We spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get to angry too quickly, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too often, and pray too seldom
بدون ملاحظه ایام را میگذرانیم، خیلی کم میخندیم، خیلی تند رانندگی میکنیم، خیلی زود عصبانی میشویم، تا دیروقت بیدار میمانیم، خیلی خسته از خواب برمیخیزیم، خیلی کم مطالعه میکنیم، اغلب اوقات تلویزیون نگاه میکنیم و خیلی بندرت دعا میکنیم
We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values
We talk too much, love too little and lie too often
چندین برابر مایملک داریم اما ارزشهایمان کمتر شده است.
خیلی زیاد صحبت میکنیم، به اندازه کافی دوست نمیداریم و خیلی زیاد دروغ میگوییم

I n a series of letters, Robert Walton, the captain of a ship bound for the North Pole, recounts to his sister back in England the progress of his dangerous mission. Successful early on, the mission is soon interrupted by seas full of impassable ice. Trapped, Walton encounters Victor Frankenstein, who has been traveling by dog-drawn sledge across the ice and is weakened by the cold. Walton takes him aboard ship, helps nurse him back to health, and hears the fantastic tale of the monster that Frankenstein created.
Victor first describes his early life in Geneva. At the end of a blissful childhood spent in the company of Elizabeth Lavenza (his cousin in the 1818 edition, his adopted sister in the 1831 edition) and friend Henry Clerval, Victor enters the university of Ingolstadt to study natural philosophy and chemistry. There, he is consumed by the desire to discover the secret of life and, after several years of research, becomes convinced that he has found it.
Armed with the knowledge he has long been seeking, Victor spends months feverishly fashioning a creature out of old body parts. One climactic night, in the secrecy of his apartment, he brings his creation to life. When he looks at the monstrosity that he has created, however, the sight horrifies him. After a fitful night of sleep, interrupted by the specter of the monster looming over him, he runs into the streets, eventually wandering in remorse. Victor runs into Henry, who has come to study at the university, and he takes his friend back to his apartment. Though the monster is gone, Victor falls into a feverish illness.

is the type of education we get in school and there are life lessons we
learn along the way. Both are important.
The only problem is that life moves us far along before we figure out what's going on and the wisdom we hope to have gained is sometimes late in coming.
To spare you some of the hard knocks and trial and error, here are some life lessons to help you along.

"By drinking three cups of tea a day, the risk of a stroke was reduced 21%," said Lenore Arab, professor of medicine at the David Geffen School of Medicine.
The professor also said that the more you drink, the better your odds of staving off a stroke. Drinking three more cups can drop another 21%.
The effect was found in tea made from the plant Camellia sinensis, not herbs, Arab said.
