A professora e pesquisadora da UNB, Regina Dalcastagnè, dedicou seus últimos 15 anos a estudar os modelos sociais construídos e validados pela literatura brasileira contemporânea. Qual a porcentagem de mulheres escritoras? Como os negros costumam ser retratados em obras de ficção? Os resultados mostram uma ficção que é ainda menos múltipla que a realidade nacional, com um perfil de autores médios desconfortavelmente menos uniforme que o Brasil.

21 habits of happy people

 

“Happiness is a habit – cultivate it.” ~ Elbert Hubbar
Happiness is one aspiration all people share. No one wants to be sad and depressed.

 

We’ve all seen people who are always happy – even amidst agonizing life trials. I’m not saying happy people don’t feel grief, sorrow or sadness; they just don’t let it overtake their life. The following are 21 things happy people make a habit of doing:

 

 

1. Appreciate Life

Be thankful that you woke up alive each morning. Develop a childlike sense of wonder towards life. Focus on the beauty of every living thing. Make the most of each day. Don’t take anything for granted. Don’t sweat the small stuff.

2. Choose Friends Wisely

Surround yourself with happy, positive people who share your values and goals. Friends that have the same ethics as you will encourage you to achieve your dreams. They help you to feel good about yourself. They are there to lend a helping hand when needed.

3. Be Considerate

Accept others for who they are as well as where they are in life. Respect them for who they are. Touch them with a kind and generous spirit. Help when you are able, without trying to change the other person. Try to brighten the day of everyone you come into contact with.

4. Learn Continuously

Keep up to date with the latest news regarding your career and hobbies. Try new and daring things that has sparked your interest – such as dancing, skiing, surfing or sky-diving.

5. Creative Problem Solving

Don’t wallow in self-pity. As soon as you face a challenge get busy finding a solution. Don’t let the set backs affect your mood, instead see each new obstacle you face as an opportunity to make a positive change. Learn to trust your gut instincts – it’s almost always right.

6. Do What They Love

Some statistics show that 80% of people dislike their jobs! No wonder there’s so many unhappy people running around. We spend a great deal of our life working. Choose a career that you enjoy – the extra money of a job you detest isn’t worth it. Make time to enjoy your hobbies and pursue special interests.

7. Enjoy Life

Take the time to see the beauty around you. There’s more to life than work. Take time to smell the roses, watch a sunset or sunrise with a loved one, take a walk along the seashore, hike in the woods etc. Learn to live in the present moment and cherish it. Don’t live in the past or the future.

8. Laugh

Don’t take yourself – or life to seriously. You can find humor in just about any situation. Laugh at yourself – no one’s perfect. When appropriate laugh and make light of the circumstances. (Naturally there are times that you should be serious as it would be improper to laugh.)

9. Forgive

Holding a grudge will hurt no one but you. Forgive others for your own peace of mind. When you make a mistake – own up to it – learn from it – and FORGIVE yourself.

10. Gratitude

Develop an attitude of gratitude. Count your blessings; All of them – even the things that seem trivial. Be grateful for your home, your work and most importantly your family and friends. Take the time to tell them that you are happy they are in your life.

11. Invest in Relationships

Always make sure your loved ones know you love them even in times of conflict. Nurture and grow your relationships with your family and friends by making the time to spend with them. Don’t break your promises to them. Be supportive.

12. Keep Their Word

Honesty is the best policy. Every action and decision you make should be based on honesty. Be honest with yourself and with your loved ones.

13. Meditate

Meditation gives your very active brain a rest. When it’s rested you will have more energy and function at a higher level. Types of meditation include yoga, hypnosis, relaxation tapes, affirmations, visualization or just sitting in complete silence. Find something you enjoy and make the time to practice daily.

14. Mind Their Own Business

Concentrate on creating your life the way you want it. Take care of you and your family. Don’t get overly concerned with what other people are doing or saying. Don’t get caught up with gossip or name calling. Don’t judge. Everyone has a right to live their own life the way they want to – including you.

15. Optimism

See the glass as half full. Find the positive side of any given situation. It’s there – even though it may be hard to find. Know that everything happens for a reason, even though you may never know what the reason is. Steer clear of negative thoughts. If a negative thought creeps in – replace it with a positive thought.

16. Love Unconditionally

Accept others for who they are. You don’t put limitations on your love. Even though you may not always like the actions of your loved ones – you continue to love them.

17. Persistence

Never give up. Face each new challenge with the attitude that it will bring you one step closer to your goal. You will never fail, as long as you never give up. Focus on what you want, learn the required skills, make a plan to succeed and take action. We are always happiest while pursuing something of value to us.

18. Be Proactive

Accept what can not be changed. Happy people don’t waste energy on circumstances beyond their control. Accept your limitations as a human being. Determine how you can take control by creating the outcome you desire – rather than waiting to respond.

