As you grow up you watch movies, and since most movies are about Americans, you start to picture the USA as this idol of a country.
So you learn from these American heroes, from their ideals, courage, values and lessons these movies try to teach.
And you create a picture that the USA is the greatest country in the world because of what these movie characters stand for, because of their spirit.
And yes, if USA integrated the values of these heroes it would really be one of the greatest countries in the world.
But if it did, if it really was the country founded on the values of the heroes we watched growing up, it would never assume it’s the greatest country in the world.
Because these heroes, they did not stood for some imaginary competition. What they stood for was something else entirely.
Some stood for unity, some for love, some showed us how to face our fears even when we are most afraid. But all of them stood for what’s right.
And what’s right is not that one country is the greatest, that’s just food for the ego, a shallow fragment of what the whole picture can be.
The right and honest thing is that no country is the greatest in the world. All countries have something special and beautiful about them, and all countries have some flaws.
Some have better food, others have beautiful sceneries. All countries have something to offer.
But to see this we have to accept that the world is not a competition. That we are all in this ship together.
And just as there are no better people, there are no better countries. We are all unique in a personal way.
There is no way to measure who’s better on a level of humanity. There are no parameters you can use. How would you know the measurement units when you are a human yourself?
We all have different stories, we all have different flaws and talents, different lessons to teach and different fruits to give. Just as every country, town and village.
Every country has a history, a culture and a spirit that can teach us something we don’t know. What the spirit represents is what matters.
Competing with each other with an intent to step over each other is not what the heroes stood for.
It’s not about what country is the best country in the world, it’s about sharing what each country it’s the best at with the world.
We all have one home. All we have in the great vastness of The Universe is each other. It’s about helping our fellow humans and giving a hand when we can.
It’s about sharing what’s very best within us with the world. Making the world a bit better and happier with a talent we have, no matter how small.
We can all strive to be great, but not with an intent to be better than each other, but to be better for each other.
This is a scene from a TV Show where a man is asked why is America the greatest country in the world. What he says is the most honest answer to this question I have ever heard.
The most honest answer to the question “Why Is America The Greatest Country In The World”:
One provoking situation can be enough to make you angry throughout your whole day. In order to avoid complicating things, you need to return to your happy place.
Yet, when you’re still having angry thoughts, you just can’t command your mind to change channels quickly. Things don’t happen that way.
There must be a cooling down period before you can keep your mind in total peace and raise your vibes.
To do so, the following 3 techniques might be of help to you:
1. Look at a picture of someone you love.
Probably, you’re keeping a picture of your loved one in your wallet or phone. They might be your significant other, your child, your pet, or your favorite object.
It can also be a picture of a breathtaking landscape, as long as it makes you feel good and powerful. Gaze at this picture for two or more minutes until you feel your mind calming.
When you’re feeling positive again and vibrating higher, the situation which causes you anger can no longer affect you that much.
2. Take five second count breaths.
Another good strategy to calm your mind after getting upset is taking the five second count breaths.
As you inhale slowly, count from 1 up to 5. Hold your breath for five seconds. Upon the exhale, count from 1 up to 5 again. Repeat this process until your mind calms down.
This process also works in stressful situations where your mind starts to get frantic. Doing this slows your heart rate, making your mind to calm down.
3. Watch a funny video.
A funny video might be what you need when you’re upset. Laughter may not only be a good medicine but a good antidote for angry feelings too.
You can select from a lot of funny videos on YouTube or watch funny shows on TV. Having a good laugh just raises your vibration automatically.
And you might be just one video away from feeling happy again. Especially if the video includes babies.
You Can’t Be Angry After Watching These Cute Babies:
Just like any other emotions, anger should not be suppressed nor avoided. Get angry when you have to but let it not get the best out of you. When you do the following strategies after a bout with anger, keeping your good vibes would never be a problem.
According to biologists, longevity is the average lifespan expected under ideal conditions. How we define the ‘ideal conditions’ may vary from person to person.
Some may say genetics may account for it. But even if your ancestors didn’t live longer, it doesn’t mean you’ll do the same.
Genetics can only provide you a maximum of 30% of your life expectancy. The rest is all up to you.
The other components are under your control, like behaviors, environment, diet and lifestyle.
While a lot of centenarians claimed diet, exercise, and a healthy lifestyle contributed to their longevity, other people completely shatter these theories.
One of them is this 125 old man from Lebanon who smokes cigarettes every day for over 80 years.
