We cannot predict the future. Any little uncertainty gets amplified exponentially by chaos,” says Francesco Ginelli at the University of Aberdeen, UK

CHAOS
The weather is a case in point because tiny differences in starting conditions, such as in air pressure or temperature, grow exponentially over time to cause wildly different outcomes. If throwing a ball were like this, a launch angle of 30 degrees might arrive at catching height for your friend, while an angle of 30.00000001 degrees might land the ball on the moon. Mathematicians call this chaos.
Fibonacci sequence, that list of numbers where the next digit is given by adding the previous two. It goes 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13 and so on. But here’s something strange: work out the ratio of each number and its predecessor, and you start edging towards a specific number. Its first few digits are 1.618.

SNACK
My favorite high protein snack is a hard boiled egg. They are easy to prepare if you cook several at a time and they are exceptionally easy to store, although cooked eggs only stay fresh for one week in the refrigerator. One large hard-boiled egg provides 6 grams of protein.
If you're watching your saturated fat intake, you can eat hard boiled eggs without the yolk. I like the taste of egg whites, so I eat them plain. But you can also add a scoop of homemade hummus (more protein!) for extra flavor.
Technology has a crucial role to play in this transition, but its power must be harnessed and mastered for ecological restoration and social evolution. We could use the mass media and the Internet to retool the human population, on a global scale, in ecological practices, such as rooftop gardening, rainwater harvesting, composting, ways to produce renewable energy from biodigestors or solar heaters. We could repurpose the engineering genius which created the Internet and the smart phone to build wilderness corridors, rapidly replant forests, reverse ocean acidification, use natural bioremediation techniques on watersheds and wetlands, and so on.

Perhaps, the discovery of fossil fuels under the Earth — stored reservoirs of millions of years of ancient sunlight — was a one-time bequest to humanity. This stored sunlight gave us the power to construct a global civilization. This power also has blinded us. It prevented us from reckoning with the negative consequences of our behavior patterns, which included the urge to dominate and control natural processes, as well as human societies.

You've probably experienced that moment of gratitude for an event in your life that you originally perceived as negative — failing that exam, losing your job, ending a long-term relationship. And when you're able to appreciate and own your failures, you're able to learn and grow from them.

"In life, you will realize there is a role for everyone you meet. Some will test you, some will use you, some will love you, and some will teach you. But the ones who are truly important are the ones who bring out the best in you. They are the rare and amazing people who remind you why it's worth it." -- Author Unknown
