What does it mean to be a real man in our times?

Nowadays, there are a lot of different definitions of being a man that I don't agree with. Some people think that to be a man, you have to be strong and like "manly" things like sports. In my opinion, a "real man" doesn't exist. All men are real men. Whether you're into sports or fashion, whether you're strong or not, it doesn't matter. Even if you don't fit into society's definition of a real man, as long as you consider yourself one, no one can tell you otherwise.

    In that case, is there any difference between men and women, apart from biology?

Reflection #9

I consider myself a quite supportive person. Whenever my friend does something well, I always congratulate them and I'm happy for them. This doesn't change the fact that whenever my friend does something better than me, for example when they get a better grade on a test, I get jealous. I do not like being worse at something. I have realised that even though many people say jealousy is bad, I do not fully agree. I think jealousy is a natural thing, it is an emotion you often cannot control. It isn't a bad thing, what matters is how you handle it. It's ok to feel jealous as long as you don't act on it. Whenever I get jealous of my friend doing something better than me, I am happy for them despite feeling this way because I know that if it was the other way around, they would do the same for me. As long as you don't let it affect your actions, jealousy isn't harmful to you or the people around you.

Reflection #3

I’m not really a morning person and I hate getting out of bed early. Everyday when I wake up, I tell myself that I just have to make it through this week and then I will be able to enjoy my weekend. Today, that thought made me realise two things. Firstly, whenever we have to do something we really don’t want to do, we tend to set ourselves little goals that we can reach. Having something to look forward to helps us go through with what we have to do, even if it is something we really don’t enjoy. Secondly, I realised how repeating that is. When we wake up on Monday morning, we tell ourselves that we have to get through the week and then we’ll be able to enjoy our weekend. However, the weekend passes too quickly for our liking and we have to get through the weekdays again, which makes us stuck in some kind of never-ending loop of looking forward to things only for them to pass too quickly.

Can dogs smell cancer?

Obraz
You might have already heard somewhere, from a friend, the news or the internet, that dogs can smell some diseases. You either believed it or you didn’t, but today I am telling you that it is indeed true. Many studies have shown that not only can dogs smell cancer, they can detect it at a very early stage. They are also able to identify the type of cancer the person has. The reason behind that is that, as we all know, a dog’s smell is a lot better than ours (more accurately, about 100 000 times better). According to studies, cancerous cells release a different smell than the healthy ones. The difference cannot be seen by humans but, due to their amplified sense of smell, it can be identified by dogs. For example, they can detect prostate cancer just by sniffing the patient’s urine. It has been proven that, apart from the prostate cancer, dogs can also smell ovarian cancer, bladder cancer, skin cancer and lung cancer.   http://www.dogsnaturallymagazine.com/can-dogs...
