"Be grateful in spite of your suffering."
Dankjewel! Thank you very much! Arigatou gozaimashita!
When learning languages, it's a shift of worldview, a key to connectivity with a new universe of human culture. But it's good to balance the intellect, and enjoyment; the (Pimsleur Language Programs philosophy is the best IMHO). The first thing I learn is to say "hello". Next, I learn to say "thanks". Then I learn how to ask "where is the bathroom?"
Some useful, relevant axioms pertaining to wiki editing and edit conflicts:
- "Make at least one thing better every single place you go."
- "If you have to choose, be the one who does things, instead of the one who is seen to do things."
- "Assume that the person you are listening to might know something you need to know. Listen to them hard enough so that they will share it with you."
Brain dump for focus
For wikipedia, initial interests are on authors and creatives of other media.
Authors primarily within education, mental health, science.
Particularly local-focussed creators.
An over-arching list of interested topics:
- media entertainment and technology,
- education
- psychology
- environment
- horticulture.
GOOD ARTICLES - social sciences and society, education
Translation between wikipedia languages
Good Article + Educator + Living
