Permanent success is not overnight

叶公好龙的故事告诉我们一个道理，做人要诚实，实事求是，表里如一，不要盲目地去追捧、崇拜一些事物，只唱高调，不务实际。对自己真正喜欢的事物，不要只停留在表面，而要深入地了解它的内在。

近所にコミュニティーカフェがあります。「ふらっとサロン」といいます。のみものは　ひとつ100円。安いでしょう？だから、毎日来るお客さんもいます。私は2週間に1回、働きに行きますが、お金はもらいません。ボランティアです。きっさ店とちがうのは、みんな、だれかと話したくて来る店だというところです。まだ、マスクは必要ですが、最近忙しくなりました。さて、どんなお客さんが来るのでしょうか。

第30話「ふらっとサロン」へようこそ

Ancient Egyptians loved and respected cats, believing they brought good luck.

Some families even dressed their cats in jewelry, and mummified them after death. They would mourn the death of their cat by shaving off their eyebrows, and continue to mourn until their eyebrows grew back.

Inspired by this ancient love for cats, the Shanghai Museum in China held a special event called Meowseum Nights.

Held 10 times during last summer and fall, the event invited 200 cats and 2,000 people to explore the exhibition On Top of the Pyramid: The Civilization of Ancient Egypt.

Some of the artifacts shown in the exhibition came from a temple discovered years ago in Egypt. The temple was for Bastet, an Egyptian goddess who could change into a cat. This gave the Shanghai Museum another reason to use cats as the theme for their event.

Museum director Chu Xiaobo said that the event was created to bring cat lovers to the museum, as in Shanghai, where there are over a million pet cats, cat-friendly public spaces are rare.

"There are dog parks, dog brunches, but not that much for cat parents to do with their pets," Wen Liuli, a visitor to the exhibition, told The Art Newspaper.

The museum took measures to keep all visitors and artifacts safe. Cats had to stay in strollers or bags, but there were certain areas where people could take their cats out for photos, such as in front of a statue of Bastet. All the other artifacts were kept behind glass.

The museum also had vets, doctors, and even an ambulance on-site, and over 80 animal welfare workers attended each night to help and give advice.

While the museum doesn't plan to hold another Meowseum Night, Chu hopes it might inspire other museums to try similar ideas.

"Cat people now have a special affection for the Shanghai Museum," he said.
