I had a good friend, Joe, who got stuck in quicksand.
It was only a few months ago. He was walking through the thick underbrush of rural Australia, a path he’s always taken.
Joe took a wrong step and found himself sink a little. He panicked and doubled down on his first misstep, pushing down even harder into the soggy sand.
Now aware of what had just happened, he realised his first reaction had only plunged him deeper into the sand. It was too late, though. Joe had already made his mind up to push.
The sand met every push with an even greater pull. He was sinking; the sand nearing his chest. Still, he thrashed harder. Somewhere in the panic there was a voice of sense. He knew that pushing wasn’t working, but he couldn’t bring himself to stop. Like a ship avoiding a collision, the later the wheel is turned, the harder that turn becomes.
Desperate, he thrashed harder. The sand began filling his mouth. Pushing was all he had left until it wasn’t. A final pull of the sand ate him up.
What if I told you Joe wasn’t walking in nature, but through a conversation?
我有个好朋友:乔，他陷入了流沙中。
就在几个月前。他正在穿过澳大利亚乡间茂密的灌木丛，这是他经常走的路。
乔走错了一步，发现自己下沉了一点。他惊慌失措，第一次失足时就加倍用力，更用力地往湿漉漉的沙子里推。
现在他意识到刚才发生了什么，他意识到自己的第一反应只是把自己陷进了更深的沙子里。但为时已晚—乔已经下定决心要推了。
每推一次，流沙往下的拉力就越大。他不断下沉;沙子接近他的胸膛。不过，他还在用力拍打沙子。在恐慌中有一种理智的声音。他知道推是没有用的，但他不能让自己停下来。就像轮船避免碰撞，方向盘转得越晚，转弯就越困难。
绝望之下，他拍打沙子得更厉害了。沙子开始塞满他的嘴。他唯一能做的就是用力推挤，直到无法在推，最后沙子把他吞没了。
如果我告诉你乔不是在大自然中行走，而是换个对话的场景呢。

As for the quicksand he was stuck in…
“You look healthy, I love your curves, Anna.”
“Umm, what do you mean?” The woman replied with a slight glare.
“Ohh, just that a little extra bodyweight looks good on you; it looks much healthier than all those skinny girls.” He added, as he could feel the sand rising.
“You mean I’m fat?” She snarled.
“No, well I like curvier woman, it’s more attractive. A little extra weight is good, me and all my friends think so.” He meekly replied.
By this time, you can imagine the sand was nearing his neck.
Life is full of quicksand, and for some a little more than others, but we all face it at some point.
So how do you get out of quicksand?
Act, don’t react.
Our first action is a reaction. Without thinking, we reinforce our original stance. When Joe found himself stuck, he pushed and struggled before he even knew what had happened, only sinking him further.
If Joe had stopped, taken a breath and assessed the situation before reacting, he would be out. He would have realised that his compliment was, in fact, backhanded and offensive.
I’m sorry, Anna. That came out wrong and didn’t sound at all what I meant. I have just noticed over the last few weeks that you’ve been looking great, and I want to know your secret!
But what if you can’t silver tongue your way out of causing offence?
Just say sorry.
That’s it. You’ll be hard pressed to find someone who isn’t persuaded by a sincere apology.
What if you’ve already begun pushing and thrashing, and the sand is rising?
Exactly the same. Stop moving, calmly exit the sand with an apology or acknowledgement of your mistake.
Remember, It’s never too late
恰似他被困在流沙里一样：
“你看起来很健康，我喜欢你的曲线，安娜。”
“嗯，你是什么意思?”那女人回答说，眼睛微微瞪了一下。
“哦，体重增加一点对你来说很不错;它看起来比那些瘦女孩健康多了。”他补充道，因为他能感觉到沙子在上升。
“你是说我胖?”她咆哮着。
“不，我喜欢有曲线的女人，这样更有吸引力。我和我所有的朋友都这么认为。”他谦和地回答。
这时，你可以想象沙子已经接近他的脖子了。
生活中充满了流沙，对某些人来说可能会多一点，但我们都会在某个时刻面对它。
那你要怎么摆脱流沙呢?
反击还是冷静。
我们的第一个行动是回击。我们不假思索地强化了原来的立场。就如当乔发现自己被陷入流沙时，他甚至还不知道发生了什么，就推了下去，挣扎着，这只会导致进一步下沉。
如果乔停下来，吸一口气，在做出反应之前评估一下情况，他就会跳出来。他会意识到他的恭维实际上是反讽和无礼的。
对不起,安娜。这话说错了，听起来完全不是我的本意。我只是注意到在过去的几周里你看起来很棒，我想知道你的秘密!
但如果你不能用流利的语言来避免让对方感觉被冒犯呢?
只是说对不起就好。
就是这样，你很难找到一个不被真诚的道歉说服的人。
如果你已经开始推挤，沙子正在升起呢?
完全相同的方式。停止移动，冷静地退出沙子，道歉或承认你的错误。
记住，（停下来）永远不会太迟。