He is so energetic and agile, he cooks, chops wood, walks two miles per day and has a 7 year old son.
He has been married two times, his first wife died after living with her for 70 years, and 7 children. He lives with his second wife.
His advice for health and longevity is to eat healthy and qualty food, to avoid what’s unhealthy and to have a discipline.
“The secret is in the type and quality of food and eating discipline. I eat as much as I need, don’t go near food that contains ingredients that I don’t know and stay away from manufactured oils sold on the market. Pure olive oil, honey and goat ghee are an elixir for good health and long life and should be at the heart of all meals,”
125 Year Old Man Shares His “Magic Tea” Recipe:
Another secret that he shares with us is his special “magic tea” that he claims can make a dead man stand up.
The recipe for this special tea is a mixture of carob, thyme, quinoa, and anise, put in hot boiling water.
Whether you approach longevity from a medical or holistic point of view, the act of doing the things that you believe will work best for you is the key.
Here are 7 science backed tips to help you be healthier and increase your longevity. Follow the ones you think are best for you because it all comes down to your unique needs.
7 Science Based Tips For Health And Longevity:
1. Having a daily supplementation of natural anti inflammatories.
A high concentration of triglycerides in the blood elevates the risk of stroke. One way to manage this is by taking daily supplements of curcumin combined with diet and exercise, which is said to reduce the risk by up to 60%.
Curcumin is also found to have anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative effects. Omega 3s are found to be another effective anti-inflammatory.
Dr. Alfred D. Steinberg, who is an arthritis expert said that fish oil acts directly on the immune system and suppresses the release of cytokines, which destroys the joints by 40 to 55%.
2. Consuming high fiber and fermented foods.
A healthy gut is another important factor in extending one’s life. The gut bacteria has the ability to detect different types of diseases, such as diabetes and others.
To have a healthy gut, you must consume foods that are high in fiber.
Fermented foods that are found to reduce digestive issues and other conditions include doenjang, chungkookjang, kimchi, kombucha, miso, tempeh, pickles, fermented seafood, makgeolli, and beer.
3. A daily meditation practice.
Because of its calming benefits, meditation is almost always included in all undertakings concerning the health.
Meditation supports the mental, emotional, and physical health.
It is also linked to several studies like enhancing telomeres activity, strengthening the cardiovascular system, and contributing much to our wellness.
4. Committing to intermittent fasting.
MIT biologists said that age related loss of stem cell function can be reversed by a 24 hour fast.
Some studies even show that after periods of fasting, insulin suggests cells to take up glucose from the blood.
In intermittent fasting, the body uses fat as its primary source of energy instead of sugar. Its benefits include improving the immune system, regulating inflammatory conditions, and stopping cancer cell formation. Thereby helping you to lengthen your lifespan.
5. Following an interval training regimen.
Cardiovascular fitness is one of the secrets to longevity.
Studies have shown that interval training is the best one to take because it lowers the risk of metabolic syndrome through recruiting new muscle fibers and increasing the body’s ability to use fuel.
According to Jason L. Talanian, the study’s lead author and an exercise scientist at the University of Guelph, the ability of the heart and lungs to supply oxygen to working muscles is improved by 13 percent.
6. Taking NAC, Glutathione and a daily dose of Vitamin D.
The human body converts the N acetylcysteine into an amino acid called cysteine, which helps synthesize glutathione, one of the body’s natural antioxidants and detoxifiers. NAC is also found to protect against a variety of health problems. In a study, researchers found mushrooms to have high amounts of glutathione that boosts the immune system and fights against cancer.
A lack of vitamin D increases the chances of diseases by more than 1000 percent. Researchers discovered that Vitamin D is active in cells, tissues, and bones and controls a large number of genes that are associated with cancer, autoimmune disease, and infection.
Additionally, Vitamin D prevents genetic damage. Hence, it’s important to expose yourself to sunshine to get your daily dose of Vitamin D. In places where the sun doesn’t regularly shine, taking Vitamin D supplements is encouraged.
7. Decreasing calorie consumption.
A decreased calorie consumption is found to triple the lifespan.
In one study using animals as test subjects, 30% of the animals are found to die at an advanced age without age related causes.
Other studies show that people in some cultures have an increased lifespan due to their diets. As you age, your metabolism becomes slower. By eating less, you’re helping your digestive system to reduce its work.
