  Richard Wurmbrand, born on March 24, 1909, was a Romanian Christian minister of Jewish descent. He was a youth during a time of anti-Semitic activity in Romania, but it was later, after becoming a believer in Jesus Christ as Messiah, and daring to publicly say that Communism and Christianity were not compatible, that he experienced imprisonment and torture for his beliefs. After serving five years of a second prison sentence, he was ransomed for $10,000. After spending time in Norway and England, he and his wife Sabina, who had also been imprisoned, emigrated to America and dedicated the rest of their lives to publicizing and helping Christians who are persecuted for their beliefs. He wrote more than eighteen books, translated into more than 60 languages, the most widely known being "Tortured for Christ." He founded the international organization, Voice Of The Martyrs, which aids Christians around the world who are persecuted for their faith. Wurmbrand died on February 17, 2001. Recording obtained and published by Rick Sheridan.

  How Does Intuition Work?

  Intuition is a phenomenon that offers people the ability to know something instinctively without adopting analytical thought, striking a balance between human mind's conscious and unconscious components, as well as between intuition and intent. Human disconcert is founded on centuries of social bias with the notion of focusing on intuition.  
  In the age of big data, it might seem like a subterfuge or inadequate process to rely on intuition what others consider spirit, instinct, a sixth sense, or a gut feeling. But according to a study of high-level executives, most business pioneers take advantage of their experiences and feelings when coping with challenges. And despite appearances, intuition is not an unconventional term specifically reserved for the realm of self-elating emotion. In reality, there is a neurological foundation for it. 
  When one understands intuition oriented science and how ideas can be affected, he can decide more readily when it is better to go with the gut feeling and when it is better to look at available data.

  The End of Average - How We...

  Are you above average? Is your child an A student? Is your employee an introvert or an extrovert? Every day we are measured against the yardstick of averages, judged according to how closely we come to it or how far we deviate from it. 
  The assumption that metrics comparing us to an average—like GPAs, personality test results, and performance review ratings—reveal something meaningful about our potential is so ingrained in our consciousness that we don’t even question it. That assumption, says Harvard’s Todd Rose, is spectacularly—and scientifically—wrong. 
  In The End of Average, Rose, a rising star in the new field of the science of the individual shows that no one is average. Not you. Not your kids. Not your employees. This isn’t hollow sloganeering—it’s a mathematical fact with enormous practical consequences. But while we know people learn and develop in distinctive ways, these unique patterns of behaviors are lost in our schools and businesses which have been designed around the mythical “average person.” This average-size-fits-all model ignores our differences and fails at recognizing talent. It’s time to change it. 
  Weaving science, history, and his personal experiences as a high school dropout, Rose offers a powerful alternative to understanding individuals through averages: the three principles of individuality. The jaggedness principle (talent is always jagged), the context principle (traits are a myth), and the pathways principle (we all walk the road less traveled) help us understand our true uniqueness—and that of others—and how to take full advantage of individuality to gain an edge in life. 
  Read this powerful manifesto in the ranks of Drive, Quiet, and Mindset—and you won’t see averages or talent in the same way again.

  The Inevitable Revolution

  "Men should believe in the law of love in the same way that they now believe in the inevitability of violence."
  
  The Inevitable Revolution (1909) is one of Tolstoy's last major works of non-fiction, focusing on themes of civil disobedience, pacifism, and anarchism. The author criticises prisons, parliaments, wars, conscription, capitalism, theft, revolutionary violence, and taxes, while praising the message of love found in Christianity and acknowledging similar teachings in other religions. He believes that adherence to the law of love offers practical solutions to the societal issues he critiques and essentially calls for a moral awakening among individuals to live non-violently and to not condone violence in any form.
  
  This essay serves as a profound reflection of Tolstoy's later philosophical views and its discussions on non-violence and ethical living continue to resonate today.
  Leo Tolstoy (1828–1910) was a Russian novelist, philosopher, and social reformer, widely regarded as one of the greatest writers of all time. He is best known for his epic novels War and Peace and Anna Karenina, both celebrated for their intricate character development and profound exploration of moral dilemmas and human nature. In his later years, Tolstoy experienced a spiritual awakening which led him to reject materialism and embrace a life of simplicity, seeking to align his life with his beliefs about non-violence and compassion. Tolstoy's legacy endures not only through his literary masterpieces but also through his profound impact on literature and philosophy.

  Queen Dido: The History and...

  Carthage was one of the great ancient civilizations, and at its peak, the wealthy Carthaginian empire dominated the Mediterranean against the likes of Greece and Rome, with commercial enterprises and influence stretching from Spain to Turkey. In fact, at several points in history it had a very real chance of replacing the fledgling Roman empire or the failing Greek poleis (city-states) altogether as master of the Mediterranean. Although Carthage by far preferred to exert economic pressure and influence before resorting to direct military power (and even went so far as to rely primarily on mercenary armies paid with its vast wealth for much of its history. 
  	Despite the enmity towards Carthage held by the Greeks and Romans, they nevertheless spent centuries romanticizing and mythologizing its legendary founder, Queen Dido. It’s an established fact that the Phoenicians established a maritime empire with Tyre at the forefront in the early 1st millennium BCE, and from that, the ancients believed that a Phoenician princess named Elisa fled Tyre to North Africa after her brother killed her husband, where she managed to negotiate with local leaders for land and secure the site of Carthage, becoming Queen Dido in the process. The Romans eventually took it further by tying Troy and Carthage to Rome’s legendary founding, with Virgil’s Aeneid claiming Dido had a torrid romance with Aeneas after the Greeks sacked Troy. Ever since, Dido has been the subject of countless works of art over the past 2,000 years and counting.  
  	The story and legends of Queen Dido are among the most remarkable in antiquity, so it’s little surprise that modern historians have sought to uncover the truth, specifically whether Dido actually existed. Though she has long been dismissed as purely mythological and certainly never met Aeneas, some evidence suggests a queen truly did settle Carthage, and the settlement ultimately grew into a magnificent metropolis that quickly outshone its Phoenician roots.
