Is It Really Money That Motivates Us? The Science Will Surprise You! (VIDEO) Human nature is not what we have been told. I couldn’t contain my excitement while watching this video because this is what I have always felt to be true. Not to mention it is now backed by a legitimate study! Many people love to blame “Human Nature” for the state of our world. It is believed that we are inherently greedy and that money is our primary source of motivation, whether it is to do good or not so good stuff. Yet my intuition always told me that modern society has nothing to do with human nature but instead with human CONDITIONING. Think about it: it takes on average 20 years, starting from a very early age, to shape us into so-called “functional members of society” at school.
And why not add a daily dose of “television programming” into the mix? Enjoy this awesome RSA Animate adapted from a Dan Pink’s talk. Balls - juggling - Neta Oren - Sol. Disappointed hands.

In recent years (months, even) I’ve changed my mindset as it relates to flexibility and stretching. Having spent 10+ years contentedly overstretching the crap out of my ligaments and testing the integrity of my hip labrums and knee meniscii (meniscuses?)
, I am now just as happy to not do any stretching. Because sometimes less is more. And because the other day, when going up the stairs, I realized that what I thought was the floor creaking was actually my knee. I’m in my 20s. These are not the sounds I wish my knees to make at this stage in my life. I can’t do the splits anymore and that’s just peachy. And I enjoy dance more today with less flexibility than I did back in the day, when I could over-split and fold myself in half. These days, my active and passive flexibility are almost on par, and so even though I’m not as passively flexible (less splat) I can actually control my movement through it’s full range of motion. Your new rule of life. I am not against stretching as a whole. This Man Invented a Font to Help People With Dyslexia Read. A new typeface is making life easier for people everywhere who live with dyslexia.
Christian Boer, 33, is a Dutch graphic designer who created the font that makes reading easier for people, like himself, who have dyslexia, according to his website. Now, he’s offering it to people for free. The typeface is called “Dyslexie,” and Boer first developed it as a final thesis project when he was a student at the Utrecht Art Academy in the Netherlands. The font makes reading easier for people with dyslexia by varying the letter shapes more, making it harder to confuse similarly shaped letters like “b” and “d,” for example. Dyslexia is a language-based processing disorder resulting in a learning disability often characterized by difficulties with accurate word recognition, decoding and spelling, according to the National Center for Learning Disabilities. Research suggests that about 17 percent of the population has dyslexia, according to PBS.
