redemption (n): the act of recovering what was lost, of making amends, of rescue. the state of being fulfilled once again.

mao asada’s 3rd place free skate at the 2014 olympics brought her from 16th to 6th place; nathan chen’s 1st place free skate at the 2018 olympics brought him from 17th to 5th. both faced immense pressure and criticism after stumbles in their short programs, but redeemed themselves powerfully.

Alex (1976 – September 6, 2007) had a vocabulary of over 100 words, but was exceptional in that he appeared to have understanding of what he said. For example, when Alex was shown an object and was asked about its shape, color, or material, he could label it correctly. He could understand that a key was a key no matter what its size or color, and could figure out how the key was different from others. One day, he asked what color he was, and learned “grey” after being told the answer six times. This made him the first non-human animal to have ever asked an existential question. [x]

Alex’s last words were also “You be good, see you tomorrow. I love you.” [x] 

These were the same words that Alex would say every day when his owner left the lab.

a parrot actually said these words, and meant it, before he died.
