I think working only 3 days a week is a great idea. People would have more time to rest, which can lead to better mental health. For me, weekends are never long enough, so having 4 days off would be amazing. Take Norway, for example — some companies there already do this and report high productivity. I’m totally sure that with better planning, people can finish their work in less time. Maybe it wouldn’t work for every job, but it could work for many.

For me, esports deserve a place in the Olympics. I think they require a lot of skill, strategy, and mental strength, just like chess. Another example is how millions of people watch esports tournaments, so they’re clearly popular. I’m totally sure the future of competition includes video games. Maybe older generations don’t understand them yet, but younger people do.

I think it’s okay to lie sometimes, especially if it helps someone or avoids hurting their feelings. For me, honesty is important, but kindness matters too. Take a surprise party, for example — you have to lie a little to keep it secret! I’m totally sure that small lies can be useful if they protect someone. Maybe lying all the time is bad, but not every lie is evil.
