You won’t regret it! 3 Quotes That Caught My AttentionOnly those who truly care about you can hear you when you’re quiet, and that hit hard. Source Unknown
The quote “Only those who truly care about you can hear you when you’re quiet” is a popular saying that expresses the idea that true friends and loved ones can understand your feelings and thoughts without words. They can sense when something is wrong or when you need support, even if you don’t say anything. They can also appreciate your silence and give you space when you need it. The difference between school and life? In school, you’re taught a lesson and then given a test. In life, you’re given a test that teaches you a lesson. Attributed to Tom Bodett
The quote “The difference between school and life? In school, you’re taught a lesson and then given a test. In life, you’re given a test that teaches you a lesson” is attributed to Tom Bodett, an American author, voice actor, and radio host. He is best known for being the spokesperson for Motel 6 since 1986, ending his commercials with the phrase “We’ll leave the light on for you.” He suggests that school prepares us for life by giving us lessons first and then testing our knowledge and skills. However, life challenges us by giving us tests first and then teaching us lessons from our experiences. This quote reminds us that we can learn from both school and life , but we need to be flexible and adaptable to face different situations. When you can tell your story, and it doesn’t make you cry, that’s when you know you’ve healed. Source Unknown
The quote “When you can tell your story and it doesn’t make you cry, that’s when you know you’ve healed” is a popular saying that expresses the idea that healing from trauma or pain requires being able to face and accept what happened without being overwhelmed by emotions. It suggests that when we can share our story with others or ourselves without breaking down, we have reached a stage of recovery and closure. This quote resonates with many people who have gone through difficult or traumatic experiences in their lives. It offers hope and encouragement that healing is possible and that time can heal wounds. It also acknowledges that healing is not a linear process and that everyone heals at their own pace. A Jaw-Dropping YouTube Video That Blew My MindThe future is closer than we think. Artificial intelligence is a controversial topic; some fear it may become a catastrophe, while others hope it will be a benevolent companion. AI voice assistants have advanced conversational abilities, but AI-generated voices still have a hint of the robotic. However, Synthesis.io has created a voice that sounds almost human, which some believe is the most important revolution in the future of human communication. How long until AI can replace a singer? It’s already happening. Check out this video.