Many still don't know or don't want to know that Hindi is not a national language of India. Even in School it is taught that Hindi as national language which is false.
There is no national language in India ,only official language.India has 23 constitutionally recognized official languages. Hindi and English are the official languages used by the Central Government. State governments use respective official language of their region.
Everyone has their own right to learn any language they wish but it is never right to impose it on others.
许多人仍然不知道或不想知道印地语不是印度的国语。甚至在学校里也被教育说印地语是国家语言，这是错误的。
印度没有国语，只有官方语言。印度有23种宪法认可的官方语言。印地语和英语是中央政府使用的官方语言。州政府使用各自地区的官方语言。
每个人都有学习自己想学的语言的权利，但把语言强加于人是不对的。

There are some interesting facts about the Indian constitution. Everyone knows that the Indian constitution is the biggest written constitution in the world. Many of its provisions have been adopted(modified) from the constitutions of other countries. But the interesting things to note are:
Though the method of election of the President was adopted from the Irish Constitution, the method of his impeachment is from the American Constitution.
The Indian constitution is neither rigid nor flexible. It is a mixture of British and Americans, just like our governmental system which is Parliamentary like the Britishers and has a President like the Americans.
The Fundamental Rights have been taken from the American Constitution but they(with some exceptions) can be suspended during an emergency, a provision taken from the Weimar Constitution of Germany(US rival in WW2).
The ideal of justice in the Preamble is taken from the Soviet Constitution where as liberty, equality and fraternity have been taken from the French Constitution. France and the Soviet unx were on the same side in both the World War.
The procedure to amend the constitution is taken from the South African Constitution which is also the most flexible constitution.
Though the system of bicameralism( 2 parliamentary houses) was from the British Constitution, the provision for the nomination of Rajya Sabha members is from the Irish constitution and their election provision is from the South African(colonized by Britishers) constitution. And, the provision for a joint sitting of the two houses is from the Australian constitution.
Our Federal system is similar to the Canadian system
The Indian constitution is an example of experience and patience.
Experience because it has provisons from all the those countries which went through the toughest conditions to get Independence and it has provisons from their colonizers as well.
Patience because it took almost 3 years to draft the constitution. About 60 constitutions were referred to by the drafting committee. The total expenditure incurred was Rs 64 lakh.
关于印度宪法，有一些有趣的事实。众所周知，印度宪法是世界上内容最多的成文宪法。它的许多规定是从其他国家的宪法中采纳（修改）的。但值得注意的是：
虽然总统的选举方法是从爱尔兰宪法中采用的，但弹劾他的方法是从美国宪法中采用的。
印度宪法既不僵硬也不灵活。它是英国人和美国人的宪法混合体，就像我们的政府体系一样，它是像英国人一样采用议会制，像美国人一样有一位总统。
基本权利取自美国宪法，但在紧急情况下（除某些例外情况外）可以暂停，这一条款取自德国魏玛宪法（二战中的美国对手）。
序言中的正义理念取自苏联宪法，而自由、平等和博爱则取自法国宪法。法国和苏联在两次世界大战中都站在同一边。
修改宪法的程序取自南非宪法，南非宪法也是最灵活的宪法。
尽管两院制（2个议会）制度源自英国宪法，但议员提名的规定源自爱尔兰宪法，其选举规定源自南非（被英国人殖民）宪法。而且，两院联席会议的规定来自澳大利亚宪法。
我们的联邦制与加拿大制相似。
印度宪法是经验和耐心的典范。
经验，因为它有来自经历了最艰难条件以获得独立的所有国家的条款，也有来自他们的殖民者的条款。
耐心，因为起草宪法花了将近3年的时间，起草委员会参考了大约60部宪法。支出总额为6400万卢比。

