  1. A quotation from Eleanor Roosevelt

    One thing life has taught me: if you are interested, you never have to look for new interests. They come to you. They will gravitate as automatically as the needle to the north. Somehow, it is unnecessary, in any cold-blooded sense, to sit down and put your head in your hands and plan them. All you need to do is to be curious, receptive, eager for experience. And there’s one strange thing: when you are genuinely interested in one thing, it will always lead to something else.

    Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962) First Lady of the US (1933–1945), politician, diplomat, activist
    You Learn by Living, ch. 1 “Learning to Learn” (1960)

  6. We are energetic beings. Longing sends out an impulse. When it finds a receptive connection, action happens.

    If we are longing for something or someone in particular, nothing will happen unless that specific receptivity is there.

    That's why it's better not to limit our search. Whether we long for love or for help, we should be open to the surprise of who might show up.

    Ask: What does my heart long for most? Focus on the feeling you will have when it happens and forget the specifics that limit your search.

  7. Here's a new #introduction:

    Hi from #Taiwan. I teach #English to children. By the time I see them, many are exhausted from a full day of public school. It's an interesting challenge.

    The #teaching experience has piqued my curiosity about broader issues of #engagement, #receptivity, #attention, and #language. (1/2)
