Resisting Happiness by Mathew Kelly
Hello READBBS community,Well after a long time a new post is getting posted here recently i read a book called Resisting Happiness by Mathew kelly a friend of mine had a hard cover book so he lended me for a month to read and return back..i read 5-6 pages at every night and formed the habit of reading every morning.. i try to read as long as i can mostly 20-30 mins every morning and sometimes at night before going to sleep.. Now about the book and my review..i thoroughly enjoyed reading this book as well i needed something like this to read and i would recommend all to read this one..Here are some of my favourite quotes from the book..âWherever you find excellence, you find continuous learning. They go hand in hand. Wherever you find that continuous learning is missing, you find mediocrity.ââ Matthew Kelly, Resisting HappinessâKnowing that death is not far off brings remarkable clarity. After that news, there is no middle ground; something is either very important or not important at all.ââ Matthew Kelly, Resisting Happiness âAddiction in all its forms, large and small, serious and less serious (no addiction is trivial), is one of the central themes of our lives. Identifying our own addictions of thought and action is part of each personâs spiritual journey. Food, control, talking too much, work, sex, pornography, alcohol, drugs, always being right, noise, negative thinking, negative humor, skepticism, cynicism, minimalismâŚthe list is varied and endless. It doesnât matter what it is for you, and it doesnât matter what it is for me. What matters is how we respond.ââ Matthew Kelly, Resisting Happiness âIn order to have a healthy financial life that balances earning with spending, and saving with giving, one must be able to delay gratification. In order to raise children to become the-best-version-of-themselves, one must be willing to delay gratification.ââ Matthew Kelly, Resisting HappinessâNothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education alone will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.ââ Matthew Kelly, Resisting Happiness âWhatever your age, if you have not yet fallen in love with learning, begin that love affair today. How? Go wherever your interests lead you. It is the perfect place to start. Rekindle a childlike curiosity. Ask why a lot. Free yourself from outcomes; you donât need a reason and you donât need to accomplish anything. Iââ Matthew Kelly, Resisting Happiness

"The Lottery" by Shirley Jackson
Summary - The villagers of a small town gather together in the square on June 27, a beautiful day, for the town lottery. In other towns, the lottery takes longer, but there are only 300 people in this village, so the lottery takes only two hours. Village children, who have just finished school for the summer, run around collecting stones. They put the stones in their pockets and make a pile in the square. Men gather next, followed by the women. Parents call their children over, and families stand together. Mr. Summers runs the lottery because he has a lot of time to do things for the village. He arrives in the square with the black box, followed by Mr. Graves, the postmaster. This black box isnât the original box used for the lottery because the original was lost many years ago, even before the town elder, Old Man Warner, was born. Mr. Summers always suggests that they make a new box because the current one is shabby, but no one wants to fool around with tradition. Mr. Summers did, however, convince the villagers to replace the traditional wood chips with slips of paper. Mr. Summers mixes up the slips of paper in the box. He and Mr. Graves made the papers the night before and then locked up the box at Mr. Summersâs coal company. Before the lottery can begin, they make a list of all the families and households in the village. Mr. Summers is sworn in. Some people remember that in the past there used to be a song and salute, but these have been lost. Tessie Hutchinson joins the crowd, flustered because she had forgotten that today was the day of the lottery. She joins her husband and children at the front of the crowd, and people joke about her late arrival. Mr. Summers asks whether anyone is absent, and the crowd responds that Dunbar isnât there. Mr. Summers asks who will draw for Dunbar, and Mrs. Dunbar says she will because she doesnât have a son whoâs old enough to do it for her. Mr. Summers asks whether the Watson boy will draw, and he answers that he will. Mr. Summers then asks to make sure that Old Man Warner is there too. Mr. Summers reminds everyone about the lotteryâs rules: heâll read names, and the family heads come up and draw a slip of paper. No one should look at the paper until everyone has drawn. He calls all the names, greeting each person as they come up to draw a paper. Mr. Adams tells Old Man Warner that people in the north village might stop the lottery, and Old Man Warner ridicules young people. He says that giving up the lottery could lead to a return to living in caves. Mrs. Adams says the lottery has already been given up in other villages, and Old Man Warner says thatâs ânothing but trouble.â Mr. Summers finishes calling names, and everyone opens his or her papers. Word quickly gets around that Bill Hutchinson has âgot it.â Tessie argues that it wasnât fair because Bill didnât have enough time to select a paper. Mr. Summers asks whether there are any other households in the Hutchinson family, and Bill says no, because his married daughter draws with her husbandâs family. Mr. Summers asks how many kids Bill has, and he answers that he has three. Tessie protests again that the lottery wasnât fair. Mr. Graves dumps the papers out of the box onto the ground and then puts five papers in for the Hutchinsons. As Mr. Summers calls their names, each member of the family comes up and draws a paper. When they open their slips, they find that Tessie has drawn the paper with the black dot on it. Mr. Summers instructs everyone to hurry up. The villagers grab stones and run toward Tessie, who stands in a clearing in the middle of the crowd. Tessie says itâs not fair and is hit in the head with a stone. Everyone begins throwing stones at her.

