DAYS LATER says Which I hear as “You’re lucky to be here.” “That ledge there, that’s my best guess,” Hansen says, pointing to a shadowy overhang located about 30 feet up a slab of sloping granite, where he imagines the den might be Garrett turns to me “Want to check?” “Yeah,” I say, trying to sound bold When we reach the ledge, I peer into a dark crack and see a mouse skitter across the base of the opening, but no snakes And I feel very lucky indeed outside (june 2018), copyright © 2018 by kyle dickman, outsidemagazine.com rd.com 109 INSPIRATION The True Feeling of SUCCESS A man reexamines his life and discovers some unappreciated moments of joy By Michael Graff from charlotte magazine I was having coffee this morning with a dear friend who’s going through a difficult time at work In one of those moments that make you wonder who’s winding the clock of life, my phone buzzed while we were sitting there It was an e-mail from my old friend Ryan, and all I saw was the subject line: “Success.” 110 april 2019 | rd.com illustration by Shout Reader ’s Digest Reader ’s Digest Some 17 years ago, Ryan and I were sportswriters at “competing” small newspapers in Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley We had about a half dozen high schools, a Division III university, and a summer baseball league in our coverage area In that lava-hot turf war, we somehow became friends We’ve kept in touch, but it’d been a few months since we’d talked when this curiously timed e-mail arrived He said he was preparing a speech for the next week He’s now a project manager for a research firm near Washington, and the speech he was going to give was titled “How Do You Define Success?” I’ve contributed to a publication called Success, so he turned the question to me: “How you define success?” I thought of my coffee conversation and typed this: Hey, man, Good to hear from you again And good timing Your e-mail came in just as I was chatting with another friend, who’s going through one of those rough spells at work I wish I had better advice What a broad question! You know, after I left the Shenandoah Valley, my next job was in Rocky Mount, North Carolina I made $22,500 a year—and this was 2005, not a generation ago The two other sportswriters on staff, Travis and Jeff, were in their mid-20s too Honestly, we’d come to Rocky Mount to leave Rocky Mount We 112 april 2019 MAYBE SUCCESS ISN’T MEASURED IN ACHIEVEMENTS OR “BEING HAPPY WITH WHO YOU ARE.” spent our time talking about what life must be like at a “real” newspaper We griped about our shop and drooled over the Charlotte Observer and the Raleigh News & Observer What resources they had! Writers who covered only one team and didn’t have to lay out pages or proofread box scores Talk about living the dream If we could just get to one of those places! Then we could go somewhere else! Travis, Jeff, and I bonded over our desire to part ways We ate dinner together, went out to cover our games, and came back to help send the final pages to the printer by our 1:30 a.m deadline On the best nights, we’d grab the news editors and copy editors and play Wiffle ball in the parking lot until a.m., laughing and joking until almost sunrise Inspiration We all left there within a year, as intended Travis eventually landed a big-time job covering the Pittsburgh Pirates, and he now has a New York Times bestselling sports book about baseball Jeff became one of the most well-known NASCAR writers in the country, with almost 200,000 Twitter followers Now he’s got his own media company that’s doing quite well In 2017, Jeff and I went to a Charlotte Knights game, and he said something about Rocky Mount that I won’t forget “I didn’t appreciate it then, but honestly, when I look back, it’s probably the best time I’ve ever had in my career.” What is success? Buddy, I don’t know On those late nights, it was making good contact on Travis’s curveball Now it’s running a tenth of a mile farther than I did last week Or the sound of a storm door latching shut after I install it myself Or the morning Laura said yes More than a year ago, I wrote a story and no readers yelled at me about it, which these days is a success But nobody said anything nice either, so is it a failure? I don’t know College students ask me for advice every now and then, if you can believe it Maybe that’s success But last night an editor at a publication I’ve been dying to write for replied to a pitch with the murderous words “This just isn’t the right fit for us,” and I scanned job boards for a new line of work Maybe it’s beyond work, though In June 2018, my dad visited and made it the whole weekend without falling while transferring to his wheelchair That’s a victory To another person, though, success might be a senior discount on McDonald’s coffee, or a night sleeping on a bench without getting wet, or the last meeting with a parole officer You get the point Maybe success isn’t measured in achievements, or “being happy with who you are,” or any of the clichés in self-help books on this matter Goals and personal peace are selfish markers, and I don’t mean to imply selfishness is a bad thing, not at all Selfishness is the axis of humankind, from cavemen to astronauts to saints on earth Individual accomplishments bring community accomplishments bring worldwide accomplishments But all of the accomplishments in the universe may not leave you feeling successful, right? I’m rambling here, I know But the point is, maybe success is a smaller calculation, something more like what Jeff hinted at Maybe success is having the wherewithal to be grateful at the precise moment you have something to be grateful for Thank you for writing, old friend Mike charlotte magazine (july 3, 2018), copyright © 2018 by michael graff, charlottemagazine.com What RD readers consider signs of success?

