life
Behavior is our action in the presence of others; conduct includes also that which is known only to ourselves and our Maker. Carriage expresses simply the manner of holding the body, especially in sitting or walking, as when it is said of a lady «she has a fine carriage.» Bearing refers to the bodily expression of feeling or disposition; as, a haughty bearing; a noble bearing. Demeanor is the bodily expression, not only of feelings, but of moral states; as, a devout demeanor. Breeding, unless with some adverse limitation, denotes that manner and conduct which result from good birth and training. Deportment is behavior as related to a set of rules; as, the pupil’s deportment was faultless. A person’s manner may be that of a moment, or toward a single person; his manners are his habitual style of behavior toward or before others, especially in matters of etiquette and politeness; as, good manners are always pleasing.
Synonyms:
action, bearing, behavior, breeding, carriage, conduct, demeanor, deportment, manner, mannersPreposition:
The behavior of the pastor to or toward his people, on or upon the streets, before the multitude, or in the church, with the godly, or with the worldly, was alike faultless.

Look, I think we could all use a lot of mercy in this world. And the pope is a loving person, and having absolution — [allowing] the priest to give absolution is extraordinary, but I’m not surprised at all, i hope that we also focus on mercy for the unborn, the hundreds of thousands of babies that will die. I think we need to have a society that protects life from the beginning to end, and we should be a repentant society for sure. And mercy should be at the heart of everything we do.

Having engaged, interested parents in those first few years of life was strongly linked to children going on to do well at school later on. |

It is these people — the officer who brought me his coat, the guard who offered me a boiled egg, these female guards who asked me about dating life in the US — they are the ones that I remember of North Korea: humans just like us. |
Именно этих людей — офицера, отдавшего мне свою шинель, охранника, предложившего вареное яйцо, охранниц, расспрашивавших о свиданиях в США, — я буду вспоминать, когда буду рассказывать о Северной Корее, — людях таких же, как и мы. |

All life on Earth requires water, so in my case I focus on the intimate relationship between water and life in order to understand if we could find life in a planet as dry as Mars. |

And by playing with these fundamental little things in everyday life, we gain the confidence to ask the right questions. |

Each of those is an independent life-support system, keeping us alive in its own way. |
Каждая из них независима и по — своему поддерживает в нас жизнь . |
Understanding how to keep our life-support systems going is great. |
Понимать, как поддерживать системы жизнеобеспечения , — прекрасно. |
I used to think the whole purpose of life was pursuing happiness. |
Раньше я думала, что цель в жизни — это поиск счастья. |
But what I discovered there changed my life. |
В конце концов я решила пойти в магистратуру на позитивную психологию, чтобы понять, что на самом деле делает людей счастливыми. |
Even though life is getting objectively better by nearly every conceivable standard, more people feel hopeless, depressed and alone. |
Но вот что меня действительно поразило: количество самоубийств в мире растёт, недавно достигнув максимума за последние 30 лет в Америке. |
Is there more to life than being happy? |
Помимо счастья, есть ли в жизни что — то ещё? |
Bringing it all together, I found that there are what I call four pillars of a meaningful life. |
Объединив всё это, я обнаружила то, что называю «четырьмя основными элементами жизни со смыслом». |
Creating a narrative from the events of your life brings clarity. |
Создание рассказа из событий вашей жизни приносит в неё ясность. |
After his injury, Emeka told himself, My life was great playing football, but now look at me. |
После Эмека говорил себе: «Моя жизнь была прекрасна, когда я играл в футбол, но сейчас — посмотрите на меня». |
People who tell stories like this — My life was good. |
Люди, рассказывающие себе вот такие истории: «Жизнь была хороша. |
His new story was, Before my injury, my life was purposeless. |
Я много тусовался и был довольно эгоистичным парнем. |
Some people get help from a therapist, but you can do it on your own, too, just by reflecting on your life thoughtfully, how your defining experiences shaped you, what you lost, what you gained. |
Так сделал Эмека. |
Eventually, I left home for college and without the daily grounding of Sufism in my life, I felt unmoored. |
В итоге я уехала в колледж, и без ежедневной базы в виде суфизма в моей жизни я была лишена ориентира. |
And I started searching for those things that make life worth living. |
И начала искать те вещи, которые делали мою жизнь ценной. |
But living a meaningful life takes work. |
Но жизнь со смыслом требует труда. |
He survived, and when I asked him what was going through his mind as he faced death, he said all he could think about was needing to live so he could be there for my brother and me, and this gave him the will to fight for life. |
Он выжил, и когда я спросила его, что промелькнуло в его голове, когда он встретился со смертью, он сказал, что мог думать только о том, что нужно жить, чтобы он мог быть рядом со мной и моим братом, и это дало ему сил бороться за жизнь . |
But when life is really good and when things are really bad, having meaning gives you something to hold on to. |
Но когда жизнь действительно хороша, и когда всё действительно плохо, смысл жизни даёт вам что — то, за что можно ухватиться. |
