Astăzi am terminat de citit ,,Lecții de chimie”, o carte ce mi-a fost dăruită de @radioseven și pentru care le mulțumesc foarte mult! 
  Cred că dacă ești femeie, e imposibil ca această carte să nu te impresioneze: când vezi cât de puține drepturi aveau femeile, cum erau tratate ca niște persoane inferioare bărbaților, cum nu aveau dreptul de a fi ceea ce își doresc și cum nu erau auzite de nimeni atunci când încercau să strige nedreptățile la care au fost supuse.
 Și atunci mă întreb: e clar că acum am făcut un progres enorm față de anii ‘60 - drept dovadă, eu studiez medicina- dar oare am scăpat de toate nedreptățile la care sunt supuse femeile? Oare nu am auzit de foarte multe ori chiar și în zilele noastre: ,, Ea este femeie, ea trebuie să facă mâncare, curățenie!”. Sunt conștientă că unele diferențe dintre sexe sunt naturale și că trebuie să existe în continuare, dar a face curățenie, mâncare, a fi atent la nevoile celui de lângă tine, cred că nu ține de apartenența la un anumit sex. 
O carte plăcută, ușoară, dar care m-a tulburat și pe care am savurat-o! O recomand cu căldură! ♥️📚

What is the Difference Between Divergent and Convergent Thinking?

“Divergent thinking is the process of coming up with new ideas and possibilities—without judgment, without analysis, without discussion. It is the type of thinking that allows you to free-associate, to ‘go big’ and to discuss possible new ways to solve difficult challenges that have no single/right/known answer,”

Think about a brainstorming session, where you sit down to discuss what company problem needs to be solved next. People are throwing out all sorts of suggestions—even ones you know at first glance are unfeasible. That’s divergent thinking. You’re spitballing ideas without any rules or restrictions.

Now that you have that long list of lofty ambitions, what happens next? In an ideal world, it’s convergent thinking.

Divergent vs Convergent thinking for business & work. Reading 7 Comprehension

Have you ever accidentally gotten on a bus that was going out of service?

What do you expect would happen next? The driver would probably open the door and tell you to get off, and they wouldn't start driving until the bus was empty.

But that's not what happened to two tourists in Kyoto.

When they accidentally got on a bus that was going out of service in early June, the driver just closed the doors and drove away with them still on board.

And yes, he knew they were there.

But he was afraid to talk to them because they were foreigners, and he didn't know how to communicate with them.

As The Asahi Shimbun reported, the tourists — a man and a woman — got on the bus through the back door after all the other passengers exited at Kyoto station.

When they realized what had happened, the tourists asked the driver to stop, but he didn't understand them and just kept driving.

He later said he thought it would be best to deal with them at the bus terminal office.

When the driver wouldn't stop, the tourists called the police. An officer spoke to the driver over the phone, and the driver finally stopped.

They had been driving for around 20 minutes, traveling a distance of about 4 kilometers.

The West Japan JR Bus Company said: "We are very sorry for the inconvenience caused. Our employee training was insufficient, and our employee did not handle the situation correctly. We will thoroughly train our employees in the future."

Kyoto has a number of train and subway lines, but some of its most famous sites are most conveniently visited by bus — including Kiyomizudera temple in the east, and the gold-covered Kinkakuji temple in the northwest.

日本語を知らなくても、「manga」「judo」「sushi」「tsunami」などの言葉を知っている人は多いと思います。「wabi わび」はどうでしょうか。「sabi さび」と一緒（いっしょ）に「わびさび」と言われることが多いですね。日本人が大事にしている価値観（かちかん sence of values ）のひとつです。とか何とか言いながら、実は100％日本人の私でさえ、よくわかんなかったんですよ。ウィキペディア以上（いじょう）に説明（せつめい）できるとは思いませんでした。でもね、この間、紅葉（こうよう／もみじ）見にいって、すこーしわかったような気がしたので、その経験（けいけん experience )をお話したいと思います。そして次回は「さび」へと続（つづ）きます。
