Wer kann die Katze einschliessen?

The fol­low­ing is, sup­pos­ed­ly, a test for com­put­er sci­ence stu­dents in their 2nd year in chi­na. Some solve it with­in min­utes. Oth­ers don’t grasp it even after a week. How long do you take?

Try to block the cat so it can’t escape!

Click the image to go to the game. Then click the fields that you think must be blocked in order for the cat to not escape.

Good luck and have fun!

 

Als ich mich selbst zu lieben begann

As I began to love myself I found that anguish and emo­tion­al suf­fer­ing are only warn­ing signs that I was liv­ing against my own truth.

Today, I know, this is “AUTHENTICITY“.

As I began to love myself I under­stood how much it can offend some­body as I try to force my desires on this per­son, even though I knew the time was not right and the per­son was not ready for it, and even though this per­son was me.

Today I call it “RESPECT“.

As I began to love myself I stopped crav­ing for a dif­fer­ent life, and I could see that every­thing that sur­round­ed me was invit­ing me to grow.

Today I call it “Matu­ri­ty“.

As I began to love myself I under­stood that at any cir­cum­stance, I am in the right place at the right time, and every­thing hap­pens at the exact­ly right moment, so I could be calm.

Today I call it “SELF-CONFIDENCE“.

As I began to love myself I quit steel­ing my own time, and I stopped design­ing huge projects for the future. Today, I only do what brings me joy and hap­pi­ness, things I love to do and that make my heart cheer, and I do them in my own way and in my own rhythm.

Today I call it “SIMPLICITY“.

As I began to love myself I freed myself of any­thing that is no good for my health – food, peo­ple, things, sit­u­a­tions, and every­thing the drew me down and away from myself. At first I called this atti­tude a healthy egoism.

Today I know it is “LOVE OF ONESELF“.

As I began to love myself I quit try­ing to always be right, and ever since I was wrong less of the time.

Today I dis­cov­ered that is “MODESTY“.

As I began to love myself I refused to go on liv­ing in the past and wor­ry about the future. Now, I only live for the moment, where EVERYTHING is happening.

Today I live each day, day by day, and I call it “FULFILLMENT“.

As I began to love myself I rec­og­nized that my mind can dis­turb me and it can make me sick. But As I con­nect­ed it to my heart, my mind became a valu­able ally.

Today I call this con­nec­tion “WISDOM OF THE HEART“.

We no longer need to fear argu­ments, con­fronta­tions or any kind of prob­lems with our­selves or oth­ers. Even stars col­lide, and out of their crash­ing new worlds are born.

Today I know THAT IS “LIFE“!
