There are many destructive forces when it comes to nature, which have destroyed whole cities and killed many people. They’re really t errible, but they occur somewhat often, and this is why you see so many charities these days which focus their efforts on helping people who have been affected by natural disasters.
While the world is a very beautiful place to live in, there will always be parts of the world where natural disasters happen more often than in other places, where properties and lives are destroyed. Only the people who live in the country where tsunamis and earthquakes as well as other disasters occur experience these, and we can only imagine the suffering that they go through.
For some people out there, the world is cruel, but they have no choice but to stay where they are. A lot of the time people simply cannot afford to move away, as they might not be able to find a job when they leave.
In 2018, there was a tsunami in the Indian Ocean. A tsunami is a large wave that towers hundreds of feet into the air, and covers whole areas when it comes crashing down on to dry land. This particular tsunami was caused by an earthquake that happened in the middle of the sea, shooting the water away from the ground and towards dry land. This tsunami actually reached thirty meters in height, and was one of the worst tidal waves the world has ever seen. Over 200,000 people were hurt in the disaster.
In 2018, we also saw a hurricane happened in the United States. This hurricane was known as hurricane Katrina, and is perhaps the worst in the history of the world. It happened in 2018 and destroyed millions of properties in the area. It also cost nearly 2,000 American people their lives. It was known that for ten days, the wind swept through the area, meaning the most powerful country in the world became helpless in their attempts to save the people who were affected by the hurricane.
Finally, in 2018 we saw yet another natural disaster. This time it was a cyclone (旋风), which is similar to a hurricane but happens in a circular motion (圆周运动). This cyclone Nargis had been one of the strongest to have ever occurred, reaching a death toll of nearly 150,000 people.
All of these were typical examples of terrible disasters that couldn’t be avoided.

The hardest thing in the world is saying yes to the world. Do you say yes to the world? Most of us have a habit of going through our days saying no to the things we don't like and yes to the things we do, and yet, everything we face is our life. We won't say yes to the things we do not like, because we fear that we will not remove them forever.
But in fact, it is only through accepting the existence of what's not working for us that we can begin the process of change. When we say yes to the world, we enter into a state of trust that whatever our situation is, we can work with it. We express belief in ourselves, and the world, and we also express a willingness to learn from whatever happens to us, rather than running and hiding when we don't like what we see. Therefore, in one word, saying yes is definitely good for our life.
The question we might ask ourselves is what it will take for us to get to the point of saying yes. For some of us, it takes dealing with something we can't escape or refuse, and so we are left with no choice but to say yes. For others, it just seems a natural process of events that leads us to make the decision to say yes to life. Saying yes to life might be difficult at first, and even painful at times, but if we continue to say yes to every moment through the process, it will be far less difficult in the end. And we will find the joy of being in a positive talk to the world with a very powerful word—yes. We should accept everything life puts in front of us.
