WHY does a human only breathe through one nostril?
Roughly every 4 hours, there is a change in the "lead" nostril.
This phenomenon has a name: the nasal cycle. Namely, the two parts of the nose are able to change the resistance of the mucosa in response to the air flow passing through them. That's possible due to the special structure of the blood vessels in the nose. The cavernous body swells, blocking the passage of air, or, conversely, shrinks in size.

Life is not a road map, society and cultures around the world have repeatedly told us what they expect of us from birth:
Schooling, work, marriage, parenthood, family settlement and retirement.
But life is not linear; it doesn't always go as planned.
The circumstances and realities of life can make it difficult for many people to meet some of these expectations. Plus people want different things.
This is why it's unethical to pressure or shame anyone for struggling or for making choices that are out of norm. Pressure creates comparison and it leads people to feel left behind in life.
Don't let anyone sell you the map to their expectations. Write your own story, create your own map.
● No matter how stuck you feel.
● No matter how bad things are right now.
● No matter how many days you've spent crying.
● No matter how hopeless and depressed you feel.
● No matter how many days you've spent wishing things were different.

WHY and how did Theodore Roosevelt address the voters for an hour and a half with a bullet in his chest?
When Theodore Roosevelt was running for president in 1912, he was shot during one of his meetings with voters. The bullet hit him in the chest, penetrating his eyeglass case and the thick 50-page manuscript of the speech he wanted to give.
But Roosevelt stayed in place - he drew the audience's attention to the fact that he had just been shot and then spoke for an hour and a half. His hunting experience helped him to realize that the wound was not life-threatening - since he wasn't coughing up blood, the bullet hadn't pierced a lung.
It was later confirmed that the bullet had entered his chest at 76 mm, but it was even riskier to remove it than to leave it as it was, and Roosevelt wore it all his life.
