Waar ben je geplant?
In de natuur is de plaats waar je geplant bent erg belangrijk. 
Het bepaalt wanneer je zonlicht zult ontvangen en voor hoeveel uur. Het bepaalt ook hoeveel beschutting je van de elementen zoals de wind en de regen hebt. Je plek bepaalt ook hoeveel ruimte je hebt om te groeien en of jouw type plant zijn volledige potentie kan bereiken. 

In het leven is het daarom belangrijk dat we uitzoeken waar we zijn geplant en wat voor soort plant wij zijn. Zo zal het makkelijker voor je worden om jouw eigen verwachtingen te managen en rekening te houden met je eigen specifieke behoeftes. 

Where are you planted?
In nature the place where you are planted is very important.
It determines when you will receive sunlight and for how many hours. It also determines how much shelter you have from the elements like the wind and the rain. Your spot also determines how much room you have to grow and whether your type of plant can reach its full potential.

In life it is therefore very important that you find out where you are planted and what kind of plant you are. This way it will be easier to manage your expectations and cater to your own specific needs.

HSK2-7-2 在去机场的路上

Spanish star Rafael Nadal is retiring from professional tennis at the age of 38, he has announced.

Nadal won 22 Grand Slam singles titles during his career, including the French Open 14 times.

He has been one of the greatest players of the modern game, sharing his time at the top with his longtime rivals Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic.

The tennis world has long debated which man should be called the "Greatest of All Time" — or "GOAT."

Nadal hasn't been able to compete much during the past two seasons because of injuries. He has entered just two of the last eight major tournaments.

He said that next month's Davis Cup finals — when he'll play for Spain — will be his final tournament.

"It is obviously a difficult decision, one that has taken me some time to make," he said. "But in this life, everything has a beginning and an end."

Nadal was known for his physical style of play — he played every point as though it were his last, but he was especially strong on clay courts.

There is a statue of Nadal outside those slow, red courts in Paris on which he enjoyed so much success.

As well as his French Open titles, he won the US Open four times and won Wimbledon and the Australian Open twice each.

"I think it is the appropriate time to put an end to a career that has been long and much more successful than I could have ever imagined," Nadal said.

His last major title came in Paris in June 2022. Nadal's tally of Grand Slams has since been surpassed by Djokovic, who has now won 24 majors.

In total, the Spaniard won 92 singles titles, spent 209 weeks as the world's number one player and earned almost $135 million in prize money.

He said: "Really, everything I have experienced has been a dream come true."
