There's that old saying: How you do one thing is how you do everything. Therefore, as you become more kind and caring, it shows in everything that you do, even when playing music.
I recently went to a jam session (即兴演奏)with some other musicians in town, many of whom I was meeting for the first time. When I used to jam with other musicians, I spent more time in my head thinking about my drumming instead of actually paying attention to what was going on. This time, though, I found that I was more attentive and was able to support the other musicians more through my playing.
Because of this, our music was better than ever before, and I could feel the audience was enjoying the music more too, because the music was no longer about me, it was about all of us connecting through the universal language of music.
Afterwards, the musicians I played with told me they felt like our hearts were connected while playing, and that we were able to achieve a new level of playing together thanks to our collected approach. When playing, there was no self. There was just us sharing ourselves with our open hearts.
I believe that the best musicians in the world have this in common: to see past their own selves and to listen to or connect with their audience and fellow musicians. I've realized all of this thanks to my practice of being a more kind and caring person.
So, I would like to thank everyone on this website for opening your hearts and showing me about how to be a more caring person. As I grow into a more kind and caring person, I can now not only bring joy to those in my daily life, but also to those who listen, through my music.
The way students spend their weekends can be different—some may enjoy going out and partying, and others would prefer staying in with friends and family watching a movie.
Going out can seem like the main thing that happens during the weekend. But not everyone is into that—some students study or stay in with friends, and others simply just don't go out because it is not their type of thing. If you are one of those people who decides to stay in, you probably know the feeling of being the "lame (差劲的) friend. "This leads to feeling bad about yourself and feeling like a buzzkill.
When students feel this way, they can also feel pressured into doing something that they originally did not want to do. Just because a person does not want to go out to party and drink does not mean that they are lame—they just have a different idea of a fun weekend. I have never been pressured into going out, but I do catch myself wondering sometimes why people choose to stay in the library instead of going home and watching a movie.
I don't think we should assume that everyone needs to go out during the weekend in order to have fun, and the social pressure to do so can be terrible. We should keep in mind that individuals are going through their own personal situations, and everyone has their own reasons for not going out. Staying in and watching a movie by yourself or with friends is not a bad thing, and people should normalize that not going out on the weekends is really not the worst thing.
I remember watching "Where the Crawdads Sing" with some friends one enjoyable and relaxing weekend. This type of environment didn't make me feel pressured into doing anything because someone else was doing it.
Recently, a team of researchers in Oxford University found that creating fuel(燃料)for planes out of CO2 could soon be a reality.
The process uses cheap iron as a material to catch CO2 from the air and turns it into fuel for planes. The researchers have described their discovery a "significant social progress" in how the plentiful greenhouse gas(CO2) is turned into fuel and its potential to make flying more environmentally acceptable.
Aviation(航空)is a large and growing contributor to the greenhouse effect. It contributes around 10 per cent of the UK's greenhouse gas emissions(排放). Flying has as a result become an environmental battleground-with environmentalists strongly against expansion of air travel-for increasing CO2 emissions.
The UK, by law, is determined to get to "zero" carbon emissions by 2050, so a new form of carbon fuel must be found. The problem for aviation is that its fuel breaks down and gives off CO2 and water, and both of them are sent out into the atmosphere.
However, the new technique would catch the gas in the air and create fuel, without the need of filling up with new fuel from the ground. CO2 is highly stable(稳定的), but the researchers managed to turn it back into fuel by using a chemical change powered by an iron-based material-at low temperatures-and adding hydrogen(H2).
Professor Edwards said the achievement could put Britain at a leading level of a new green industry He expected it could increase production in two to three years and the team is in discussion with UK industries to set up a factory to put it into production. "Our plan is that the world can see that CO2 can be used as energy carrier to enable aviation to last. " he said.
One of the biggest causes of back injury at work is lifting or handling objects incorrectly, and many people have ever experienced such cases now and then while dealing with heavy objects.
Think before you lift Plan the lift. Where is the load (负载) going to be placed? Are the obstacles (障碍物) such as deserted outer packing in your way? For long lifts, such as from floor to shoulder height, consider resting the load mid-way on a table or bench to change your hold onit.
Keep the load close to the waist Keep the load close to the waist for as longas possible while lifting to reduce the amount of pressure on the back. If closely approaching the load isn't possible try to slide it towards the body before trying to lift it.
Adopt a stable position Your feet should be apart with one leg slightly forward to keep balance. Wearing over-tight clothing or unsuitable footwear, such as highheels, may make this difficult.
Don't lift or handle more than you can easily manage. There's a difference between what people can lift and what they can safely lift. If you're in doubt, seek advice or get help.
A. Know your limits.
B. Will help be needed with the load?
C. Why not ask someone else to help?
D. Recognize your strengths and weaknesses.
E. Keep the heaviest side of the load next to the body.
F. Learning some correct methods can help prevent injury or a back pain.
G. Be prepared to move your feet during the lift to maintain a stable position.
As a foreign English teacher at my school in Japan, I have a 1 English music broadcast where I show different English songs for all the students during their lunch break.

He recently walked by meand gave me the sincerest 14 that I'd ever seen. My coworker turned to meand said, "I've never seen his face shine like that before. How did youget through to him?" "I gave him a(n) 15," I said, "through just one song."

Aminah was sad every day. Her mother had run off with a man she met at her workplace last year. Her father was depressed (沮丧的). He nearly broke down. Many a night he would come back crying out, "Why, why did she leave me?" So depressed was he that he lost himself in wine and Aminah often became the unfortunate victim (受害者) of his anger and depression. While at school, her classmates often made fun of her failing grades.
One day, her patience ran out, and she decided to leave home. "Where?" she wondered. She did not know. All she knew was that she had to get away from it all: a horrible father and school. Packing some necessary items and a few precious personal belongings, she ran away. She would leave her future to the gods.
There was confusion (困惑), uncertainty, and suffering. In her heart, she knew that running away would not solve her problems, but she had to do something. That night she walked aimlessly alone down a street away from her home, feeling a little comfort from the freedom she finally gained and being away from those mean eyes around her.
The night seemed to pass very slowly. Feeling tired and hungry, Aminah laid herself down on a chair at a bus stop beside the street. Curiously enough, staring at the stars twinkling in the sky, Aminah couldn't help thinking of her father - the heartbroken man and the only breadwinner of the family. "What is the poor man doing now? Does my running away secretly result in his deeper sorrow or worry?" she wondered. She was at a loss what to do when a policeman spotted her and asked about her condition.
