You should say: - When was that time - Why was you busy - How did you handle it Nowadays, with the incredibly fast – paced living, it’s not unusual to see how busy people are in their lives. Honestly speaking, I have found myself like thousands of time up to my neck in work, however the time that is most memorable for me is the one of chasing the deadline to submit my final thesis paper for graduation. The allowed time for me to fulfil this task is 2 months, nevertheless I spent almost three weeks struggling to figure out the topic. In addition, I was under pressure by the job pressure at the company where I was performing as an intern. Between working at the corporates, attending classes and completing the assigned thesis, I was in fact a busy little beaver for almost 2 months. I barely had time remaining for my personal stuff and I was really stressed out that I was falling behind my schedule for my thesis paper submission. It was in deed a complicated one that required me to do tons of research, both from libraries and the Internet. In addition, I had to visit some local companies to collect data for my thesis. Those days were so tough and I had been so busy that sometimes I slept for 3 hours only at night. However, at the end of the day, I completed the thesis with flying colors and had it submitted in due time. Although it was extremely challenging for me at that time, I felt that all of my dedication and effort were truly rewarding. It also gave me some precious experience in time management and dealing with stress in life.

Do you like the fast pace of modern life? Not really. Living life in the fast lane surely can be both mentally and physically draining. I can see people nowadays often struggle to juggle work commitments with the demands of the family and keeping up with friends. Besides, a hectic lifestyle can very easily take a toll on our overall well-being if we fail to take better care of ourselves. 18.2. How do you feel when you are really busy? Sometimes, it does wear me out to be so busy with work and study but I don’t necessarily dislike it. When I’m busy, I actually feel a sense of satisfaction, knowing that I’m doing something productive. I used to be unemployed for a short period of time and it was seriously so frustrating to stay at home all the time, doing nothing while earning no money. I think that’s the reason why I now prefer being busy and I often try to occupy my time with as much work and activities as possible, provided that I’m given a holiday break or time off to look forward to. 18.3. What's the best way to deal with stress? As I am the type of people that cannot get anything done if I’m under too much stress, if I’m too busy to the point of getting stressed out, I would always try to squeeze in some quality relaxing time to do things that I love, like watching my favorite TV shows, going shopping or hanging out with friends. I found out that the best way for me to fight away stress often is to slow down, enjoy life more and fill my mind with only positive thoughts. Only then can I find peace within myself and gather more strength to fulfill my responsibilities at work and towards my family. 18.4. What kind of lifestyle is suitable to people in modern society? I believe people of modern times should definitely strive for a more balanced lifestyle by making more mindful and healthier choices for the sake of their physical well-being. People can start taking charge of their life by being more active, enjoying hobbies and sharing time with friends and family. This, in my opinion, is the most important investment anyone can make in his or her life. 18.5. What relaxation techniques do you usually use? As I mentioned earlier, some of the relaxation techniques for stress relief that work for me include getting a good belly laugh with some variety shows that I like or simply by surrounding myself with funny and cheerful friends; listening to slow and soothing music to calm my mind; savoring only the good experiences and trying to focus on the present and things that really matter in life, which are good health and having my loving family and friends by my side.