Living your life into a ripe old age should never be complicated. If you can do most of what’s listed above, coupled with a simplistic lifestyle, you will certainly give your best chance of living into the age you desire to have.
The human brain is extremely complicated and the power of your subconscious mind goes beyond your imagination.
Having a huge capacity to store everything that happens to you, you can remember with perfect clarity all these things under hypnosis even at fifty years old.
The main function of the subconscious mind is to store and retrieve data. It also ensures you respond as exactly as how you’re programmed.
While all these seem powerful enough, there are still a lot more your subconscious mind has the capacity to do.
Here is an interesting trick that will give you a glimpse of how powerful your subconscious mind is:
The good news is, you still hold the power to turn your life around by harnessing the power of your subconscious mind.
Here are 13 interesting facts about your subconscious mind:
1. Your subconscious mind runs your life 95% of the time, according to experts.
Look back on your life and notice how you operate it on autopilot.
2. Your subconscious mind doesn’t use verbal language.
Instead, it uses symbols and associations to store and communicate thoughts, ideas, and concepts.
3. Your subconscious mind is responsible for your gut instinct.
Even without your awareness, it continues to work, making you feel uneasy when it detects danger.
4. Your subconscious mind creates your habits.
If you wish to alter some of your habits, work with your subconscious mind first.
5. Your subconscious mind takes everything literally.
You can interpret or analyze information with your conscious mind and never with the unconscious.
6. Your subconscious mind couldn’t differentiate between what’s real and what’s imagined.
It doesn’t recognize the line between the two.
7. Your subconscious mind records everything you do and experience and makes permanent memories of them.
You can access this information with clarity through hypnosis.
8. Your subconscious mind is one million times more powerful than your conscious mind.
Staying present helps you to access its power.
9. Your subconscious mind sees to it that you stay in your comfort zone.
It keeps you grounded on your self limiting beliefs.
10. Your subconscious mind is powerful when trained to stay in the present.
It can give you clarity of focus, making you feel powerful.

When you do so, you’ll discover the enormous success you can get by programming your mind to it.
13. Your subconscious mind communicates with you through your dreams.
It provides signs and symbols to convey specific messages. You will understand yourself more deeply when you give attention to these details.
How To Reprogram Your Subconscious Mind For Positivity:
Your subconscious mind may be powerful but it is led mostly by your consciousness, it follows what your conscious mind tells it.
So, if you want to dramatically change the direction of your life, do so by reprogramming your subconscious mind.
From what we have stated in fact number twelve, your subconscious mind can be trained through repetition. This is exactly how you do it.
Using affirmations or mantra repeatedly hundreds of times can give you amazing results. The Buddhists used beads in chanting their mantra 108 times.
This enables the words to penetrate your subconscious mind. In using affirmations, these three must be present: a concise choice of positive words, clear visualization, and a corresponding feeling.
1. Concise choice of positive words.
Choose the words that you feel strongly about. For example, you say I love apples. Your subconscious mind recognizes the I as you.
When you say love, your mind knows it’s something your mind enjoys and likes. But when you say apple it starts to get confused.
The word apple may mean a lot of things. It could mean a green apple, red apple, or Apple devices.
It could mean anything that is stored in your mind’s hard drive. Here is how visualization gets into the picture.
2. Clear visualization.
By visualizing a red apple, your mind recognizes that it’s exactly what you mean.
3. Corresponding feeling.
Feeling is emotion and emotion is energy. Everything is made up of energy that’s vibrating at a certain frequency.
If your mind creates a pattern that vibrates at a certain frequency, it will attract the nature of things that are vibrating in the same frequency.
When you use all these things to reprogram your subconscious mind, you will certainly achieve the success you have been aiming for.
“My supreme acknowledgment to Mother Nature and her many creations whose life forms have passed through the lab and revealed through my curious mind their often hidden capabilities.” — Cleve Backster
If you have a curious mind, you’re open to exploring unfamiliar territories. And when your curiosity is aimed at nature, you may get the greatest surprise in your lifetime.
How Cleve Backster discovered that a plant can read his mind:
One fateful morning in February of 1966, Cleve Backster didn’t expect that his curiosity could lead him to alter humanity’s perception of plants, forever.
Grover Cleveland Backster Jr., an interrogation specialist in the CIA who founded the CIA’s polygraph unit, knows that a polygraph or lie detector can measure electrical resistance.
So out of curiosity, he attached the device in one of the leaves of the Dracaena plant sitting in the room to see if he could get a response when the plant is subjected to stress.
