WHEN NATE AND HIS BROTHERS were placed into my care, I gave them instructions on how to live in their new home and kept them in a plastic container for a week. Eventually, I moved Nate’s little family to a better home — a carefully cleaned and treated glass environment that I had custom-prepared for them.

Wow, not only was I amazed that science can now grow neurons out of skin cells, but this was also an inspiring article showing how science and faith are not mutually exclusive.

The semicolon tattoo has a very specific meaning. Find out what it is all about here.

The semicolon is an important piece of punctuation and is a perfect symbol for those who are struggling. As Amy says, “A semicolon is used when an author could’ve chosen to end their sentence, but chose not to. The author is you and the sentence is your life.”

“I’ve been having nerve issues, and this past year it’s gotten so bad that it hurts too much for me to walk. It was completely unexpected. I’ve always been such an optimistic person, but now I’m fighting with depression. He’s doing everything he can to take my mind off of it. We’re not sure if I’m going to get better, but he’s planning a backpacking tour through Europe for when I do. And I told him that I didn’t think I could handle a visit to New York right now, but he told me that he’d push me around the whole city. And he has. And whenever I feel particularly down, he tells me that he’s not going anywhere, and how happy he is that he married me. Not long ago I had a particularly rough period, and when I was at one of my lowest moments, he asked if we could renew our vows.”

“She has such a deep joy for life. She’s the one that taught me that no matter what happens, we’ll be just fine. I’ve always been so serious and ambitious, but I haven’t always been able to live up to my own standards. I wanted to get into a top law school, but that didn’t happen– I went to a fourth tier law school instead. Then after I graduated, I kept failing to get the job I wanted. But after each setback, she always gave me the sense that no matter what happened, we’d be just fine. She taught me that early on. So when her health problems started, I knew that even if she’s never able to walk again—we’ll be just fine.“

Wow I’m so inspired by his passion for science, humility, and faith. Sorry for shedding more light on your anonymity Mr. Chan.

I was never raised to be happy as much as I was raised to be successful. And that success usually came in specific quantifiable terms like having a well-paying job, a medical degree from a reputable school, or marrying a Chinese bilingual doctor husband. It was inferred that once I had all those successes, I’d be secure in life, and that security was going to make me happy. [....] I also believed life was supposed to be miserable -- because hard work is miserable. Had my parents and immigrant grandparents not worked through their misery, I wouldn’t have the opportunities that I do today. Passing that legacy of misery onto your kids -- that guilt we carry is what makes us work harder. Bucking up and moving forward through that misery without complaining -- this is the Chinese way. Isn’t it?

"If it's merely course credits and exams — without any of the crucial emotional support and experiential learning — we fail."

When a prostitute came to Jesus weeping in Luke 7, he said to her, “Your sins are forgiven… go in peace.” Yet, this same tender Jesus also said to the Pharisees,“Woe to you, you hypocrites! You are like white-washed tombs!” (Mark 23). Why did Jesus console with gentle compassion to one, and the other rebuke with strong words? In the wisdom of Jesus, He knew the state of the woman’s heart was defeated and fragile, and a word of compassion would lift up her soul. His first word to her was not “You are sinful” but “You are forgiven.” And in His infinite, perfect wisdom, He knew the state of the Pharisee’s hearts were blinded by arrogance and a firm word could break them free of their own shackles.

"More than 20 years ago, the psychologist Arthur Aron succeeded in making two strangers fall in love in his laboratory. Last summer, I applied his technique in my own life, which is how I found myself standing on a brdige at midnight, staring into a man's eyes for exactly four minutes."
