Santiago is an old Cuban fisherman who has gone eighty-four days without catching a fish. His young apprentice, Manolin, is forbidden by his parents to fish with him anymore because they believe that Santiago is bringing bad luck. One day, Santiago sets out alone in his skiff to fish off the coast of Cuba. He casts his line and waits patiently for a bite.
After two days, Santiago finally feels a fish on his line. He struggles to land the fish, which is much larger than he is. The fish pulls the skiff far out to sea, and Santiago is forced to fight for two days and nights to land it.
Finally, Santiago lands the fish, but it is so large that he cannot bring it into the skiff. The fish dies, and Santiago ties it to the side of the skiff. He is exhausted, but he is also proud of his accomplishment.
That night, a school of sharks attacks the fish. Santiago fights them off with a harpoon, but they eventually eat most of the fish. By the time Santiago reaches shore, he is left with only the skeleton of the fish.
Manolin is waiting for Santiago when he arrives. He helps Santiago carry the skeleton of the fish to his shack. Santiago is disappointed, but he is also grateful for the experience. He knows that he has faced his greatest challenge and has emerged victorious.

The idea of time blindness, or difficulty perceiving and managing time, has spread across social media. While there is no diagnosis for it, some people explain that, despite their best efforts, they frequently lose track of time, underestimate or overestimate how long tasks will take, show up late, and miss deadlines.
Time blindness is a psychological phenomenon that nearly everyone experiences from time to time, said Michael Manos, at the Cleveland Clinic.
“Who doesn’t get completely occupied with a hobby or a conversation they’re having with somebody, or some kind of activity that is so interesting that it occupies attention, and it takes attention away from other things that might be pressing?” he said.
Not all experts agree, but some suggest that it could be a limitation for some people.
Renae Beaumont, an associate professor of psychology in clinical psychiatry, said time blindness and flow, a state of intense focus in an activity that is engaging, enjoyable and temporarily distracts from the passage of time, are different phenomena.
“Flow is typically associated with positive emotions when you’re doing something you enjoy, and you are able to shift to a different task when you need to. Time blindness involves getting stuck, losing track of time and typically having trouble transitioning to a different task,” she said.
There is no clear consensus, but some researchers consider time blindness to be an impairment in temporal perception, or the way the brain experiences time.
Certain strategies may help people who struggle with time perception and management, experts said. Use digital reminders including alarms, timers and calendars to keep track of appointments, dates and deadlines. Washington Post.

In our modern world, there are many factors that place the wellbeing of the planet in jeopardy. While some people have the opinion that environmental problems are just a natural occurrence, others believe that human beings have a huge impaction the environment. Regardless of your viewpoint, take into consideration the following factors that place our environment as well as the planet Earth in danger.
Global warming or climate change is a major contributing factor to environmental damage. Because of
global warming, we have seen an increase in melting
ice caps, a rise in sea levels, and the formation of new
weather patterns. These weather patterns have caused
stronger storms, droughts, and flooding in places that
they formerly did not occur.
Air pollution is primarily caused as a result of excessive
and unregulated emissions of carbon dioxide into the
air. Pollutants mostly emerge ____________the burning_________fossil fuels______ addition __________ chemicals, toxic substances, and improper waste disposal.
Air pollutants are absorbed into the atmosphere, and
they can cause smog, a combination of smoke and
fog, in valleys as well as produce acidic precipitation in
areas far away from the pollution source.
In many areas, people and local governments do not
sustainably use their natural resources. Mining for
natural gases, deforestation, and even improper use of
water resources can have tremendous effects on the
environment. While these strategies often attempt
to boost local economies, their effects can lead to oil
spills, interrupted animal habitats, and droughts.
Ultimately, the effects of the modern world on the
environment can lead to many problems. Human
beings need to consider the repercussions of their
actions, trying to reduce, reuse, and recycle materials
while establishing environmentally sustainable habits.
If measures are not taken to protect the environment,
we can potentially witness the extinction of more
endangered species, worldwide pollution, and a completely uninhabitable planet.
