Be not angry that you cannot make others as you wish them to be, since you cannot make yourself as you wish to be. ~Thomas à Kempis, Imitation of Christ, c.1420
destroy this new idea that a woman can’t be strong if she cries over a man she’s lost. destroy the idea that you have to be cold and emotionally detached in order to be a strong woman
Ever wondered how to read faster. Here is a solution that will allow you to read 1000 words per minute. Spritz, a Boston based start-up, is developing a technology that would enable you to read up to 1000 words per minutes. Spritz’s mission is to change the way people read and make communication faster, easier, and more effective.
With Spritz, which is coming to the Samsung Galaxy S5 and Samsung Gear 2 watch, words appear one at a time in rapid succession. This allows you to read at speeds of between 250 and 1,000 words per minute. The typical college-level reader reads at a pace of between 200 and 400 a minute.
What Spritz does is manipulate the format of the words to more appropriately line them up with the eye’s natural motion of reading. The “Optimal Recognition Point” (ORP) is slightly left of the center of each word, and is the precise point at which our brain deciphers each jumble of letters. The unique aspect of Spritz is that it identifies the ORP of each word, makes that letter red and presents all of the ORPs at the same space on the screen. In this way, our eyes don’t move at all as we see the words, and we can therefore process information instantaneously rather than spend time decoding each word.

you must always have faith in others, and more importantly, you must always have faith in yourself

I once had to judge a tighty-whitey contest for Lambda Kappa Pi. Trust me, I can handle anything.
Virgo:
I need a boyfriend who's not such a complete bonehead.
Libra:
It's impossible to use a half-loop stitching on low-viscosity rayon. It would snag the fabric. And you didn't just get it in - I saw it in the June Vogue a year ago. So if you're trying to sell it to me for full price, you've picked the wrong girl.
Scorpio:
I'd pick the dangerous one because I'm not afraid of a challenge.
Sagittarius:
[man whistles] I object!
Capricorn:
the rules of hair care are simple and finite. Any Cosmo girl would've known.
Aquarius:
oh, I like your outfit too, except when I dress up as a frigid bitch I try not to look so constipated.
Pisces:
Oh Warner, do you remember when we spent those four amazing hours in the hot tub together after winter formal? Well this is so much better than that, excuse me I have some shopping to do.
