   你不是你的情绪，你不是你的认知，你不是你的过去，你也不是你的将来。那...你是什么？其实就是一个非常好的一个课题。我相信对任何一个人也是，每一个人都会有开心的时候，有难过的时候，其实他的这样的一个方式，其实让你在很轻松的一种状态里面能够跳出来，可能你会找回一些更多属于自己的力量。有时候犯个小小的错误也挺好挺可爱的，这就是人生吧。
力量   lì liang ；power ,strength
犯错   fàn cuò ；make a mistake
translation:
You are not your emotions, you are not your cognition, you are not your past, and you are not your future. So... what are you? It's a very good subject actually. . . I believe that it suits anyone. Everyone has happy times and sad times. In fact, this allows you to jump out of a very relaxed state of mind. Maybe you will gain more strength within yourself. Sometimes it's nice and cute to make some small mistakes. This is life,isn’t it?

One of Coca-Cola's many taglines was: "You can't beat the real thing." The company was trying to say that even though there were a lot of similar drinks, none of them was as good as the "real" Coke.

You might not agree. But when it comes to art, researchers in the Netherlands think it's true — you can't beat the real thing.

A small study has found that real artworks stimulate the brain much more than posters or prints of the same work.

The Mauritshuis ("MAO-rits-haus") Museum in The Hague commissioned the study. The museum's best-known artwork is Girl with a Pearl Earring by Johannes Vermeer.

Researchers showed this artwork and four others to 20 people. While they were looking at the paintings, their brain activity was measured using a brain scanner.

The participants were also asked to look at posters of those same five artworks. The researchers compared their brain activity when looking at the real artworks and when looking at the posters.

They found that when looking at the real artworks, participants had an emotional response that was 10 times stronger compared to when they were looking at the posters.

Martine Gosselink from the museum said this was an "enormous difference." She said they had thought that looking at the real thing might give people a richer experience, but now "we can really say that it is true."

The researchers said the real art caused a strong emotional response in a part of the brain called the precuneus. This part of the brain is involved with self-reflection and personal memories.

Some have said that this research demonstrates the importance of museums and galleries for people of all ages.
