As the pace of life continues to increase, we are fast losing the art of relaxation. Once you are in the habit of rushing through life, being on the go from morning till night, it is hard to slow down. But relaxation is essential for a healthy mind and body.

Stress is a natural part of everyday life and there is no way to avoid it. In fact, it is not the bad thing it is often supposed to be. A certain amount of stress is vital to provide motivation and give purpose to life. It is only when the stress gets out of control that it can lead to poor performance and ill health.

The amount of stress a person can bear depends very much on the individual. Some people are not afraid of stress, and such characters are obviously prime material for managerial (经理的)responsibilities, others lose heart at the first sign of unusual difficulties. When exposed to stress, in whatever form, we react both chemically and physically. In fact we make choice between “flight or fight” and in more primitive days the choices made the difference between life or death. The crises we meet today are unlikely to be so extreme, but however little the stress, it involves the same response. It is when such a reaction lasts long, through continued exposure to stress, that health becomes endangered. Since we can’t remove stress from our lives (it would be unwise to do so even if we could), we need to find ways to deal with it.

   Educating girls quite possibly harvests a higher rate of return than any other investment(投资) available in the developing world. Women’s education may be an unusual fields for economists(经济学家), but increasing women’s contribution to development is actually as much an economic as a social issue. And economics, with its focus on encouragement, provides an explanation for why so many girls are not educated.

   Parents in low-income families fail to invest in their daughters because they do not expect them to make an economic contribution to the family: girls grow up only to marry into somebody else’s family and bear children. Girls are thus seen as less valuable than boys and are kept at home to do housework while their brothers are sent to school---the prophecy (预言) becomes self-fulfilling, trapping women in a vicious circle(恶性循环) of neglect.

   An educated mother, on the other hand, has greater earning abilities outside the home and faces an completely different set of choices. She is likely to have fewer but healthier children and can insist on the development of all the children, ensuring that her daughters are given a fair chance. The education of her daughters then makes it much more likely that the next generation of girls, as well as boys, will be educated and healthy. The vicious circle is thus transformed into a virtuous circle.

   Few will argue that educating women has great social benefits. Bit it has enormous economic advantages as well. Most obviously , there is the direct effect of education on the pay of female workers. Pay rise by 10 to 20 percent for each additional year of schooling. Such big returns are impressive by the standard of other available investments, but they are just the beginning. Educating women also has a significant impact on health practices, including family planning.
