Someone asked How to develop our personality ?
Answer : you have to spend five days to have these five experiences to really blossom your personality in life.
You have to play SINCERELY these five roles:
⭕️ 1. The first role which I would recommend to you is to be a School Teacher.
Being a nursery or primary school teacher, even for one day, you will see how you have to increase your patience.
⭕️ 2. Be a Gardener or spend a day with a Farmer.
You will value food and you will not waste food.
You know, what we do?
⭕️ 3. You should spend a day in the mental hospital
Whatever people talk in the mental hospital, you don’t mind.
If they scold you,
if they blame you,
if they curse you,
will you mind?
You don’t mind because you are aware that this person is mentally sick.
You know that many people are outside the hospital, but that does not mean they are mentally well.
So, in life, you come across people who blame you for nothing, who are jealous or angry, who say things that make no sense. Then, you know, you will have the patience to deal with them with a smile.
⭕️ 4. One day you must go to a prison. Maybe it is shocking to you.
You don’t have to do a wrong thing to go to a prison.
Just go visit a prison, spend a little time with the prisoners.
You will understand what compassion is.
What helplessness is.
Those people did a mistake without awareness.
So you will know how you must have a say on your emotions.
⭕️ 5. There are terminally ill people in the hospital
One day with them, and you will realize how precious life is.
And you will start valuing health.
You will eat better,
you will exercise.
You will do all that is needed to be more vibrant in your life.
I guess from these five days you will become
More Vibrant, More Alive, More Loving, Compassionate and Active.

🔉 Wish 🔉
'I wish to' can mean the same as 'I want to' but it is much, much more formal and less common.
✴️ Example
➕ I wish to see the manager.
➖ I wish to make a complaint.
You can also use 'wish' with a noun to 'offer good wishes'.
➕ I wish you a merry Christmas.
Hence that when you want to offer good wishes using a verb, you must use 'hope ' and not 'wish'.
➕I wish you the best of luck.
✔️ noun
➖I hope you have the best of luck.
✔️verb
However, the main use of 'wish' is to say that we would like things to be different from what they are, that we have regrets about the present situation.
➕I wish I were with you then.
➖He wishes he could fly.
Notice that the verb tense which follows 'I wish' is 'more in the past' than the tense corresponding to its meaning.
➕I never get invited to parties. I wish I got invited more.
➖I'm too emotional. I wish I were more logical.
In the case of 'will' , where 'will' means 'show willingness' we use 'would'.
➕He won't help me. I wish he would help me.
➖You've eaten too much. I wish you would stop.
‼️‼️‼️
Where 'will' means a future event, we cannot use 'wish' and must use 'hope'.
✔️I hope the bus will arrive soon.
✖️I wish the bus will arrive soon.
⚠️ I was/were ⚠️
Grammatically speaking, with 'wish' you should use 'I were' and not 'I was'; However, informally speaking you can say I wish I was.

⭕️ The difference between
"Dinner & Supper"
👉What does dinner mean?
‼️Dinner is a noun. It can either refer to the largest meal of the day or a gathering of people at a formal event that features a meal.
📒 Ex: My speech at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner was universally regarded as a smashing success.
📒 Ex: I made my wife baked Alaskan salmon for dinner, but she did not like it.
👉When is dinner?
Dinner refers to the size of the meal, not the time it is eaten. In many Western cultures, the largest meal is eaten in the evening. At other times throughout history, however, dinner was eaten in the middle of the day, or during the afternoon.
👉What does supper mean?
‼️Supper usually refers to a lighter meal eaten in the evening. The term has its roots in farming traditions, when a large meal would be eaten around noon, followed by a lighter meal in the evening, often consisting of a soup.
📒Ex: Mama called the boys in from the fields for supper.
📒 Ex: Jojo would eat 50 suppers a day if his mother would let him.
📒Ex: Supper was good, but I am still hungry.
👉 When is supper?
Unlike dinner, which doesn’t necessarily refer to a time, supper is a meal eaten in the evening.

✳️ GRAMMAR
Who _Whom
According to the rules of grammar, the word who should be used when it is the subject of a sentence, and whom should be used when it is the object or if it comes after a preposition.
✳️ A Simple Explanation of the Difference between Who and Whom
🔶The difference between who and whom is that whom is used in the objective case, and who is used as a subjective pronoun.
Compare:
🔸 Alan was playing the guitar. > Who was playing the guitar? He was playing the guitar.
🔸 I saw Ivan at the party. > Whom did you see at the party? I saw him at the party.
🔻As can be seen from these examples, the rule is: if you can answer the question using he, then it’s correct to use who in the interrogative sentence. If you answer using him, then use whom.
🔹 The policeman was talking to the man. > To whom was the policeman talking?
🔹The man who was carrying the bags is Mary’s brother.
🔹The girl whom I saw at the party is my friend’s sister.
🔹The girl to whom the ugly man was talking is Jim’s daughter.
🔶In these sentences, who is the subject of the sentence, while whom is the object. Whom also is used after prepositions.
While whom can only be used as the object or after a preposition, who can play the role of both subject and object.
Whom is not used frequently in modern conversational English, although it is used and accepted in writing or a formal speech.
If a sentence is long or complicated, making it difficult to separate the preposition and noun, preposition + whomcan be used in conversational speech as well.
🔻We had already known the man who became the head of the office.
🔻The clients who need more information can write an email to customer support service.
🔺Who did you see at the party?
🔺Whom did you see at the party? (not common, but acceptable)
🔺 Who was the ugly man talking to?
🔺To whom was the ugly man talking?
🔺Who can we call in case of emergency?
🔺Whom can we call in case of emergency?

Some embarrassing grammar mistakes and how to avoid them
How you say what you say matters, especially in professional contexts.
♻️ Irregular verbs.
English has quite a few surprises. We can't list all the irregular verbs, but be aware that they exist:
For example, "broadcast" is the same in the present tense and the past tense.
❌ "Broadcasted" is not
standard English.
"Yesterday, CNN broadcast a show."
The same goes for "forecast":
"Last night they forecast rain."
"Sneak" and "hang" fall into the category of irregular verbs, but the list is extensive, and you'll have to look into them individually.
♻️ "Nor" and "or."
Use "nor" before the second alternative when "neither" introduces the first. Think of it as "or" for negative sentences — and, no, it's not optional.
Neither Jenny nor I understand the new program.
You can also use "nor" with a negative first clause or sentence including "not":
My boss didn't understand the program — nor did I.
♻️ "Then" and "than."
There's a pretty simple distinction between these two words.
Use "then" when talking about time, as in
"We had a meeting, and then we went to lunch."
Use "than" in comparisons:
"This meeting was more productive than the last one."
♻️ Fewer and Less
➡️ Use "fewer" when you're talking about countable things:
"He ate five fewer hot dogs than his rival."
"Fewer people attended the meeting this week."
➡️ Use "less" for things you normally don't count, like duration:
"It took me less than three hours to read the entire book."
"There's less water in this glass."
