Love Your Life

lj520ail · Love Your Life

However mean your life is, meet it and live it; do not shun it and call it hard names. It is not so bad as

you are. It looks poorest when you are richest. The fault-finder will find faults in paradise. Love your

life, poor as it is. You may perhaps have some pleasant, thrilling, glorious hours, even in a poor-house.

The setting sun is reflected from the windows of the alms-house as brightly as from the rich man's abode;

the snow melts before its door as early in the spring. I do not see but a quiet mind may live as

contentedly there, and have as cheering thoughts, as in a palace. The town's poor seem to me often to live

the most independent lives of any. wow power leveling,May be they are

simply great enough to receive without misgiving. Most think that they are above being supported by the

town; but it often happens that they are not above supporting themselves by dishonest means. which should

be more disreputable. Cultivate poverty like a garden herb, like sage. Do not trouble yourself much to get

new things, whether clothes or friends, Turn the old, return to them. Things do not change; we change.

Sell your clothes and keep your thoughts.
The man who is aware of himself is henceforth independent; and he is never bored, and life is only too

short, and he is steeped through and through with profound yet temperate happiness. He alone lives, while

other people, slaves of ceremony, let life slip past time in a kind of dream. Once conform, once do what

other people do finer than they do it, and a lethargy steals over all the finer nerves and faculties of

the soul, world of warcraft power leveling, He

becomes all outer show and inward emptiness; dull, callous, and indifferent.
Joy in living comes from having fine emotions, trusting them, giving them the freedom of a bird in the

open. Joy in living can never be assumed as a pose, or put on from the outside as a mask. People who have

this joy don not need to talk about it; they radiate it. They just live out their joy and let it splash

its sunlight and glo
w into other lives as naturally as bird sings.
We can never get it by working for it directly. It comes, like happiness, to those who are aiming at

something higher. It is a byproduct of great, simple living. The joy of living comes from what we put into

living, not from what we seek to get from it.
Years ago, aoc power leveling

when I started looking for my first job, wise advisers urged, "Barbara, be enthusiastic! Enthusiasm will

take you further than any amount of experience."
How right they were. Enthusiastic people can turn a boring drive into an adventure, extra work into

opportunity and strangers into friends.

"Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm," wrote Ralph Waldo Emerson. It is the paste that

helps you hang in there when the going gets tough. It is the inner voice that whispers, "I can do it!"

when others shout, "No, you can't."
It took years and years for the early work of Barbara McClintock, a geneticist who won the 1983 Nobel

Prize in medicine, to be generally accepted. Yet she didn't let up on her experiments. Work was such a

deep pleasure for her that she never thought of stopping.

We are all born with wide-eyed, enthusiastic wonder as anyone knows who has ever seen an infant's delight

at the jingle of keys or the scurrying of a beetle.
It is this childlike wonder that gives enthusiastic people such a youthful air, whatever their age. At 90,

cellist Pablo Casals would start his day by playing Bach. As the music flowed through his fingers, his

stooped shoulders would straighten and joy would reappear in his eyes. Music, for Casals, was an elixir

that made life a never ending adventure. As author and poet Samuel Ullman once wrote, "Years wrinkle the

skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul."

How do you rediscover the enthusiasm of your childhood? The answer, I believe, lies in the word itself.

"Enthusiasm" comes from the Greek and means "God within." And what is God within is but an abiding sense

of love -- proper love of self (self-acceptance) and, from that, love of others.

Enthusiastic people also love what they do, regardless of money or title or power. If we cannot do what we

love as a full-time career, we can as a part-time avocation, like the head of state who paints, the nun

who runs marathons, the executive who handcrafts furniture.

Elizabeth Layton of Wellsville, Kan, was 68 before she began to draw. This activity ended bouts of

depression that had plagued her for at least 30 years, and the quality of her work led one critic to say,

"I am tempted to call Layton a genius." Elizabeth has rediscovered her enthusiasm.

We can't afford to waste tears on "might-have-beens." We need to turn the tears into sweat as we go after

"what-can-be."

We need to live each moment wholeheartedly, with all our senses -- finding pleasure in the fragrance of a

back-yard garden, the crayoned picture of a six-year-old, the enchanting beauty of a rainbow. It is such

enthusiastic love of life that puts a sparkle in our eyes, a lilt in our steps and smooths the wrinkles

from our souls.

