Edgar Snow was the American journalist who, risking his life, made it to the northern part of Shaanxi Province to interview Mao Zedong.

As a young boy, Snow, who might have been influenced by Mark Twain's works, was very interested in travel and adventure. After reading The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, and Life on the Mississippi, 17-year-old Snow then drove a T-type tourist car with several of his young playmates, heading for California, 3,000 kilometers away from his home state, Missouri.

Three months later, when he had spent all his five dollars, he had to climb onto slow-going trains. With the rumbling (隆隆作响) of the train, he enjoyed more than half of America's splendid views. On February 15, 1928, Snow decided to board Thunder, a ship leaving for the Far East, without informing his family, setting out to realize his dream of touring the world.

In 1958 or 30 years later, Snow explained his thought more clearly in his book Become a Journey: "I was 22 that year and made some money then, which was enough for me to be on a one-year adventurous tour of the world if I was to be thrifty (节约的). "

Clearly this young man's Far East travel was without any great dream at first. It was only his travel experiences, especially his visit to the northern part of Shaanxi Province years ago that determined his lifetime cause, thus closely connecting his life with China.

In December, Facebook's own researchers publicly questioned if Facebook could be a danger to the public's health in mind. I'd already been considering whether to give up or not for months, but this news helped me to decide what I would do; I was done.

I'm a freelancer (自由职业). If I don't work, I don't get paid. Therefore, it's fair to say that Facebook was influencing my work life and my pay. My working day used to go a little something like this: coffee, check emails, start writing, check Facebook, answer the phone, check Facebook, continue writing, check Facebook…You get the picture. Each work-related task was balanced out by social media, which made it difficult for me to focus on what I was doing.

Now that my Facebook does not work, I no longer have the chance to check it. I get much more work done and have time to reply to more emails and talk to possible clients (客户). However, the urge to log back on (重新登录) comes over me a few times per day, which makes me frightened. It could be a sign that I couldn't live without social media.

Right now, I don't know what the people I know are doing and, you know what, I couldn't care less. I'm getting on with my own thing and so are they. Isn't that how life was like before social media anyway?

Study after study finds many people who try to lose weight through a diet fail finally.

. "If you're looking to make a change, eating mindfully can be actually a much easier change to make than some of the diets that are out there," said Thayer.

Mindful eating is really about eating carefully. . It comes from the thought that by paying more attention to what and how we eat, we get more enjoyment from our food.
