Reading

Encouragement sometimes plays an important part in our life. Indeed, we are not always happy with our living, as well as we are always pleased with everything happening every day. Therefore, sometimes, in just a moment, we need the encouragement from our friends, relatives and parents so that we can have the motivation to keep on what we set out. 

For example, when you are disappointed with your dream work, you feel very stressful and you just want to give up. At that time, if you can share it with your close friends, they may give you some useful advice or altogether sympathize with you to say the least.