People and Colors

One person chooses a bright red car, but another prefers a dark green. One family paints the living room a sunny yellow, but another family uses pure white. One child wants a bright orange ball, but another wants a light blue one. Psychologists and businessmen think these differences are important. (wow power leveling)
In general, people talk about two groups of colors: warm colors and cool colors. Researchers think that there are also two groups of people: people who prefer warm colors and people who prefer cool colors.
The warm colors are red, orange, and yellow. Where there are warm colors and a lot of light, people usually want to be active. People think that red, for example, is exciting. Sociable people, those who like to be with others, like red. The cool colors are green, blue, and violet. These colors, unlike warm colors, are relaxing. Where there are cool colors, people are usually quiet. People who like to spend time alone often prefer blue. wow gold
Red may be exciting, but one researcher says that time seems to pass more slowly in a room with warm colors than in a room with cool colors. He suggests that a warm color, such as read or orange, is a good color for a living room or restaurant. People who are relaxing or eating do not want time to pass quickly. Cool colors are better for offices or factories if the people who are working there want time to pass quickly.
Researchers do not know why people think some colors are warm and other colors are cool. However, almost everyone agrees that red, orange, and yellow are warm and that green, blue, and violet are cool. Perhaps warm colors remind people of warm days and the cool colors remind them of cool days. Because in the north the sum is low during winter, the sunlight appears quite blue. Because the sun is higher during summer, the hot summer sunlight appears yellow.
People associate colors with different objects, feelings, and holidays. Red, for example, is the color of fire, heat, blood, and life. People say red is an exciting and active color. They associate red with a strong feeling like anger. Red is used for signs of danger, such as STOP signs and fire engines. The holiday which is associated with red is Valentine's Day. On February 14, Americans send red hearts to people they love. (world of warcraft power leveling)
Orange is the bright, warm color of leaves in autumn. People say orange is a lively, energetic color. They associate orange with happiness. They holidays which are associated with orange are Halloween in October and Thanksgiving Day in November. One October 31 many Americans put large orange pumpkins in their windows for Halloween.
Yellow is the color of sunlight. People say it is a cheerful and lively color. They associate yellow, too, with happiness. Because it is bright, it is used for signs of caution.
Green is the cool color of grass in spring. People say it is a refreshing and relaxing color. Machines in factories are usually painted light green.
Blue is the color of the sky, water, and ice. Police and Navy uniforms are blue. When people are sad, they say "I feel blue." They associate blue with feelings like unhappiness and fear.
Violet, or purple, is the deep, soft color of darkness or shadows. People consider violet a dignified color. They associate it with loneliness. On Easter Sunday people decorate baskets with purple ribbons.
White is the color of snow. People describe white as a pure, clean color. They associate white with a bright clean feeling. Doctors and nurses normally wear white uniforms. On the other hand, black is the color of night. People wear black clothes at serious or formal ceremonies. world of warcraft gold
Businessmen know that people choose products by color. Businessmen want to manufacture products which are the colors people will buy. Fox example, an automobile manufacturer needs to know how many cars to paint red, how many green, and how many black. Good businessmen know that young people prefer different colors than old people do and men prefer different colors than women do.
Young children react to the color of an object before they react to its shape. They prefer the warm colors - red, yellow, and orange. When people grow older, they begin to react more to the shape of an object than to its color. The favorite color of adults of all countries is blue. Their second favorite color is red, and their third is green.
On the whole, women prefer brighter colors than men do. Almost everyone likes red, but women like yellow and green more than men do. Pink is usually considered a feminine color. Blue is usually considered a masculine color. As a result, people dress baby girls in pink and baby boys in blue. However, it is dangerous to generalize because taste changes. For example, years ago businessmen wore only white shirts; today they wear many different colors, including pink.
If two objects are the same except for color, they will look different. Color can make an object look nearer than a blue object. For example, red letters on a blue sign look as though they are in front of the sign. Bright objects look larger than dark objects. However, they are actually the same size. Large or fat people who want to look smaller or slimmer wear dark clothes. When they wear dark clothes, they look smaller and slimmer than they are. lord of the rings gold
In conclusion, color is very important to people. Warm and cool colors affect how people feel. People choose products by color. Moreover, color affects how an object looks. It is even possible that your favorite color tells a lot about you.
