504 Essential Words Sharp words make more wounds than surgeons can heal.” in some sentences comment on the quote

We all know that there is a phisical pain and a mental one. While you can heal a physical wound, it’s really hard to heal a mental wound. Many people don’t think before saying something, sometimes they think that they are just honest with the person, but there is a border between honesty and insult. So the bad words someday can really hurt somebody, especially if the person is insecure. They can’t forget it for a long time, constantly repeating it in their mind. People should learn to be more tactful.

Fraser Doherty: the 14-year-old ‘businessteen’

Unlike many young entrepreneurs who find success through popular websites, Fraser Doherty took a more traditional route to build his empire. His journey began at the age of 14 when he started making jams using his grandmother’s recipes in his parents’ kitchen in Scotland. By the time he was 16, he made the bold decision to leave school and dedicate himself fully to his jam business, SuperJam.

SuperJam has seen remarkable success, selling approximately 500,000 jars annually and capturing around 10 percent of the UK jam market. Doherty’s entrepreneurial venture has proved to be lucrative, with his stake in the business now valued at $1 to 2 million.

Fraser Doherty’s story is a testament to the power of traditional craftsmanship and determination in the business world. Despite the unconventional path he took, his commitment to quality and innovation has propelled him to great heights in the jam industry.

City developers are building Songdo on land which was underwater until some years ago. There are plenty of green spaces in the city, and there is a large park in the centre with skyscrapers all around it. Property developers have built 80,000 new homes as well as schools and a university. The city aims to watch pollution levels carefully by using technology to measure energy use and car use. Designers are also planning a system which will soon use the population’s waste and rubbish to generate renewable energy. Families like living here because there is so much space. Planners also hope that they will soon see more businesses in Songdo when transport links with Seoul are even faster.
Songdo is a city of the future, and it could become a model for many other cities around the world.
