Variety is essential for offering diverse options, catering to different preferences and tastes.
Deep dives
Train of Thought: Understanding the Flow of Ideas
Your train of thought refers to the flow of your ideas or thoughts, how one leads to another. For example, if distracted by a loud noise, you might lose your train of thought. Interruptions can cause you to forget your point mid-conversation, disrupting your thought process.
Variety: Embracing Diversity and Options
Variety means a range of different options or the quality of being diverse. For instance, when choosing ice cream flavors, having a variety allows you to select what suits your preferences, like rum and raisin or chocolate, catering to different tastes.
Reign Supreme: Achieving the Highest Rank
To reign supreme denotes holding the highest position or rank with significant influence. For example, Serena Williams continues to reign supreme in tennis as the top player. Personal aspirations to excel, like becoming a pro squash player, illustrate the pursuit of reigning supreme in a specific field.
