Last April ver 21,000 fans were at Wembley Arena in Lndn, shuting and cheering. Thusands mre were watching nline. But this wasn’t a ftball, basketball r tennis match. It was esprts, r cmpetitive cmputer gaming. The prize mney fr the winners: 3 millin.
Millins f peple in the UK play esprts fr fun. Sme f them have made it their full-time jb. It’s nt easy being a prfessinal gamer, thugh.

And esprt is already an fficial medal sprts in the Asian Games since 2022.

When Jennifer first heard that her friend Gerge passed an exam, her heart sank. She’d failed the same test weeks earlier. But then, instead f feeling upset and envius, she cngratulated him. Jennifer was surprised when she culd share her friend’s happiness, she experienced her wn, in turn.
Finding pleasure in anther persn’s gd frtune is what scial scientists call freudenfreude, a term which describes the happiness we feel when smene else succeeds, even if it desn’t directly invlve us.
Freudenfreude is like scial glue, making relatinships clser and mre enjyable. A study in 2021 fund that in daily life freudenfreude bsted kind acts, such as helping thers. Sharing in smene else’s jy can als imprve life satisfactin and help peple cperate during a cnflict.
While the benefits f freudenfreude are plentiful, it desn’t always cme easily. In sme cases, it might really hurt yu when yu see anther persn’s winning as yur lss, making freudenfreude feel ut f reach. If yu were raised in a family that paired winning with self-wrth, yu might misread smene else’s victry as yur wn weak pint.

When yu’re feeling dwn, it’s natural t view psitive news with negativity.
Hwever, n ne gets t the tp alne, and when we raise thers up, we’re ften carried up with them. When we feel happy fr thers, their jy becmes ur jy. Celebrating ur friends’ successes — big and small — helps us all win.

Every mrning befre ging t schl, Galen wuld stand in frnt f their bkshelf in the living rm, fcusing his sights n ne bk titled “The Greatest Explrer That Never Was”. It was kept n the tp shelf. His mm wuld always read it t him when he was feeling sad. And lately, he’d always been feeling sad. His mm died.
He wuld try t think f a way t get the bk. He’d thught abut asking his dad fr help but his dad had been spending mre time in his ffice. Galen was n his wn fr this ne and he saw it as a challenge he needed t vercme. This was his test.
At schl, he wuld draw up plans n hw he wuld d it. First, he planned n using the ladder they kept in the shed (小屋). S when he gt hme, he threw his bag n the cuch and carried ut the plan. But when he had his hands n and tried t carry it, immediately he realized that the plan was a failure-the ladder was t heavy fr him t carry t the living rm. He left the shed, defeated. He tk ut the ntebk that he’d written his plans n. He crssed ut using a ladder. He went t bed that night determined t cme up with a new plan that wuld wrk.
His next plan was t use his mm’s ld trampline (蹦床). Using it wuld allw him t jump high enugh, reach the tp f the shelf, grab the bk, and land n the grund. He did this abut fur r five times befre deciding that this plan, like the ne befre, wuldn’t wrk.
Galen started cming with ther plans as the days went n. After the unsuccessful mp and brm plan, he stayed up late that night hatching a new plan, which had a higher success rate than the thers. It was t climb t the tp f the shelf until he culd just take the bk. He’d just have t hld n t the sides a little tighter s that he wuldn’t fall ff.

Cle is an app that knws the needs f the yunger generatin. It’s a treasure f budgeting (预算) tips and tricks, ranging frm payment reminders t budget planners and advice n where t save mney. And it’s pwered by AI systems that learn yur spending habits and adapt t them. Sunds great, right?
…Creating great presentatins
If building the perfect presentatin isn’t in yur wheelhuse, Slidesg is aimed at yu. Simply specify yur tpic, preferred style and tne, and set it ging. Yu can then jump in and make any desired changes. Like many AI tls, it can be rather hit and miss, s be prepared t rewrk yur ntes n ccasins when it has cmpletely misunderstd the level f “playful” yu’re after.
…Perfecting writing
We all make mistakes in ur dcuments, emails, newsletters and any ther pieces f writing. Like a teacher wh wn’t leave yur side, Grammarly nt nly identifies grammatical errrs, but als suggests ways t plish up. This AI-pwered tl might ccasinally misunderstand yur tne, but fr the mst part it’ll just save yu frm the truble f checking yur essay wrd by wrd.
…Supercharging yur research
When tackling really big prjects, research can get messy. It’s easy t end up with a mess f brwser tabs, vast lists f research papers and a highlighting system that yu’re sure made sense when yu started, but nw…Genei aims t tidy up such elements f the research prcess, summarizing backgrund reading, and prviding verviews and selecting highlights frm lng papers. These dcuments can then be stred in prjects and flders that yu can search fr particular qutes and phrases.
