But choose them from ten different fields. 2) Help a person. Look for a classmate, an elderly person, in fact anyone who could benefit from your help. You'll find you benefit too! 3) Research. Research a particular area, such as science, history or art. 4) Make a foreign friend. Try to be friend someone from a foreign country.