He wanted to think of ways how to stress the plant. So he thought of burning a match with the intent of burning a leaf.
No sooner than the thought came, the tracing started to show a pattern corresponding to the response you get when a human is subjected to an emotional stimulation.
Backster was immensely surprised to find out how the plant reacted to his sly thoughts and if they were really able to read his mind.
Inspired by this occurrence, he spent the rest of his life studying the ability of plants to communicate with and read their environments, and their reactions to living things.
But this was not the first time this kind of experiment happened:
In 1848, the German experimental psychologist Gustav Fechner, suggested that plants are capable of emotions and they respond positively to talk, attention, attitude, and affection.
In the 1900’s, Indian scientist Jagadish Chandra Bose began experimenting plants and invented devices and instruments that can measure the plant’s electrical responses.
Out of his extensive research, Bose hypothesized that plants can feel pain, understand affection, and demonstrate other sensory abilities.
Because Backster’s polygraph experiment confirmed Bose’s findings, the polygraph expert concluded that plants have the ability to communicate through telepathy.
This theory, which he termed as “Primary Perception”, was tested over and over again and was widely reported as highly plausible.
However, the scientific community rejected it, despite the countless researches and evidence showing that plants, somehow, react when you think doing bad things to them.
Even Myth Busters tried to test this myth, approaching it really skeptical, and being mind boggled by the results of their experiment.
Why was his work rejected by the scientific community:
When Backster’s work gained public acclaim, the scientific community criticized it for lack of repeatability.
The researchers who tried to replicate his experiments lacked the honest intention factor, thus, they didn’t get the expected results.
Backster defended that plants were quite sophisticated, reacting only to authentic and emotionally backed intentions.
As this disagreement continued for decades, only a little progress was made. In a recent interview Backster commented:
“I have file drawers full of high quality anecdotal data showing time and again how bacteria, plants, and so on are all fantastically in tune with each other. Human cells, too, have this primary perception capability, but somehow it’s gotten lost at the conscious level. Or perhaps we never had such a talent.
“I suspect that when a person is spiritually advanced enough to handle such perceptions, she or he will become properly tuned in. Until then it might be best not to be tuned in, because of the damage we could cause by mishandling the received information.”
A new study that could give a crucial link for all the evidence:
Backster and Bose’s experiments could have come to a halt until a recent study was published in the scientific journal, Biomed Central Ecology.
The researchers gathered evidence that plants do communicate with each other with the use of nano mechanical sound waves.
The authors of the study proposed that the biochemical process within the plants’ cells produces acoustic or vibrational signals.
This signals are then used to communicate with each other in both spatial and environmental information. This can explain what Backster detected in his first experiment.
Nevertheless, despite the lack of support from the mainstream science, Backster found advocates from the metaphysical community who believed in his work.
He claimed that there is really a life force, a cosmic energy surrounding all living things, and that we are all connected through a conscious field of thoughts.
Nature is a brotherhood we all share. It’s a network in which each living organism needs the others, in a direct or an indirect way, to function and evolve.
According to Cleve Backster’s work a lot more things are conscious:
“Your talent is God’s gift to you. What you do with it is your gift back to God.” — Leo Buscaglia
Each of us come into this world with natural gifts and talents, whether it be in arts, music, science or in athletics. Some may know it earlier and display it as they get older.
While most of us have a child’s eagerness of showing off our talents, there are some who hone their talents in silence.
Fame or greatness doesn’t interest these people. They just do something for the love of doing it.
Others might play an instrument just so they can relieve some pain, stress, or quench the feelings of missingness for people close to them.
But what they do not know is that these passions, that relieve their stress, could be the very things that turn their lives around.
Brandon Lewis’ story is one of these. No one knew in the Air Force that he could sing, play guitar or even write songs.
On his last day in service, amidst the teases of his fellow airmen, Brandon rendered them a song that he originally wrote and played the guitar along with it.
One of the airmen took a video of him and uploaded it on Reddit. Hours later, it went viral and Brandon’s career in music kicked off.
Watch the video below and be inspired by how just one honest song at the right time changed the life of Brandon Lewis.
On His Last Day In The Army He Takes The Guitar And Surprises The World:
Our story may not be the same as that of Brandon Lewis’ but we need to hone our innate skills to give the world the gifts we have.
The best way that we can serve the world is by being our true and authentic selves and sharing whatever gift we have, no matter how small we think it is.
