For example, in the same garage a man may buy a car or some service which helps him maintain his car.The work people do is called as economic activity. All economic activities taken together make up the economic system of a

The work people do either provides what they need or provides the money with that they can by essential commodities. Of course, most people hope to have enough money to buy commodities

55、losure results from the panicked feeling that you still have a million things to do. One way to obtain closure is divide a task into manageable goals, list them, and check them off your list as you finish them. For example, suppose your historic teacher assigns three chapters to be read. If your goa

A more effective way to complete the assignment is to divide the reading into smaller goals by thinking each chapter as a separate goal. Thus you experience success as you complete. each chapter.

If changing from one task to another serves as a break, changing tasks too often waste time. Each time you switch, you lose momentum. You may be unable to change mental gears fast enough. You may find yourself thinking about the old project when you should be concentrating in the new one. In addition, when you return to your first task, you have to review
