Join 📚 Roger's Highlights
A batch of the best highlights from what roger's read, .
As an intern, I was taught that when patients thank us, it helps to remind them that they did the hard work. It’s all you, we tend to say. I was just here to guide you. And in a sense, that’s true. The fact that they picked up the phone and decided to come to therapy and then work through things every week is something no one else could do for them. But we’re also taught something else that we can’t really understand until we’ve done thousands of hours of sessions: We grow in connection with others. Everyone needs to hear that other person’s voice saying, I believe in you. I can see possibilities that you might not see quite yet. I imagine that something different can happen, in some form or another. In therapy we say, Let’s edit your story.
Maybe You Should Talk to Someone

Fontanella taught me something else, too. He pinpointed the release as the most important aspect of shooting. Therefore, which fingers leave the ball last is critical. For him, that was his middle and ring fingers, which was different than what the experts taught. I tested it and found it worked quite well. Learning of an entirely different shooting method caused me to question everything I had previously learned about shooting a basketball. It was a watershed moment.

More important than acquiring new subjects or building his reputation as the defender of persecuted religions, the victory over the Black Khitan gave Genghis Khan complete control over the Silk Route between the Chinese and the Muslims. He now had vassal states among the Tangut, the Uighurs, the Black Khitan, and the northern Jurched lands; and although he controlled neither the primary production area of the Sung dynasty nor the primary purchasing areas in the Middle East, he controlled the links between. With his control over large amounts of Chinese trade goods, he saw tremendous opportunities for trade with the Muslim countries of central Asia and the Middle East.
