What is a sad truth about life?

By
Imagine yourself in this scenario:
She is your wife.
This is your car.
This is your house.
This is your phone.
You're a multi-billionaire.
You graduated from Harvard.
You have a Ph.D.
People love you. People hang out with you. People notice you. People take care of you. People treat you with superiority. People invite you to the best parties.
Now, take away the wedding; you are single.
Substitute the Bugatti with a rusty, broken car, with over 200K miles.
Your home is the street.
You have a flip phone.
You are barely making ends meet. Many days you go without food.
You cannot afford to go to college.
You have no degree.
Your lifestyle is now like this.
What do you have? What does society see in you?
Nothing.
Suddenly, you go from 500 friends to 0.
The people you thought cared about you are nowhere to be found.
You are alone.
You are struggling.
And no one cares.
The saddest truth about life is that people only like you for what you have, not for who you are.
XxX

Saiba o que significa um prego 17 x 27.

By
Muito interessante pessoal, jamais imaginei como se media isso! abraços, Ivan Saiba o que significa um prego 17 x 27. A nomenclatura dos pregos é algo bastante desconhecido da maioria das pessoas. Isso ocorre porque há muitos padrões no mercado. Existe uma equivalência aproximada entre elas, mas as usuais estão em Polegadas Inglesas x BWG, JP x LPP e ainda o padrão métrico oficial, mm x mm. Entenda o que significam estas siglas: Polegadas Inglesas: multiplique o número correspondente por 25,4 para ter o comprimento em mm. BWG (Birmingham Wire Gauge) e JP (Jauge de Paris): são tabelas próprias que indicam o diâmetro do prego. LPP (Linhas Por Polegadas Portuguesas): multiplique o número correspondente por 2,3 para ter o comprimento em mm. No Brasil usamos mais o seguinte formato: JP x LPP Onde: JP é o diâmetro, em JDP (Jauge de Paris) LPP é o comprimento, em Linhas de Polegada Portuguesa. 1 JDP = ver tabela abaixo 1 Linha de Polegada Portuguesa: 2,30 mm Conversao de Medi...

Orison Swett Marden: An Original Thinker

Orison Swett Marden: An Original Thinker By  Jeffrey Gitomer  |  July 8, 2011  |  0  It’s very hard to find original thought. Orison Swett Marden  was part of “The New Thought Movement,” a spiritual group that emphasized metaphysical beliefs and personal development. While there were religious overtones, the philosophies were fundamentally based on infinite insight and intelligence. Here’s a classic Marden quote: Don’t wait for extraordinary opportunities. Seize common occasions and make them great.   Weak men wait for opportunities; strong men make them. Marden was influenced and inspired—as were many—by one of the original personal-development writers,  Samuel Smiles . Smiles was an original. The Smiles book,  Self-Help , was the trigger for Marden’s career. “The little book was the friction which awakened the spark sleeping in the flint,” Marden is quoted as saying. The 21st century translation might be, “S...

Super Car of the Famous People

Jay-Z's Mercedes Maybach Exelero Price:  $8 million Featured in his music video "Lost One," this car is  truly one-of-a-kind . Made by Italian car company Stola, it was manufactured only once. It is said to be able to reach 218 mph and can go from 0-62 mph in 4.4 seconds. The Exelero, it would seem, is not one of Jay-Z's 99 problems.   Jay Leno's McLaren F1 Price:  $22 million Of all Leno's vehicles, the  McLaren F1  is certainly one of the most impressive, if only for its price. There were only 106 made. Created by Formula One race-car designer Gordon Murray, the F1 is made of lightweight premium materials such as kevlar, carbon fiber, and titanium and is supposed to be one of the best supercars ever made. Tom Brady's Bugatti Veyron Price:  $3 million Tom Brady has seven Super Bowl wins and a  garage full of impressive cars  that he might have a little more time to drive now that he's retiring from the NFL. Perhaps the most impressive i...

Lenormand Cards Reading - An Ancient Cartomancy almost forgot

  An Introduction to Lenormand Cards: Plus Lenormand Card Meaning List AUG 10, 2017 While the main focus of Labyrinthos Academy has always been the Tarot, lately I’ve been experimenting with other practices that have the potential to work alongside those beloved decks of that I hold so dear. One of the more interesting and dynamic combinations I’ve found during these little experiments has been Lenormand Cards. Lately, I’ve been so inspired, that I’ve been working on a  Lenormand deck, which you can start taking a peek at here! What are Lenormand Cards? Tarot and other forms of cartomancy have been around for as long as playing cards themselves have existed - and the history of the whole practice spans well over six centuries. For many decades now, Tarot has been the main focus of those interested in spirituality and self-development. While they were once used for divination, we actually argue here that their most potent use is not in telling the future,  but as a tool fo...

25 Alan Watts Quotes to Teach You the Transformative Power of InsighsPi

25 Alan Watts Quotes to Teach You the Transformative Power of Insighs Pin A prolific author and speaker, Alan Wilson Watts is credited with the interpretation and introduction of Eastern philosophy to the Western audience. As his mother’s students were children of missionaries to Asia, Watts began to be fascinated by Asian art, literature, and philosophy; so in time, he learned Chinese and started to explore the fundamental beliefs and practices of religions and philosophies of India and East Asia. After a rigorous research in Zen Buddhism, Watts published one of the first books on the topic –  The Way of Zen  – introducing the burgeoning youth culture to it. Due to all the wisdom it embodies, Watts even suggested that Buddhism could be presented and taught as a form of psychotherapy, and not only as a religion. Alan Watts is the author of more than 25 books on various topics such as philosophy, Eastern and Western religion, natural history, semanti...

When you fit in... you disappear!

By
Image
Today I came across an "abandoned" shirt in my wardrobe! I've used to wear it for the bed night time a couple of times but completely forgot about it: For my surprise, for the first time, I've noticed the quote on the shirt: A Tetris Painting and the Quote: "When You Fit In... You Disappear". Despite a casual shirt and a casual quote, the profundity of this sentence is amazing. If you take the time to reflect on it, we really tend to disappear in the crowd once we so-called "fit in"!  Exactly like when the blocks "fit in" and match the Tetris line. This way it begs us to reconsider... Do we really want to fit in... just to disappear? Or we want to live and follow our unique lives and achieve whichever dreams, goals, and aspirations we look for? Not really worrying with HAVING TO FIT IN part... Despite not being that religious it reminded me of this bible quote:  Revelation 3:16  16 So   because   you are   lukewarm—   neither   hot   nor ...

Sisu: The Finnish art of inner strength that drives KALKUA

By
Image
By Olga Smirnova The concept of sisu has no direct translation, encompassing extreme perseverance and dignity in the face of adversity. But can it be learnt? “Sisu will get you even through granite,” my Finnish mother-in-law used to say. If you look at the enormous grey outcrops of granite scattered since the ice age through the Finnish countryside and forests, you’ll realise that getting through them is not just difficult, it is pretty well impossible. ‘Sisu’ in Finnish means strength, perseverance in a task that for some may seem crazy to undertake, almost hopeless. My mother-in-law experienced the bombings of the Winter War (1939-1940) when Finland was attacked by the much superior Soviet army but managed to mount a resistance to remain independent. The New York Times ran an article in 1940 with the headline “Sisu: A Word that Explains Finland”. The word originates from ‘sisus’, which literally means ‘guts’ or ‘the intestines’ in Finnish S...
