Article: The first, and most basic Taoist principle, is that people and nature are not separate. Everything in the universe is part of the same system. As a Taoist, you can focus on oneness by being more selfless - pay less attention to your own needs and instead focus on others. For example, you can do something like serving in a soup kitchen. This is one way to remember that people with less than you are still connected to you. Just because everything in the universe is part of the same system doesn't mean there aren't distinctions. Taoists believe that there are two basic distinctions - described as yin and yang - in all of nature. Dark and light are part of the same system because they can't exist without one another, but they are also distinct. The principle of dynamic balance can be helpful if you're struggling in life. Remind yourself that according to this principle, happiness could not exist without sadness. The principle of cyclical growth is related to dynamic balance. Opposites balance each other out, but they don't usually occur at the same time. Instead, they move through cycles. So winter and summer balance one another, but winter is followed by summer and summer is followed by winter. Cyclical growth can help you understand where your life is going. If you're experiencing grief after the death of a loved one, remind yourself that happiness will eventually come. It might be a while, but grief will eventually give way to happiness. Taoists believe that because seeming opposites actually balance each other and cycle together, you can make one opposite from the other. A bamboo stick is a good example of this concept: In wind, bamboo bends, but doesn't break. By bending to the wind, the bamboo stick survives it, instead of staying straight and breaking in half. For example, if you're dealing with a difficult time, accept that it will be difficult and accept your grief or sadness. By doing so, you won't wear yourself out trying to be strong.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Focus on oneness. See the dynamic balance in everything. Look for cyclical growth. Perform harmonious action.
Article: You can type up your permission slips using a program like Microsoft Word, Google Docs, or Pages. For most cases, use a clear and standard font such as Times New Roman or Arial in size 11 or 12. Answer all the questions that pertain to the specific activity. These could include: who, what, when, where, why, how much, as well as the means of transportation. This information, which summarizes the trip, should be at the top of the document. Here is an example of how these questions can be answered in the permission slip:  Who: Mrs. Tucker’s English class What: The class will be taking a trip to the Alberta Street Library. When: 8:30 am - 11:30 am, Friday, May 10th, 2019 Where: The Alberta Street Library Why: The class will be going to take a tour of the library. Cost: No cost Means of Transportation: We will take a school bus. Include the contact information for your school so they can be contacted with any questions. You need to have a statement where the parent or guardian writes that they give permission for their child to take the trip. Here is an example of this line: I, (parent or guardian’s name), give permission for my child, (child’s name), to attend the field trip to (location of field trip) with (organization or adult’s name who is leading the trip). If a child has specific allergies or a medical condition, or if the trip is over an extended period of time, include space for the parent or guardian to give information about allergies and medical conditions. Write this as, “Relevant Allergies/Medical Conditions:_________.” Create a line for an emergency contact phone number on the slip. This is the person that can be called if something happens to the child and their parent or guardian can't be reached. You can write "Emergency Contact Name: _________" and "Emergency Contact Phone Number: _________." Perhaps the most important part of the permission slip is the parent or guardian’s signature. At the bottom of all the information about the trip, the parent or guardian needs to sign the paper! Write “Parent or Guardian Signature: _________” at the bottom of the slip.
