Another noted British explorer, Sir Ernest Shackleton, never reached the South Pole. While failing to achieve the first overland crossing of Antarctica, Shackleton succeeded at bringing all 27 members of his expedition party safely home, after 634 days of unbelievable hardship, and winning their cooperation, commitment, respect, and admiration....

This fact has been made oh-so clear by the website, Every Second on the Internet. The sleek and clean design of Every Second (as I’m calling it) catalogs the enormous amount of content being uploaded and shared by way of a scrolling display. It’s an infographic of sorts, but its graphics are not fixed; they increase in proportion to the amount of time you spend on the site. Sure, they could come out and tell us that one million Dropbox files have been uploaded in the past 90 seconds....

You Will Listen Better Too much social media is linked to a desire to dominate others, since one sees themselves above others....

A lot of decisions are to be made when deciding on the right facial hair style. Having a beard is a big commitment. There are some reasons you should have one and some why you should not.

In those images, God is the one with the beard, not man....

You understand people’s problems Sensitive people are able to see from a variety of perspectives. They almost live vicariously through other people’s emotions, especially when dealing with people they truly care about. This leads to deeper human connections, as their loved ones will see how much the sensitive person really cares by how they react in a given situation. The reinforcement a sensitive person gives a loved one just by their response makes it clear that the person genuinely enjoys seeing others happy....

Since we were small, we were told that going to school is important and essential. You probably heard similar lines to me: “don’t miss school”, “attend your classes”, “do your homework”, “listen to your teacher”… With this endless pressure from parents and teachers, it’s no wonder that dropping out from school has always been seen as a bad thing....

While the circulatory system work on this, it is possible for a person to sweat out around 1 pint of fluid in as little as 20 minutes....

Regardless of how you define “purpose,” you know whether you are chasing it or settling for less. Interestingly enough, you will face challenges in both cases. The only difference is how you feel at the end of the day. Why Is Life So Hard?

It wasn’t easy, but then it never is when you still love someone — or you think you do. Yet I still had a strong emotional pull to end it, no matter how many tears fell down my cheek.
