The New Year of the Babylonians lasted eleven days. Every day is celebrated in a different way, and the contemporary New Year is inevitably dwarfed by comparison.
The Romans continued the custom of celebrating the New Year at the end of March. However, their calendars were influenced by successive emperors and soon became out of sync with the movement of the sun.
To correct the calendar, Roman senators declared the first day of the first month of the first month of the new year in 153 BC. But the involvement of the calendar has not been eliminated. Later, in 46 B.C., Caesar promulgated a set of calendars, which became known as the Julius calendar.
The first day of the first month of the first month is once again designated as the new year. But in order to synchronize this calendar with the movement of the sun, Caesar had to extend the previous year to 445 days.

The Babylonian New Year celebration lasts for 11 days. Each day has its own unique pattern of celebration, but it's safe to say that modern Chinese New Year's Eve celebrations pale in comparison.
The Romans continued to celebrate the New Year at the end of March, but their calendars were constantly altered by different emperors, so that soon the calendar was out of sync with the sun.
In order to set the correct calendar, the Roman Senate, in 153 BC, declared January 1 as the beginning of a new year. However, it continued until Caesar, in 46 BC, when the Roman Julian calendar became known. January 1 is the Julian calendar to celebrate the arrival of the New Year again.
But in order to synchronize the calendar with the sun, Caesar let the past year drag on, 445 days.

With the rapid development of society, more and more people have begun to pursue high-quality living conditions. Many people firmly believe that money is the foundation of a good life and happiness. In this materialistic age, can money really buy happiness? What is the most precious treasure in our lives?
In 2010, Bill Gates and Warren Buffett came to China and invited many Chinese billionaires to a charity dinner and called on them to donate generously to charity. But these young billionaires are reluctant to devote themselves to philanthropy. They would even rather spend their money on luxury goods than donate it to charity.
Perhaps they think that money is more valuable to them than well-intentioned help and happiness. Are the rich happy? Has our happiness grown in line with rising economic trends?
Shirley Sandberg's story also teaches us that money is not important for happiness.
Sandberg is a successful female billionaire. She tells us that women can have high aspirations, but they have to think about what they really want. This means that women should strive for their work, and at the same time, they should reconcile work and family.
If we blindly earn money, or if we become workaholics, then we will lose a lot of good things in life.
In my opinion, money is not a guarantee of happiness. Yes, money can bring us short-term happiness, but in the long run, wealth is like health: its absence may bring pain, but having it does not guarantee our happiness.
There are many things in our lives that are more important than money. For example, health, happiness, gratitude, and so on. Remember, no matter how wealthy you are, you won't take a penny with you when you die.
Why not go after something more valuable? Please cherish your family, your friends. Try to help others and face life head-on with a kind heart.
Only in this way can we live a more meaningful and rewarding life.

It was the final day of the final exams at a large eastern university. On the steps of a school building, a group of students talk about exams. It's only a few minutes away from the start. Their faces were full of confidence. This is their final graduation exam.
Some are already talking about the future of work. With four years of college education, they feel they can control the world.
The exam was coming, they knew, it would be an easy thing to do, the professor said, they could bring any books or notes they wanted, just asking them not to talk to each other during the test.
They entered the classroom. The professor sent out the exam papers. A smile appeared on the faces of the students, who found that there were only five questions.
Three hours passed, and the professor began to collect documents. Students are no longer confident. There were horrified expressions on their faces. In hand, no one speaks, as a professor facing the class.
The professor looked at the student in front of him worriedly and asked, "How many people have completed all five questions?" "No one raised their hand.
Three questions? Two questions? The student sat uneasily in his seat.
One, and then what? Someone must have done one. But the classroom remained silent.
The professor puts down the test paper. "It was exactly what I expected," he said. "I just want you to know that even though you've completed four years of study, there are still many things you don't know.
You can answer these questions without answering the more common daily practices. Then, smiling, he added, "You'll pass the course, but remember that you're a college student now and your education has just begun." ”
The professor's name has been forgotten for many years, but the lessons he taught are still impressive to us.

How often do you hear a child wish they were an adult, and an old man wished they were younger. Every age has its own joys and pains, and the happiest person is the one who likes to give him no time in useless regrets.
Childhood has few responsibilities to make life difficult. If a child has good parents, he is fed, cared for and loved, no matter what he does. It is impossible that he will again have so much in his life without having to do anything in return.
What's more, life always shows new things to children - things for older people lose interest because they are too famous. But a child of his parents. He is not very free to do what he wants, he is constantly told not to do things or to be punished for what he has done wrong.
When the young man began to earn his own life, he could no longer count on others to pay for his food, his clothes, his room, but had to work if he wanted to live comfortably. If he had spent most of his time playing, he had been a child and he would have starved. If he breaks the laws of society used to break the laws of his parents, he may go to prison.
However, if he works hard, constantly gets out of trouble, and has good health, he can have great happiness to establish himself in society.
Go upstairs and grab your t-shirt and get out of here with me!
