get the good

A study was made at the Columbia University where they took a large group of fifth graders and had them work on numerous puzzles by themselves. These were very challenging for them, but regardless of how well each child did, they were told that they scored very well - that they did better than most of the other kids. Afterward, half of these students were told they scored higher because they worked very hard to achieve that while the other half were told that they achieved it because they were smart. Then they presented each student with three different types of puzzles to work on - easy ones, medium difficulty ones, and extremely hard ones. What they found was the interesting taking point at the end of this challenge/study. The students who were told that they did well because they were smart spent the majority of their time on the easy puzzles while not spending any time on the hard ones, saying "I don't want to do this anymore" which means, signs of lower levels of...

Nowadays, the market is getting tougher and tougher. Sometimes, it doesn’t really matter experience or skills; sometimes you just might not fall in the grace of others. Whatever! Many companies and economy have made it difficult for people to find work and a good environment at work as well.

If you're reading this post, it means that you're looking for ways to become more social. I've not always been that social myself until nowadays. It took me a while to figure out what it takes to be social, and what is to be social. In the past, I thought that I just didn't like to talk, or that I didn't like to meet other people. That was a lie! I love talking and making new friends everywhere I go. The key was breaking out of my shell. Being in a shell is fine, but if want to break out of it, it's also a nice path to take. It has a lot of advantages (and some disadvantages). If you feel like you struggle to be in conversations because you think you're shy, it can impact your social life and your career. However, you can improve your social skills, that I experimented, and tested, and it worked, and then you'll be able to be in social events with extra confidence. Remember that you don't have to please anyone If you're trying to ...

First of all, mental health and physical health are the most important thing about successfulness. While I've been talking about depression over the last two posts, we usually forget that we can achieve successfulness in our lives, as well. Overcoming our fears, conditions, moods, and fatigue while battling over those, we always have to think about the possibility: "What if I can be successful?". For me, it was a good choice that I made. I tried to become successful in everything I could at my darkest times, and that helped me to become better with myself, and with the world. I started by achieving little things, such as going for long walks, riding a bike for some hours, writing more poetry, writing more songs, learning something new, watch something new, finish my meals, go straight out to the university every day, write more books, talk to more people. I challenged myself to become successful in my achievements that seem small to some people, but big to peopl...
