and a fresh perspective from the people around you. Don’t ever think you have all of the answers and always make an effort to hear others out.  If you don’t know anyone in your field, ask other people if they can introduce you to people who can help you or email people to see if you can come in for an informational interview or just ask a few questions. You’ll find that most people are happy to share their insight, especially if it’s about something they care a lot about. Talking to more people in your field can also help open up your mind to the idea that there’s more than one way of doing things when it comes to your passion. This can help you approach your passion with a more nuanced perspective. If you want to really be passionate, then you have to have a plan. Though you may think of passion as this crazy, wild, unbridled thing that can’t be curbed, if you’re really serious about carrying it through, then you should have a plan for how to succeed in realizing your dreams and furthering your passion. Create a series of little goals that lead up to a larger goal so you feel motivated to succeed along the way.  Having a plan when it comes to your passion can help you articulate your dreams and give you a more concrete vision of what you need to do to make them happen. Plus, if you’ve written out all of your little goals, then you’ll feel more motivated to reach them and more driven to make things happen. If you only have a vague idea about how to be passionate, then it’ll be harder to proceed. If you really want to succeed at your passion, then you should have a routine that helps you do that. Of course, they say that passionate people wake up early, but many night owls do their best work in the evenings, so this may not apply to you. Find a routine that makes it possible for you to pursue your passion and to make the most of your time and abilities, and stick to it.  Make a daily schedule for yourself. This will make it more likely that you’ll stick to a routine. For example, if you want to be a writer, set aside time to read and to write every single day, no matter how busy you are. Of course, it can’t all be hard work. You may have to plug in some “fun time” into your schedule too. Taking a break to relax from pursuing your passion can actually revitalize you and give you more energy to pursue your dreams. If you have a friend who is pursuing similar goals, you can schedule time to work together, if your passion isn’t a solo pursuit. This can help motivate you and make you feel accountable when the time comes to stick to your routine. If you really love and care about something, then you can’t just keep it to yourself. If you recognize an injustice in the world, then you should make an effort to stand up against it, and to let the world at large see why this cause is important. Whether this means protesting, picketing a business you don’t agree with, respectfully telling your boss why a new company policy is not environmentally friendly, or boycotting something you don’t agree with, it’s important to stand up for what you’re passionate about if you really want to see it through.  Sure, it may not always be easy to stand up for what you believe in or to go against popular opinion, but if you really do care about your cause, then you can’t just follow the path of least resistance all the time. You should be proud of yourself for going against what’s popular or right. Remind yourself that your cause or passion is bigger than you are and that you have to be willing to take a stand if you really do care. If you really care about something, then it’s likely that you won’t be able to stop talking about it. Though you don’t want to be the person who only talks about the thing he loves most in the world, you also want to be able to share how much you love your passion with the people around you. Whether you’re an English teacher who loves literature or a doctor who really cares about his patients, there’s no shame in letting your passion shine through or in telling other people you know about how much you love what you do.  Plus, sharing your passion with others can help you get a new perspective on the thing that you love. Maybe you’ll get another insight into how you can do what you do even better. Sharing your enthusiasm with others can also remind you of how much you love whatever you do. Keeping it all to yourself can make your pursuit feel lonely or unrewarding. Sharing it with others can help you see why it’s important. Another key part of being a passionate person is being able to learn from your mistakes and using them to make you better at pursuing what you love. You don’t want to be the person who makes the same mistake again and again and who takes no steps to do better the next time around. Whenever you make a mistake, ask yourself what you could have done differently and how you can use that experience to succeed the next time around.  Don’t feel like you’ve completely wasted your time just because you failed. No failure is completely worth it and you can use it to help you the next time around. No experience should be discounted, and the effort you put into failing one time can actually benefit you the next time around. If you’re given constructive criticism, make sure to use it as much as you can. Don’t be too proud to think that you have no room for improvement. Make sure to take the time to regroup after every failure or mistake and to stop and ask yourself what you can do differently the next time around. If you blindly move toward your next venture after failing without stopping to ask yourself how to prevent the same thing from happening again, then you’re not likely to have different results the next time around. If you really care about your passion, then you won’t let a few—or a few hundred—rejections stop you from doing what you really care about. People who truly care about their passions know that rejection is just part of the game and they learn to push past it and to continue to do what they love. If you expect to succeed after the first few tries, then you’ll have a hard time really making the most of your passion. You can be the type of person who wallpapers your room with rejection letters as motivation or the kind who just shrugs and throws them away. The most important thing is not to let them define you.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Use benzoyl peroxide. Try salicylic acid. Apply essential oils to problem areas. Give your face a steam treatment. Make an egg white mask. Try an apple cider vinegar toner.

Answer:
Benzoyl peroxide kills the bacteria responsible for acne, so applying it to your forehead will help get rid of the acne there. It also has the added benefit of removing dead skin and excess oils, which will unclog your pores.

It may dry out your skin, make it scale as it dries, or cause stinging, burning, and redness at the site of application. Use it only as directed on the package. In addition to benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid can be found in over-the-counter cleansers and other facial products to help with your forehead acne. Products contain between 0.5% to 5% concentration of the acid.  Side effects can include skin irritation and stinging. Apply a small amount to the skin as wait three days to see if your experience irritation. Do not use for longer period of time or do not use more than prescribed — apply only as directed by your doctor or the directions on the packaging.  Salicylic acid is intended for use on the skin only — avoid applying it too close to your eyes, nostrils, or mouth. Use a Q-tip or a cotton ball to spot-treat areas on your forehead. Essential oils may irritate your skin, so dilute one drop of essential oil with one drop of a carrier oil, such as jojoba, olive, or coconut. If your skin is sensitive, introduce the oil slowly. You can leave the oil on the skin or use warm water to rinse it off. Essential oils to try are:  Tea tree oil  Oregano oil Spearmint or peppermint oils  Thyme  Calendula  Rosemary oil  Lavender Bergamot oil Steam opens up your pores and helps get out the impurities. It’s also simple and cheap. To make a steam treatment:  Fill a pot with water and heat it on the stove until it starts producing steam. Place the steaming water into a bowl and place it on the table. Lean over the bowl, keeping your face at least 12 inches from the bowl. Steam can cause severe burns, so be very careful. Cover your head with a towel and stay over the steam for 15 minutes. Dry your face afterwards. After the steam treatment, you can exfoliate or use a mask to help reduce the oil. You can add a few drops of an essential oil to your steam treatment. Egg whites help with discoloration while firming and toning the skin. When preparing an egg white mask, make sure to whip the egg whites until they are foamy, like a meringue. You can add things like lemon for bleaching or honey for antibacterial properties.  Mix three egg whites and one tablespoon of fresh lemon juice in a bowl until it’s white and foamy with peaks. Apply the mixture to a clean face with clean hands. Do not allow the mixture to enter your mouth, nose, or eyes. Leave for 15 minutes. Then rinse with warm water. Pat skin dry. Make sure you wash your hands after handling the egg whites. Apply moisturizer. Mix one tablespoon of vinegar with two cups of water. Apply it to your face with a cotton ball. Apple cider vinegar is believed to help even out skin tone and reduce acne. Be aware apple cider vinegar may irritate sensitive skin. Start with a larger ratio of water to vinegar if you have sensitive skin.
