 In the 19th century, there had been quite a few shipwrecks around New Zealand, killing any number of people. If they managed to escape to some remote sub-Antarctic islands, they froze or starved to death there. Therefore, the New Zealand government began to build huts for such castaways. Firewood, food rations, warm clothing, fishing rods, medicines and matches were also stored there. Twice a year they visited the small islands to check on the situation. There was also a written notice on the supplies. It was supposed to discourage thieves from simply taking them. It said. "The curse of the widow and the fatherless man is on the man who breaks open this box while he has a ship at his back." In the 1920s, radio technology improved. One stopped the project after and after. But in 1908, there was a case of 22 men from a French ship stranded in the Antipodes Islands after being shipwrecked. The supplies helped them to survive until a ship passed by to which they could signal.

As we look back at the way people talked about "how to" 20 years ago, it's amazing to see how much has changed. The advent of the internet and the rapid advancement of technology have transformed the way we seek and consume information. Let's take a trip back in time and explore the evolution of "how to" advice over the past two decades. Twenty years ago, the primary source of "how to" advice was books. If you wanted to learn a new skill or figure out how to do something, you had to go to the library or bookstore and buy a book on the topic. The internet was still in its infancy, and while there were some websites offering advice, they were few and far between. The majority of online content was in the form of static web pages that provided information but didn't allow for interaction or engagement.   In the early 2000s, we saw the rise of forums and online communities where people could ask questions and get advice from others. These commu...

As a meditation teacher, I have encountered countless students who have had life-changing experiences during meditation. But there is one particular case that stands out in my mind - a meditation student I will never forget. The student, whom I'll call Mary, was in her mid-thirties and came to me seeking guidance on how to cope with her anxiety and depression. She had been suffering for years and had tried various medications and therapies, but nothing seemed to help her. I started teaching Mary simple meditation techniques, such as focusing on her breath and using a mantra. At first, she struggled to quiet her mind and stay focused. But she kept coming back to our sessions and practicing on her own.   Then, one day, Mary came to me with tears in her eyes. She told me that during her morning meditation, she had a breakthrough. As she was focusing on her breath, she suddenly felt a wave of warmth and love wash over her. She described it as a feeling of pure bliss and joy, un...