A HIDDEN PLACE by Simon J. Wood **READ**
âConnect the Clues!â said the library sign. âWhatâs that about?â I asked a female librarian, middle-aged and plain-looking, with a grey bob of greasy hair. She didnât look up from her screen, instead pushing a flyer across the desk at me.âThank you so much,â I said, my sarcasm seemingly falling on deaf ears. Hmm. It sounded quite interesting. There were ten clues to things in the library. You filled in your answers to be entered for a draw to win a ÂŁ100 book token. When was the last time I had one of those I wondered. Probably at least forty years ago!I read, âClue no. 1. Downstairs, thereâs a painting, in a hidden place. If you find it then youâll gaze upon a famous face.â I trotted down some stairs labelled âTo Public Archivesâ and walked to an area with racks of newspapers and some stands to read at. Beyond was a corridor lined with shelves full of magazine holders. At the far end lay what looked like an alcove. Ah-ha! Many of the strip lights down here werenât working and the light was poor. The magazines seemed to grow increasingly old as I headed down the narrow corridor. I read a label. âCycling Monthly Jan-Dec 1928â. No-one about. I was the only one down here. Disappointingly, a green-cushioned chair sat in the alcove, no painting. Behind it was a door with a push-button lock. Well it did say a âhidden placeâ but surely that was private? I looked around nervously, then moved the chair and tried the door. It was locked. On impulse I punched 1-2-3-4 and bingo! it opened. Someone should change that code! Inside lay an ancient brick stairway with an old iron railing. I pressed a switch and small light bulbs, curving down and out of sight, illuminated the way. In for a penny⌠Closing the door behind me, I started down a spiral staircase. Down and round and down and round I went. There was wiring along the wall and the little lights continued, although the further down I went, the lower the roof became, until it was scarcely above my head. Finally the staircase opened onto a small dank cave-like space with an earthen floor. In the centre was a plinth with a book chained to it. Light came from a single dim bulb in the ceiling. The covers of the book were vellum, smooth cream calf leather. I opened it and my heart thudded at the image of a hideous demon. Suddenly all the lights went out. In the total darkness I started to feel panic rising. Then I felt fetid breath in my face and the hot touch of a scaly hand on mine Mr. Smith, Mr. Smith! I opened my eyes to find myself in a hospital bed, a pretty young Indian nurse gently shaking my arm. âWhat happened?â I asked, groggily as the room came into focus. âYou fell down some stairs in the library. They thought you might be concussed. Weâll do some tests, it wonât take long,â she said. âOh, I had a strange dream.â âYes?â I caught sight of my right hand. Across the back were four faint parallel red streaks. âOh, nothingâŚâ SOURCE

TRAIN OF THOUGHT by Simon J. Wood **READ**
It was a spring day, and the writer sat on a bench under the station clock. He took a deep breath, revelling in the sensation of rebirth in the warm air. In the distance, far off, below the backdrop of craggy, pine-covered mountains, he could just make out a dot that signified the oncoming train. He was very old, and his thin frame seemed lost within the baggy grey suit he wore. He looked up at the clock, where the thick black minute hand against the white disc had just passed 11.50. Yes, the train would be on time. He opened a battered brown suitcase, took out an ancient notebook and smiled. A gift from his auntie Nellie when heâd got his first job at the Cravenbrook Times. Now it was seventy years later. Where had all those years gone? The old writer gazed at a faded poster for a feature film on the station wall. Hollywood stars alternately grimaced and smiled back at him. But if he had made the effort to stand up and walk over, he could have looked in the small print below the big names and seen his own name as the screenwriter. Well, one of them. âDan, we can use the script but itâs going to need serious rewriting, weâre pairing you up with Solomon Peebles.