7 Lessons From 7 Great Minds - Global One TV Have you ever wished you could go back in time and have a conversation with one of the greatest minds in history? Well, you can’t sorry, they’re dead. Unless of course you’re clairaudient, be my guest. But for the rest of us, we can still refer to the words they left behind. Even though these great teachers have passed on, their words still live, and in them their wisdom. I’ve made a list of seven what I believe are some of the greatest teachings by the world’s greatest minds. 1. “If you don’t know where you are going, you’ll end up someplace else.” - Lawrence J. In order for us to achieve our dreams, we must have a vision of our goals. Action: Visualize a life of your wildest dreams. 2. “It was a high counsel that I once heard given to a young person, “Always do what you are afraid to do.” - Ralph Waldo Emerson The best way to learn something is to dive right in to it. Action: You must define your fears in order to conquer them. 3. “All that we are is the result of what we have thought.
How can you tell if someone is a psychopath? Not all are predators Consider the following scene: You’re out for dinner with your family when your father suddenly stands, raps his spoon against a glass and calls the restaurant patrons – all strangers – to attention. “Many thanks,” he says, “for coming tonight, especially to those who have come from out of town. I can’t tell you how much it means that you could join us. We’d like to continue the celebration after dessert, with a reception down the street at the King’s Arms. The diners all applaud with enthusiasm. Leaving soon after, you ask, “Dad, we aren’t really going to the King’s Arms, are we?” “No, son,” he says, “but they are. That, says British research psychologist Kevin Dutton, who watched his own father once perform that – and many similar – acts of brazen tomfoolery, is classic evidence of psychopathy. “My father was absolutely a nailed-down psychopath,” he said in an interview. As Dr. “There are two deep-seated myths I’m trying to debunk,” explains Dr. But, in other respects, Dr. Psycho or hero?
The Power of the Apology Column by Janine Popick, Inc.com "Women in Business" May 21, 2009 I’ve worked for a bunch of companies spanning from New York to the Bay Area, both large and small. I have noticed in all of these companies that women apologize in our everyday language--me included. I’ve had times where a woman will walk into my office with a pre-scheduled meeting, and sheepishly say, "Sorry, is now still a good time?" In certain meetings, I have even found myself starting sentences like, "Sorry if we’ve covered this and I can’t remember…" or "Apologies, if I don’t understand. If it’s so easy for women to spew "sorrys" all day long, why can it be SO tough for men to apologize? Sometimes all anyone wants is an apology. Think about when you’re in a car on the freeway and someone cuts you off. Is there no middle ground? With all of these moving parts, there is always the possibility of something going awry.
Imagine Illusionist Derren Brown on how he destroyed the planet for one unsuspecting man in controversial new TV show IF Derren Brown ever asks for a volunteer, think very, very carefully before saying yes. The illusionist, mentalist and magician has long moved on from card tricks and cold reading. His repertoire of psychological experiments and stunts includes everything from performing Russian roulette live on TV to successfully predicting the National Lottery. His next venture is a case in point. Called Apocalypse, for one poor soul, a young volunteer called Steven, it really is the end of the world. He said: “The show is about taking somebody who basically takes his life for granted, and suffers from that lazy sense of entitlement that many of us do, and giving him a second chance at discovering the value of what he has. “It’s over two episodes, which I’ve never done before. “It was based on a seed of truth, because there was a meteor shower around August, so we just used the idea that this shower was masking a much bigger potential collision. “The end of the world happens. “What does scare me?

19 « 30×30 Reputation Is Ridiculous, but Important People just don’t do their homework. I don’t mean that in a snarky way, like “ahh man we’re all sheep.” No, it’s just too mentally stressful to challenge every idea that crosses our path. Life would be so exhausting if we had to evaluate everyone’s opinion, every day. This is why reputation is a bigger deal than most of us make it out to be. Here’s the really crazy part: To a certain extent, you can create your reputation just by repeatedly saying it out loud. © 2012, Ian Mathias Like this: Like Loading...
Sum of the parts? How our brains see men as people and women as body parts Public release date: 25-Jul-2012 [ Print | E-mail Share ] [ Close Window ] Contact: Sarah Gervaissgervais2@unl.edu 402-472-3793University of Nebraska-Lincoln When casting our eyes upon an object, our brains either perceive it in its entirety or as a collection of its parts. Consider, for instance, photo mosaics consisting of hundreds of tiny pictures that when arranged a certain way form a larger overall image: In fact, it takes two separate mental functions to see the mosaic from both perspectives. A new study suggests that these two distinct cognitive processes also are in play with our basic physical perceptions of men and women -- and, importantly, provides clues as to why women are often the targets of sexual objectification. The research, published in the European Journal of Social Psychology, found in a series of experiments that participants processed images of men and women in very different ways. "Local processing underlies the way we think about objects: houses, cars and so on.
