Small thoughts

Standing upside-down bring more blood to the head, a good practice during reading breaks.

I help my young cousin with her middle school math every Sunday. She is learning elementary algebra now. All her homework is about how to substitute the variables in formula with other monomial or polynomial. The basic thinking pattern--substitution--is one work we now still practise in college.

子贡问曰:"有一言而可以终身行之者乎?"子曰:"其恕乎! 己所不欲, 勿施于人。"I read similar thoughts in Dale Carnegie's How to Win Friends and Influence People: "If out of reading this book you get just one thing--an increased tendency to think always in terms of other people's point of view, and see things from their angle--if you get that one thing out of this book..." Humans are similar in nature whether we are yellow, white or black.