This often lies in our passions and talents, which are the activities that we love doing to an extent that we lose track of time.
Each of us has a place within filled with wonder, excitement and love. Following the things that evoke these things in us will lead us to the gift we can give to the world.
That’s what passions are made of. There’s no need for us to look outside ourselves and shape ourselves to fit into what we think the world needs. No.
We already have what the world needs according to the talents endowed on us the day we were born.
Oftentimes, we don’t notice it because for us it’s natural but for others, it’s unbelievably amazing.
Just like Brandon Lewis, he never knew how good he was until other people took notice and were awe struck by his talents.
When your talent is fueled by your passions, you can do amazing things. Passion keeps you going in turbulent times.
It’s this inner fire that fuels you to get past your limits and push yourself forward through your barriers that prevent you from unlocking your true potential.
Your passion ignites a spark in your spirit. And when it happens, you simply can’t contain it in yourself, you expand and share it with others.
This is what life is all about. When you’ve discovered your passion and become great at it, you will inspire others to do the same.
And the world is no longer the same solely because of what you do. That’s how you change the world, by unapologetically following your heart.
“You can fail at what you don’t want. So, you might as well take a chance on doing what you love.” — Jim Carrey
In a world dominated by glamour and materialism, spiritual awakening might be the least we can expect from Hollywood celebrities. But one awakened soul proved us wrong.
Jim Carrey stepped forward to share about his spiritual awakening, but the world wasn’t prepared to receive it. Some even labeled him crazy.
This reaction is normal since we are conditioned to hardly accept what we can’t truly understand.
However, Jim Carrey is greatly revered by the spiritual community. He is only being true to his calling, nothing more, nothing less.
He is constantly spreading awareness and sharing spiritual truths, even in interviews he doesn’t need to, just to help awaken our spiritually primitive world.
One situation that made Jim Carrey famous, aside from his comedy stint, is his firm belief in the Law of Attraction.
He recalled that prior to his acting career, he wrote himself a check with the amount of ten million dollars for “acting services rendered”, dating it ten years in the future.
True enough, ten years later, it became a reality. Jim Carrey daydreamed of success and imagined himself entertaining people.
At 28 years old, after a decade of being a professional comedian, Jim realized that his purpose in life has always been to free people from their concern just like his dad.
And with his spiritual awakening, his purpose goes even deeper than that. He shares deep wisdom and addresses tough philosophical concepts throughout his videos.
Jim Carrey is sharing the following spiritual truths with the world:
1. “Your need for acceptance can make you invisible in this world.”
2. “So many of us choose our path out of fear disguised as practicality. What we really want seems impossibly out of reach so we never dare to ask The Universe for it. I’m the proof that you can ask The Universe for it.”
3. “I think everybody should get rich and famous and do everything they ever dreamed of so they can see that it’s not the answer.”
4. “No matter what we take seriously, it doesn’t matter.”
5. “There is a soul and it includes everything. And you wake up in the morning and you feel like, I’m The Universe. Let life happen.”
6. “Depression only happens when you don’t accept what is and when you’re playing a character in life.”
7. “Life opens up opportunities to you, and you either take them or you stay afraid of taking them.”
8. “Life doesn’t happen to you. It happens for you.”
9. “I’m making sound, and that’s the important thing, that’s what I’m here to do. Sometimes I think that’s the important thing really… letting each other know we’re here. Reminding each other that we’re part of a larger Self.”
10. “I have no limits. I can’t be contained because I’m the container.”
All Of Jim Carrey Epic Spiritual Moments Caught On Camera:
Trees have an energy. In fact, tree hugging has become a popular practice because of the countless benefits from their energies.
But do they have feelings? They do, according to Peter Wohlleben, a forester at Eifel Mountains in West Germany.
And not just feelings, they communicate with each other constantly through what some call the “Wood Wide Web” or Tree Internet.
Like most of us, Peter used to look at tress as nothing more than a good source of lumber. They plant trees, cut them, then plant young trees again.
Yet, after having some conversations with tourists, Peter’s view of the forest changed. He started to see trees as they are and even noticed how they “feel”.
His observations were not mere assumptions. They’re backed by researchers, specifically from the RWTH Aachen University, who conducted studies in the forest he managed.
12 Astonishing Facts That Prove Trees Have Feelings:
1. Trees help each other stay alive.
Just like a human community, trees help each other to survive.
