“Be present. Make love. Make tea. Avoid small talk. Embrace conversation. Buy a plant, water it. Make your bed. Make someone else’s bed. Have a smart mouth, and quick wit. Run. Make art. Create. Swim in the ocean. Swim in the rain. Take chances. Ask questions. Make mistakes. Learn. Know your worth. Love fiercely. Forgive quickly. Let go of what doesn’t make you happy. Grow.”

— Paulo Coelho  (via worldwideexplorers)

What’s up with “less” and “fewer”?

[theyuniversity]

In recent years, many corporations, including Microsoft, Starbucks, Tesco, and Mercedes-Benz, have famously struggled with the difference between “less” and “fewer.” Therefore, it is little wonder that thousands of individuals also struggle with this concept.

The rule, however, is very simple:

This rule applies to everything except time, distance, and money. In those cases, “less” is used even though they can be counted or measured. For example,

I spent less than 15 minutes on my essay.

The race-car driver began to celebrate when he was less than 100 feet from the finish line.

Luffy’s bounty is high, but it’s less than 500,000,000 ベリ.

Simple Tip:

If you can turn a singular noun into a plural noun by adding “s,” then use “fewer”:

car 🚘 → cars 🚘 🚗 … so, it’s fewer cars

cat 😸 → cats 😸😼 … so, it’s fewer cats

If you can’t, then use “less”:

oxygen → oxygens (❌) … so, it’s less oxygen

music → musics (❌) … so, it’s less music

“My generation is gruesomely lonely, but in response, we don’t need another handout, another kind gesture, or a better bible study. We don’t need more people that will merely know our name and address or care for us sporadically and at arms length. We need big, reimagined, Jesus kind of love, and people willing to sacrifice themselves in order to live it with us. We need people who will love us enough to get messy. So be deeply involved. Be covered in someone’s tears. Be the person who gets the call at midnight. Be the person who hears the gory details when someone’s marriage or career falls apart. Be the person who tells someone the hard stuff that they need to hear but no one wants to say. Be the person who repeatedly gets someone else’s mud and blood all over you. Be the person who goes home a little uncomfortable at night, not because of your behavior and thoughts, but because you’ve been near enough to someone else’s. Be a family member to the lonely, messy people of this world, and to my generation.”

“If you’re suffering right now, you don’t have to pretend it’s all good. You don’t have to add, ‘But praise God.’ When Jesus was hours from crucifixion, he didn’t sing in the garden or act hyper-spiritual. He was sweating blood. He asked the Father for a way out. But Jesus ultimately went to that cross with joy: not a shallow consolation that knows no pain, but a joy deepened by sorrow and recognizing the hurt of humanity. God is always trying to make you more human and not less. You can cry out in agony. In that honesty, God is establishing great character in you. Such a Christian is both happier and sadder at the same time, because they long for a better home and already have one.”

“Hey Soul? Yeah, this is a hurting world today. Think of the hospitals. Look at the headlines. And we could keep looking at the headlines, as if they had answers or explanations — or we could look to Him who is the answer, who offers us more than some high-fluting explanation, who offers us an experience of Himself, because He knows explanations can be cold & His arms are warm. His arms are warm. “When you call on Me, when you come & pray to Me, I’ll listen… I’ll give you strength. I’ll help you. I’ll hold you steady” {Jer29:12,Isa41:10MSG} No matter what happens in this busted-up world today or this weekend, in your own beautiful world: Pray. He listens & He holds. Today’s best exchange rate: in prayer you gain God, and you lose fear, anger, anxiety and insecurity.”
