"A desire not to butt into other people’s business is at least eighty percent of all human wisdom."
— Robert A. Heinlein (via samsaranmusing)
"I think the big mistake in schools is trying to teach children anything, and by using fear as the basic motivation. Fear of getting failing grades, fear of not staying with your class, etc. Interest can produce learning on a scale compared to fear as a nuclear explosion to a firecracker."
— Stanley Kubrick (via nezua)

"Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved."
— Helen Keller (via larmoyante)

* Re-post this again because sometimes I let the world bring the worst in me.


I wish people wouldn’t just see me as the Asian girl who beats everyone up, or the Asian girl with no emotion. People see Julia Roberts and Sandra Bullock in a romantic comedy, but not me. You add race to it, and it became, ‘Well she’s too Asian’, or ‘She’s too American’. I kind of got pushed out of both categories. It’s a very strange place to be. You’re not Asian enough and then you’re not American enough.

* LOL I also have a similar problem. I’m always between the tight places because my American friends think I’m too asian and my asian friends think I’m too Americanized.
The fuck do u want? Stop labeling people with the obvious physical features, religions, or gender.
Shit gets old VERY FAST.

Google Earth Engine is a joint project between Google and NASA that allows anyone access to a 30 year time-lapse of the surface of the earth. I made a video about how amazing, terrifying, and important it is.

We’ve had an eye on Earth for several decades now, and thanks to the new tool from Google that Hank talks about in his video above, we can see our profound effect on the planet in just a single young lifetime.

He notes that we aren’t very good at reconciling data with our own, personal daily existence and the proverbial price of eggs. Maybe that’s why graphs describing the changing climate and numbers such as “400 ppm” aren’t as effective as, say, these images here?

* The human race is like a fuckin cancer cells that are spreading all over the body which will then ultimately kill themselves all together too.

"Once you have identified with some form of negativity, you do not want to let go, and on a deeply unconscious level, you do not want positive change. It would threaten your identity as a depressed, angry, or hard-done by person. You will then ignore, deny, or sabotage the positive in your life. This is a common phenomenon. It is also insane."
— Eckhart Tolle (via samsaranmusing)
"Can you measure the worth of a sunbeam,
The worth of a treasured smile,
The value of love and giving,
The things that make life worthwhile? …
Can you measure the value of friendship,
Of knowing that someone is there,
Of faith and of hope and of courage,
A treasured and goodly share?
For nothing is higher in value,
Whatever life chooses to send-
We must prove that we, too, are worthy
And equal the worth of a friend."
— Garnett Ann Schultz  (via ecstaticallyinspired)

"There is a secret pride in every human heart that revolts at tyranny. You may order and drive an individual, but you cannot make him respect you."
