From Rejection to Revolution. AI-Generated.
--- When Jack Ma was born in 1964 in Hangzhou, China, no one could have imagined that this small, skinny boy would one day become one of the most influential entrepreneurs in the world. His early life was not filled with privilege or connections. In fact, Jack Ma grew up in a time when China was still opening up to the outside world, and opportunities were scarce. His parents were traditional musicians and storytellers, earning very modest incomes. But what Jack lacked in resources, he made up for in curiosity and determination.

What Today's Ultra-Potent Weed Really Means for Your Mind: Beyond the Buzz.. AI-Generated.
Cannabis has undergone a transformation unlike any other recreational drug in the past two decades. The mellow weed of the 1970s had THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) levels of about 2% to 3%, whereas today's strains frequently have potencies that exceed 25%. Dabs and oils, for example, can contain as much as 90% THC. However, despite the fact that headlines scream about "super weed" and its mind-melting potency, focusing solely on potency misses the real problem: our understanding of cannabis has not kept up with its evolution. Yes, today's marijuana is much stronger. However, this does not automatically make it riskier. The fact that we don't know much about how these high-potency strains affect the developing brain, mental health conditions, and long-term cognition makes it dangerous. We have adopted a permissive attitude that frequently overlooks the science—or lack thereof—as cannabis culture enters the mainstream and legalization spreads. Psychological effects of cannabis have been undervalued due to its laudation as a "natural" or "safe" alternative to drugs, alcohol, and opioids. Even though cannabis is physically and addictively less harmful than many legal substances, that does not mean it is harmless. The dangers are real, especially for young users. High-potency cannabis use is linked to higher rates of anxiety, depression, and even psychosis, according to recent research. In 2019, research was published in The Lancet Psychiatry indicating that daily use of high-strength cannabis was linked to a fivefold increase in the risk of developing psychotic disorders, particularly in urban areas where high-strength weed is widely available. Nevertheless, despite this data, many casual users continue to be unaware of the potential effects on mental health. The lack of public understanding is even more troubling. We have barely scratched the surface of understanding how these changes affect the brain, particularly in adolescents, with cannabis now being a lab-enhanced, genetically modified powerhouse. Cannabis interacts with the endocannabinoid system, which is important for brain development, mood regulation, and stress response. During crucial developmental years, regular interference with that system may have ripple effects, which we are just beginning to investigate. The issue of regulation and consistency comes next. In contrast to pharmaceuticals, the potency, chemical composition, and quality of cannabis products can vary greatly, particularly in markets where there is no strict oversight. Users can't always tell what they're consuming, and researchers can't always see clear cause-and-effect relationships because of this inconsistency. So, what concerns should we have? Not only is the weed potent, but we are also flying blind. Our cultural, legal, and medical frameworks haven't changed fast enough to help people with mental health issues related to cannabis, create safety standards, or educate people on responsible use. The nuance has been lost as the conversation about cannabis has shifted from prohibition to normalization. This is not a defense of legalization. In point of fact, legal regulation is one of the few means of ensuring that products are safer, education is improved, and research is more robust. But it is a reason to slow down our enthusiasm for culture and ask better questions. Not "How high can I go with this?" but rather "How will this impact me in the long run?" In the end, the issue is more than just the potency of today's marijuana. The assumption that we already comprehend it is the problem. We are not. And until we do, not only our lungs but also our minds may be at risk.

It’s Easy to Quit — But Staying Committed? That’s What Makes You Cool
At some point in life, we all find ourselves at a crossroads—one path offering the quick relief of letting go, the other asking us to grit our teeth and stay the course. In a viral talk titled “Quitting Is Easy, But Sticking With It Is Cool,” Chinese content creator Orange Writing unpacks this very dilemma. In an age where short videos have shortened our attention spans and “quiet quitting” has become a social media mantra, staying committed has become a radical act. But maybe it’s time to reframe what commitment really means—not as a form of self-punishment, but as a courageous, creative choice to invest in ourselves.
