Overlapping

People at the same place in different minutes. How crowded it would look if the photos captured entire days, or weeks!

With 3 seconds left in the fourth quarter and his team down 16-17, Ravens (#9) kicker Justin Tucker swung his leg with as much power as he could and broke the record for the longest field goal in league history, a 66-yarder that bounced off the crossbar and into the net.

Impact

At the approach of danger there are always two voices that speak with equal power in the human soul:

one very reasonably tells a man to consider the nature of the danger and the means of escaping it;

the other, still more reasonably, says that it is too depressing and painful to think of the danger since it is not in man’s power to foresee everything and avert the general course of events.

Therefore, better to disregard what is painful till it comes.

Too Late To Turn Away

Passion needs to be cultivated.

What is the best thing you can think of? Let your natural passion for existence extend to include that.

P.S. You are more likely to think of something better while you are doing something productive rather than while you are “just waiting”.
