More From Nhat Hanh

Suppose you are drinking a cup of tea. when you hold your cup, you may like to breathe in, to bring your mind back to your body, and you become fully present. and when you are truly there, something else is also there - life, represented by the cup of tea. in that moment you are real, and the cup of tea is real. you are not lost in the past, in the future, in your projects, in your worries. you are free from all of these afflictions. and in that state of being free, you enjoy your tea. that is the moment of happiness, and of peace.

Economists often talk about the 80/20 principle, which is the idea that in any situation roughly 80 percent of the “work” will be done by 20 percent of the participants. in most societies, 20 percent of criminals commit 80 percent of crimes. twenty percent of motorists cause 80 percent of all accidents. twenty percent of beer drinkers drink 80 percent of all beer. when it comes to epidemics, though, this disproportionality becomes even more extreme: a tiny percentage of people do the majority of the work.

Drink water, drink tea. i find that if i drink tea i can make myself think that it's something special, because you know how you just really want a glass of wine at the end of the day? so sometimes i can really want a glass of wine but talk myself into believing that tea is as nice, and that's one thing to do to be nice to your skin. actually, two things: you're not have the wine and you're drinking water. also just working out. all the things you do to be healthy in your life help your skin.

Nice Gossip People
I like the fact that they still run substantive pieces. i'm not sure i like the pieces, but it's nice that they do that. anyway, it was always sort of ridiculous, me having anything to do with the youth culture, but now that i'm in my 50s, it's extra-double-ridiculous. they were losing interest in me, and i was losing interest in them. when i went to renegotiate my contract at rolling stone, i kind of halfheartedly asked if i could do half the work for half the money, and they asked if i could do two-thirds of the work for half the money. i ran that by my agent, since he can do math.
