This song, called Hall of Fame is one of the best song with the best meaning I've ever heard. It talks about never to give up and never holding back. It is also telling people that they can do the impossible if they put in the hard work and believe in themselves and do not care about the people who tell them that they can not be successful in their life, because their family and friends are the ones who truly support them. I listen to this song before a sailing race in order to be lucky.
If you want to experience an emotional rollercoaster read: The Song of Achilles -Madeline Miller!!
Based on Homer's Iliad
I highly recommend it
The story is told from the perspective of Patroclus, who is exiled by his father to live in Phthia, where he meets the demi-god Achilles and falls in love with him. However, soon after, Helen is abducted by the Trojan prince Paris and so Menelaus with his brother, Agamemnon lead an expedition to Troy to recover her. Achilles, not being able to resist immortal glory, joins the war with Patroclus by his side.
During our lesson we came across an article describing how several tricks, or illusions, can influence the opponent's actions, for instance the goalkeeper can expect where the ball will go by taking information from the player's movements or how his posture can influence where the ball will go. In my opinion, I believe that happens unintentionally and subconsiously so we don't have any power over it, in other words we cannot control it. Therefore, I think that it is fair and it is also advantageous so as to, for example, the foootbal team we support have more chances of winning.
When you come across a video on social media regarding illusions you'll stop and watch and, I suppose, most of us find them fascinating. But why? Our brain is keen on learning new things, so anything new and suprising is something that we naturally like, because it means that we may learn something out of it. Moreover, we tend not to pay enough attention to the world, but when something unexepcted happens we give our full attention to it. For these reasons, I feel that we enjoy watching optical illusions because our brain can't explain them and it can't get used to them.
