How to Travel: 21 Contrarian Rules (Photo credit: Moyan Brenn) This is a tactical post on travel from Ryan Holiday, who’s written on this blog before about the pragmatism of Stoicism and lessons learned as Director of Marketing for American Apparel. To his 21 rules, I’ve added a few of my own tricks. Please share your own rules and tips in the comments! Enter Ryan Holiday Why are you traveling? Because, you know, you don’t magically get a prize at the end of your life for having been to the most places. Seneca, the stoic philosopher, has a great line about the restlessness of those who seem compelled to travel. “They make one journey after another and change spectacle for spectacle. It’s hard for me see anything to envy in most people who travel. Is that why you’re packing up your things and hitting the road? Not that I don’t travel myself–I did my fair share this year alone. But are you, as Emerson once put it, “bringing ruins to the ruins?” So what I think about when I travel is that “why.” My 21 Travel Rules and Criteria 1.
75 vuotta kestänyt tutkimus selvitti onnellisuuden avaimet: Muista aina nämä 5 sääntöä Harvardin yliopiston tutkijat ovat saaneet päätökseen uskomattoman 75 vuotta kestäneen tutkimuksen siitä, mikä todella tekee ihmisen onnelliseksi. Tutkimuksessa on seurattu tavallisten ihmisten elämää lapsuudesta vanhoille päiville, tarkastellen kuinka he muuttuvat kokemuksien myötä oppien uutta vuosien varrella. Tutkijat perehtyivät erityisesti siihen, kuinka koehenkilöiden arvot muuttuivat ajan kuluessa ja mitkä asiat tuottivat elämässä eniten tyydytystä.

8 Surprising New Instagram Statistics to Get the Most out of the Picture Social Network 2.3K Flares Filament.io 2.3K Flares × While just a little over turning 3 years old, Instagram has made huge strides in social media. With over 150 million users on the platform, 16 billion photos shared, and 1 billion likes happening each day, the photo-sharing and editing platform is one of the most engaging channels on social media. Instagram has some pretty different functionalities in comparison to other social media sites and is fundamentally based on being able to simply upload and share beautiful images instantly. Except, looking at the other capabilities, Instagram is still a platform to share things and identifying what is working and what isn’t helps to determine what a specific audience craves. As a marketer, I’m completely intertwined in social media as it represents a pretty big channel and never ceases to change everyday. 1. 55 Million photos on average are uploaded each day, while the adoption rate of video is barely scratching the surface. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8.
Jason Pinter: You Should Date an Illiterate Guy Inspired by Charles Warnke's "You Should Date an Illiterate Girl" Date a guy who doesn't read. You'll find him in a bar, already on his third or fourth smoky glass of amber, staring at you through glassy eyes that say he was hoping someone like you would come along and that you're up for fun tonight. He's cute so you let him buy you a drink, maybe a shot or two, and let him tell you about his job, how much money he makes, and how attracted he is to you. You tell him a little about yourself, and take his nods and smiles to mean he's soaking it all in, understands you just enough to feel a connection. Feel yourself falling for him because he's not bad-looking, because he has a job and seems self-sufficient, and tells you how great it is that you read a book a week, if not more. He doesn't call you but instead sends a text message. On the third date he still can't remember what you do, but you chalk that up to him being a guy.

The Selfie Syndrome Infographic: The Selfie Syndrome – How Social Media Is Making Us Narcissistic Website BestComputerScienceSchools.net has recently published an infographic titled “Selfie Syndrome – How Social Media is Making Us Narcissistic”. This infographic outlines the ways in which our current social media culture and habits indicate a narcissistic pattern where everything you do has a self-fulfilling purpose. View the infographic below: America Via Erica: Speech Below is the video and transcript of the Coxsackie-Athens HS Class of 2010 valedictory speech that went viral on the web, thus proclaiming me as the 'valedictorian who spoke out against schooling.' Here I Stand Erica GoldsonJune 25, 2010 There is a story of a young, but earnest Zen student who approached his teacher, and asked the Master, "If I work very hard and diligently, how long will it take for me to find Zen? The Master thought about this, then replied, "Ten years." The student then said, "But what if I work very, very hard and really apply myself to learn fast - How long then?" This is the dilemma I've faced within the American education system. Some of you may be thinking, “Well, if you pass a test, or become valedictorian, didn't you learn something? I am now accomplishing that goal. H. to fill the young of the species with knowledge and awaken their intelligence. ...

Hukkuminen ei Näytä Hukkumiselta 汉语 - tiếng Việt – Español – Français – Português – română – Deutsch – Svenska – Čeština – Русско -Íslenska – Audio Version – English (Finnish Translation by Kaj Söderholm) Tuore kapteeni hyppäsi kannelta vaatteet yllään ja juoksi veden halki. Entisenä hengenpelastajana hän piti katseensa pelastettavassaan ja suuntasi rannan ja veneen välissä uimassa olleen pariskunnan luo. “Luulen, että hän kuvittelee sinun olevan hukkumaisillaan” mies sanoi vaimolleen. Mitä sellaista viidentoista metrin päässä ollut kapteeni huomasi, mitä tytön isä ei voinut aavistaa vain kolmen metrin päästä? Entisenä rannikkovartioston pintapelastajana tämä tarina ei yllättänyt minua. Vaistomainen hukkumisreaktio (The Instinctive Drowning Response) – tohtori Francesco A. Tilastojen mukaan USA:ssa alle 15-vuotiaiden lasten kuolinsyistä hukkuminen on toisella sijalla heti liikenneonnettomuuksien jälkeen (2006). Harvoja poikkeuksia lukuun ottamatta hukkuva ihminen ei fysiologisesti pysty huutamaan apua.
[Expert] Editeurs de contenus, si vous cessiez de vous faire phagocyter par Google et Facebook ? Facebook a modifié son algorithme Edgerank. Ce dernier filtre les publications qui s’affichent sur le mur des abonnés d’une page fan. Désormais, sont privilégiés ceux qui suscitent le plus de likes, de commentaires, de partages… Comme l’explique lemonde.fr dans une tribune, ceci est une prime aux contenus les plus insolites, les plus « fun », les plus « émotionnels ». La qualité socio-économique de son lectorat, qui se vend plus cher que la moyenne, met peut-être lemonde.fr économiquement à l’abri d’une légère baisse d’audience. Les titres de presse ont déjà très largement baissé les bras face à Google et Google News. Non pas par philanthropie, mais parce que c’était son modèle économique. C’est grâce au moteur de recherches que les sites d’information ont accepté, souvent à contrecœur, de mettre des liens vers d’autres sites. « On ne va quand même pas pointer vers la concurrence, il faut garder le lecteur chez nous ! Il faut toutefois relativiser la responsabilité de Google.
