This clock is 600 years old, and it still works.
Every hour in Prague, Death rings the bell.
The apostles appear and pass by.
Crowds gather beneath it as gears, saints, planets, and symbols move across one of the most dramatic machines ever built.
Made in 1410, the Prague Astronomical Clock remains the oldest working astronomical clock on Earth.
It tells the time, but that is the least interesting thing it does.
It turns the passing hour into a public reminder that every life is being counted.
Swimming does more for kids than fitness. It changes behavior.
Not because it burns energy. Because it regulates the nervous system.
Water pressure soothes like a full-body hug.
Here is why therapists recommend it... 🧵
The time will never be “just right.” Start where you stand, and work with whatever tools you may have at your command, and better tools will be found as you go along.
Going to leave you with this tonight:
The best thing you can do for yourself is actively increase your surface area for luck to hit you. Go outside, travel more, go to new cates, museums, events, take a new route home, go for hikes, see cities, countrysides, take your notebook, speak to people, ask questions, start businesses - go on more side quests. You can literally just do things, and the more you do, the more serendipity and synchronicity will find you.
I was dead broke and at rock bottom just a few years ago. This year, I became a millionaire.
If there's one thing I've learned, it's that a year or two of relentless focus can completely change the trajectory of your life. Go full monk mode. Tune out the noise. Stop worrying about what everyone else is doing, and become obsessed with your own goals.
Ignore the doubters. Ignore the distractions. Ignore the obstacles that seem impossible to overcome. Bet on yourself, stay disciplined, and keep moving forward no matter what.
Most people vastly underestimate what they can accomplish in a few years of focused effort. Success rarely happens overnight, but if you keep showing up every single day and refuse to quit, you'll eventually look back and realize you've become someone you once only dreamed of being.
This father had never missed any of his son’s baseball games in his life.
He had to miss this tournament because his best friend was getting married and he was a groomsman.
He woke up at 3:30AM and drove
100 MPH that Sunday morning to try to and at least make the Sunday games after missing the
Saturdays games. And, of course this was the only tournament all year that his son’s team lost their first game on Sunday, so he didn't make it in time because the first game was at 8 and there was no second game.
When he pulled up his son saw him and he ran full speed and jumped into his arms and wouldn’t let go. Dad said his son told him, “daddy, you can’t ever miss again. I love you so much. Not having you with me this weekend made me feel so empty, please never miss again, I'm so thankful your my daddy!” 🥹
His wife filmed that video. ❤️
I remember those days well. Speeding like a bat out of hell to make it on time. I have always made my kid’s games and activities. It’s what I live for. And the few times I had to miss, I felt like I let them down.
What a great father he is. That boy is fortunate. 💯
Do you remember this feeling? Trying your hardest to make it to one of their activities and just feeling sad that you couldn’t be there?
A mysterious character known as the "Leatherman" wandered a 365-mile route in the 1800s without any clear reason. His real name, origins, or the purpose of his travels remained unknown, yet he became a beloved local figure.
Dressed in a heavy outfit crafted from old leather boots and ties, weighing over 60 pounds, the Leatherman braved all weather conditions and seasons. He was so punctual in his travels between the Hudson and Connecticut rivers, covering 40 small towns every 34 days, that locals could tell the time by his location. He famously slept in caves, maintaining a strict schedule.
The Leatherman communicated little, only making a few sounds in English or French, but was warmly anticipated in each town he visited. Being visited by him was seen as an honor, and children were eager to offer him food during his stops.
After his death, the Leatherman's grave became a site of interest, leading to its relocation by a historical society to prevent accidents. In 2011, an attempt to uncover his identity through DNA testing failed when it was discovered his remains were gone, deepening the mystery around him.