the linguistic portion of our brains, where we store arbitrary lists of words, has limited storage However, our visual brains have vastly more storage than our linguistic brains Thus, when you store information visually, as opposed to linguistically, you can recall it much better And that’s the secret to remembering the ten words above Instead of repeating the words in Photographs by Matthew Cohen your head, convert them to images— and not just any images, but extremely vivid pictures Then visualize your house and mentally place the image of each object on the list in a different room or distinct location, such as a closet, within the house For instance, place a very large ladybug—say three feet in diameter to make it really vivid—where the welcome mat would lie by the front door Then deposit a large orange comb on the floor just inside the front door Continue to place each successive object on the list throughout your house, preferably in the order you would take someone on a guided tour When you’re done, take another stroll through your home and “see” the objects you’ve left in different places You should have no trouble visualizing each and every object— and thus, each and every word You can use this same trick to memorize strings of numbers, letters, symbols, or anything else Just convert what you’re memorizing into something meaningful; for example, the number might be represented by an image of you and your spouse Move Things with Your Mind Tie a two- or three-foot piece of string (or dental floss) through the handle of a coffee cup and dangle the cup in front of you, keeping it as still as you can Then, using only your mind, will the cup to sway forward rd.com 117 Reader ’s Digest and back After 20 to 30 seconds, you will see the cup start to move forward and back Then, again using only your mind, order the cup to stop Repeat the exercise, this time willing the cup to sway left and right like a pendulum No, you can’t literally move things with your mind But this experiment— which feels eerily like telekinesis— proves that your unconscious exerts extraordinary control over your muscles, causing them to contract in subtle ways that produce tiny but precise motions that move the cup Although you probably weren’t aware of which muscles you contracted to cause the cup to sway, your body knew what to through a process called implicit memory, in which your brain files away enormous amounts of information unconsciously, such as which muscle groups will cause which kinds of subtle motions Perhaps such unconscious movements are what gave rise to the concept of telekinesis in the first place Navigate in the Dark Bats navigate in the dark by listening for the returning sound they create from ultrasonic clicks, chirps, and tones We all have an inner bat that can also echolocate Find a long stick or pole with a hard tip (metal is ideal) and a friend to spot you, then go to an uncarpeted area of your house Close your eyes and tap the stick in front of you, as blind people Observe that you can get 118 april 2019 WE HAVE AN UNCONSCIOUS ABILITY TO SENSE SOMEONE IS BEHIND US a rough sense of the presence of large nearby objects, and even their distance, just by listening to the clicks If you’re like most sighted people who this for the first time, you will just “know” when you are getting close to a wall or a large object without knowing exactly how you know This “knowing without knowing how” is another example of implicit memory But if you listen carefully to the clicks of your stick, you’ll start to notice that a click made from tapping the The Genius Section floor a few feet from a wall has a hollow quality because of slight echoes that immediately follow the original click of contact The echoes from the stick tapping the floor follow too quickly to distinguish as distinct replicas of the original click, but they add slightly to the original click sound nonetheless If you tap the stick closer to the wall (within a few inches), the click will have a somewhat higher pitch Some people report that clicks right next to the wall sound “deader” because they contain fewer echoes and overtones See Behind You Sound shadowing is a close cousin of echolocation It lets you sense when someone—or a large something, such as a predator—is right behind you, even when that someone (or something) makes no sound Stand with your eyes closed on a carpeted surface (or another sounddeadening surface, such as grass or beach sand), and have a friend sneak up behind you so that you don’t hear his or her footsteps, breathing, or clothes rustling The experiment works best when you have a conspicuous sound source, such as a radio, located about ten feet behind you to create background noise As your friend approaches from behind, even though you can’t see or hear him or her directly, you should be able to “feel” the person’s proximity by the sound shadow that he or she casts—the way the person blocks the sound If you pay close attention to the sound shadow, you’ll perceive it has two parts: a slight lowering of volume and a deadening of echoes of the radio noise off surfaces behind you These two effects become increasingly obvious as the person gets closer to you Our unconscious ability to sense that someone is behind us may have given rise to that overworked phrase in thrillers and mysteries: “She felt someone watching her.” Although the perception of sound shadows, like echolocation, is yet another example of implicit memory, it may also have a hardwired survival component that helps us fill in a large blind spot behind us that predatory animals (and nasty humans) could otherwise exploit psychologytoday.com (june 2018), copyright © 2018 by eric haseltine Mazel Tov!
