This is the moment a cleaner at a British university burst into tears after students raised $ 2,063 to send him to Jamaica on vacation to see family.
Herman Gordon, who has worked at Bristol University for more than a decade, is described as "one of the most loved" members of its cleaning staff. He is so well liked that a group of students raised money to give him a holiday. A video shows a student hands an envelope of cash to the surprised Gordan with tears rolling down his cheeks. He wipes away tears with a cleaning cloth and hugs the student who gave it to him. Gordan said: "I want to thank every one of you and God bless every one of you."
The group of students started the fundraising because they liked Gordon so much. A post said: "The Jamaican cleaner in the biomedical library is the jolliest man I have ever met; he makes me smile even when I'm in the deepest depths of sorrow, if you want a reason to smile, go talk to him for a minute or two."
Anyone who has been to the biomedical library knows who Herman the cleaner is. Simply put, Herman is the epitome (典范) of happiness, "All year round, this man works hours on end to provide us with a clean working space in which to study. But most importantly, his everlasting positive attitude has managed to turn many students' dark days into positive ones filled with joy," said a student. Whether you're just feeling generally down or stressed out due to exams, Herman is always there to encourage you.
This legend proves that happiness is not about what you own, what job you have or how much money you've got, but about appreciating what you currently have in life even if it's small.
Capone came into Animal Friends rescue in Pittsburgh in November 2017 as a transfer from a partner rescue organization. He was an immediate hit with everyone who met him. "Capone is a sweet, silly, outgoing, and loving dog who has so much passion for life," Monique Serbu, the shelter coordinator（协调员）tells Treehugger. "He's very intelligent learned quickly and is always eager to please. There were many staff and volunteers who developed a special bond with him."
But when adopters came into the shelter looking for a pet, no one left with Capone. "Unfortunately Capone seemed to have many features and criteria not in his favor… the color of his fur, his age, he preferred to be the only pet in the household and no children," Serbu says.
"Capone also had some very specific behavioral and medical challenges and our dedicated team of staff and volunteers worked with him each day to ensure he was receiving the best possible care while preparing to find a family he could call his own."
But then a family came in and saw something special in Capone. They visited the shelter several Saturdays in a row to get to know him and decided to foster him for a few weeks, hoping that it would work out and they would eventually adopt him. "I honestly have no words that exactly express how beautifully Capone has made his new house a home and of the love between him and his adopters. His pestilence has truly paid off," says JT Mangan, the adoption counselor (顾问) who made the match.
His adopters have requested privacy as they settled in with their newest family member, but they told the rescue;
"Since we've welcomed Capone into our home, his transformation has been truly amazing. His anxiety has decreased quickly. He is a good and loving boy who enjoys snuggling (依偎) and family life. We attribute his success to the care and training he received from the devoted staff and volunteers at Animal Friends." After 1,134 days, Capone has finally found his forever home.
Imagine you made plans with a new friend to talk on the phone. You called but there was no answer-and you didn't get a call back. What happened? Perhaps they got held up by a work obligation. Perhaps they didn't want to meet but didn't bother to cancel. Or perhaps they had a busy week and simply forgot to write down your appointment time.
In social situations like this, our minds can produce various explanations, ranging from ones that are more understanding to ones that put blame to the other party. Psychologists refer to this as our attributional style. Past research has found that individuals with a "hostile" attributional style tend to be less satisfied with their relationships.
According to a new study, they're also less happy overall. The researchers can't say for sure whether seeing people as hostile directly lowers our happiness, or whether unhappy people are just more likely to make hostile attribution in the first place. However, this study does suggest the possibility that giving people the benefit of the doubt is a practice to improve our relationships and well-being.
Dorota Jasielska, lead researcher of the study, suggests that we start by developing positive and trusting social relationships. When we find ourselves surrounded by warmth and support, it can help us see the social world in a kinder light. Another important strategy is to have open and direct communication. Instead of letting your anxieties get worse, it may be better to simply talk to people about their confusing behavior.
So the next time a friend cancels plans or forgets to text back, consider giving him the benefit of the doubt and waiting to hear his side of things before jumping to conclusions. Assuming others have good intentions will make the world seem like a friendlier place.
Many students study with little thought about what comes after their study session. . Now we will explore some no-cost ways that can help you improve your learning.
. Perhaps they look at their phone or computer. They might even play a video game or watch television. But research suggests that resting after you study may help you remember what you studies.
A study published in the journal PLOS One examined how well older people who were in good health could remember certain words. In two different experiments, researchers found that older adults who rested for 10 minutes after learning new words had better memory of those words. "A period of wakeful rest immediately after new learning increases free recall of verbal material," the researchers wrote. ."
In addition to wakeful rest, sleep is also important for learning. A report on the website of Harvard Medical School explains that a person lacking sleep cannot focus attention and therefore cannot learn efficiently. . That is essential for learning new information.
Robert Stickgold is a doctor and sleep expert at Harvard Medical School. "," he said. "When we first form memories, they're in a very raw and fragile form. Sleep is important for forming memories."Stickgold suggested that adults between the ages of 18 and 64 get between 7 and 9 hours of sleep per day. Teenagers may need slightly more, and people over the age of 65 may need a little less.
A. New memories can be hard to keep
B. The results were strong even after seven days
C. But what you do after studying could have an effect on how well you learn
D. Now you have two suggestions for how to learn new information
E. Many students often go straight to another activity after finishing study
F. By reducing your activity after study, your brain gets a chance to rest
G. It also says sleep itself has a role in strengthening memory

Although he was a smart boy, he didn't study hard al school and often got into trouble with other teenagers in his neighborhood.
One day, while Daniel was walking on the playground, a boy of his age started making fun of him. Then that boy pushed him hard and Daniel fell onto the ground. Daniel became so angry that he stood up and beat that boy. So a fight began.
