有些人很怕嘗試任何新事物。但是你肯定不能那樣說露•安•坎恩。事實上，2010 年裡的每一天，這位美國女性嘗試了她以前從未做過的事情。她的新體驗裡有一些並不是都那麼具有挑戰性，像是在冰淇淋店裡品嘗所有口味的冰淇淋或是跟完全陌生的人說話。然而，其他的體驗就比較大膽了。有一天，她吃下一隻蠍子。另外有一次，她在新年那天在大西洋城附近的冰冷海水裡游泳。
是什麼激發了坎恩去做所有的這些事情呢？在她三十三歲時大腸被切除、兩年後罹患乳癌及四十五歲時罹患腎臟癌後，坎恩發現她自己處於枯燥乏味的狀態。她開始抗拒改變。她女兒鼓勵她花一年的時間每天嘗試新事物。

Some people are afraid to try anything new. That definitely cannot be said about Lu Ann Cahn. In fact, every day in 2010, the American woman tried something she had never done before. Some of her new experiences were not all that challenging, such as trying all the flavors in an ice cream shop or talking to a complete stranger. Others, though, were more adventurous. One day, she ate a scorpion. Another time, she took a swim in icy cold water near Atlantic City on New Year’s Day.
What motivated Cahn to do all these things? After having her large intestine removed at the age of 33, getting breast cancer two years after that, and then kidney cancer at age 45, Cahn found herself in a rut. She began to resist change. Her daughter encouraged her to try something new every day for a year.
