When I was eight, my father bought me the new bike for my birthday. My brother offered to teach me how to ride. At first, they rode and let me watching. Then he explained me the skills of controlling the bike. Still puzzling, I got on the bike, but it doesn’t move as expected. I lost my balance and fall off the bike. At once I burst into tear because I saw blood on the ground. While I stood up, my left leg hurt bad. Later, I learned to ride a bike. But this experience told me that though some lessons were painful to learn them, yet we could benefit a lot.

Whether you’re flying to an island paradise or traveling for business, these packing tips will help you minimize time and maximize space.
Start with the right-sized suitcase
1.. But if you can’t travel light, it’s best to choose a bag that can easily accommodate everything you need. Trying to force a full suitcase to shut is a waste of time and energy, especially since you may return with even more stuff, if you like to buy souvenirs.
Lay everything out before starting
Lay everything you’re taking out on the bed, so you can see exactly what you need to pack and spot any missing items promptly. 2.. For folded items, putting layers of tissue between each item will cut down on wrinkles.
3.
Begin by putting rolled items in a layer at the bottom of your suitcase. Cushion fragile items like perfume bottles in the middle. Plan to put items you need on arrival at the top end of the case. 4.
Finish with a large top layer
Lastly, lay a large item like a towel over the tops and tuck it in around the sides. 5.. It’s much easier to close the zipper if you don’t have items like belts or laces.
A. Pack your suitcase in layers
B. Then fold or roll each item of clothing
C. Take a moment to assess your needs for this trip
D. So they’ll be easy to find when you need them
E. For a short trip, a small carry-on bag is ideal
F. Get everything ready before you start the actual packing
G. This will stop items from sliding around during the journey
