ITunes

I have been downloading all kinds of podcasts from Itunes lately. It was great fun and I just love it.
For those of us who study English in an EFL context, it is really hard to get our hands on authentic English materials at the same time when it happens. Itunes offers what we just need. First of all, you can search in the Itunes store with a simple phrase or keyword. Then you can subscribe to the podcasts that you are interested in. Then Itunes will download the podcasts when you are connected to the Internet and keep you updated with those podcasts.
I have subscribed to some podcasts offered by CNN and ABC news, and some free programs offered by National Geographical Channel. Last night, before I fell sleep, I was listening to a podcast about Law of Attraction, which totally made me feel relaxed and peaceful, even though I must admit I almost laughed my head off when I heard the screams the speaker made when he was on the roller coaster called "the scream machine". hehe.

Law of Attraction

I first heard about this idea from one of Ellen's shows, in which she invited two guest speakers to introduce the idea of "Law of Attraction".

One of the guests put the audiences into test, asking them how many of them could see the arrow in the FedEx Logo. It was amazing, at least for me, for I wasn't able to see that arrow before. And he went on to explain that people were so used to, or conditioned to look at the world in certain ways, which blocked out a lot of wonderful stuff. But some people are able to get better and richer for the way they look at their lives.

There are some fresh and innovative ideas. I am not sure I buy all of their theories, but I do believe this law teaches us to be more positive, or to be exact, to learn to be master of our own lives. You may want to check out one of their videos on youtube.