你可能会注意到这些树种植在路边、公园、学校、大学、政府办公室、医院等公共场所的围墙附近。
你知道它为什么种在这种地方吗?
因为它对减少噪音污染非常有效。
交通噪音是最常见的，如果你生活或工作在城市和农村地区。种这种树可以减少噪音。
很少有人问我如何以及为什么这样可以减少噪音。原因如下
当声波碰到一种柔软的材料，比如植物，这种材料就会振动，声波就会转化为其他形式的能量，并被反射到其他方向。

Himanshu Bengani, A drop in the pool of answers
Well. I don’t know whether it will justify the question or not but I think we must have a look at these examples:
Friend 1 - Bro, can you lend me RS. 5000
Friend 2 - I will try to arrange, 99% I am sure - I’ll lend you.
Client - Until when you will get it done?
Lawyer - 99% are the chances that I will finish it off in a month.
Customer - My ticket will get confirmed, right?
Travel agent - 99% , it will get confirm.
The final cut is - these “99% assured things” never work!
And this is what most people don’t know
我不知道这是否能证明这个问题，但我认为我们必须看看这些例子：
1号朋友：兄弟，你能借我5000卢比吗？
2号朋友：我会尽量安排，我99%的把握会安排给你。
客户：你什么时候能完成?
律师：我有99%的机会在一个月内完成它。
顾客:我的机票会被确认的，对吗?
旅行社：99%的把握会得到确认。
最后的结论是——这些“99%保证的东西”永远都不会起作用!
这是大多数人不知道的。

嗯，我不知道是不是很罕见，但是人们总是说很难继续前进，但我不相信。
人们说，一旦你面临一些障碍，你就会抑郁或其他什么，但我认为，如果你克服了这些障碍，你最终会好起来，也许不是完美的，但还OK。
人们说，你不能去争斗，除非你得到什么，但我不相信。
我坚信一个人应该相信自己，相信宇宙，一切都会好起来的，即使找不到办法，也总会有出路的。

人们说，一旦你面临一些障碍，你就会抑郁或其他什么，但我认为，如果你克服了这些障碍，你最终会好起来，也许不是完美的，但还OK。
人们说，你不能去争斗，除非你得到什么，但我不相信。
我坚信一个人应该相信自己，相信宇宙，一切都会好起来的，即使找不到办法，也总会有出路的。

Interpretations of this question:
What have I come to realise sooner than others?
What is one of your secrets?
Something you realised sooner than others?
The bread-and-butter definition of a ‘secret’
What have I come to realise sooner than others? (In my opinion)
Everyone has a reason for the way they are and the way they act; reform/rehab/giving the benefit-of-the-doubt is more important than being right or having someone ‘face the music’.
In other words, putting out the source of a fire should take precedence over putting out little fires that pop up.
Sonder is a word coined by John Koenig in his Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows that means,
The realisation that each passerby has a life as vivid and complex as your own.
Everyone has different stories to share, experiences to re-live, and people they like and want to forget. However, we all have the same beginning, even if it’s for a very brief period: We all start off the same way.
Destiny, fate, and purpose aside, every single person to ever have been born was a clean slate. Neither bad nor good. Nothing to our names (debatable, I know).
The things that give our lives meaning and govern our decisions are, in-exclusively but generally, the people we meet, things we possess, and experiences we face.
Did I go off on a tangent? Probably.
对这个问题的解释:
有什么是我比别人更早意识到的?
你的秘诀是什么?
你比别人更早意识到的事情?
在我看来，“秘密”的基本定义是有什么是我比别人更早意识到的?
每个人的所作所为都有自己的理由;改革/康复/接受怀疑比坚持正确或让某人“面对现实”更重要。
换句话说，扑灭火源应该优先于扑灭突然冒出来的小火。
Sonder是约翰·柯尼格在他的《隐忧词典》中创造的一个词，意思是，
认识到每一个过路人都有一个和你一样生动复杂的生活。
每个人都有不同的故事要分享，不同的经历要重新体验，还有他们喜欢和想要忘记的人。然而，我们都有一个相同的开始，即使它是很短的一段时间:我们都以同样的方式开始。
除了天意，命运和目的，每个出生的人都是一张白纸。既不好也不坏，其结果与我们的名字无关（我知道这是有争议的）。
赋予我们生命意义和支配我们决定的东西，是我们所遇到的人，我们所拥有的东西和我们所面对的经历。
我是不是跑题了?可能吧。

