In today's English Plus Digest episode, we dive into thought-provoking discussions and timeless wisdom. We start by questioning the futility of war and imagining a world where peace and cooperation reign. Next, we reflect on the proverb "let sleeping dogs lie," exploring when it's best to leave things as they are and when it's necessary to address unresolved issues.

We then delve into the power of believing in your impact, inspired by William James' quote, and the journey from novice to expert embodied in the idiom "know the ropes." The importance of showing respect and humility is highlighted through the word "deferential," and we uncover the hidden worlds of uncontacted tribes in the Amazon Rainforest.

We also explore the surprising benefits of learning new skills on brain health and take a journey through the epic tale of Beowulf. The unyielding spirit of Sojourner Truth inspires us to fight for justice, while the poem "Don't Cry" encourages us to embrace new beginnings.

We imagine hosting our own talk show and choosing the ultimate guest, and learn valuable lessons from the myth of Icarus and Daedalus. Finally, we appreciate the majestic Sahara Desert and its role in Earth's ecosystem, and answer frequently asked questions about postcolonial literature, highlighting its relevance in understanding contemporary issues.
