GROWTH OF A BANANA

  The children cry not only because of egocentric reasons but also because they can sympathize with others' suffering. Until adolescence, physical pain is very important as a trigger of tears, but for adults and the elderly, it no longer plays a significant role. However, feelings of loss and powerlessness seem to remain important for crying throughout the lifespan.   Why adults cry?   Probably the most common elicitors of crying are a feeling of powerlessness or helplessness, often in combination with other emotions such as sadness, anger, fear or disappointment. Usually, there is a blend of emotions that stimulate our tears. The emotion trigger could also be classified into two cases which are 'positive' emotions and 'negative' emotions.   In the case of positive emotions, the tears probably associated with joy, gratitude or elation. Thus, tears may actually reflect feelings that cannot be expressed in other behaviors. Table 1 summarized the basic an...

15 Hacks to Rapidly Increase Your Intelligence and Develop a Lightning Fast Brain 1. Exercise I’m surprised this one hasn’t been mentioned more! Studies have shown time and time again that physical exercise is necessary for cognitive health. Regular exercise can increase brain function, improve memory, speed up cognitive processes, and fight off diseases like Alzheimer’s and dementia. Luckily, you don’t need to spend too much time in the gym to accomplish your goal of a better brain. Experts suggest that 15 minutes of moderate to intense exercise is all that is necessary to optimize cognitive health. I recommend that all of my clients complete some form of resistance training 3X a week for about 45 minutes and then walk, bike, or hike outside for 60 minutes a day for the rest of the week. 2. Get Out in the Sunlight Ever since the skin cancer scare (which was based on exceptionally bad science) people have been avoiding the sun and covering their skin with chemicals. Not only has this m...

Elon Musk 1- SpaceX When Elon Musk started SpaceX, the venture was seen as a fantasy and something that most didn’t take seriously. Elon and the SpaceX Team have proven them wrong. Elon has a mission to make Mars habitable in case the earth is no longer a viable option.     2- Tesla Electric vehicles have been around for a few decades now, but none have really caught on … until Elon got involved. Tesla has solved problems like slow charging, short-range, slow speed, and slow acceleration, plus has made EVs affordable. Now all the car industry is trying to catch up with Elon and the Tesla Team. Personally, I don’t think they have the corporate culture and innovative thinking to do so. Tesla will continue to revolutionize the car industry. 3- Tesla Batteries Founded in 2006, Elon is seeking to make renewable energy something that every home can afford plus revolutionize the battery efficiency of the Tesla cars. SolarCity (another of Elon’s ventures) designs and installs clean en...

1. Closing Your Mind I know way too many people who still operate with the same beliefs, patterns, and styles of thinking that they did when they were 18. They blindly listened to authority, accepted whatever beliefs their family, friends, and society instilled in them…and never bothered to challenge any of it as they grew up. The simple truth is that life is complicated. Infinitely so. And no matter how fervently you believe something, there is someone else somewhere in the world with an antithetical viewpoint that is often just as valid as your own. When you operate with a closed mind in your 20s, you never have the opportunity to formulate your own ideas. To create your own code for living and find your own answers to life’s hard questions. And, if you create this habit in your 20s, it is MUCH harder to break later on. Your 20s should be a time to question everything…religion, politics, life advice, your own goals, your own beliefs about the world, your own identity as a man or woma...

Discover how inventors think.  To invent, said Thomas Edison, you need two things: “A good imagination and a pile of junk.” In the case of Mike Kelly, add a Canadian storm: It was a cold winter day in 1986 when Kelly, his windshield wipers and his career path were all shaken up. Snow was falling and ice was building up on his wiper blades as he drove along the Ottawa Queensway. He reached forward out the car window, trying to grab the wiper to shake off the ice. Instead, with his attention diverted, he nearly ran into a guardrail. Back home later that day, Kelly, a sales manager for a high-tech company, was curious about how you could safely knock ice off the wiper by flipping a switch inside the car. In his garage, he duct-taped an electric back massager to his wiper and plugged it in so it would shake the wiper. “I was trying to simulate what I had done manually,” says Kelly. But the massage unit was too powerful. “It nearly broke my windshield,” he recalls. ...

Therapeutic role-playing has proved to be an effective treatment for phobia sufferers, who often believe that a feared situation is inherently dangerous. This type of therapy allows a therapist and patient to act out scenarios that are difficult for the phobia sufferer. Through role-playing, the patient learns new behaviors to help overcome their particular phobia. How Does Role-Playing Therapy Work? Therapeutic role-playing is a technique that allows a person with a phobia to practice new behaviors. In a role-playing session, the therapist takes the identity of someone that the person is afraid to confront, such as a parent or employer. The person then interacts with the therapist, utilizing behaviors that she has learned during therapy. After the role-playing session is complete, a debriefing takes place in which the client and therapist discuss what happened and ways to improve the interaction. This technique can be particularly helpful for those dealing with social phobia, germ p...

