I love the idea of microlending, small loans of a few hundred dollars made to entrepreneurs in impoverished areas so that they can start or grow businesses of their own, helping them to achieve financ...
Google GMail之父Paul Buchheit分享个人经历:哥哥因胰腺癌去世后,他开始思考如何度过余生;随后女儿早产并遭遇严重脑出血和多次手术,他在生死边缘体会到了无条件的爱。文章最后通过一个寓言故事,对比了基于爱与宽恕的真神与基于恐惧与贪婪的假神,强调在充满恐惧和分裂的时代,无条件之爱才是指引方向的光。这是一篇结合个人悲剧、育儿艰辛与哲学反思的深度长文。