19. Self Care

Take care of your mind, body and health. Get regular medical check ups. Eat healthy and work out. Get plenty of rest. Drink lots of water. Exercise your mind by continually energizing it with interesting and exciting challenges.

20. Self Confidence

Don’t try to be someone that you’re not. After all no one likes a phony. Determine who you are in the inside – your own personal likes and dislikes. Be confident in who you are. Do the best you can and don’t second guess yourself.

21. Take Responsibility

Happy people know and understand that they are 100% responsible for their life. They take responsibility for their moods, attitude, thoughts, feelings, actions and words. They are the first to admit when they’ve made a mistake.

Begin today by taking responsibility for your happiness. Work on developing these habits as you own. The more you incorporate the above habits into your daily lifestyle – the happier you will be.

Most of all: BE TRUE TO YOURSELF.

Flagrantes da vida real: O mundo artístico

No salão.

– A senhora foi no show do Cicrano e Beltrano? (Não vou lembrar o nome)

– Não, não conheço.

– Ah, mas no show da Fulana de Tal, foi de graça, todo mundo foi, a senhora foi, né?

– Não, não sei quem é.

Espantada:

– Nossa, a senhora não conhece ninguém do mundo artístico???

Pausa longa. Respiração profunda.

– Depende de que “mundo artístico” você está falando. Este ai eu não conheço.

Silêncio. Fim de papo.

MILITARY MIGHT VS. MARINE MAMMALS ?

MILITARY MIGHT VS. MARINE MAMMALS ?
The U.S. Department of Defense has given the U.S. Navy permission to cover 70% of the Earth’s oceans with their sonar systems! The Navy’s training plans threaten entire populations of marine wildlife off the East Coast, Southern California, Hawaii and the Gulf Coast. These include many of the world’s rare and endangered whale species, such as blue whales, fin whales and North Atlantic right whales, which are barely clinging to survival.

High-intensity sonar can deafen, injure and even kill marine mammals, and has caused numerous mass strandings and deaths of whales on beaches around the world.

“This mid-frequency sonar will bombard whales with noise so intense — up to 236 decibels — it can actually cause their internal organs to hemorrhage. It’s distressing that the Navy refuses to put common-sense precautions in place that could protect whales during routine training — especially because taking such steps would in no way compromise our military readiness. Whales should not have to suffer or die for military practice.”
— Pierce Brosnan, Actor and NRDC Member

We can put a halt to the injury and death of whales, dolphins, seals and other marine mammals by bringing our voices together on this issue.

TAKE ACTION – SIGN & SHARE the links below:

1. Tell the National Marine Fisheries Service to reject the Navy’s irresponsible plan and put safeguards in place that will protect marine animals without compromising military readiness.

2. Tell the California Coastal Commission to minimize harm to marine mammals and put areas with high concentrations of marine mammals off-limits to the Navy’s sonar and explosives. Safeguarding marine mammals during routine training and testing will not compromise military readiness.

Curiosity Rover put to Sleep after Major Malfunction

VIA From Quarks to Quasars

Curiosity Rover put to Sleep after Major Malfunction:

NASA’s Mars rover has a memory issue. Considering that the rover is millions of miles away, traveling about collecting samples on another planet, this makes repairs a little bit tricky. For now, the rover has been placed in “safe mode” while the NASA team in charge of operations attempts to troubleshoot the problem.

Fortunately, like many spacecraft, Curiosity has a backup plan.

Obviously, you don’t send a multimillion dollar instrument across the solar system without planning for technological issues and system failures. Thus, the rover was equipped with a pair of computers, just in case one was to experience errors. Each of the computers, A-side and B-side, also have redundant subsystems that are linked to just that computer. Consequently, errors from one computer should not affect the operations of the other.

NASA scientists state that the problem is related to a glitch in flash memory, which is linked to the other (now-inactive) A computer. This means that Curiosity is now hibernating in its B-side. Scientists noticed the problem when Curiosity did not send recorded data as scheduled. Instead, it sent only current status information (information regarding its systems and operations). This status information revealed that the A computer had not switched to the daily “sleep” mode when planned.

Magdy Bareh, leader of the mission’s anomaly resolution team, stated that the team is working on a way to correct the errors with the A-side (trying to find a way to restore this side so that it can be used as a viable backup if the need arises) while they are attempting to resume operations on the B-side.

These errors come at a critical time, as earlier this week the laboratory instruments inside the rover began analyzing portions of the first sample of rock powder ever collected from the interior of a rock on Mars. However, at this point, scientists do not believe that there is any reason for serious concern, and Curiosity is expected to resume normal activities in a few days.

We’ll keep you posted.
