“Concentrating, especially when i need to really hit the books, or work on an assignment with a deadline is something I can say I’ve honestly had a big problem with over the years,mainly because of the distractions caused by my mobile phone. I often racked my brains on how to best deal with the problem as it was really interfering with my studies.  However, one of my classmates who also had a similar problem recently recommended an app to me, which he absolutely swears by, and told me how it has helped him so much.

The app in question is called Forest, and the main idea, as well as setting it up is as easy as pie. You open the app, and say you want to plant a tree,and then you put the phone down. If you lift your phone or open another app after this your tree will die. However if you can last 25 minutes, your tree will live, and you can then aim to build a whole forest.




As simple as this app is, I have found it to be a massive help in improving my concentration, as well keeping me from being distracted by my mobile. It has definitely made me become more productive in my studies, and I now get my assignments finished on time, without having to stay up all night burning the midnight oil. This very simple app has really been a godsend and I would have no hesitation in recommending it to anyone who finds their mobile a distraction.

《礼记》说：“入竟而问禁，入国而问俗，入门而问讳。”这句话的意思是，到某个地方，要了解那个地方的禁忌；去某个国家，要了解那个国家的风俗习惯；上某家做客要了解那户人家的家讳。除了”避名讳“这一禁忌，中国还有很多禁忌与崇拜有关，与语言有关。本篇简单介绍了古时候的讳名和禁忌语，希望大家对此有所了解。

چون عهده نمی شود کسی فردا را، حالی خوش دار این دل پر شیدا را
مِی نوش به ماهتاب ای ماه که ماه، بسیار بتابد و نیابد ما را

Yon rising Moon that looks for us again--
How oft hereafter will she wax and wane;
How oft hereafter rising look for us
Through this same Garden--and for one in vain!
