A cuppa no-sweetener-coffee for my efforts

This might happen because they tend to give smartphone to their children in attempt to prevent them from crying. It is in a way an effective way to direct their focus to something – in this case a smartphone. However, this plan will not last for a longer period. Instead, it is mostly possible will backfire them. Although there is also benefit for providing children with smartphone, such as giving them access to learn things outside of school by themselves, the backfire sure is even frightener.

In my case, I think giving away smartphone to children at early age will result more in the negative development. Children should have the time and freedom to learn from the outside world, not only from the virtual world inside a smartphone.

First of all, the table shows there are three main sources of police budget. One is from the National Government, then the Local Taxes, and the other is coming from other sources, such as grants.

The highest budget always comes from the National Government and the lowest always comes from the other sources. Fortunately, in 2018, all sources provides more budget for the police. Moreover, the budget from the Local Taxes have the most significant additional budget, from 91.2 million pounds in 2017 to 102.3 million pounds in 2018. While the other two sources are also giving more budget, it is not that significant compared to the Local Taxes. In total, there is more budget from 2017 (307.7 million pounds) to 2018 (318.6 million pounds).

The police spent the money for three main sectors: salaries for the officers and staff, technology, and lastly for the buildings and transport.

In my opinion, even if we failed to do something risky or dangerous, we can learn from them, hence making the disadvantages of failing and/or losing something more meaningful.

People who ran away from their mistakes will never learn anything. They will only experience failures and lives with that experience. While having a break from your mistakes is considered acceptable, it is best to understand your mistakes and learn from them more rather than mourning and do nothing. Therefore, you can do it better and with fewer mistakes.

My most meaningful risk I ever took was the topic of my undergraduate thesis. While I am not a fan of history, I pushed myself to write and create a radio drama based on a history: Shikhandi story. It took me longer than expected to finish the project, however, the journey was fruitfully and meaningful. I learned to manage my time and my emotions better, I learned how to research by my own, I even learned to love the historical characters, even though I have little interest to historical fictions. And, most of all, I managed to write my thesis as if I'm a published writer, thanks to my humble lecturer.

There will be time when we finally realise how fruitfully the risks we took. It might be tomorrow, next week, or even years later, however, risks will taught us various things before we even realised them. Embrace those mistakes, take the challenge of risks, and learn from them.

There is a saying that it is important to take risks in our lives, especially in our 20s, according to successful people. However, some people are afraid to take risks because of the disadvantages.

Given my preferences, I prefer to plan my free time. However, I want to plan it as leisurely as possible, meaning I will not plan the details, such as what I specifically am going to do when I go to a cafe or what I want to read in the library.

Planning is not a bad thing. However, since this is free time or leisure time, it is best for me to only jot down the places I want to go or activities I want to do inside my head. I can say that is "leisure planning", planning while keeping the fun.

This comes in handy when I have a prior plan with my friend or family, ahead of time or at random timing, thus making me a lot more comfortable to sit with them and enjoy my cup of coffee. Another example is, I want to enjoy my free time by going to the library and reading some books. That is the main plan. At almost the same time, my younger sister insists to go with me. By having no upper plan of what books I am going to read, I can re-adjust my time and even allow her to go with me. I can also offer to buy some snacks on the way home. A pretty convenient plan.

These are the reasons why I choose to do "leisure planning". Being at ease is the main point of free or leisure time. Therefore, being alright with re-adjustment is the best thing to have to enjoy your free time to the fullest.
