Sunday Fun and New
Dancers are very driven people – to say
the least. No surprise here. We tend to focus with laser intensity on anything
and everything related to ballet every single day. And that’s okay. But to keep
your motivation high it helps to divert your focus onto something totally
different once in awhile.
Learn something fun and new every day.
In this age of computers it’s easy. For instance, here are some fun facts: In 2017 an eighth continent may have been
discovered, beneath New Zealand. Scientists call it Zealandia. I’m not making
this up. http://www.geosociety.org/gsatoday/archive/27/3/article/GSATG321A.1.htm
Or, this one: Astronomers discovered
seven planets outside our solar system (40 light years away), and three of them
are in the “habitable zone”. Hmmmm. https://www.nasa.gov/press-release/nasa-telescope-reveals-largest-batch-of-earth-size-habitable-zone-planets-around
Or, yet another one: In Panama,
scientists discovered loud shrimp. Seriously. These shrimp use their large claw
to make a noise equal to 210 decibels (a rock concert is 110-140 decibels).
What did the scientists name this new shrimp? Synalpheus
pinkfloydi – because the scientists love Pink Floyd. https://www.npr.org/sections/allsongs/2017/04/12/523577797/a-shrimp-that-can-kill-with-sound-is-named-after-pink-floyd
There you have it. Look for things that
are fun and new – things you can’t make up!
