3 Amazing Things Invented by Kids

Braille👩‍🦯
Louis Braille suffered a serious impairment(нарушение) when he was just 3 years old. Braille was 12 when he learned of a method of silent communication originally created for the French military. He simplified it, and in 1824 the braille writing system was born.

Superman🥷
As a teen, Jerry Siegel was having a hard time sleeping one hot summer night in 1934. Restless, his mind turned to his favorite science fiction stories—and as he looked outside at the moon, he got an inspiration(вдохновение) of his own. Siegel jotted them down, and in the morning, ran to visit his artist friend Joe Shuster, who made some sketches. .

Christmas Lights🔥
Before electric lights were invented, many people decorated Christmas trees with actual candles(свечи). But by 1917, people were more accustomed(привыкшие) to electricity and 15-year-old Albert Sadacca was ready to capitalize on their trust.

10 paradoxes
#intermediate, #life

The more you hate a trait(черта) in someone else, the more likely you are avoiding(избегание) it in yourself. Carl Jung believed that characteristics in others that bother us are reflections of the parts of ourselves that we deny. Freud referred to it as “projection.” Most people call it “being an asshole.”

People who can’t trust, can’t be trusted. People who are chronically insecure (неуверенны) in their relationships are more likely to sabotage them. Call it the Good Will Hunting syndrome, but one way people protect themselves from getting hurt is by hurting others first.

#quotes 😂
“Sometimes I feel so sick(чувствовать плохо) at the state of the world I can’t even finish my second apple pie.” —Banksy, Wall and Peace
“Some cause(вызывать, являться причиной) happiness wherever(куда бы) they go; others, whenever(когда бы) they go.” —Oscar Wilde, The Duchess of Padua
“I am not young enough to know everything.” —J.M. Barrie
“When one door closes, another opens. Or you can open the closed door. That’s how doors work.”
“A positive attitude(отношение) may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy(раздражать) enough people to make it worth the effort(стоит усилий).”
“Everyone has the right to be stupid, but you’re abusing(злоупотреблять) the privilege.”
“Please be patient(терпеливый). I am ruining things as fast as I can.”

#history #food #world
How did hot dogs get their name when there are (thankfully) no dogs involved? Some believe the name began as a joke: Hot dogs were a cheap, affordable (доступный) meal popular with the working class (рабочий класс), and with few people knowing how hot dogs are made, the implication (подразумевалось) was that dog meat was used to keep them cheap.

A more likely explanation is that the German butchers (мясники) behind early American frankfurters (франкфуртские сосиски) noted the resemblance (сходство) between their slender sausages and dachshunds (такса). They nicknamed their delicious creation “dachshund sausages,” and over time, the name gradually morphed into (постепенно превратилось в) the shorter, snazzier (более стильное) “hot dogs.”

#things people do around the world to slow down

Fika

The Swedish word fika translates as “coffee and cake break,” yet it means so much more than that. Fika is a mindset: slowing down, being present, savoring the moment(наслаждаясь моментом).
Forget slurping a latte(хлебая латте) while walking down the street and using your phone. When you fika, you put away the screens and sit down somewhere cozy(уютно). You sip your coffee (or your drink of choice). You nibble on a delicious cake or cookie. And you enjoy a proper chat(поболтать как следует) with someone.