Human beings are simultaneously the best and the worst.
How we are the best:
We are intelligent and capable of amazing feats.
Relatively speaking, we have a greater power for choice than any other life-form.
How we are the worst:
There is a point in our existence where it will be made evident that we are the reason for our own extinction.
We want more. More speed. More comfort. More ease. Everything we do is somehow related to our need for ease and satisfaction. Everything must be made easier for us, and if that drive is strong enough, we will do it by any means necessary.
All people have intrinsic good within themselves, given some context. We all deserve a chance, but need to be held in check. By whom? By what? What governs our morals?
I focus on the worst part about being human because that’s what needs to change. There is no such thing as ‘too much good’; however, even the very definitions of ‘good’ and ‘bad’ depend on who you ask. Who determines what is ‘good’ or ‘bad’?
Are those definitions withing the reference frx of humans alone? What about the environment we live in, and those upon which we have a considerable effect?
人类是最好的，也是最坏的。
我们如何做到最好:
我们很聪明，有能力做出惊人的壮举。
相对而言，我们比其他任何生物都有更大的选择能力。
我们怎么是最坏的:
在我们过往经历中，有一点是显而易见的，那就是我们是导致自己将来灭绝的原因。
我们不断索取：更快的速度；更多的安慰；更轻松；我们所做的一切都与我们对安逸和满足的需求有关。对我们来说，每件事都必须变得更容易，如果这种动力足够强大，我们会用任何必要的手段去做
在一定的背景下，所有人都有内在的善。我们都应该有机会，但需要控制。由谁来控制?通过什么控制?是什么支配着我们的道德?
我把重点放在作为人类最糟糕的部分，因为这是需要改变的。没有所谓的更好;然而，即使是“好”和“坏”的定义也取决于你问的是谁。谁来决定什么是“好”或“坏”?
这些定义是否仅以人类为参照系?那么，我们生活的环境，以及我们对其有重大影响的环境又如何呢?

Thinking is HARD. It takes energy—something that depends on our mood, health, and the people around us among others things.
So, we create brains that can think billions of times faster than our limits allow us, and algorithms and inventions that make thinking less…necessary.
The balance of reliance is shifting from ‘brain’ to ‘technology’. I’d say we are becoming stupider in an effort to become smarter. If that’s not a catch-22, I don’t know what is.
[I deliberately find puzzles for myself to do. I have to maintain this brain.]
Alright. Does this answer answer the question? I dunno. Am I tired and hungry? I dunno. Do I need a cigarette? I dunno.
思考是困难的。它需要能量—这取决于我们的情绪、健康和周围的人等等。
所以，我们创造了思维速度比极限快数十亿倍的大脑，算法和发明让思考变得不那么必要。
依赖的天平正从“大脑”转向“技术”。我想说的是，我们为了变得更聪明反而变得更愚蠢。如果这还不算进退两难，我不知道什么才是。
我故意找难题让自己去做。我必须训练这个大脑。
这回答了问题吗?我不晓得。我是不是又累又饿?我不晓得。我需要抽烟吗?我不晓得。

