The last Saturday of April is dedicated to World Tai Chi and Qigong Day, promoting the disciplines in more than 80 countries since 1999. This year it falls on April 25th. Tai Chi and Qi Qong are both mind-body practices consisting of coordinated body postures, movements, breathing, and meditation that has roots in ancient Chinese medicine, philosophy and martial arts. These practices are widely used for health purposes, as a way to cultivate and balance qi (life energy), so it flows smoothly within us.

Success in exams isn’t about being the smartest person in the room. It’s about being the most prepared, the most focused, and the most disciplined when it counts. You don’t need to know everything — you just need to know what you studied, and believe it’s enough. Turn off the panic, turn on the plan. Read each question twice, answer what you know first, and don’t let one hard question steal your confidence. You’ve put in the hours. Now let the results catch up to the work. Go in there and prove it to yourself (Words of Wisdom)

Be present: focus on the here and now. Don’t worry about yesterday, that’s history. Don’t get discouraged about tomorrow, that’s a mystery. But today is a gift, that’s why it’s called the present (Credit APA)
