Intentional living is a way of living your life. It forces you to get to know yourself and identify what it is that is important to you. You decide how you want to live and what you want to cut out of your life. It forces you to prioritise what you want and live each day in alignment with these priorities. In today’s world we are stressed, overstressed, and anxious all the time and it’s no surprise that intentional living is becoming increasingly popular. But what does it mean to live intentionally?

古诗：游子吟（jau4 zi2 jam4）

『森』の観察をはじめてから、１週間ほどたったある日のこと、カンパネラ少年は、たいへんな発見をしました。『森』の奥にある湖のほとりに、カンパネラ少年とおなじ年くらいの赤毛の女の子がヒョッコリとあらわれたのです。
「どうして『森』に人間がいるんだ？」
さらにおどろいたことに、女の子は防護スーツを着ていませんでした。
人間は『森』では生きられないはずです。学校ではそう習いました。
しかし望遠鏡には、『森』の中で笛をふく女の子のすがたが、たしかにうつしだされていました。

その日から、カンパネラ少年は、『森』にむけた望遠鏡を毎日のぞくようになりました。
観察をつづけていると、いろんなことがわかってきました。
『森』にはおとなの男の人や女の人も暮らしていました。空中帝国とおなじような暮らしが、
そこにあったのです。
しかし学校では、あいかわらず、「『森』は細菌だらけで人間は住むことができない」と習います。
これは、いったいどういうことでしょう？

朗読：『オルゴールワールド』#3 にしのあきひろ著

If you're looking to make a good first impression on a dating app, from your POV, you might think it would be a good idea to send a text using lots of abbreviations to make it seem like you're BFFs with the person you're texting.

But FWIW, according to a recent study from Stanford University and the University of Toronto, nobody likes receiving text abbreviations — not even young people.

Don't know those abbreviations? "POV" means "point of view," "BFF" means "best friend forever," and "FWIW" is "for what it's worth"!

Researchers studying the use of such abbreviations did a number of studies with several thousand people, and they found that texts using abbreviations were less likely to get replies. And writers using abbreviations were more likely to be seen as insincere.

Of course, we all use abbreviations — in one survey, it was found that 99% of people said they used them. But the researchers found that people don't like receiving texts with abbreviations, because rather than making them feel closer to the other person, it felt like the other person wasn't putting much effort into the conversation.

And while young people are even more likely to use abbreviations, they still felt that people who used them were insincere. Young people were also less likely to reply to such messages.

Lead researcher David Fang said we often put different amounts of effort into our conversations to show how important the other person is to us.

So it might be fine to put little effort into, say, a quick message to a delivery driver. But Fang said his team's results are especially important for people who really want to make a good impression — like at the beginning of a relationship!