â Heâd been over that darned script so many times the print was almost worn out in places. He thought it was damned near perfect. Yeah, maybe it could do with a few edits here and there, but âserious rewritingâ! His hackles had risen. âHang on, Quent, Sol Peebles was in diapers when Iâd written a dozen books and four movie scripts!â âLook, Dan, calm down. Weâll fly you out to LA. Take some chill-out time. Lay on the beach, take a hike in the hills, then sit down with Sol for a week and heâll run through the changes with you.â The old man ran a hand over his bald head and looked down the line. The train was now visible as a train, no longer a distant speck. He looked around the platform. There were no other passengers. All was quiet and peaceful. He flicked through his notebook. Thereâd been many other notebooks since, but here were notes from many newspaper assignments â interviews, court reports, and jottings for his novels and stories too. He took out a pencil and sucked on the stub, re-reading his shorthand for a 1954 interview with Ray Bradbury for the thousandth time. âRay, you just won a gold medal for Fahrenheit 451. Congratulations! Do you remember how you got started writing?â âWell, Dan, my first decision about a career was when I was eleven. I wanted to be a magician and travel the world.â Heâd smiled. âWell, you are a magician. With words!â âWell, thank you.â Ray Bradbury laughed. âAnyway, my second decision was at the age of twelve. I got a toy typewriter for Christmas. And decided to become a writer.â âWhen did you get your first break?â he inquired. Ray Bradbury took off his owl-like glasses and polished them with a green silk handkerchief. âWell, Dan, er, my first acceptance came from Rob Wagnerâs Script Magazine, when I was twenty. In the meantime, Iâd written three million words!â The line began to hum with the approaching train and the old man slipped the pencil back into the retaining band of the old notebook and put it back into the suitcase. He remembered his Auntie Nellie with fondness. How his brother, Paul, and he had laughed at the way she often pronounced âomâ as âum,â so sheâd talk about ânuclear bumsâ and âIRA terrorist bums.â His auntie had brought them both up after his parents were wiped out by a German bomb one ghastly night. All he remembered of his mother was rosy cheeks and dark, liquid eyes that seemed to be filled with unconditional love for him. He didnât remember his father at all. âAuntie, have any more terrorist bums exploded?â he would ask, trying to keep a straight face. Then theyâd all collapse with laughter. Even Auntie Nellie would join in the fun. âI hope not, Daniel. They say thereâs a shortage of toilet paper!â The brakes sighed and the long blue engine slowed, and carriage after shiny carriage passed, until the train came to a standstill. No one got off and there was no announcement. The old man got on and a uniformed hand stretched out to help him up the steps. The train sprang into life again and began to move slowly along the platform, picking up speed until the rail began to sing once more. Then it was off down the line, whilst small white clouds in a pristine blue sky watched it go until it was just the tiniest of tiny dots in the far distance again. On the platform stood the old writerâs battered brown suitcase. He was going somewhere where he wouldnât be needing it anymore. Somewhere where he hoped those rosy cheeks and dark, liquid eyes would be waiting for him.

