Bagua Feng Shui: Everyday Practical Guide (3)
According to Feng Shui theory, the front door of a building is regarded as the main entrance of Qi and is considered the most important part of the structure. Many classical Feng Shui texts emphasize this point, describing the front door as “the key element that determines the fortune or misfortune of a household,” or “the entrance of Qi for the dwelling, just like the human mouth through which we breathe.” Building on this idea, Feng Shui also views a residence as a living body, with the front door functioning as its “mouth,” through which it breathes.

How to Avoid the Knowledge Pit: Why Learning Without Action Holds You Back
Introduction: When Knowledge Turns Into a Trap We live in a time when information is everywhere. From podcasts to YouTube tutorials, from LinkedIn webinars to TikTok snippets, there has never been an easier way to learn something new. But here’s a surprising truth: knowledge on its own isn’t power—it’s potential power. If you don’t apply what you learn, you risk falling into what I call the Knowledge Pit: a place where you consume ideas endlessly, but never climb high enough to use them.

The Eagle Who Refused the Sea
The Eagle Who Flew for Twenty Years, Yet Never Crossed the Sea Flight has always been a symbol of freedom for humanity. Whenever we see a bird spread its wings across the vast sky, our hearts whisper: if only we too could escape the weight of the earth and soar beyond the clouds. Among birds, none captures the imagination like the eagle — strong, daring, and fearless. Yet, a startling truth surprised scientists: an eagle that lived nearly twenty years, traveled thousands of kilometers, but never once crossed the sea.

The Day the Library Opened
M Mehran In the small town of Maplewood, the most ordinary building became the most extraordinary gift: a library. It wasn’t big. Just a renovated post office with peeling paint and mismatched chairs. But the day it opened, children pressed their noses against the glass doors, parents peeked in with quiet curiosity, and teachers whispered with relief. For years, Maplewood had survived without one. Now, they finally had a place where education lived beyond the classroom.

Charlie Kirk and the danger of selective empathy
Conservative political activist Charlie Kirk was shot and killed on Wednesday. His suspected killer, identified by law enforcement as 22-year-old Tyler Robinson, was taken into custody after a substantial manhunt, based on information from people close to Robinson’s family. Utah Governor Spencer Cox said a family member of Robinson had reached out to a friend, who then contacted the authorities, and that friends and relatives interviewed by investigators described Robinson as “full of hate” when speaking about Kirk at a recent gathering. Robinson’s exact motivations for allegedly carrying out the shooting are still being explored.

How to Make Money Renting Out Your Stuff.
