If you are busy all the time, it's hard to sit quietly with your thoughts or to really feel what you're feeling. Whynot let everything become a choice -- how we spend time, who we reply to and how much or little we write?\nMany of us are busy becauseour self-worth goes up when people make demands on our time. Whydon't we free ourselves from needing, or even wanting? Why don't we make the best use of the time and space to be productive in a way that it best serves us? That may be consciously keeping ourselves not busy. In fact many great discoverieswere made by people who built white space into their day.\nImagine asking \"How are you?\" to one of the most successful people you know like Warren Buffet. I've never heard anyone at that level answer \"busy\" though most people believe they are.\nWhat are they doing differently?\nFirst, they aim to project an image that things are under control. Second, they actually have things under control. They've had excellent staff, implemented thoughtful processes and they spend time only on critical tasks that require their attention. They make high-level strategic decisions with a large effect.\nIt's time to end the glory of being busy and spend time setting up processes that make sense, rather than simply working more hours. To do this, you need to change yourway of thinking. It's cool to say you're busy, but it's better to be busy helping someone carry a stroller up the subway stairs or busy finishing a book.\nHow to free us from the trendof being busy? Start with small steps. For one day, be mindful of every daily activity. Consider each thing a choice and decide proactively if it's necessary or simply a habit you can get rid of or do in half the time. Next, stop saying how busy you are.

But in fact the umbrella was not invented as protection against the rain. Its first use was as a shade against the sun.\nNobody knows who first invented it, but the umbrella was used in very ancient times. Probably the first to use it were the Chinese, back in the eleventh century BC.\nWe know that the umbrella was used in ancient Egypt and Babylon as a sunshade. And there was a strange thing connected with its use : it became a symbol of honor and power . In the Far East in ancient times, the umbrella was allowed to be used only by those in high office or by royal people such as the kings or queens.\nIn Europe, the Greeks were the first to use the umbrella as a sunshade. The umbrella was in common use in ancient Greece, but it is believed that the first people in Europe to use the umbrella as protection against the rain were the ancient Romans. During the middle ages in Europe, the use of the umbrella almost disappeared. Then it appeared again in Italy in the late sixteenth century.

They looked out into the Arabian Sea and saw a mountain-like shape coming out of the water. \"I could see this gray, dome-shaped body in the distance, like a giant whale,\" Bahram Baloch, a local journalist, told the BBC. \"Hundreds of people had gathered to watch it in disbelief .\"\nSo what happened? The earthquake measured 7.7 in magnitude . The force was so strong that it moved the sea floor, releasing gas. This gas pushed the seabed, mostly rock and sand, upward and out of the water. This is how mud volcanoes are formed. The island that measures about 20 meters high, 30 meters long and 90 meters wide is actually the tip of the mud volcano.\nIs it safe? Although people have visited this new island, scientists have found dangerous gas coming from the newly formed island. \"Our team found bubbles rising from the surface of the island, which caught fire when a match was lit,\" said Mohammad Danish, a scientist, to Universe Today.\nThese mud volcanoes are not rare. But it's striking because this one has popped up in a populated area, and not far out in the sea. However, it's not expected to last very long. Most of these mud volcanoes are swept back under the sea within one year.\n\n<question>:\nAfter the earthquake, what did people see in the sea?\n\n<options>:\nA a strange light\nB a blue whale\nC a mysterious island\nD a mountain\n\n<answer>:\n", "assistant": "C" } ]
