在他临行之前，一针一线密密地缝制着，只因为担心儿子迟迟不能归来。

可以报答慈母像春晖一样温暖的恩情呢？

Letter X

En este episodio hablo de mi primer viaje a la ciudad de Medellìn, en Colombia, cual fue mi experiencia y la transformaciòn que tuvo la ciudad despuès de haber vivido una època muy violenta hace aproximadamente 30 años. En que modo se ve reflejado el amor de los paisas (como se llama a las personas de esta regiòn)  por la ciudad y ese trato siempre amable, gentil y cariñoso que hacen los turistas se enamoren de este lugar. A nivel gramatical: uso de tiempos del indicativo: presente, pretèrito perfecto, indefinido e imperfecto. Vocabulario: lugares turìsticos de la ciudad de Medellìn y algunos de los platos de comida tìpicos.

Whether you live to work or you work to live, having a healthy work-life balance is good for both you and your employer.

Here are just a few ways to keep your balance healthy!

Plan
It can help to plan your time, making sure to include social activities in those plans, says Allaya Cooks-Campbell from job coaching website BetterUp.

Even scheduling a night in front of the TV is enough — it will give you a bit of time to switch off.

If you're able to, you could also plan to take short breaks during the day, and perhaps even use them to take a walk or read a few pages of a book.

Use apps to help
Cooks-Campbell also suggests using an app to block distracting websites during the work day — which might include things like social media.

You can then do the same in the evening and block work apps, if you find it difficult to stop checking them.

Be kind to yourself
It's important to be realistic about your work-life balance, and not to get too stressed if you don't follow your plan. That's according to Kate Eby from work management company Smartsheet.

Being kind to yourself, she says, can help you improve your mental health.

Talk to your boss
If you're finding it difficult to get your work-life balance right, speaking to your manager may be a good idea — although not everyone will feel comfortable doing this.

It may be that you have been given too much work to do, or there is a better way to do it — and talking to your boss could help you work smarter, not harder.

However, Cooks-Campbell says different things work for different people — so you have to find what's right for you!

Plan, Be Kind: Tips for a Healthy Work-Life Balance

"Not all heroes wear capes."

This is a phrase that's often used online to talk about normal people who do amazing things.

They don't need a cape — like Superman — to do something amazing.

But here's a hero who not only didn't wear a cape — he didn't have a name either.

Or at least, he kept his name a secret.

This is the story of a Filipino man in Japan who saved a young boy from the sea in Fukuoka city.

A 6-year-old boy was at Hakozaki pier with his family when he fell about 2 meters down into the water below. His family didn't notice at first that he had fallen, but the Filipino man did.

He was fishing nearby, and jumped into the sea to keep the boy safe while they waited to be helped out of the water.

The 6-year-old was not wearing a life jacket, and the coast guard said if the man had not jumped in, the boy could have been in trouble.

The Filipino man, who is 26 and lives in Fukuoka, gave his details to the coast guard afterward. But when the family asked for his name and his contact information, he declined and went home.

Some reports said he replied that he was not worth identifying.

SoraNews24 said the man replied in Japanese: "I'm not important enough for people to need to be concerned about my name."

The website said this is a phrase that is more likely to be used in action movies or manga, perhaps by a hero who has just saved the day.

The Filipino man was not hurt, while the boy was taken to hospital.
