Japanese actor Hiroyuki Sanada spoke about the contradictions of human nature:

“Some people dream of having a swimming pool at home, while those who have one hardly ever use it. Those who have lost a loved one feel a profound sense of loss, while others often complain about their living relatives. Those without a partner long for one, while those who have one often don't appreciate it. The hungry would give anything for a meal, while the satiated complain about the taste of their food. Those without a car dream of owning one, while those who have a car are always looking for a better one.”

The key to happiness is gratitude: truly seeing and appreciating what we already have, and understanding that somewhere, someone would give anything for what we take for granted.

Most Americans have never heard of this war. That is not an accident. It is a choice — and it is a choice that erased the story of over 200,000 Filipino lives.

In 1898, Spain lost the Spanish-American War and signed the Treaty of Paris. Without a single Filipino in the room, the United States paid Spain $20 million and took the Philippines as a territory — as if the islands were an empty piece of real estate and not a nation of people who had just spent years fighting for their own independence. Emilio Aguinaldo and the Filipino revolutionaries had believed America was an ally. They had fought alongside American forces against Spain. They had already declared Philippine independence on June 12, 1898. And then they watched as America decided that independence was not theirs to keep. On February 4, 1899, the first shots of the Philippine-American War were fired — and what followed was one of the most brutal and deliberately forgotten conflicts in the history of the Pacific.

The war lasted officially until 1902, but resistance continued for years beyond that. Conservative estimates place Filipino deaths — civilian and military combined — at over 200,000. Some historians put the number closer to one million when famine and disease caused by the war are counted. American troops used waterboarding, burned villages, and forced civilians into concentration camps — tactics that would not be acknowledged or discussed in American classrooms for a century. The Philippines did not gain full independence until 1946. This is not ancient history. It is living memory.

The Philippine-American War is so absent from American history textbooks that a 2022 survey found the majority of American adults had never heard of it — despite the fact that it resulted in more American military casualties than the Spanish-American War that directly preceded it. Tag someone who needs to know this history today.

刚看了一段伯克利工程学院的毕业典礼演讲，是今年看过最打动人的一段视频

演讲者收到伯克利博士录取通知的时候，96岁的奶奶跟她说："我很为你骄傲，但我不想让你走。因为我不知道我还能不能再等五年，看到你博士毕业。"

她说从那一刻开始，她一直在想一个问题：一个PhD的重量到底是什么？

不只是论文和答辩。是导师的指导，是实验室里无数个孤独的夜晚，是家人替你承担的那些你看不到的代价

她的奶奶成长在动荡年代，连小学都没读完。但今天她坐在台下，看着孙女成为博士

演讲里有一段话我反复听了几遍：工程是人类最古老的职业之一，从石器到蒸汽机到今天的AI。我们有建造和定义时代的力量，但每个系统背后都是真实的人生，每个决定都有重量

现在AI这么热，大家都在聊模型多强、效率多高。但偶尔需要有人提醒一下：技术最终是服务于人的，不是反过来

她最后说，她设计传感器的时候，总会想象奶奶生活在这个技术世界里

At 17, Dawn Loggins came home from a summer program and discovered her family was gone.

No note.

No warning.

No home.

Months later, she received an acceptance letter from Harvard.

This is her story.

Dawn grew up in rural North Carolina in a house without electricity or running water.

When the family needed water, she and her brother walked to a public park and filled jugs from the bathroom faucets.

Showers were rare.

Classmates called her dirty.

She kept showing up to school.

Her parents moved constantly.

Eviction after eviction.

New town.

New school.

By age 17, Dawn had attended four different high schools and missed nearly an entire year of education.

Most students would have fallen behind.

Dawn excelled.

When she arrived at Burns High School in 2010, guidance counselor Robyn Putnam immediately saw something special.

Dawn enrolled in makeup courses.

Studied before sunset because there were no lights at home.

Took AP classes.

Earned straight A's.

Joined clubs.

Then led them.

Photography Club.

Rock Climbing Club.

Spanish Club.

President of all three.

That summer she earned a place at the prestigious Governor's School of North Carolina.

Teachers helped buy her clothes.

Putnam drove her 200 miles to the program.

Nobody knew where Dawn would be living when it ended.

The concern turned out to be justified.

Near the end of the program, Dawn tried calling home.

The number was disconnected.

When she returned, the house was empty.

Her parents had moved away.

She was 17 years old.

Homeless.

Alone.

Most people would have stopped there.

Dawn didn't.

She couch-surfed.

Carried toiletries in her backpack because she never knew where her next shower would come from.

And every morning at 6 a.m., she went to work.

As a school custodian.

She swept hallways.

Cleaned classrooms.

Scrubbed desks.

Then sat down and earned straight A's.

By graduation year, she had:
• Straight A grades
• AP courses
• Leadership roles in three clubs
• A part-time job before school every morning

Then a teacher made one suggestion:

Apply to Harvard.

Dawn laughed.

Then thought:

"Why not?"

She became the first student in Burns High School history to apply.

Months later, an envelope arrived.

Harvard College.

Accepted.

Full tuition.

Full room and board.

Everything covered.

On graduation day in 2012, when her name was announced, the entire gymnasium stood and applauded.

Teachers cried.

Students cheered.

The girl who cleaned their hallways before sunrise was heading to Harvard.

When asked about her parents, Dawn didn't speak with anger.

She simply said:

"I love my parents. I disagree with the choices they've made."

Then she added something even more powerful:

"If I had not had those experiences, I wouldn't be such a strong-willed or determined person."

Burns High School had over 1,000 students.

Dawn Loggins became the first ever accepted to Harvard.

Proof that the circumstances you're born into are not the same thing as the future you're capable of building.

[وليم شكسبير @WimShakespeare]

لم يكن أحد يعرف من هي. صعدت إلى المسرح… ثم حدث ما لم يكن متوقعًا.

بدأت ترقص، لكن كان هناك شيء غير طبيعي… لم تكن مجرد معجبة عادية.
وعندما تدرك حقيقتها… يكون الأوان قد فات!

في أي لحظة فهمت من تكون؟

A man spends 50 years teaching at MIT.

He knows his time is running out.

So he records one last lecture — everything he knows, distilled into a single hour.

He died 5 months later.

This is that lecture.

The most important hour you'll watch this week. 👇