"Swami and Friends" - R.K Narayan
Swami and friends is probably one of favourite series from "R.K Narayan's" Series "Malgudi Days" i loved reading this one as a kid and would recommend anyone looking for a real good read..Certain books define coming of age for an English fiction reader. Sherlock Holmes, Famous Five, Hercule PoirotâŚthe list goes on. Some of us have different lists, but in a readersâ group it would be astonishing that if we have skipped the must-reads, it is a blot in our readership career.Swami is used to a simple life, and just when he had it under control, new things start to happen for him. He has to prepare for exams, cope with his new baby brother, and his new high school certainly hasn't gotten of to a very good start. Life starts to get very overwhelming, and Swami might just have to run away. This is one Indian novel, that isn't just about snake charmers and tigers, and is one of the world's best English novels by an Indian author RK Narayan is probably the most eminent writer of this genre â light fiction â any day, any time read, with a flow that rivals native English writers. Humor and irony are his mainstay, yet it does not devolve into satire because his characters carry with them the whole baggage of their attributes. Swami and Friends is a beautifully crafted series of short stories, connected by the characters. In todayâs parlance, this would turn as a novel, and if televised a series with couple of seasons and multiple episodes. Swami and Friends is the second book in the Malgudi Schooldays series. RK Narayan has woven together, all from the depths of his own imagination, the magical village of Malgudi in India. But the best thing is, you don't have to have read the first book to understand this one. Can be read by anyone, anytime and anywhere. Whatever the village is up to, whether it's strikes or cricket matches it will have you in fits of laughter. And if you (like Swami) are one of those people who rush through homework in the morning, then this is definitely one for you! This could just have easily been a normal story, as there are so many tales told from the eyes of young people. But RK Narayan has somehow turned this book into something special, and made it the one of a kind. Reading Swami and Friends made me want to visit Malgudi so badly, and I can tell you with confidence it will do the same for you! PDF Link -

A Mysterious Night with Aliens & an Unknown Life-Saver **READ**
It was a pleasant midnight. I was sleeping tightly. My sleep was interrupted by a blasting sound. I was alone ⌠My parents were away for a week & I was staying with my Uncle Ron. Since he is deaf, he slept peacefully unaware of the blast. I was totally losing my heart when I realized that there is something mysterious happening in the garden. I didnât get enough time to wake Uncle up & inform him. I grabbed a torch from my cupboard & rushed towards the place from which I heard the loud sound. I used to be a coward till that time. But at that moment, I gained some courage & that was for the first time in my life! I stood motionlessly at the sight of many UFOs firing at Earth from clear sky. I couldnât believe my eyes! Is this the end of our planet? I screamed for help. But there was no use of doing that! We lived in a lonely place at the hilltop. So there werenât anyone nearby to help us. Since Uncle Ron was deaf, he slept inside the house unaware of the destruction happening outside. Suddenly I heard a robotic announcement from one of the UFOs. It was as follows: âDear inhabitants of Earth, We are the aliens from Planet Zoono who have come here on Earth to take over it. Good-Bye forever to all humans⌠Well Earth, Time to Take You On!!!! ..." This announcement was ended with a fire ball from the UFOs hitting the Earth⌠This shook the earth surface⌠I turned white due to fear! I couldnât maintain the courage I gained a few minutes before I came to know what was going on⌠I had no more lifelines other than Uncle Ron! I managed to escape from the firing by aliens & reach Uncle Ron who was lying motionlessly on his bed. My heart was broken to find him unconscious. He was hurt by the firing! I was no other option other than to prepare myself for death! I cried aloud, âOh God, Iâm coming to you!!!â ⌠Suddenly, I heard someone speaking, âSon, I am always with you!â A bright light fell all over the entire place. It was from the sky! As soon as the light came, all the UFOs disappeared & all the destruction caused by them also vanished! My head felt to be heavy & I fainted seeing the mysterious smile of the unknown life-saver! When I regained my consciousness, I was on my bed! My Uncle was making coffee for me! He said he had a nice sleep yesterday!!! He isnât aware of what happened at night! This story happened 5 years ago. Still I have two unsolved questions in my mind regarding that mysterious night;âWas that dream or a true incident?â âWas the unknown life-saverLord Almighty?âThe mystery remains unwrapped!!!

