Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Stop judging yourself so harshly. Forgive the person you envy and yourself. Turn your envy into appreciation. Use your envy to generate a goal.

Answer: When you're envious of someone else, it often stems from feelings of personal inadequacy. You're focused on how someone else has the career, partner, possessions, or intelligence you want, and these desires are rooted in what you perceive to be your own shortcomings. Try to back down from judging yourself so harshly and you won't be as inclined to compare your situation unfavorably to someone else's.  For example, maybe you're envious of your friend's amazing career, which has taken off while yours is still in its fledgling stage. Try to be more patient with yourself - you'll get your turn in the spotlight if you just keep working hard. Envy stems from being judgmental in general - thinking that this is better than that, and making your decisions based on getting what you don't have. Try to  be more open minded instead of deciding that some qualities are good to have and some aren't. Forgiveness is an important part of moving past envy because resenting someone for their success will only weigh you down. One exercise that may help you to deal with envy is to declare your forgiveness for the person that you envy (not in their presence, of course) and for yourself as well. Simply take a moment when you are alone to verbalize your forgiveness.  Remember that you are not forgiving the other person for wrongdoing. You are choosing to view their situation from their perspective. By considering their perspective, you can empathize with their pride and accomplishments in a compassionate way. For example, you might say something like, “I am proud with Sharon for having so much success in her career. I also forgive myself for being behind her on my path to success.” To overcome envy, it is important to appreciate what you already have as well as what the person you envy has earned. One way that you can start to change your perspective and overcome your envy is to find a way to appreciate the success or fortune of others. Work on developing a sense of happiness for the person who achieved or obtained what you envy them for. For example, try to be happy for a friend who can afford a sports car and change your envy into admiration. It might help you to state your admiration out loud. For example, you might say to your friend, “Congratulations on the new car! I am really happy for you and all of your success.” Once you have identified the cause of your envy, you can deal with it in a constructive way by turning it into something positive, such as a goal. Using your envy to form a realistic, achievable goal will help you to stop dwelling on your negative feelings and feel empowered to change something in your life for the better.  For example, if you are envious of a friend’s new sports car because you wish you had the financial freedom to afford something like that, make it your goal to earn and/or save more money. Break larger goals into smaller, measurable goals. For example, if your goal is to earn and/or save more money. One of your smaller goals might be to look for a higher paying job or find out about opportunities for advancement at your current job. Another small goal might be to save $20 per week.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Check your phone’s signal. Test alternate voicemail contacts. Dial “##004#” to reset call forwarding. Delete text messages if you are not receiving voicemail notifications.

Answer: Dialing voicemail requires cell signal like any other call. If reception is poor you may have trouble connecting to your mailbox. If you are having trouble connecting to your voicemail by pressing and holding “1”, you can also dial “123” or “1-805-637-7249”. If these methods work, but holding “1” does not, then your voicemail feature may have been set up incorrectly by T-Mobile and you should contact them for support. If you find that unanswered calls aren’t being redirected to your voicemail, you can enter this button combo and press “Send” to reset forwarding. Your phone may need to be reset for the changes to take effect. If text messaging is functioning and your phone is up to date, you can try to delete all of your text messages, then reset your phone. Leave a test voicemail to check that notifications are now working.

Answer: These options are great because they add a crunch to your salad and they contain some vitamins and minerals, but they also won’t overpower your plate with any one particular flavor. Always rinse off lettuce before you use it.  Use a salad spinner to rinse and dry your lettuce, or simply run the leaves under water and gently pat them dry with a clean paper towel. You can buy pre-cut lettuce from the store, or you can buy whole bunches of lettuce. If you buy a bunch, rinse off the leaves and either tear them into bite-sized pieces by hand, or use a clean knife and cutting board to chop them up. If you’re looking for a salad base that’ll have more antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals, look for greens that are darker in color. Kale, arugula, and spinach are all great options that will create a hardy base for the rest of your salad ingredients.  Arugula has a peppery flavor. Raw kale can be tough to chew. Use baby kale for a softer option, or cut away and discard the stems from kale leaves to make them easier to eat. Use red and green cabbage. Buy pre-sliced bags from the store, or use a knife and cutting board to chop up the cabbage into 1⁄4 in (0.64 cm) slices. Toss the slaw in a vinegar-based dressing, or simply leave it plain and add in the other salad ingredients. The most common cabbages are the cannonball cabbage and the red cabbage, but you can also use bok choy, napa cabbage, savoy cabbage, and January king cabbage. Check out the produce section at your grocery store to see what options are available.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Hold the knife in your dominant hand. Hold the fork points-down with your non-dominant hand. Cut a bite of your food with the knife while using the fork to stabilize it. Use the tips of the fork to spear your food and bring it to your mouth. Put your cutlery on the plate side-by-side, angled to the right, after you finish.

Answer:
Pick up the knife from your place setting with your dominant hand. Hold it with the index finger along the top part of the handle. In a standard place setting, the knife will be placed on the right side. This is because most people are right-handed. Pick up the fork from the table using your non-dominant hand. Hold it with the points facing downward towards your food and your index finger on the back of the handle. For example, if you are right-handed, then pick the fork up with your left hand. Flip it so the pointy parts, called the tines, are facing the table and place the tip of your index finger on the back of the handle around the part where the handle is curved. . Place the tines of the fork against the food you want to cut and slice off a piece with the knife. Only cut a bite at a time and eat it before you cut the next piece.  You should never place your cutlery down on the table after cutting your food and starting to eat. Cutting up all your food at once and then placing your knife down is also considered an etiquette no-no. In some cases, it is acceptable to eat using only a fork. For example, when you are eating just a salad or a bowl of spaghetti, it is not necessary to use a knife. Keep your knife in your dominant hand the whole time you are eating. It is, of course, acceptable to use your fork to scoop certain types of foods that naturally can’t be speared. You can use the knife to help push food that can’t be speared, like rice, onto your fork. This is the only time it is considered polite to place your fork and knife down during dining. Place all cutlery meant for that course, even if you didn’t use a particular utensil, onto the plate when you are finished.  For example, if the main course was spaghetti and you only used a fork to eat it, you should still place the knife on the plate when you are finished eating. Make sure to place the fork tines-down to indicate that you are finished. For example, this is especially important if you are in a European restaurant and you want the waiter to see that you are done.
