PHILOSOPHY OF SALMON FISH AND SMALL SHARKS For Japanese cuisine, we know that salmon will be more delicious to enjoy if the fish is still alive when it is prepared to be served. It is much more delicious than salmon that has been preserved in ice. That's why fishermen always put the salmon they catch into an artificial pond so that on the way to land the salmon stay alive. However, in reality many salmon die in the artificial pond. How do they get around this? The fishermen put a small shark in the pond. Wonderful! These small sharks 'force' the salmon to keep moving because they don't want to be preyed upon. As a result, the number of salmon that die becomes very small! Silence makes us die! Moving makes us live. Perhaps that is more or less the moral message that we can get from the picture above. What makes us silent? When there are no problems in life and when we are in the comfort zone. Situations like this often make us complacent. So complacent that we do not realize that we have died. Ironic, isn't it? What makes us move? Life's problems, struggles and stresses. When problems arise, our instincts automatically make us act actively and try to overcome all life's struggles. At times like that, we usually remember God and hope in God. Not only that, we become creative, and our potential develops extraordinary! Remember that we will be able to learn a lot in this life not when things are comfortable, but precisely when we face the storms of life That's why be grateful for the 'little sharks' who continue to force us to move and survive! Life's problems are good, because they are what keep us moving…and being resilient. #keepmovingforward

EAT HUMBLE PIE Meaning To become very humble in behaviour when someone points out a wrong doing by the person. To admit an error and become submissive and apologetic in doing so. When someone enforces an apology after a wrong has been committed. Example Sentences I know for certain that the appliance should not be handled this way but if I turn out to be wrong then I’ll eat humble pie. One may often think that they are smarter than the others but such people always end up eating humble pie. The lawyer had to eat humble pie in the court because the facts he presented were wrong. Origin In the United Kingdom, what is known as offal meat which is the liver, heart, entrails of an animal was known as numbles in the early 14th century. Speculation is that the pies made from numbles eventually be came to know umbles through metanalysis (the process of change in the sound and the use of a word in the English language). Since 1330 the mention of numble or umble pies is common. Samuel Pepys used it in his diary at least on two occasions. The word humble as an adjective means to have a low self-esteem. So the word play could have been to eat umble pie when feeling humble, which is a likely possibility of being the origin of the phrase.

Are you like salt or an insult? Salt doesn't need to look like other ingredients or smell like other seasonings, but without it, the soup is tasteless. People of true impact don't fight for visibility or appearance; their results speak for themselves. You don’t need to shout to be heard; people quiet down to listen to those with something meaningful to say. Salt keeps its quality even in polluted environments and is always trusted for its integrity. Is your life-enriching like salt, or does it diminish like an insult? The easiest way for salt to lose its value is by mixing too much with anything else. Be mindful of your company and stay true to noble values. Salt is valuable and should be treated as such. Stay pure. Maintain your dignity. If we could exchange our problems with others, you might find yourself quickly taking yours back. Life isn't perfect, and everyone has their own set of challenges. Don’t envy others; you don’t know the sacrifices they have made. While you might wish for someone else's life, someone else might be hoping for yours. Be content and value what you have. You can be anything you want, just don't be ungrateful. #LifeLessons #Gratitude #PersonalGrowth #StayTrue #Contentment #Value

To the person reading (and writing) this, be okay with walking away from things, people, and spaces that no longer serve you/you no longer are of service to. Please do not evaluate your decision to leave/separate based on toxicity. Something/someone can be great, safe, well put together, etc. and still not be for you. Being toxic doesn't always have to be the catalyst to seek more. Things can be great AND God can still have greater for you. A resturant doesn't have to have roaches for you to change your mind about eating there. 😂 It's ok to say "you know, I've eaten here often, and while the food is still great, it's not satisfying me any longer. I think it's time to try a new resturant." 🫶🏾Here's my NOW (nugget of wisdom) Don't wait for the roaches to transition. 🤪 It's ok to move on from something if it isn't toxic. The lack of danger, chaos, or conflict should not force you into a mindset of permanacy. We have been conditioned to accept and stay in the bare minimum. The enemy will sometimes tell you to be grateful in your present as a way to divert you from going after God's purpose. Remember, you deserve to be in spaces that are holistically right in as many ways as possible. ----------------------- 🤓🤓🤎🤎💪🏾💪🏾---------------------

8️⃣ of 52: Wednesday Wisdom | The coffee bean: A simple lesson to create positive change Jon Gordon and Damon West. Are you a carrot🥕, egg 🥚, or a coffee bean ☕? Life gets challenging for the best of us. 〰 It's usually a matter of time. Some of us face trials early in our life, others don't face them until much later. Think of it as a pot of boiling water. 〰 These are your life's challenges. Hot, messy, unbearable. An environment that is hostile in the moment and can either make or break you. 🥕 Put a carrot in and it becomes mushy, soft, and disintegrates. 〰 Its environment tears it apart and leaves it unrecognizable from its original state of being. 🥚 Put an egg in and it hardens and breaks itself up. 〰 The boiling water, its environment changes it completely. Again, leaving a hollow version of its former gooey interior. ☕ Put a coffee bean in, and it turns the water dark and aromatic. 〰 Its best qualities transfer over to the boiling water making it more useful. Completely changing its environment without changing itself. 🥚 🥕 Are you a carrot or an egg? Will you let your authentic self believe that the outside world can change to its own will negatively. ☕ Or will you strive to be a coffee bean? Will you strive to positively change the world around it with your best qualities. So are you a carrot, egg, or a coffee bean? #wednesdaywisdom #lifeworkdoodles

"It's not about the sandwich, it's about how much we care." - Carmy (The Bear) As fans of FX's The Bear know (new season 6/27!), food has an incredible power to nourish souls and forge connections. While Carmy and crew sweat ceaselessly to revive the family sandwich shop, we're reminded that cooking with passion is a love language. This weekend, treat yourself to an inspiring "Culinary Odyssey" that will help you bring fresh energy and intentionality to your work life next week. Visit a vibrant grocery market and select some new-to-you produce or ingredient. Maybe it's an exotic fruit like cherimoya or an ancestral grain like farro. For your "weekend homework," research the history and culture surrounding your mystery item. Where did it originate? What traditional dishes or preparations showcase its flavors? If you're feeling ambitious, experiment with a new recipe! Immersing yourself in this exploration will activate your curiosity, open you up to diverse perspectives, and spark thoughtful reflections you can channel back into your professional life. Much like The Bear's Carmy striving to honor his heritage while making the kitchen his own, discovering new ingredients expands your horizons. And echoing cousin Richie's hard-won resilience, cooking requires grit to master unfamiliar techniques. Embrace the learning curve! #WeekendVibes #FridayFeeling #RemixYourRoutine #TheBearFX #FoodForThought
