His $109K Heart Attack Bill Is Now Down To $332 After NPR Told His Story
英國作家馬特·海格(Matt Haig)《活下去的理由》來自於作者二十四歲時,不幸被命運選中,成為憂鬱症患者。他曾站在懸崖邊企圖自殺,離死亡只有一步之遙。英國《衛報》認為,這本書不是那種普遍意義上的自救書,它反映了個體生命對危機的應對方式,具有強烈的個人色彩和創造性。 以下是他給生活的40 條建議 1.快樂出現的時候,享受快樂。 2.小口慢飲,別狼吞虎嚥。 3.對自己溫柔些。少工作,多休息。 4.過去的一切你都無法改變。這是基本的物理原理。 5.小心星期二和十月。 6.寇特·馮內果是正確的:閱讀和寫作是迄今為止人類發現的最有營養的冥想形式。 7.多傾聽,少說話。 8.無所事事的時候不要有罪惡感。也許工作比無所事事對世界的危害更大。但可以完善你的無所事事,讓它是覺知的。 9.覺察到你正在呼吸。 10.不論在任何地點,任何時刻,都要試著去發現美。一張面孔、一句詩詞、窗外的雲、塗鴉畫。美可以淨化思想。 11.恨是一種毫無意義的情緒。就像為了懲罰一隻蜇你的蝎子而吃掉它一樣。 12.出去跑步,再做點瑜伽。 13.中午之前沖個澡。 14.遙望天空。提醒自己宇宙是多麼浩瀚。抓住每一個感受遼闊悠遠的機會,這會讓你看見自己的渺小。 15.善良。 16.要認識到想法只是想法。如果感覺想法不合理,就跟它理論,即使你已找不出道理。你是你頭腦的觀察者,而非受害者。 17.不要漫無目的地看電視。不要漫無目的地上社交網站。要清醒地意識到你正在做什麼,為什麼而做。別不重視電視,你要更重視它,這樣你才會少看。無節制的娛樂將使你注意力分散。 18.坐下,躺下,不動,什麼都不做。觀察,傾聽你頭腦的聲音。不去評判頭腦裡發生的事情,隨它吧,就像《冰雪奇緣》裡的白雪女王一樣。 19.不要杞人憂天。 20.看樹,靠近樹,種樹。(因為樹很棒。) 21.聽YouTube上面那個瑜伽教練的話,「走路,好像你在用腳親吻地球一樣。」 22.生活,愛,放手。 23.酒的數學是乘方運算。你喝得越多,就越想多喝。如果你很難止於一杯,那麼更不可能止於三杯。加法就是乘法。 24.當心那個縫隙。你現在身處的地方和你想去的地方之間的縫隙。只是想一下它,那個縫隙就會擴大,你就有可能掉到裡面去。 25.閱讀一本書,別去想著要讀完它。只是讀。享受每個字、句子、段落。別期待它結束,或永不結束。 26.在最深層次,宇宙中沒有哪種藥比善待他人令你感覺更好。 27.聽聽哈姆雷特——文學作品中最著名的憂鬱症患者,對羅森克蘭茨和吉爾登斯特恩說的話:世上之事物本無善惡之分,思想使然。 28.允許他人愛你。相信這份愛。為他們活下去,即使你覺得毫無意義。 29.你不需要這個世界理解你。沒關係的。有的人永遠不會真的理解他們沒經歷過的事情,但有些人會理解,要對理解你的人心懷感激。 30.朱爾·凡爾納勒寫過⟪無限的生命⟫。它是像海一樣浩瀚的愛與情感世界。如果我們沉浸其中,將找到無限,找到活下來所需的空間。 31.凌晨三點不是試圖理清人生的時間。 32.記住:你一點也不怪異。你是人,你的一切行為、感覺都是符合自然的,因為你是自然界的動物。你就是大自然。你是類人猿。你生活在這個世界,這個世界活在你心中。一切都是聯結在一起的。 33.不要相信什麼好壞,輸贏,勝負,高潮低谷。在你的最低處和最高處,無論你是快樂還是絕望,平靜還是憤怒,都有一個最核心的「你」是始終不變的。這個「你」才是最重要的。 34.別擔心因絕望而失去的時間。熬過絕望之後,時間的價值將會翻倍。 35.對自己透明。給你的頭腦建一座玻璃房。觀察。 36.讀艾米莉·狄金森,讀格雷厄姆·格林,讀卡爾維諾,讀瑪雅·安傑盧。讀一切你想讀的,讀就好了。書是可能性,是逃跑路線。當你沒有選擇時,它們給你機會。對於流離失所的頭腦來說,每一本書都是一座家園。 37.陽光燦爛的日子,能在戶外就在戶外。 38.記住:地球生活的關鍵是改變。汽車會生鏽,書頁會發黃,技術會過時,毛毛蟲會變蝴蝶,黑夜會變白晝,憂鬱也會消散。 39.當你感覺忙得沒時間休息,就是你最需要找時間休息的時候。 40.勇敢,堅強,呼吸,活下去。你會感謝今天的自己。

Digital Text is Changing How Kids Read—Just Not in the Way That You Think “The change we are seeing is not that kids can’t pay attention to things, it’s that they’re not as interested in paying attention to things,” he said. “They have less patience for being bored. What I think that all the digital activities have in common is that, with very little effort from me, something interesting happens. And if I’m bored, another interesting experience is very easy to obtain.” Instead, reading's payoff often comes after some effort and maybe even a little boredom in the beginning. But the slower-paced pleasure comes with more satisfaction in the end." - Holly Korbey

“You are loved just for being who you are, just for existing. You don’t have to do anything to earn it.

