Want to improve your life? Then do something awesome．
According to a recent article in The Wall Street Journal, researchers have found that awe-inspiring experiences improve our behaviors, making us more generous and modest． Awe-inspiring experiences make us more sympathetic, allowing us to recognize another person's emotional expressions better and respond with concern． And they make us more willing to engage with trust and connect with others．
What kind of experiences can be called“awe-inspiring”? The examples mentioned by the journal include witnessing the birth of a child, watching a meteor shower（流星雨）and visiting a forest． A man said he found it awe-inspiring to work with homeless people and witness their courage and kindness． Awe is an emotional response to something very large, says the article, and it challenges and expands our way of seeing the world．
But the feeling of awe is felt differently by different individuals, and for different reasons． The deep blue ocean might inspire different feelings in a poet than in a fisherman, for example．
According to an article in The Atlantic, a 2012 study from Stanford University investigated several aspects of awe and came to an interesting conclusion: the feeling of awe changes the way you think about time． The study says an awe-inspiring experience is a moment so overwhelming(difficult to resist) that time seems to stand still． When you look at or experience something awesome, like looking at a waterfall or a sky filled with stars, your mind is fixed on the present moment． Time seems to slow down, the Stanford researchers concluded, making you feel like you have more of it to spare． This makes you feel more patient, less materialistic, and more willing to help others．
