Earth in space and time
The document discusses key facts about our solar system including the eight planets, with four rocky inner planets and four gas outer planets. It describes the sun's temperature and role in sustaining life on Earth. Details are provided about Earth's size, distance from the sun, composition, and three motions of spinning daily, orbiting the sun yearly, and moving through the Milky Way. The causes and diagrams of the seasons due to Earth's tilted axis are explained. Facts provided about the moon include that it does not produce its own light but reflects the sun's, is much smaller than Earth, and has no atmosphere or life. Phases of the moon and the cycle of night and day are also summarized.

Work vs. prison
This document compares and contrasts the key differences between prison and work. In prison, inmates spend most of their time in small cells, receive meals and have expenses paid for, and can engage in recreational activities. In contrast, at work employees spend long hours in cubicles, have to pay for meals and expenses, and could lose their job for non-work activities. Overall, the document suggests that while prison provides for basic needs, work requires greater personal responsibility and freedom comes with greater cost.

What if
1) The document presents concerns from educators over many decades about students' dependence on new technologies for writing, calculating, and learning.
2) Each excerpt expresses doubt that the technologies students were beginning to use (such as paper, pencils, ink, calculators, computers, and mobile devices) would last or be useful for the future.
3) However, the technologies that were once considered luxuries or fads ultimately became integrated into modern education.

Value of food
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive functioning. Exercise stimulates the production of endorphins in the brain which elevate mood and reduce stress levels.
Trust
Trust is like the feeling a one-year-old baby has when thrown in the air, laughing because they know their parent will catch them. The document draws a comparison between trust and the carefree feeling of a baby being tossed up and down, confident their caregiver will prevent them from falling. In a few short sentences, it conveys the message that trust is having complete faith that someone has your best interests and safety in mind.
Total productivity maintenance technique
Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) aims for zero defects, breakdowns, and losses through total employee participation in maintenance to increase productivity. TPM is productive maintenance that seeks to eliminate downtime through breakdowns and setups, speed losses from idling or reduced speeds, and defects from rework or unstable production, by maintaining equipment, operating conditions, restoring deterioration, improving skills, and identifying hidden problems. TPM requires maintaining basic equipment, operating conditions, restoring deterioration, correcting design weaknesses, improving technical skills, and exposing hidden defects.