What is Engagement Mining? **Understand this and you will know how BBS Platform?**
Hello READBBS community many of members asked me what is Engagement Mining and how do we get our board to recieve funds? i will try to explain this in very laymen's term so you can understand it.. Engagement Mining Explained Engagement Mining is the fuel to the BBS ecosystem. It functions as a subsidy to incentivize & reward BBS owners, content creators, curators and operators in order to bootstrap the network. 50% of the total BBS token supply is expected to be distributed over the span of a few years on a monthly basis to all, genuine BBSâs in the ecosystem. The engagement rewards are split between the BBS owner (Âą20%), operator (Âą10%), and the BBS cashier (Âą70%). The BBS Cashier is a pool of BBS tokens from which partnered members and board admins can cash-out their balance for BBS token, giving them access to deep liquidity. How much does each BBS receive & why? Each BBS earns based on the amount of daily impressions that BBS receives compared to the total amount of daily impression in the entire BBS network. So for example if you have 1000 daily impressions and the entire BBS network has 10,000, you would receive 10% of the daily BBS token distribution. Naturally early adopters will earn the most since there will be fewer BBSes to share the rewards with and less adoption to compete with.Daily Distribution is you can see in the REWARDS TAB on the BBS.. BBS Engagement Mining Pilot Phase - Criteria & Application BBS Engagement Mining Pilot Phase Engagement Mining - Post Pilot Phase While the Engagement Mining pilot phase will be operated by the developing team of BBS, once the full functionality of the Engagement Mining program is released, the decision of approval would fall to the BBS DAO, those who stake their BBS tokens. New boards are currently approved for the program in bi-monthly transitions, if there are any changes to the approved list. Boards that no longer meet requirements will be removed with these transitions as well, unless otherwise required. Pilot Phase Requirements for Consideration In order to be considered for the Engagement Mining pilot phase, a board must meet the following criteria: - BBS must focus around a popular topic. - A good measurement for a topicâs popularity would be the engagement it generates in similar platforms - On-topic Posts (at least 10 posts by unique users) - Meta-posts (posts about the board or community rather than its topic) are not counted - BBS consistently generates high-quality on-topic discussion - A good comparison would be top subreddits on similar topics - Top posts on the board should generate high-quality discussion - BBS only partners high-quality top contributing members - Top contributors measured according to their reputation, quality of their posts/comments, and the meaningful engagement/discussion they spark or contribute. - BBS monitors and mitigates any fraudulent activity, and maintains a healthy activity distribution - BBS must reflect well on the BBS Network - Approved boards must not maintain Partnership as a primary focus for members. Focused Board Topic In order to promote diversity of content and communities, each board will need to have a focused topic in order to be eligible for approval into the Engagement Mining program. This means that boards seeking approval for Engagement Mining must ensure that their board has a provided topic for members to post about (such as how METABBS is about the BBS Network, VILLA & BANTER are about crypto, THEORY is about Star Wars, etc). The majority of posts on the board must be directly relevant to the focused topic. Topics that are too broad would not be considered a focused topic. Boards must maintain requirements to remain eligible for the pilot phase of the Engagement Mining program. After the pilot phase, requirements can be set by the BBS DAO. If there are any questions about these requirements please comment here or message the Community Admins. Engagement Quality Applicants to the Engagement Mining program are also reviewed by their quality of engagement and discussion on their board. Posts published on the board should be on topic, and the board should consistently generate posts that produce meaningful engagement and discussion. Content on the board does not need to be original. Links to articles, discussion of news posts, or sharing information relevant to the board are also considered on-topic posts which contribute to the Engagement Mining qualifications. Taking a look at legacy social media networks such as Reddit, we can see that many of the posts which generate high quality discussion and engagement are links or posts about new or trending information relevant to the topic. Researching similar communities on other platforms is a great way to see what kind of content generates quality and meaningful discussion. Meaningful engagement and discussion around the board's topic is the most important criteria to be considered for Engagement Mining. Shallow or 'fluff' comments are not considered meaningful discussion/engagement. Some examples of non-meaningful comments: - Shallow expression of opinion: "I like this post, topic, movie, song, food'" etc - Irrelevant person discourse such as two members having their own unrelated conversation - Meta comments about the community instead of the topic Not all comments and discussions are expected to be meaningful and engaging, but meaningful discussion should be easily visible within the board's top posts, comments, and high quality contributions. Partnering on BBS Each board owner determines their board's revenue distribution, but board's seeking approval for Engagement Mining must ensure to maintain a healthy partnership with the board's top contributors. Monitoring & Mitigating Fraudulent Activity Each board owner and their team