Lapis Lazuli, Your Veracious Friend
Most people don't know that Makeup is made up of Animal Meat and Fat. Yes, you heard it right!
I came to know about this when I had video called my grandparents when they were buying meat in the market.
The butcher had collected a massive pile of fat in a corner. My eye caught that pile and I asked them why the fat is collected separately.
The butcher then told us that the collected pile of animal fats are specially for the cosmetic company ‘Mango’ which they are further going to use it for making makeup products.
He also told us that the company’s car regularly come to collect that pile. So the butcher ultimately gets paid for selling the Animal fats to cosmetic companies.
This thing is shocking for those of you who are Vegans.
After Researching more, I found out that not only the Fat portion but also animal urine, crushed insects, crushed bones, hooves, feathers etc. are being used.
Even Whale vomit is rare and it’s used in making expensive perfumes.
Not only makeups but your fake eyelashes, shampoos, shaving soaps, moisturizers and skin care products are all made from bodily excretion and parts of different birds and animals.
There’s another fact that the lipstick used by Cleopatra was made by crushing carmine beetles and ants to obtain a rich red color.
So don’t get freaked out the next time you apply makeup!
It’s just organic chemistry LOL
大多数人不知道化妆品是由动物肉和脂肪组成的。是的，你听对了！
当我的祖父母在市场上买肉的时候，我给他们打了个视频电话，我就知道了这件事。
屠夫在一个角落里收集了一大堆脂肪。我的眼睛看到了那堆脂肪，我问他们为什么要分开收集脂肪。
屠夫接着告诉我们，收集到的一堆动物脂肪是专门为化妆品公司‘Mango’准备的，他们还打算用来制作化妆品。
他还告诉我们，公司的车定期来收那堆东西。所以屠夫最终会因为把动物脂肪卖给化妆品公司而得到报酬。
这件事让你们这些素食主义者感到震惊。
经过进一步研究，我发现不仅脂肪部分，还有动物尿、碾碎的昆虫、碾碎的骨头、蹄子、羽毛等都被使用。
即使鲸鱼的呕吐物是很少见，但是它被用来制作昂贵的香水。
不仅是化妆品，你的假睫毛、洗发水、剃须皂、保湿霜和护肤产品都是由身体排泄物和不同鸟类和动物的某部位制成的。
还有一个事实是，克利奥帕特拉所用的口红是通过碾碎胭脂甲虫和蚂蚁来获得一种浓郁的红色。
所以下次化妆的时候不要被吓到!
这只是有机化学，哈哈

“most people” is a very broad term but here it goes. The observable universe has a diameter of about 28 billion light years (many thinks it’s about 14 billion light years across, yet it’s only the radius). Also, the actual universe is much bigger for two reasons: 1, the universe is (allegedly) expanding in every directions, this includes areas that are not included in the visible universe due to time constraints 2) the unceartainty factor associated with the rate of expansion over time.
The Germans did not start civilian city-bombing. The Brits did. Hence the German naming for their V-1 and V-2 weapons “Vengeance”.
Aliens do exist and are here. I know that for a fact.
“大多数人”是一个非常宽泛的术语，但这里有它。可观测宇宙的直径约为280亿光年（许多人认为它的直径约为140亿光年，但它只是半径）。此外，实际宇宙更大有两个原因：1、宇宙（据称）向各个方向膨胀，这包括由于时间限制而不包括在可见宇宙中的区域。2、不确定性因素是时间不同，膨胀的速率不同。
德国人没有轰炸平民城市，而英国人做到了。因此，德国人将他们的V-1和V-2武器命名为“复仇”。
外星人确实存在并且在这里。我知道这是事实。

NASA has falsified images and motion pictures associated with space activities. I don’t know why. Maybe to hide alien presence. I really don’t know the reason only the fact.
Electron shells around the atomic nucleus switch energy-level immediately. That is, there is no time delay at all. It takes zero time for electron energy level to switch.
The Germans developed an antipodal bomber, even though it was decades from completion. That is, a bomber that could strike on the other side of the Earth and return.
Hitler forced the French to sign the surrender in the same railway car used after the Great War to humiliate them. He had, for this very purpose, the particular car moved into place.
美国宇航局伪造了与空间活动有关的图像和电影。我不知道为什么。也许是为了隐藏外星人的存在。我真的不知道原因，只知道事实。
原子核周围的电子壳层立即改变能级。也就是说，根本没有时间延迟。电子能级转换需要的时间为零。
德国人研制出了一种对跖轰炸机，尽管它距离完成还有几十年的时间。也就是说，一架轰炸机可以袭击地球的另一边，然后返回。
