The planet is massively covered with Ocean of water. But this comes as 4 times the mass of the earth. As the ocean accounts for a depth of 11 km on Earth, on this planet it is at a depth of 100 km. Due to such a large distance and high pressure at the very depth of the ocean, the water gets converted into ICE 7. This ice is different as it doesn't melt and isn't cold as compared to ours. Scientists had a quarrel about existence of living species, as there could be a microbial life at very bottom.

GJ1214-b - The Sphere Of Ocean

Situated atleast 63 lightyears away from Earth, it is actually bigger than Jupiter, remains surrounded by gas clouds manifesting blue and white swirls over the planet.In astronomy the planet is famous for its silica rains and glass storms. It is known to have a wind speed of 5400 mph and a extreme temperature of 930 °C. Any astronauts won't be able to survive this harsh weather.

HD189773-b - The Glass Hurricanes

The blistering red lava planet is a rocky sphere covered entirely with magma. The exoplanet is semi exposed to the sun and the rest remains in the dark. Thus, the temperature shots from 177°C to 2600°C.This is planet is also known as the tombing zone, as at such a high temperature the rocks with some different composition vaporise and become clouds shower rocks on the other side, which cloud precisely be deadly.

COROT-7b - Boulder Bashing Rains 

Also known as the evil twin planet, it is mainly 67 million miles away from the Sun. The Venus has gravity which 100 times as if the Earth, if so any human steps onto the planet, it will get squashed immediately.The planet is well-known for its appearance due to the presence of Sulphuric Acid clouds, also the wind speeds are same as of to the Earth that is 224 mph.

VENUS - The Acid Giant 

The moon of Saturn is circumvented since 2005 by astronomists. The moon has the size 1.19 times of Earth. It has a extreme temperature of -179°C. The planet contains dense clouds of liquid Methane which is deadly for any human.But significantly 20% of the planet is contained with Natural Gas which is mainly 100 times the amount which is present on the earth. Hence, for somebody like Elon Musk this could have been the bulls-eye planet than Mars.

5 "Impossible" Things That Can Happen On Other Planets

Elon Musk is Finding These Planets!!!

Around 2,000 people get lost in the woods every year. We all believe we’re not going to be one of those unfortunate souls…but none of us can ever be 100 percent sure.Here are some survival strategies you need to know to avoid getting into this precarious situation in the first place. But before getting into the nitty-gritty, take a look at the dos and don’ts every hiker or backpacker should memorize.

Getting Lost In The Woods

Do's:<ul><li>Tell someone at home where you’re going beforehand.</li><li>After you realize you’re lost, follow the STOP protocol and prioritize your needs.</li><li>Travel downhill and follow streams towards possible human habitations.</li><li>Stay in open areas and use all signalling devices at your disposal.</li><li>Consider buying a satellite phone if venturing frequently into service-free areas</li></ul>Don’ts:<ul><li>Panic – establish an escape or action plan and follow it strategically</li><li>Deplete your energy running around without a coherent plan.</li><li>Ignore symptoms of serious conditions like hypothermia and heat exhaustion.</li></ul>

Do's And Don'ts

Surviving when you do get lost involves a little preparation. Always, always make sure you have the backpacking 10 essentials with you when you go out hiking or backpacking:<ul><li>Water purifier</li><li>Extra food and bottled water</li><li>Firestarter (matches/lighter)</li><li>First Aid Kit</li><li>Emergency shelter (e.g. a tarp or bivvy)</li><li>Extra Insulation (emergency blanket or extra clothes)</li><li>Flashlight/Headlamp</li><li>Navigation tools (e.g. compass, personal location beacon, maps)</li><li>Sun Protection</li><li>Repair kit & Tools (duct tape and multi-tool are a great combo)</li></ul>

Always Bring The 10 Essentials

Once you realize you’re lost, the first things you need to do are stop, relax, and think about your situation carefully. Excessive anxiety will only cloud your judgment and drain your energy. The STOP method helps you remember what to do after you realize you’re lost. These letters stand for: “stay calm,” “think,” “observe,” and “plan.”A few questions you should address are: How did I get here? How long will my food and water last me? Where’s the closest river or stream? Where should I set up shelter? What’s the weather like? How long till it gets dark? How’s my health?

