Explication du texte le lièvre et la tortue : 

Le Lièvre se vantait d’être, de tous les animaux,
Le plus rapide à la course.
Il s’apitoyait avec mépris sur la Tortue
à cause de sa lenteur.
Un jour, la Tortue le provoqua en disant :
« Si tu faisais la course avec moi,
Tu serais sûrement perdant. »
Le Lièvre s’en amusa,
Et comme il était de bonne humeur ce jour-là,
Il décida de relever le défi.
Peu après le départ,
Le Lièvre eut déjà une confortable avance.
Il ne voulut pas se fatiguer plus longtemps,
Et il s’installa confortablement au bord du chemin
pour se reposer.
Peu après, il s’endormit.
Quand il se réveilla,
Il s’affola et courut droit au but...
Pour y trouver la Tortue qui l’attendait.
Elle ne s’était pas attardée
Et elle avait suivi son chemin droit jusqu’au but.
C’est ainsi qu’elle se retrouva grande gagnante.

Today I will be discussing a topic that I found very interesting, and I hope you do to, It is something I have started doing and I definitely feel the positive effects. Today I am discussing grounding at first, this may sound a little woo-woo. But the science behind earthing and grounding is compelling: The earth is abundant in free electrons (negatively charged) that when connected to the body can help neutralize free radicals, providing antioxidant and immune-boosting properties

Grounding also called earthing, is a therapeutic technique that involves doing activities that “ground” or electrically reconnect you to the earth for various health benefits.
We walked barefoot and we slept in contact with the Earth never realizing that its surface contained limitless, natural, healing energy. Walking around barefoot is not our main mode of travel any longer. We live indoors much of the time and when we do walk or run outside, we wear rubber-soled shoes which prevent our feet from being able to absorb the Earth's subtle energy. Rubber is not conductive, but our bodies are!

because if people think you are too sharp, they will bring you down very fast."
