"This guy reading the newspaper on the subway is Keanu Reeves."


"This guy reading the newspaper on the subway is Keanu Reeves.

He is from a problematic family. His father was arrested when he was 12 for drug dealing and his mother was a stripper. His family moved to Canada and there he had several step dads.

He watched his girlfriend die. They were about to get married, and she died in a car accident. And also before that she had lost her baby. Since then Keanu avoids serious relationships and having kids.

He's one of the only Hollywood stars without a Mansion. He said: 'I live in a flat, I have everything that I need at anytime, why choose an empty house?'

One of his best friends died by overdose, he was River Phoenix (Joaquin Phoenix's brother). Almost in the same year Keanu's father was arrested again. 

His younger sister had leukemia. Today she is cured, and he donated 70% of his gains from the movie Matrix to Hospitals that treat leukemia.

In one of his birthdays, he got to a little candy shop and bought him a cake, and started eating alone. If a fan walked by he would talk to them and offer some of the cake.

He doesn't have bodyguards, and he doesn't wear fancy clothes.

When they asked him about 'Sad Keanu', he replied: 'You need to be happy to live, I don't.'"

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Everybody's got a story to tell. Sometimes it's a really sad one, like his. Almost every one reading this will react in the same way, I believe. Don't you just feel the urge to go find him, to hug him, to listen to him and just... be a friend? Sending some love your way, Keanu

What People Really Do When They're 'Working From Home'

What People Really Do When They're 'Working From Home'





A new survey by Citrix (CTXS), the Fort Lauderdale (Fla.) company that designs technology for employees to work remotely, shows that many people sneak in other activities while working from home.


Based on a survey of 1,013 American office workers, conducted in June by Wakefield Research, 43 percent watch TV or a movie and 20 percent play video games while officially working from home. Parents are more likely than those without children to partake in these two activities, which aren’t work-related.


Employees might not even be sober: 24 percent admit to having a drink. Twenty-six percent say they take naps. Others are distracted by housekeeping: 35 percent do household chores; 28 percent cook dinner.


Yet despite all the distractions, telecommuters are actually more productive than their peers in the office, according to preliminary findings from Stanford University’s study of a Chinese travel agency.


Jack M. Nilles, founder of management consulting firm,JALA International, says in an e-mail, “If an employee is doing the work and producing the desired results, what difference does it make if he/she includes a nap or cooking or a school play in the so-called work day?” He adds: “The whole point of teleworking, from the employee’s point of view, is the ability to fit one’s work into the rest of one’s life, not the other way around, as is the case in the ‘traditional’ office. The point of teleworking, from the employer’s point of view, is that its bottom-line benefits (productivity gains, space savings, employee retention, etc.) far exceed any feared risks of losses.”


Sharon Davis, who runs the website 2work-at-home.comand does other work from her home in Fort Bragg, Calif., says, “Whether it’s expected or O.K. [to do other things during work hours] depends on the arrangement you have with your employer and what their expectations are. If they give you complete autonomy to get your work done and don’t care if you hold certain hours, go knock yourself out.” Davis, who did a phone interview with me in her pajamas while watching morning television, says she takes advantage of the flexibility that working from home provides, especially when it comes to caring for her children. Still, she warns that turning on the TV can easily become a big time waster.

Mom challenges school sunscreen ban after daughters are severely burned

Mom challenges school sunscreen ban after daughters are severely burned

"After a school sunscreen ban left two Tacoma, Washington elementary students severely burned, their mother is taking on the school district.
Jesse Michener's daughters Violet, 11, and Zoe, 9, set out from their home last Tuesday for an all-day school event. The morning had been a rainy one but by noon the rain gave way to sun, and the girls began to burn. Violet and Zoe were not allowed to apply sunscreen due to a school policy against it, even though Zoe suffers from a form of albinism, a genetic condition that makes her particularly sun-sensitive.
“I was feeling all hot," Zoe Michener told TODAY. "I noticed that my shoulders were really more warmer than other parts of my body.” Her sister Violet also began to feel the heat: “I was playing games with my friends and that's when I basically started feeling like I was burning up.”

Singer Lauryn Hill says 'family safety came before taxes'

Hill, who has six children, gave few specifics in her rambling statement, in which she railed against manipulation by "a media protected military industrial complex", the commercialization of the music industry and of having her freedom of speech compromised.
"I did not deliberately abandon my fans, nor did I deliberately abandon any responsibilities, but I did however put my safety, health and freedom and the freedom, safety and health of my family first over all other material concerns!" she said.
"Obviously, the danger I faced was not accepted as reasonable grounds for deferring my tax payments, as authorities, who despite being told all of this, still chose to pursue action against me, as opposed to finding an alternative solution," she said.

Small Actions for Great Fitness Results

"Small Actions

The following are some ideas you can use to set up an environment conducive to getting fit — I’ve used them all at various times:
  1. Get rid of the snacks. Don’t keep them in your house or you’ll be more likely to eat them.
  2. Don’t buy convenience food. You’re likely to eat this when you’re too tired to cook.
  3. Instead, cook big batches of healthy food once a week. Have it in the fridge, ready to be heated up.
  4. Take healthy snacks to work.
  5. Create a healthy eating challenge with your coworkers.
  6. Join Fitocracy (invite code: zenhabits) and make friends there. Log your activities.
  7. Join a running club.
  8. Find a workout partner.
  9. Set up an appointment with your best friend to go walking or running every day.
  10. Get a coach.
  11. Set fitness challenges with your friends. Log them online, on Facebook or some other social site.
  12. Have a chinup bar in your doorway, and do a chinup every time you walk by.
  13. Join a sports team.
  14. Have nuts and fruit with you when you’re on the go.
  15. Make it hard to turn on the TV (put it in the closet or something).
  16. Use a program like LeechBlock or Freedom to shut the Internet down at a certain time each day.
  17. Have healthy potlucks with friends or family.
  18. Publicly commit to posting body pics or measurements each week on your blog.
  19. Make a list of healthy restaurants, or healthy meals at other restaurants, for when you feel like eating out.
  20. Park farther away from things so you’ll walk more.
Obviously not all of these will apply to everyone, and they’re just a start of what can be done, to give you an idea.
Setting up a fit environment doesn’t have to be hard, nor does it have to be overnight. But I challenge you to do one of these actions today, and see what happens when you start creating the right setup for a healthy life."

So when life is dragging you back with difficulties, it means that it’s going to launch you into something great.
So just focus, and keep aiming!
