Can depression be overcome?People get depressed when they come to realise how helpless they are while facing the fate, when they notice that they can do nothing to change their bad day but to compromise. And sometimes we get upset to find some of our expectations are too high to live up to.There are definitly some relations between depression and bad luck. Because most peopleare accustomed to owe their faliures to a bad luck rather than analyses the problems. And thanks to their poor reasoning, they are probably to confront more faliures which will in turns leave them more depressed.Depression, from my perspective, can certainly be overcome once we make up our mind. Because it is just a reflection of our mood, and mood is obviously under our control. So all we have to do is just calm down and keep rational and try to rethink the present situation in an objective way.2.Mention at least three reasons people get angry?

For example, all scientists, engineers, teachers, musicians and athletes must receive years of rigorous traning before they can do their work properly and stand out from the rest.Without hard work, they have almost no hope of success at all, opportunity favors those who are well prepared.I think success is due more to diligence. if you wang to be success,you should make hard effort then other peoples.as the saying goes Chances favor the minds that are prepared 8.Do you think the computer and the Internet as sources of entertainment?
