Do you have a pet that doesn't obey you? Does it still disobey you no matter how mad you get? Maybe you need to find a better way to communicate with it.
Sometimes people try to discipline their horses by hitting them, but that doesn't always work. It hurts the horses, and some horses still won't obey.
This man is a horse whisperer. Horse whisperers are people who think that they have a special ability to understand what horses are thinking and feeling. Instead of needing to hit the horses, they can make the horses understand what they want them to do by looking at them, speaking to them and petting them in a special way. The man in this picture is trying to communicate with this horse by whispering in its ear.

即使你認為對馬兒說話很蠢，許多人都說對馬兒輕聲細語真的有用。你認為這匹馬明白那男子想告訴牠什麼嗎？ （翻譯︰賴美君）

This striking blue glass ornament is shaped like an eye with concentric circles of dark blue, white, and light blue. While its name in English suggests something threatening, it’s actually a charm designed to ward off misfortune. The origins of the nazar boncu?u can be traced back to ancient Mediterranean and Middle Eastern traditions.
