Can you easily say, “no” to your colleagues or relatives who ask you for favors? For many people, it’s a really big challenge. We are often scared of saying, “no” even though it may make things easier for us. By giving into a request, we are just trying to avoid conflict.

Bright Side invites you to learn about some interesting discoveries about our …

You don’t need to go to other planets to be amazed by the variety of lifeforms.

These imperfect photos that are scratched, out of focus, and overexposed have a magnetic charm about them. They’re so interesting, we want to look at them over and over again. The faces in them are beautiful and are from another time, telling a story in every picture. These stories are naive, sad, and even funny. Internet users have shared some of these photos and we want …

There are very different situations at work and while some can be pleasant and even rewarding, others can be almost unbearable.
