This week, I had interesting conversations with my students about destiny. We had conflicting views about it but I wanted to share my insights about destiny, hard work and following your dreams.

the difference between 放松 and 轻松, show me with examples
放松 (fàng sōng) and 轻松 (qīng sōng) are both adjectives that can be translated as "relaxed" in English. However, there are some subtle differences in how they are used.
放松 (fàng sōng)  is a more general term that refers to the state of being relaxed or at ease. For example:
我喜欢做瑜伽，因为它能让我放松。(I like doing yoga because it helps me relax.)
wǒ xǐ huān zuò yú jiā, yīn wéi tā néng ràng wǒ fàng sōng.
假期让我放松许多。(The vacation helped me relax a lot.)
jià qī ràng wǒ fàng sōng xǔ duō.

轻松 (qīng sōng) on the other hand, is often used to describe an activity or task that is easy and not very demanding. For example:
这道题目太轻松了，我很快就会做出来。(This problem is too easy. I'll finish it quickly.)
zhè dào tí mù tài qīng sōng le, wǒ hěn kuài jiù huì zuò chū lái.
这项工作对我来说很轻松。(This job is very easy for me.)
zhè xiàng gōng zuò duì wǒ lái shuō hěn qīng sōng.

So, while both words refer to a state of relaxation, 放松 is more general and refers to a general feeling of relaxation, while 轻松 is more specific and refers to an activity or task that is easy and not very demanding.

       兔子和乌龟要赛跑了。小鸟一叫：“一二三！”兔子就飞快地跑了出去。乌龟一步一步地向前爬。兔子跑了一会儿，回头看不见乌龟，他很得意，就想：“乌龟爬得真慢，我睡一觉，等他追上来我再跑，我仍然可以得第一。”这样一想，兔子就睡起觉来了。
        乌龟在后面不停地向前爬，从兔子身边爬了过去，一直爬到了终点，得了第一名，可兔子还在那儿睡大觉呢！
