On the afternoon of April 5, 1722, a group of 3 ships saw a volcanic rock in the South Pacific. It was Easter Sunday, so Jacob Roggeveen, who led the fleet, called Easter Island stone: Paasch Eiland, in Dutch. No one knows what the islanders call it. Other visitors will come with Te Pito-te-henua, or "The End of the World;" but the natives have given that name to one of the three headlands, and for them it only means "Lands End." As far as islanders are concerned, their island never has a name. Natives have words for every stone and niche, but there is no word for their house as a whole. No other island, or continent, within sight or distance; it's the whole earth for them.

How to Get Motivated

• Motivation is literally the desire to do things. It's the difference between waking up before dawn to pound the pavement and lazing around the house all day. It's the crucial element in setting and attaining goals—and research shows you can influence your own levels of motivation and self-control. So figure out what you want, power through the pain period, and start being who you want to be.

• Other refugees have better luck. The people farmed for the pharaohs, or "Great House Owners" of Egypt, and built the great tombs of pharaohs, the pyramids of Saqqara and Giza, for thousands of years. But like other old legends, some of them fled, to the land that flowed with milk and honey. "Then the Lord said to Moses," Go to Pharaoh and tell him, 'Thus says the Lord,' Let my people go '"(Exodus 8: 1, 9: 1). For 40 years, Moses led the Israelites across the desert to the land promised to them. Where they left many descendants.
