Learn to move on




A wise man once sat in the audience & cracked a joke. All laughed like crazy. 

After a moment he cracked the same joke again and a little less people laughed this time. 
He cracked the same joke again & again, when there was no laughter in the crowd,  he smiled and said,

"When u can't laugh on the same joke again & again, then why do u keep crying over the same thing over and over again”

Jill Bolte Taylor : A Stroke of Insight

Many of you may have seen the Ted video by Jill Bolte Taylor, the neuroanatomist and spokesperson for the Harvard Brain Tissue Resource Center who survived a stroke in 1996, at age 37, to describe the shifts in her brain that took place as part of her recovery.

Fascinating stuff. And very useful and inspiring to not only those recovering from neurological disorders, but also psychological ones.