also has a responsibility to monitor and mitigate fraudulent activity. Boards with unmitigated fraudulent activity (manipulated posts, views, comments, etc) will not be eligible for approval. Boards should maintain a healthy activity distribution, meaning activity the board generates should not be localized primarily to a small group of users. Boards must reflect well on BBS Network Approved boards are supported by the BBS Network Engagement Mining program, and it's important that owners and teams of approved boards continue to promote a positive and healthy image of BBS Network. Approved boards can not force engagement through punitive measures. Approved boards must not maintain Partnership as a primary focus for members This means that while approved boards can maintain things such as partnership requirements, it should not be an active constant focus of the boardâs discussions or announcements. Partnership for a board should be maintained for top contributors, and should be a secondary or tertiary focus for the board. BBS Engagement Mining Application Once a BBS has reached the requirements, an application may be submitted by posting within the METABBS âEngagement Mining Applicationsâ channel. In the application, please include the following: - What is the focused topic of the BBS? - How does the BBS provide positive value to the Network? - What steps are taken to mitigate fraudulent or artificial or manipulated activity? - Feel free to include examples of meaningful discussion on your board After the application is made, send the link to the BBS Community Admin for review. Weâll review the application and let you know if the board will be added in to the next transition or will continue to be pending. BBS Network Revenue Distribution BBS Network gives BBS owners control over their own boardâs revenue while allowing them to reward top contributors through partnership with the board. Only a small fee is taken by the platform in order to support the DAO and operator (10%). With BBS, all ad revenue is distributed automatically and transparently through the use of BBS tokens. Each board on the network offers its own ad space available on published posts to be leased by board-approved advertisers. When advertisers fund their campaign, 90% of the BBS tokens used are deposited into the boardâs cashier balance which can be used by partnered members and the board owner to cash out their share of the revenue. Learn more about Partnering here. Anyone can become a BBS owner by creating a new board (similar to creating a new subreddit or Facebook group), and have control of their boardâs policies (within their chosen operatorâs Terms of Use), and revenue distribution. Board owners are able to invite quality contributors to the board as a Partner, giving the Partnered member the ability to earn their share of the boardâs revenue. Owners and their teams can Partner quality contributors in order to encourage and reward their continued contributions. For the first several years of BBS Network, 50% of the entire BBS token supply will be distributed through the Engagement Mining program to launch and/or subsidize advertisements for approved boards - providing an initial revenue flow for boards to bootstrap the network and incentivize board growth. Earned tokens can be used to financially support the board, staked for influence in BBS DAO governance, distributed to the community as incentive, or even be used to run ad campaigns for the board. Learn more about the BBS DAO here This model of revenue distribution fundamentally changes the dynamic established by legacy social network platforms. Instead of the platform owners controlling the ecosystem and its revenue, each board owner is responsible for its own distribution and incentivization, providing the contributors and end-users a choice - ensuring the network ecosystem remains healthy and competitive instead of faltering under a centralized source. Partnering 101 What is Partnering? Partnering was introduced with Version 4.0.1 as a replacement to the Whitelist system. Board owners and their teams can choose to make a member a Partner in order to allow them to share in the board's revenue. Board owners are incentivized to Partner their top contributors in order to encourage further support and contribution towards the board. Partnered members have access to view board revenue information, the ability to run ad campaigns, and earn 100% of the revenue from published posts. How are Partners selected? In order to qualify for Engagement Mining approval, board owners must whitelist high quality, top contributors to their boards. Boards not seeking approval into the Engagement Mining program can maintain their Partner list as they see fit, as this requirement only applies for Engagement Mining. Engagement and discussion around contributions (posts, comments, etc) can also be considered as part of the contribution itself. Even a simple post with a link to a video, article, etc could be considered a top contribution if it sparks meaningful engagement and discussion relevant to the board's topic & goals. There are many ways to contribute to a board, and contributors of many kinds are considered. Some ways to contribute to a board include: - Publishing quality, on-topic posts - Creating meaningful comments that spark discussion - Sharing engaging content that sparks meaningful discussion (relevant links/articles/videos about the boardâs topic) - Creating useful tools, exceptional designs, or other notable contributions Please remember that only top contributors for the board will be invited to become a Partner, and being invited to become a Partner is not guaranteed. Partners who fail to meet these requirements, or those who abuse their status, will be removed from the program. If you have nay questions or doubts feel free to DM me or comment down below..
