Mr. Dena kept an unforgettable3 by Sir Isaac Newton on his chalkboard: "If I have been able to see further, it is only because I stand on the shoulders of giants." He reflected on that throughout the year and was4 to teach us more than math.

Mr. Dena occasionally gave partner tests, believing that we could solve hard problems together. He drew names out of a hat to5 partners. Students were6 out loud that they wouldn't be paired with me. As the "lucky" name was picked, the class burst into laughter. My partner joked about being7 with me. However, we worked well together and surprised everyone with our8 on this test. I learned so much from my classmates and I realized this was really why we had partner tests.

The final exam was Mr. Dena's final9 to us, but I failed it. I told him I didn't understand how I could do so10 on a test when I had studied so hard. He explained it's not about the grades; it's about true understanding. If studying didn't11 on a test, it would someday. I knew then that beyond passing or failing tests, studying was about hard work and effort. And I12 myself harder than I ever had.

"All honey has some antibiotic qualities," explains Frances largerman-Roth, RD, nutritionist and author of Eating in Color. "In typical honey, it is hydrogen peroxide that provides this benefit, whereas in manuka honey, it's UMF that is antibiotic." UMF stands for Unique Manuka Factor, a grading system that uses a scale of 5 to 20 to measure each batch of honey's antibacterial ability. The higher the UMF number, the stronger manuka honey's antibacterial ability — meaning it can be used to treat wounds (伤口), cuts, burns, and even bedsores, says Largerman-Roth. "Types of manuka honey that possess a UMF content of 12 or higher are actually considered medical grade, and can be added to bandages to treat wounds." she says.

Why does manuka honey have such a good reputation for healing wounds and dealing with infection? "Honey is very low in moisture (水分) content," says Largerman-Roth. "When you put it on a wound, all the liquid in the wound gets drawn into the honey because it has the ability to absorb the moisture. By absorbing all the dirt, the honey protects the body against infection. Medical grade manuka can also restore the natural pH of the skin and remove dead tissue when used topically," she adds.

Robert Graham, a physician specializing in integrative medicine, also says that manuka honey can be used in medical settings. "There is evidence for the use of manuka honey for problems such as acute burns, diabetic ulcers (溃疡) and so on." he tells Health. "Particularly for wounds, manuka honey prevents infections, speeds up healing, and has also been shown to decrease the risk of developing community-acquired MRSA, a potentially dangerous infection."

"Anyone who is allergic to bees should use manuka honey with caution. Otherwise, it's beneficial with little side effects," says Dr. Graham.

Experts from Stanford's Health Services explored this troubling trend: during the day, many Stanford students are seen socializing in cafés, seemingly without any stress or the need to study. However, at night, they start studying, sometimes for the entire night, trying to maintain the image of effortless success. This comes at a high price: tiredness and anxiety are widespread. Furthermore, it leads to a common wrong idea: true talents achieve success effortlessly, while those working hard are less capable.

In an effort to challenge this misconception (误解), researchers designed an experiment. Participants were asked to observe a series of colors carefully while scientists tracked their brain activity throughout the process. The experiment was divided into two parts: one with easily recognized colors and the other with colors that were quite similar, requiring more effort to recognize. As the difficulty of the task increased, there was a noticeable increase in brain activity, particularly in areas linked to memory and abstract reasoning.

The study shows that as tasks require more effort, more areas of the brain become engaged. Growth doesn't come from talent alone but from the continuous application of effort. Our brain functions like a muscle. Without effort, even our inborn talents will disappear over time.

This pushes us to reconsider the culture behind that might lead to this phenomenon. Instead of focusing too much on outcomes or singing high praise for inborn talents, we should emphasize the learning process and continuous improvement. By encouraging a culture that values effort, we can help students realize that intelligence is not fixed but grows through hard work. Such a change would not only reduce the pressures related to the "Stanford Duck Syndrome", but also have a big effect on personal development and the future of education.

Many of her workmates were sleeping at the station, but Orr preferred to go home, where she had running water but no electricity. She could handle not having an air-conditioner. The trick, she said, was to take a cold shower. Not having Internet, though, was a hardship. She said, "I couldn't check my social media until I got to work, which was annoying." In the days leading up to Ida, people contacted Orr through Twitter to get individualized, practical advice. Orr tried to respond to everyone. This dedication earned her great respect from the residents.

Orr has always been fascinated by weather. In 1965, when she was twelve years old, the wind from Hurricane Betsy blew the roof off her family's house in New Orleans. She remembers going outside and standing in the eye of the storm. "I looked up and saw the sky and saw the stars," she said.

"Bad weather happens everywhere," she said, "Every now and then, on Twitter, you'll see people saying, why do you live there? Well, I live here because it's my home. This is where I grew up. This is the place I love." She went on, "After Hurricane Katrina, I thought, could I live anywhere else? And I decided, no, I couldn't." She added, "As my daughter said about New Orleans when she was a little girl, ‘I even love the dirt.'"
