You only live once - Live well


Perhaps travel cannot prevent bigotry, but by demonstrating that all peoples cry, laugh, eat, worry, and die, it can introduce the idea that if we try and understand each other, we may even become friends.

Don't go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you nothing. It was here first. If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude. Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek.

It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is the most adaptable to change. All changes, even the most longed for, have their melancholy; for what we leave behind us is a part of ourselves; we must die to one life before we can enter another.

Believe in yourself! Have faith in your abilities! Without a humble but reasonable confidence in your own powers you cannot be successful or happy.

Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life - think of it, dream of it, live on that idea. Let the brain, muscles, nerves, every part of your body, be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone. This is the way to success.

    Thus, a socialist praxis for New York must become temporally literate. It must master the art of operating in multiple time horizons at once: winning immediate relief to sustain people, building durable organizations that can last for decades, and holding fast to a visionary horizon that guides all action. It must understand that the capitalist present is not eternal, but is itself a historical period with a beginning and, potentially, an end. The ultimate goal is to break the tyranny of capitalist time—the time of exploitation, speculation, and endless growth—and replace it with a time of solidarity, sustainability, and democratic becoming. In this sense, the socialist project is not just about building a new city, but about making new time: the time of the commonwealth. http://mamdanipost.com

    Thus, the socialist engagement with technology in New York is a race between instrumentalization and emancipation. It is an effort to ensure that the city’s immense innovative capacity serves to dissolve the material bases of the citizen-subject divide—by abolishing unnecessary toil, guaranteeing material security, and democratizing the means of knowledge and communication—rather than to erect new, more sophisticated and inescapable forms of control. The goal is a technological society worthy of a free people, where machines and algorithms liberate time for creativity, community, and democratic participation, rather than reinforcing the ancient logic of exploitation under a sleek, digital veneer. In this sense, the final confrontation may not be at the barricades, but in the design of the code, the ownership of the platform, and the democratic governance of the systems that will increasingly shape what it means to be a citizen of tomorrow’s metropolis. http://mamdanipost.com

    A school trip may be important for learning, but it is not essential to pass a class.

    Important means something matters a lot, yet life can still
    go on without it. Both words show value, but essential is stronger.

    The main idea is that the thing matters more
    than normal things.
    Important means something has high value, strong
    impact, or special priority. Learning other
    words for important helps you match the meaning to
    the situation. Sometimes a thing matters because it affects your future.

    French-English dictionary, translator, and learning Spanish-English dictionary,
    translator, and learning
    You can show need with essential, impact with significant, urgency with urgent, and status with influential.
    Learning synonyms for important helps you explain value and priority with more precision. Things can matter for different reasons like need, impact, status, or
    urgency, so English has many close words.