The Relationship between Needs and Emotions Emotions are the body’s signal that ‘needs’ are met or unmet. Abraham Maslow (1954) first suggested that we have a hierarchy of needs; that lower needs must be met before moving on to attend to higher needs. The first five levels are: 1.  Physiological : meeting of basic needs of the body, including food, shelter, and rest. 2. Safety/security : to be safe from danger, both physically and emotionally. 3.  Love and Belonging : to be accepted by, affiliated with, and loved by others. 4.  Self-Esteem : to feel competent, to achieve, gain approval and recognition. 5.  Self-Actualization : morality, creativity and spirituality Only when all these needs are met is a person truly able to give to others and seek emotional or intellectual growth. Emotions, then, are our body’s signal to us about the ‘state of our needs’ at any moment. Positive emotions occur when we believe that our need is being met and neg...

All of our emotions exist for a purpose. Our culture seems to have something against being sad. Don't reject the sadness, embrace it, learn from it. 1.  No one wants to be sad. But without it how could you ever experience empathy or even sympathy. 2. Sadness shapes much of how we connect with the outside world. 3. Accept that things can be sad is a form of maturing. 4. We have to allow ourselves to express and embrace our emotions. 5. Pretending everything is okay ultimately helps no one. 6. Don't confuse sadness with depression. Depression is a chemical imbalance and it can occured when you're emotionally blocked off.  7. It's great to be sad because it's an essential part of being healthy.  8. Try to prevent sadness is to invoke a depression.💙❤️💜💚💛

I will admit that a lot of the time, I am the type of person that will put everyone else and their needs above my own. I get a sense of fulfillment from helping someone else, it makes me feel good. By doing this, I tend to dismiss myself and anything that I might need. I can give you all the advice that you want, but when it comes to it, I can never take my own. And I know that I'm not alone in that. At some point in our lives, we need to understand that we are the ones that we need to depend on. When it's 3 a.m. and you're laying in your bed with a head full of thoughts that terrify you, you're the only one that can make it stop. You're the one that has the power to change your life for the better and make it what you want to be. People will come and go in and out of our lives, and that's just how the world works. Sometimes the people that we think will be there for us in the long haul really aren't, and that's okay but that doesn't mean we shou...

" The fact is the most of the biggest catastrophes that we've witnessed rarely come from information that is hidden. It comes from information that is freely available and out there, but that we are willfully blind to because we can't handle it. don't want to handle the conflict that it provokes. But when we dare to break that silence or when we dare to see and we create conflict , we enable ourselves and the people around us do to our very best thinking . Open information is fantastic, open networks are essential. But the truth won't set us free until we develop the skills, habit, talent and the moral courage to use it.  Openness isn't the end. It's the beginning. " - Margaret Heffernan  💙💚💛💜💓

In his class, he will ask us the meaning of some words (unfamiliar to the student).  When we can't answer it, he will NEVER REVEAL the answer.  He will say: " Try to find it on your own!!!

很多学校老师，喜欢拿学生的成绩跟同学们比较，戴有色眼镜对待放牛班的同学。 其实，上学是为了什么？ 难道是为了只是考试，然后得到一纸文凭，就步入社会大学？ 很多放牛班的孩子，他们不是不能，而是在他们迷茫时，少了一个愿意指引他们的人。因为人类有无限可能。 即便是精英班的孩子，也被我国教育文化框框了，为了考到较好的成绩，所以要【努力读书】。只有考到好成绩，才能进大学。这是一种迷思。 我曾经是放牛班的学生，也是精英班的学生。 别人问我，上学是为了什么？ 我回答说：上课，考试，努力读书才能在出社会后得到一份好的工作。 这就是社会定律。很多父母也在灌输这样的思想给孩子：孩子啊，你一定要用功读书，这样才能找到一份好的工作。 我更希望，父母可以从小灌输孩子：【做个对社会，对国家，有贡献的人。抓紧每一个学习的机会，这将是你促进人类文明的资本。】 这句话是阅读国外的读物后的觉醒。 小学、中学求学生涯中，似乎没有任何人提醒我，“抓紧每一个学习的机会，这也许会为国家，为世界带来一点点的改变。” 学校与家庭灌输的意识浑浊了孩子的思想。 孩子们出社会后也只是为了金钱而工作。而这一种墨守成规的思维模式，让孩子处于自己设定的框框里。限制了自己的天赋。 其实，除了父母，教师在孩子的成长过程中也扮演着举足轻重的角色。如今，越来越少教师，是真心为学生着想的。何以见得？在校园中，只要是成绩标青的学生，老师就会标记他们“好学生”。忽视了那些成绩平凡却善良品格的孩子们。殊不知，教育是全面性的，除了学术，教师也应该将学生的品格态度并重。在孩子的成长路上，老师也应该竭尽所能指引学生，雕塑好品格。