No one can take this love away from you, and it will always be here.” - Ram Dass

45 Life Lessons, Written By 90 Year Old

1. Life isn’t fair, but it’s still good.

2. When in doubt, just take the next small step.

3. Life is too short not to enjoy it.

4. Your job won’t take care of you when you are sick. Your friends and family will.

5. Don’t buy stuff you don’t need.

6. You don’t have to win every argument. Stay true to yourself.

7. Cry with someone. It’s more healing than crying alone.

8. It’s OK to get angry with God. He can take it.

9. Save for things that matter.

10. When it comes to chocolate, resistance is futile.

11. Make peace with your past so it won’t screw up the present.

12. It’s OK to let your children see you cry.

13. Don’t compare your life to others. You have no idea what their journey is all about.

14. If a relationship has to be a secret, you shouldn’t be in it.

15. Everything can change in the blink of an eye… But don’t worry; God never blinks.

16. Take a deep breath. It calms the mind.

17. Get rid of anything that isn’t useful. Clutter weighs you down in many ways.

18. Whatever doesn’t kill you really does make you stronger.

19. It’s never too late to be happy. But it’s all up to you and no one else.

20. When it comes to going after what you love in life, don’t take no for an answer.

21. Burn the candles, use the nice sheets, wear the fancy lingerie. Don’t save it for a special occasion. Today is special.

22. Overprepare, then go with the flow.

23. Be eccentric now. Don’t wait for old age to wear purple.

24. The most important sex organ is the brain.

25. No one is in charge of your happiness but you.

26. Frame every so-called disaster with these words, ‘In five years, will this matter?’

27. Always choose Life.

28. Forgive but don’t forget.

29. What other people think of you is none of your business.

30. Time heals almost everything. Give Time time.

31. However good or bad a situation is, it will change.

32. Don’t take yourself so seriously. No one else does.

33. Believe in miracles.

34. God loves you because of who God is, not because of anything you did or didn’t do.

35. Don’t audit life. Show up and make the most of it now.

36. Growing old beats the alternative — dying young.

37. Your children get only one childhood.

38. All that truly matters in the end is that you loved.

39. Get outside every day. Miracles are waiting everywhere.

40. If we all threw our problems in a pile and saw everyone else’s, we’d grab ours back.

41. Envy is a waste of time. Accept what you already have, not what you think you need.

42. The best is yet to come…

43. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up.

44. Yield.

45. Life isn’t tied with a bow, but it’s still a gift.

"Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal." 2 Cor. 4:16-18

Remembering John McCain's Unapologetic Message To America
We weaken our greatness when we confuse our patriotism with tribal rivalries that have sown resentment, and hatred and violence in all the corners of the globe. We weaken it when we hide behind walls, rather than tear them down; when we doubt the power of our ideals, rather than trust them to be the great force for change they have always been. - John McCain
Read John McCain’s final letter to America
"I hope those who mourn my passing, and even those who don't, will celebrate as I celebrate a happy life lived in imperfect service to a country made of ideals, whose continued success is the hope of the world. And I wish all of you great adventures, good company, and lives as lucky as mine." ~Senator John McCain

Lost And Found: How Parents Can Stop Their Kids From Going Missing.. scary...I will be extra extra careful..
Want happier, calmer kids? Simplify their world. "Many of today’s behavioral issues come from children having too much stuff and living a life that is too fast." “In the tapestry of childhood, what stands out is not the splashy trips to Disneyland but the common threads that run throughout and repeat: the family dinners, nature walks, reading together at bedtime, Saturday morning pancakes.”

'Concussion' doctor says kids shouldn't play these sports until they're 18
We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time.
Through the unknown, unremembered gate
When the last of earth left to discover
Is that which was the beginning;
Not known, because not looked for
But heard, half-heard, in the stillness
Between two waves of the sea.
Quick now, here, now, always--
A condition of complete simplicity
(Costing not less than everything)
And all shall be well and
All manner of thing shall be well
- T.S. Eliot, “Little Gidding"

Return to your best self

הֲשִׁיבֵנוּ ה' אֵלֶיךָ וְנָשׁוּבָה, חַדֵּשׁ יָמֵינוּ כְּקֶדֶם. Bring us back to You, HaShem, and we shall return; renew our days as at the beginning.

(Eikha 5.21)

Hashiveynu - The desire to return is not to go backward, but to seek to close the circle and thus find wholeness again on the other side. As the poet puts it, “the last of earth left to discover is that which was the beginning”:

ICE DETAINEES JOIN NATIONWIDE PRISON STRIKE, MANY REFUSING TO EAT: ORGANIZERS “I am convinced that imprisonment is a way of pretending to solve the problem of crime. It does nothing for the victims of crime, but perpetuates the idea of retribution, thus maintaining the endless cycle of violence in our culture. It is a cruel and useless substitute for the elimination of those conditions--poverty, unemployment, homelessness, desperation, racism, greed--which are at the root of most punished crime. The crimes of the rich and powerful go mostly unpunished. "It must surely be a tribute to the resilience of the human spirit that even a small number of those men and women in the hell of the prison system survive it and hold on to their humanity.” -Howard Zinn
