Things To Do While You Are Stuck At Home

Image
 By: Dilan Mehta Okay, so I'm cooped up inside the house, no school because of the COVID-19 Coronavirus. And I know a lot of things are shut down, everything is closed, people have to stay home. But you can still be active and do things. I encourage you to go outside every day, get some sunshine. I am always in my backyard, playing with my brother, and that helps a lot. And it is also an opportunity to learn something new. I am trying to pick up new chords on my guitar, for Stairway to Heaven, and I've been improving my sprint time. So since a lot of us are bored, it is time to pick up a new project, something to do. Here are some websites that can help, because doing something new can be very beneficial, so I thought I would add this post.  https://www.kennedy-center.org/education/mo-willems/ This website can help you learn to doodle and draw with Mo Willems, the celebrated children's book author.

Warning: Post Contains Spoilers! Review By: Dilan Mehta This is a great book of Gordon Korman's that I have just read. It is about Eli, Amber, Malik, Hector, and Tori.

Later, when Eli finds a secret note that Randy left him, he says he's actually going to boarding school, and that something very screwy is going on in Serenity. And something is. Eli shows the note to his father, who has him take pills that make him forget about the note. Eli doesn't take th

FEATURED POST: Adults: Never Split the Difference

Review By: Dilan Mehta Never Split The Difference: Negotiating as if your life depended on it By: Chris Voss                                                    Chris Voss is the former lead hostage negotiator for the FBI. With dozens of high-stakes negotiations around the world, Chriss shares some of his expertise and techniques in this book.    Notes: *What I learned is that the key to getting what you want is to never split the difference, while at the same time, make sure your counterpart feels like they are being treated fairly. This means to not compromise. A lot of people think this is a good idea, but in reality, it is terrible and almost always ends in a disaster. So how do you get exactly what you wanted in the beginning? I found the strategies in this book very helpful. *Tactical Empathy: At first, don't focus on logic and problem-solving.  Humans are wild, irrational animals, driven by emotion. The book teaches that we should empathize with their situation be
