Music is food for the soul


Perhaps travel cannot prevent bigotry, but by demonstrating that all peoples cry, laugh, eat, worry, and die, it can introduce the idea that if we try and understand each other, we may even become friends.

Don't go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you nothing. It was here first. If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude. Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek.

It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is the most adaptable to change. All changes, even the most longed for, have their melancholy; for what we leave behind us is a part of ourselves; we must die to one life before we can enter another.

Believe in yourself! Have faith in your abilities! Without a humble but reasonable confidence in your own powers you cannot be successful or happy.

Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life - think of it, dream of it, live on that idea. Let the brain, muscles, nerves, every part of your body, be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone. This is the way to success.

    Found this really helpful, the explanations are simple but they actually answer the questions a normal reader would have, and after I followed ethicaleverydaystyle I had a clearer sense of the topic, no extra fluff just useful points laid out in a sensible order that made the time worth it.

    Now considering writing a longer note about the post somewhere, and a look at ethicaleverydaystyle added more material for that note, content that prompts me to write rather than just consume is content with generative energy and this site is producing that generative effect for me at a higher rate than most sources.

    Came away with a slightly better mental model of the topic than I started with, and a stop at boneclog sharpened that further, content that improves the reader thinking apparatus rather than just dumping facts into it is the rare kind I genuinely value and seek out when I have time to read carefully.

    However casually I came to this site I have ended up reading carefully, and a look at boneclog continued earning that careful reading, the conversion from casual visitor to careful reader is something content earns rather than demands and this site has accomplished that conversion for me over the course of just a few pieces.

    Liked how the post handled an objection I was forming as I read, and a stop at boneclog similarly anticipated where my thinking was going next, the rare writer who can predict reader concerns and address them in advance is doing something most online content fails to do despite that being basic editorial work.

    Worth flagging this post as worth a careful read rather than a casual skim, and a stop at globebeats earned the same careful approach, the few sites that warrant slower reading are sites I now treat differently from the daily content stream and this one has clearly moved into that elevated treatment category.

    Now saved this in a way that I will actually find again rather than the casual bookmark approach, and a stop at oasismeadow earned the same careful saving, organising my reading bookmarks so that high quality sources rise to the top is something I should do more of and this site triggered that organisation today.

    Reading this slowly to absorb the structure, and the structure is doing real work alongside the words, and a look at globebeat maintained the same architectural quality, when sentence shapes and paragraph rhythms reinforce the meaning rather than just transporting words you know you are reading skilled work today.

    Decided not to skim despite my usual habit and was rewarded for the discipline, and a stop at edenfairs earned the same patient approach, training myself to recognise sites that warrant slower reading is part of being a careful online reader and this site is the kind that helps me practice that skill regularly.
