Adversidade

Pensamentos.me/VEM comigo!

“Na adversidade, descobri os melhores momentos da minha vida.”

Marii Freire

Encarar a adversidade de uma maneira consciente é primordial para quem quer vencer. Eu digo e repito: é preciso saber ter equilíbrio entre o que é bom e o incidente, ou seja as coisas que tiram o nosso chão. Claro que, nem todas as pessoas pensam dessa forma. Mas é preciso ter firmeza diante do que você quer. Evidentemente que, aquilo que nos desestrutura, por vezes, tira essa capacidade bonita que se tem de acreditar na vida. Porém, é preciso ter foco, mais do que isso, conhecimento para saber lidar com as muitas exigências do que precisamos para seguir. Pois, do contrário, você sucumbe diante do mínimo possível.

” É preciso coragem para seguir em frente “

Você só terá coragem para seguir em frente, se tiver discernimento diante próprias mazelas. É preciso saber negociar consigo. E aí, nesse…

Alabama Woman Jailed for Using Drugs During Pregnancy Wasn’t Even Pregnant

An Alabama woman who was jailed for allegedly using drugs while pregnant wasn’t even pregnant—and was locked up for three days before even being allowed to take a pregnancy test, per a Monday report in AL.com.

Stacey Freeman, had been under investigation by the county Department of Human Resources for alleged substance use after one of her young children told a social worker their mom was pregnant. Without any medical confirmation, Etowah County Sheriff Investigator Brandi Fuller issued a warrant for Freeman’s arrest for chemical endangerment of a child, and Freeman was booked into the Etowah County Detention Center on Feb. 1.

Warren: Uninsured pay high costs for insulin Eli Lilly vowed to lower

  • Uninsured Americans pay nearly $98 on average for a vial of Eli Lilly’s generic insulin.
  • Eli Lilly earlier this year vowed to slash the list price of its generic insulin, Lispro, from $82.42 per vial starting May 1.
  • Sen. Warren’s report surveyed more than 300 pharmacies in the U.S. between June 9 and June 28 to determine whether Eli Lilly’s announced price cut “translated into real relief for patients.”
  • Warren said the report demonstrates that Congress needs to take additional steps to reduce the excessive prices of insulin from Eli Lilly, Sanofi and Novo Nordisk.

♫ You’ll Never Walk Alone ♫

Filosofa's Word

There are only three songs by Gerry and the Pacemakers that I have played before:  Ferry Cross the Mersey (2); Don’t Let the Sun Catch You Crying; and I’m Telling You Now.  Last time I played Ferry Cross the Mersey in 2021, several readers mentioned this one, You’ll Never Walk Alone.  I’m sure that at the time I intended to play it shortly thereafter, but as happens to many of my plans, that thought went astray and I never played it.  So tonight, I was thinking to redux Ferry Cross the Mersey, but when I looked back at the comments, saw the suggestions for this one, I decided to change course and play this instead.

I was surprised to learn that this was originally written for the 1945 musical Carousel. It was sung in the original show by Christine Johnson.

According to SongFacts …

Esperanto Wall Collage To Learn A Language As We Walk?

Context, Thought, and Learning: ShiraDest Offers Project Do Better

     Hanging your vocabulary on the wall as a collage may not actually result in your learning a it without effort, but in the case of Esperanto, it will help you remember the words and connect them with other root words or grammar points.  Since there are fewer and more logically connected words in Esperanto, you might just learn this languge while you walk to the bus stop with your neighbors and friends.

More soon,
and
        Hopefully, the empathy that studying languages  together can build, along with a bit more compassion for those who have been historically pushed out, can help eventually build in more understanding, leading to more equitable distribution,  and happiness for everyone.
