We spend so much time waiting to be loved, hoping love will find us, and looking for that special love．Unfortunately, that’s not usually how life works. To be loved, you should love and respect yourself as much as you do others. In order to love someone, you should love yourself．
●Stop comparing yourself to others．We all have different gifts．When you compare yourself to others for what they have, whether it is a car, a house, or a job, it makes you feel bad about yourself. Really be grateful about everything you have. Gratitude keeps your heart open to love．
●Practice receiving love. To truly love is to be able to receive it. When someone loves you, does some kind deeds to you, or says kind words, accept it．Know that you are worthy of love. It is important to accept a gift of love by others. You give yourself a chance to learn more about yourself that you are lovable．
●Write about your experiences, good and bad. When you write down good experiences, allow yourself to feel those feelings. When you remember bad experiences, allow yourself to feel self-compassion. Compassion is not self-pity, but rather willingness to accept one's own pain and regret．
●Stop trying to be perfect. Stop blaming yourself for being less than perfect．Just follow all the steps above and don't let anyone's expectations of you put any pressure on you．
| A．Keep a diary． |
| B．Appreciate yourself． |
| C．Do not feel sorry about it． |
| D．Always do your best, but not reaching perfection is NOT failure． |
E. Allow yourself to feel the love that has come your way．

D．How to make a fire in the wild？
E．How to set a trap to hunt animals？
F．How to build a shelter in the wild？___________
Answer: If you are in a desert environment, try to build an underground shade shelter to avoid prolonged sun exposure, obviously only for hot climates．So you can be more comfortable in cooler temperatures to avoid sweating．If your environment is damp, use branches laid and criss-crossed on top of one another to create a solid and dry foundation for an open bed pad．Raise the foundation above ground level as much as possible．_________
Answer: Yes, I think so．For example, if you think the best survival course of action is to look for help and civilization, don’t wait 4 or 5 days before you come to this conclusion．Take action on the 1st or 2nd day if possible while you still have strength and endurance working for you．_________
Answer: Use dry wood and sticks to start your fire．Fire is started by using three kinds of wood: tinder, kindling, and fuel．Tinder is any kind of flammable wood shavings, usually light and wispy．You can take two pieces of dry wood, sharpen one of them and use it to drill into the other piece．Place any highly flammable objects you can find next to the drill bit．The moment the flammable object catches a spark, use a rock to swiftly tip the object onto a nest of leaves and little branches．__________
Answer: Get an ordinary block of wood and hit it with a rock repeatedly until the wood sharpens．In this case, use the rock as your sharpener．You could also take a rock and break off some of the edges and then use another rock and some water like a wet stone and sharpen．In an ideal situation, obsidian stone would be used for its infamous sharpness．___________
Answer: Use two more sticks to hold up a “teepee”, similar to your shelter．Place an item of your choice you think an animal will come after, if you’re lucky, the animal will be trapped．Dig a hole in the ground about 2m-3m deep and 1m-2m across．Take two thin branches and place them criss-crossed across the hole．Cover it with leaves and put something the animals like to eat．You can also put a few wooden spikes sharpened by your knife at the bottom．Don’t forget to build a ladder or you might not be able to climb out of the hole．
