When you fit in... you disappear!

By

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:
When young we've used to joke: Be Hot or be Cold just don't be lukewarm if not I spit you out.

I discover now that it came from Bible's Revelations.

Nevertheless, it matches the message.

Be Hot or Be could never minding to fit in...

... and you will avoid disappearing...

...and most importantly: being spit out!!!

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...

The Most Important Life Lesson From Andy Dufresne and The Shawshank Redemption Gen Cruz Stephen King is one of the most prolific novelists of our time. One among his finest works is a novella titled Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption. The movie based on this story titled The Shawshank Redemption ended up as King’s most critically acclaimed film adaptation. It is hailed as the greatest film to never win an Oscar best picture award, and regarded as one of the greatest films in history. The novella is about a dispassionate big-shot banker serving life imprisonment in Shawshank Penitentiary, and his seemingly miraculous escape. The Story Andy Dufresne was judged guilty for the murder of his wife and her lover, a crime that at first seemed to the reader a cut and dry case. However, Andy was explicitly revealed to be innocent later on. Despite of this, Andy retained his stoic demeanor. He was angry for his predicament sure, but his feelings dictated neither his actions nor his attitu...

The best music to listen to for optimal productivity, according to science Rachel Gillett   Flickr/William Brawley Music doesn't have to add to your list of distractions. Oftentimes we have innumerable distractions at work competing for our attention. Luckily, music can help put us back on a more productive track.

But when it comes to tasks that require more brainpower, finding that perfect playlist is not so easy. Luckily, we have science at our disposal to help. Based on some of what we know about how music affects productivity, you should try funneling this kind of music through your headphones the next time you're feeling unproductive: Songs that include sounds of nature....

O Oráculo do Tao – Capítulo: A Força do Grande e o Limite Invisível

By
“O que parece um muro pode ser um espelho. O que te trava, te mostra.” Era para ser simples. Apenas redirecionar correspondências para a casa do meu irmão de alma, Renato. Meu melhor amigo. Confiança total. Tudo acordado, fluindo. Mas, de repente, como se uma linha invisível tivesse sido cruzada, o ambiente se incendiou: Maria, sua companheira, entrou em conflito com ele, em um nível quase mítico — um embate que pareceu acionar forças muito maiores do que um simples envelope. E nesse vórtice emocional, surge o I Ching, o Livro das Mutações. Um espelho da realidade sutil. Fiz a consulta em busca de clareza. Recebi: Hexagrama 34 – O Poder do Grande (Da Zhuang) O céu troveja sobre o céu. Força criativa em expansão. Um momento de grande potência interior, de força vital acumulada, como um leão pronto para saltar. Eu sentia isso. Essa fase da vida — com minha família, minha Kombi, minha missão nômade — me dava um sentimento de estar pleno, decidido, energizado. Mas o Tao avisava: "Use ...
