If clockwise, then you use more of the right side of the brain and vice versa.

Most of us would see the dancer turning anti-clockwise though you can try to focus and change the direction; see if you can do it.

Right ear - left brain

As far as we know, people don't tend to use or prefer one ear over the other.

But that's not to say that both ears hear in the same way. It's well known that the left side of the brain specializes in processing rapidly changing sounds, like speech. The right brain handles drawn out sounds, like music.

But until recently, scientists assumed that the way the brain processes sound had nothing to do with our ears, that they were simply conduits channeling sounds indiscriminately to the brain. Now, recent studies have shown that our ears play a more active role. In fact, sound processing seems to begin in the ears. And since the right ear channels sound to the left-brain, it's the right ear that’s strongest in processing speech like sounds. The left ear, meanwhile, is dominant for music and similar sounds.

We still use both ears to hear a variety of sounds, of course. But precisely how we hear particular sounds depends on which ear they enter.

You amaze me!

I must admit you amaze me! I was wearing my "mask" this morning and you said: "when I look with the right eye I see a Poker Face and when I look with the left eye I see a Joker Face". I must admit I was soo amazed by your wisdom, intelligence and wit all at the same time that I just couldn't help but open up. And what happened after...incredible.

Show feelings and get hurt or wear a mask?

Nice weather, nice person, you go out for a walk and are your natural self, it's nice and you get comfortable and could get used to this feeling. Suddenly, unexpectedly this someone starts playing by himself in the sand and as a by-product, throwing sand in your eyes, you are hurt. But they say, what's your problem, they just need time alone, can't spend all the time with you, they need their space, they need to breathe. That's all logical, you think, so would you, you think. However next time you go out for a walk with this person, you were sunglasses, or a protective mask. Your real, vulnerable you is not there anymore. Even if they don't throw sand at you, you it has been thrown at you several times so now you are armed with all your defenses. You cannot be hurt, but you cannot have as much fun you had before either, because the glasses are limiting you, you cannot freely express your feelings. And now what? You either express your feelings openly and risk being thrown sand at or you wear your mask but you are not as free and natural as you were? Let me mention that the mask idea is one not everyone would come up with. It is an art in itself to be able to wear it.

If sb else wrote this, I would just say: go find a friend who doesn't throw sand in your eyes, if you can't be your real self with him, then find sb you can be. But this is me. What do I do?

Don't cry because it's over.

Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened.

Love editing my book!

Reading it, editing, can't wait to print it! Imagining my friend Alessandro reading this and saying: "Oh cazzo!". Makes me super happy :)

You must follow your dream!

When a child has a dream and a parent says, "It's not financially feasible; you can't make a living at that; don't do it," we say to the child, run away from home... You must follow your dream. You will never be joyful if you don't. Your dream may change, but you've got to stay after your dreams. You have to.
