Lately I've been thinking that we've been taught "will power" in the wrong way such that will power has no scale and everyone always has will power in equal measures. What we don't have in common is the love or passion to do the things we wish to do or lack of it.  For example, let's say I love peanut butter with toast but each time I eat I feel guilty because I'd like to have a better body shape. But here's the thing, my love for peanut butter is higher than my desire for better body shape. That's why I'll always choose peanut butter over body shape.  I did not have low will power here because I'm doing what I wish. All I have is a personal preference or will powered by a certain love. In this case I do not have to increase my will power to go against my love/craving for peanut butter but all I need to do is to make a list of benefits for a better body shape to increase my desire beyond my love for peanut butter. Now, after explaining what

Gouna Film Festival, Oscar or any celebrity boosting festival are highly overvalued and overstated. What do they actually do? Acting. What is acting? Pretending a character in an imaginary story. Entertaining the imagination and enjoying the movies is a good thing, but also labeling people who are best at lying as stars are far fetched. How about making a better propaganda for scientist communities who made a real difference in the world, found a cure for a rare illness or invented somethings or a politician who faught for freedom and truth. Nobel prize is undervalued, buried in mass media and not enough.

One can become 3 things in a person's life. A Friend, a Benefit, a Story. The third type is not popular but it is when a person is physically remote and there's no experiences mutually shared. A story then becomes the material of gossip. "Did you know what happened to..?" Etc. Some people will contact you after a long time to extract some stories (material) with the excuse of asking/caring. But the question is how can one be sure? Simple... if they shared personal stories of similar significance, then they are genuine but when they have not much going on in their lives (as they express "no news") then you're the material of gossip in the next evening tea time.   Another indicator is the means of communication. Some people will use WhatsApp or a Facebook message when they're locally in the same country after a long time of no contact. If you really count for them, why does it seem that a phone call is so expensive? Because asking about someone you car

I used to buy a lot of microusb ports just because I cared less to notice why they are not plugging as stiff as it was when it was new. But as demonstrated, all you need is a needle  to lever the pins that are pressed under and take them up a bit. Now the plug will be more stable and charging will not be disconnected upon minor movements. Save money ave don't throw old stuff. It's even a better home recycling practice.

The many will tell you, to be knowledgeable you have to read a lot and refer to specialists. My experience tells me it's unnecessary. The way to a 100% effective knowledge is to search only for what you need on an online search engine. You can of course read books, to increase your knowledge base foundation, but practical know-how are usually very few pieces of information and you don't need to read entire books just to know about them. For example, I learned home gardening only through pieces of information collected from Google searching, skimming some gardening books and trial and error. One day I wanted to know about the types of soil, I searched. If adding charcoal to the soil makes a difference.. I searched. I needed to know more about the types of Basil, I searched. What planting mint needs, I searched. How much water to apply? I found online cheat sheets. The academic way of learning is as usual, very boring. When you search any source of knowledge, Google, Int

Love of money has reached a point where people do not love it for what it can do, but just for the sake of obtaining it. Hence, you see some rich people who spend so minimally even if they have a lot. They prefer being rich to having fun.

If you work in a large corporate environment, you may often receive emails from the HR about a co-worker who lost a significant other, a father, mother, brother or sister. Many times you'll not really know the co-worker personally, you'll probably not attend the funeral.  I believe, that sending a short condolences email is a good thing to do even if we don't know the person. Let's think about it, what's the cost of an email? Only about 1 minute. But it will be highly appreciated because being cared for by "strangers" has a high value. I've tried it, It works, increases your emotional intelligence, it's a thoughtful behaviour, builds a friendly environment and sometimes new friends. Most of what we do in life can be successful, but very few times we get the right timing, and when someone loses a close person it's one of the best moments to show care and practice empathy. Create a short template message to send whenever you receive c

We usually focus on taste as the first priority for our nutrition. Enjoying food is ok but some is better than others. So how do we know which is better? My simple rule is awareness. Focus on how your body feels after eating and drinking. Do you feel better or worse? This exercise becomes much easier when you diversify your nutrition. For example, eat a Caesar salad dish one day and listen to your body after/during digestion. Then on another day eat some fast food... How do you feel? Now the comparison is easier. The more awareness the more you're convinced top eat healthier food. Do the same on beverages, like green tea and soda. Compare how the body feels and that's all you need to learn.

I have designed my own set of practical cursors for Windows. Objectives for creating this cursor set: 1. Sharp edges pointing. 2. Minimal cursor design. 3. Clear on white & black background. 4. Text Select is just a single straight line for precise selection and less distraction. 5. Neat modern look, not funky. Practicality was my main concern, hence I created this cursor set.  http://www.rw-designer.com/cursor-set/practical-cs OR download from my GoogleDrive directly: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1E60lBoLLEUu3n6dJdvfV4Nkl3yuTyPv0/view?usp=sharing If you like them feel free to donate: ETH: 0x17cc8645b83dab26ff8fbef418b732ef95980013 BCH: qqlucz5lllt2mww5m2vd3jfxgyedppahrvu3f698p5 LTC: ltc1q0tmste84hwhpz2sx3y85vspjlx3rr76udq058q Dogecoin: D8Bd58hkhmt8pW5vF4JJfQHYifJYMXKqjd
