11 Things I Wish I Had Known in My Teens - Adult Tips for My Younger Self In a recent video, Raphael shared 10 things he wishes he had known in his 20s; now that he’s in his 30s and has some hindsight on the matter. I’m currently about halfway through my 20s, and I can say that I found several of those tips to be quite helpful. But there are also some helpful hints I’ve thought up for our teenage readers and viewers; read on to learn what they are. Since I left my teenage years behind, there are a couple of valuable things I’ve learned, but I wish I had known earlier!

Cybersecurity Policy-Making at the Local Government Level: An Analysis of Threats, Preparedness, and Bureaucratic Roadblocks to Success - Iceweasel 1Department of Government and International Affairs, University of South Florida, 4202 East Fowler Avenue, SOC 107, Tampa, FL 33620, USA 2University of South Florida, Tampa, FL 33620, USA Corresponding author: Kiki Caruson, Department of Government and International Affairs, University of South Florida, 4202 East Fowler Avenue, SOC 107, Tampa, FL 33620, USA Top Ten Reasons Why You Should Not Talk to the Police REASON #1: Talking to the police CANNOT help you. If the police are talking to you, it’s because they suspect you have committed a crime. If they have detained you, it’s because they already have enough evidence to arrest you and they want to see if you will admit it and thus, give them an even stronger case against you. If they have evidence to arrest you for a crime, they will. If they don’t, they won’t. It’s as simple as that.

Multitasking Is Impossible, So Batch Tasks Instead Ah, but there's the caveat. When it comes to actually doing the tasks that require that creativity — writing, designing, saving the world — batching has its drawbacks. That's because creative ideas don't just burst forth from a never-ending fountain; at a certain point, you run dry. Seven Military Classics The Seven Military Classics (traditional Chinese: 武經七書; simplified Chinese: 武经七书; pinyin: Wǔjīngqīshū; Wade–Giles: Wu ching ch'i shu) were seven important military texts of ancient China, which also included Sun-tzu's The Art of War. The texts were canonized under this name during the 11th century AD, and from the time of the Song Dynasty, were included in most military encyclopedias.[1] For imperial officers, either some or all of the works were required reading to merit promotion, like the requirement for all bureaucrats to learn and know the work of Confucius. There were many anthologies with different notations and analyses by scholars throughout the centuries leading up to the present versions in Western publishing. The Kangxi Emperor of the Qing Dynasty commented on the seven military classics, stating, "I have read all of the seven books, among them there are some materials that are not necessarily right, ... and there are superstitious stuff can be used by bad people."

This Trick Will Keep You From Choking Under Pressure Previous research suggests it has a lot to do with a person's perspective. In a 2012 study from those same CIT researchers, participants were more likely to choke on a hand-eye coordination challenge if they were highly loss averse — in other words, if they disliked losing money more than they enjoyed winning it. Their 2014 study found that the structure of a reward system played a major role, too, though. People were more likely to choke on the challenge if they were trying to win a large sum of money than if they were trying to avoid losing a large sum of money. (This held true even for people who were highly loss averse.)

More Tragic Reasons Why You Shouldn’t Punish Your Kids! Authoritarian parenting is all about authority and the use of power to make children listen and follow the rules and guidelines that these parents set for them. What does this type of parenting teach kids, if not the idea that the use of brute force and authority solves all life problems, instills fear in people, and makes them listen to you? This is never ok. The more you punish your kids and tell them that they should either obey you or suffer the consequences, the more they will hate you for it, lose their self-esteem because their feelings and opinions aren’t respected, and then start to believe that aggressiveness, if not violence, is the key in life. Your kids might end up doing this to other people, including their own children in the future.

The works of well known strategists such as Sun Tzu and Sun Bin have heavily influenced military philosophy, warfare, and political discourse throughout China's long history.