Some trees that might have fallen around five hundred years ago and still live with the aid of the surrounding trees of the same species.
The other trees that surround the fallen tree usually pump sugar into its stump to keep it alive. They do it by surrounding their roots at the stump, then pump sugar into it.
2. Trees work together to establish a sustainable ecosystem.
It’s quite impossible for a tree to protect itself against the wind and weather when it’s alone. But when they work together, sharing their own food and looking out for each one, they can create an ecosystem where all of them survive and thrive.
Together, they can stand against the changes in temperatures, store enough water for the dry season, generate much humidity, and may even withstand floods and strong weather.
Trees that grow in this kind of environment have the possibility of growing very old.
3. Trees send out warning signals to other trees.
One astonishing study done on the savannah of Africa proved that trees watch each other’s back.
When giraffes feed on the umbrella thorn acacia trees, the trees started to pump toxic substances into their leaves, which caused giraffes to move away from them.
The animals have to back out a hundred yards before starting to nibble on other trees. It’s because the neighboring trees of the same species got the signal and pumped up toxic substances in their leaves too to prevent the giraffes from eating them.
4. Trees feel pain when insects feed on their leaves.
While it may seem natural for insects to feed on leaves of trees, this still hurts a tree.
As soon as a caterpillar nibbles on leaves, the tissue surrounding the damaged area changes.
Like a hurting human tissue, the leaf tissue also sends out electrical signals that travel at a lower speed than the human tissue does, approximately one third of an inch in a minute.
5. Trees make different choices.
The characters of trees are noticed only on the same species that are exposed to the same environmental conditions.
This is mostly seen during autumn when trees are supposed to shed their leaves simultaneously. But not all trees do it because each of them decides as to when is the best time to shed their leaves.
None of them knows for sure if the winter would be harsh or mild. Hence, some shed leaves earlier while others continue to photosynthesize for two weeks more.
6. Mother trees nurture their young trees.
Young trees, specifically the beech trees could grow as high as 18 inches per season. However, their growth is hindered by their mother tree for the reason that, according to the scientists, trees should grow slowly while young to ensure living to old age.
The mother trees ensure that the young ones grow slowly by shading the young trees with their enormous crowns that act as a canopy over the forest floor. Only a small amount of sunlight could reach them for photosynthesis, which is enough to keep them alive.
One scientist who helped discover the maternal instincts of trees is Dr. Suzanne Simard. Dr. Simard described mother trees to be dominant and have fungal root connections that are widely linked to other trees. Through their root systems, the mother trees establish a constant contact with the baby trees, passing into them sugar and other nutrients.
7. Trees have their own language.
A study done by the scientists from the University of Western Australia have registered that roots of grain seedlings cracked at a frequency of 220 Hertz.
When exposed to crackling at this frequency, other seedling roots also oriented their tips in that direction.
It’s like they naturally understood what this means, like a language that is spoken amongst them.
8. Trees scream when they’re thirsty.
Trees complain when they’re thirsty too, just like humans.
But because they don’t speak, they scream by creating vibrations through their trunk.
According to the scientists at the Swiss Federal Institute for Forest, Snow and Landscape Research, trees scream when there’s an interruption of the flow of water from the roots to the leaves. And this takes place at ultrasonic levels we can’t hear with human ears.
9. Trees store carbon dioxide.
Through their lives, trees store carbon dioxide up to 22 tons in their trunks, branches, and root systems.
This shows that trees can play smart and save resources for times when resources are scarce.
Some trees do not follow this principle, just like humans.
10. Some trees produce compounds that drive away insects.
Mosquitos and other insects couldn’t be seen near Walnut trees because they produce compounds that deter these insects.
Other trees have different defensive mechanisms.
However, each tree has a smart ways of defending itself from outer danger.
11. Trees have different needs and character.
A mature beech tree needs sugar and cellulose that equals to 2 1/2 acre of a wheat field just to grow its trunk.
But it’s all worth it since a beech tree can produce at least 30,000 beechnuts every 5 years.
Other trees have different needs, and they produce different amounts of fruits. Even trees from same species differ in their needs and production. It’s like each tree is different from another tree just like each person is different in character from another person.
12. Trees have their own so called internet.
Trees have created their own way of communication through a web some scientists call “Wood Wide Web” or The Tree Internet.
This is one of those facts that when you hear it you go ‘whoaaa!’
It’s best if you watch the video below to fully understand how trees achieve this communication.
