What Happened When NYU Students Discovered They Could E-Mail 40,000 People At Once

Amor é um fogo

Amor é um fogo que arde sem se ver; 
É ferida que dói, e não se sente; 
É um contentamento descontente; 
É dor que desatina sem doer. 

É um não querer mais que bem querer; 
É um andar solitário entre a gente; 
É nunca contentar-se e contente; 
É um cuidar que ganha em se perder; 

É querer estar preso por vontade; 
É servir a quem vence, o vencedor; 
É ter com quem nos mata, lealdade. 

Mas como causar pode seu favor 
Nos corações humanos amizade, 
Se tão contrário a si é o mesmo Amor? 

Luís Vaz de Camões, in "Sonetos"

Relief

"For people who are experiencing stress at any given moment, a form of relief can be to simply change your physiology—take a couple of deep breaths. Most people only use 20% of their lung capacity taking small short breaths, but 70% of the body’s toxins can actually be released when taking a full breath! By taking the time to fill your lungs and release, you can not only improve your health but also radically decrease the anxiety related to that moment. There are many ways to change your physiology and in our seminars we prove this time after time by taking people who feel depressed and having them make a radical shift. Intuitively we know this can be changed not only by the way we move, but our breath and body temperature as well.
The second thing that affects our state is what we focus on. For example, if you’ve been at a funeral honoring someone you cared about and everyone is in a sad state and afterwards someone shares a story or anecdote about something that person did that was extremely humorous, suddenly everyone goes from tears to laughter. In an instant our states can be changed by what we focus on. What’s wrong is always available—but so is what’s right. Whatever we focus on effects our state and our state then effects the story we have about who we are, what’s life about, what’s possible and what’s not. From that story we will often determine whether or not we will maximize our capabilities and the strategies that will help us achieve what we’re truly after in a sustainable way."
