Panda bear keeper: a beautiful job?

While we all keep looking for the ideal job: journalist, doctor, architect, teacher or even football player, working as a panda bear caretaker could be a wonderful yet demanding choice.

Giant panda cubs are adorable fluff balls that squeak and squeal. This endangered species is also incredibly tricky to breed and raise in captivity. In the 1960s, only 30 percent of infant pandas born at breeding centers survived. Today 90 percent survive.

The video below shows how baby pandas are successfully raised and bred in captivity in a panda bear center in China before being released into the wild.

Ying Hua was abandoned by her mother after only a few days and is being hand reared. This highly intensive conservation job means that the keeper has to mimic the absent mother's every behaviour.

Maybe next time when someone asks you what you want to be when you grow up, you won't hesitate.

The Hole in the Road

So often, we follow the same habits of mind over and over again... But imagine if you started just noticing, being more aware of your surroundings...

It's hard to change something that you can't see. This story shows that awareness is the first step towards positive change, in our minds, and in our lives. It's great motivation for your meditation practice, and the perfect reminder to ... look out for that hole!

Stop and think just for a moment... for you, in your life, what is that hole?
