Easy to Hate, Difficult to Love

From Behind the Pen

It is easy to hate and it is difficult to love. This is how the whole scheme of things works. All good things are difficult to achieve; and bad things are very easy to get. -Confucius

Today we begin a brand new month, the month of May. So let’s think a little about what we “May” and can do.

Month Of May Doodle

May we hate less and love more.
May we be kind to one another, gentle with one another.
May we always be curious.
May we do something positive today and avoid the negative.

May we offer to feed someone instead of turning the other way as they starve to death.
May we be better than we were yesterday.
May we be an angel of life to others instead of the…

Why buy an EV without the battery?

Darcy Hitchcock

Nio makes electric vehicles in China. There, you have the option of buying the car but not the battery, which represents a large segment of the cost. Instead, Chinese owners can pay a subscription fee which allows them to swap out batteries when they run low.

Instead of paying for the battery in the cost of the vehicle, customers can pay for a monthly subscription to a service, roughly comparable to the cost of buying gas for an old-fashioned car. Whenever someone needs more power, they back the car into one of the company’s garages, and a machine automatically installs a freshly-charged battery. “Your depleted battery is popped out, and a refreshed, fully charged battery is popped in within three minutes,” she says. “And then you can just drive off. You don’t have to worry about sitting around waiting for your car to charge up.”

Healthy Life

Saania's diary - reflections, learnings, sparkles

I remember how, a couple of years ago, I used to eat one Cadbury dairy milk bubbly and drink one sugary mixed berry Lipton iced tea every single day at my school’s tuck shop. Every lunch break, the comforting sweet aroma of the tuck shop would cave me in. I didn’t care. It was my way to feel good and get momentary pleasure.

However, now that I’m more aware, even though I indulge in a delicious chocolate Oreo milkshake every once in a while, in the long-term I realise the importance of living healthy. Just like we can keep our minds healthy by positive thinking, our bodies need the same amount of respect, and when we let ourselves go, we are not respecting ourselves. Recently, I have been taking care of my health and I see the difference it has made to my body and my mind. I no longer…