What To Do IF You Get Lost In The Woods

Once your mind is calm, observe your surroundings and try to get an idea where you’re located. Try and mentally retrace your steps. If it is safe to do so, then climb to the highest elevation possible to better assess your location. If such a venture will take significant time or energy, or you don’t feel confident in undertaking it, then DO NOT attempt it. Simply STAY PUT.

Pinpoint Your Location

Survival experts recommend that people who are lost in mountains or forests travel downhill. In most wildlife areas, it should take you no more than 20 hours of walking downhill to reach a town or city, or at least a road or established trail.Since most cities in the past were built near bodies of water, it’s likely you’ll come across other humans once you reach the stream’s source by heading in a downhill direction towards a valley. Not only are you more likely to come across civilization by walking downhill, it’s also easier on your body and will save you energy.

Travel Downhill

Keep your eyes (and ears) peeled for any and all traces of humans. Whether it’s some trash left behind by a non-practitioner of LNT, a trail or pathway, camping sites, or the sounds of people talking.If you can’t determine your location or navigate your way back to civilization, then you are best to STAY PUT and await rescue. While waiting for help to arrive, you should be aware of the biggest risks that you are likely to face and how to effectively handle them.

Stay Put If In Doubt

You can only survive three days without water. This timeframe, however, could be even shorter if you’re hiking in humid environments. On most trips, you’ll likely have brought H2O with you, but packing a water purifier such as the lifestraw could help save your life by allowing you to drink safely from wild water sources. Alternatively, if you have brought a stove or are adept at making fires, then boiling H2O from a stream will also make it safe to drink.

Dehydration

The onset of hypothermia is usually gradual, so you have to watch yourself carefully before the debilitating symptoms take hold of you.Hypothermia produces symptoms such as extreme shivering, weakened pulse, delirium, and poor balance. It’s far easier for you to contract hypothermia at night, especially if you’re in an area that’s damp.If you feel your temperature dropping, remove any wet clothes you have on because these only increase your risk of developing hypothermia. Use your emergency blanket and light a fire nearby to provide external heat. You can also drink warm water.

What To Do If You Get The Shivers

Cramps are an early warning sign that you’re dehydrated. As these symptoms appear, try to find a shaded area and drink purified water.Once you start to experience symptoms like nausea, clammy hands, or a fast pulse, you must lie down in the shade, sip a drink slowly, and sprinkle cool water all over your face and body.Finally, to avoid sunburn and eye damage, a container of high-grade sunscreen and a pair of sunglasses are musts if you’re hiking in high temps or areas where you’ll be exposed to the sun.

Heat Exhaustion

Food is important for giving you the energy you need to create and maintain your shelter, or to hike out to safety. Take stock of the food you’ve brought with you and work out how to stretch out your supply for as long as possible.Reserve your energy only for necessary tasks. With more energy in reserve, you’ll naturally require less food to survive.Whenever hunger cravings overwhelm your mind, just slow down, relax, and remember that humans can survive three weeks without food. After a few hours, your mind should become significantly less stressed.

Hunger

Now that you know the greatest risks to your safety, it’s time to learn how to keep yourself going while waiting on help while out in the wild.You need a cool head now more than ever. If you’ve never practised meditation before, now is as good a time as any to begin. Sit down and notice your in-breath and out-breath for 15 to 30 minutes. It takes about 30 mins or so for adrenaline to be broken down in your body. Allowing yourself this time to calm down will allow you to think much more clearly again.

Surviving While Awaiting Rescue: Stay Calm

If you have made the decision to wait out and be rescued then the first priority is locating a reliable water source nearby without wandering too far off.If you can’t find a stream or lake, consider hanging out a tarp to collect rainwater. While quite intensive, you can also use a piece of clothing to collect morning dew off plants and trees and wring the H2O out into a suitable container.

Find Some Water

In order to effectively ward off hypothermia, you need to create a reliable source of fire and find a good shelter. Besides a cave (uninhabited, of course), the best shelter for a cold night in the woods is a tent. If you don’t have a tent and can’t find a safe cave, then try to set up camp near fallen trees or by rock outcroppings.Anyone who doesn’t have an emergency tent with them can build a makeshift tent out of other materials like a tarp or a poncho. You’ll need to tie a rope or place a branch between two nearby trees before draping your tarp over.

Make A Shelter

Don’t walk around aimlessly for hours on end. Always think through your strategy before wasting your energy. You really need to watch how much energy you exert if you don’t have a huge food supply.When you need a break, then sit back, drink some water, eat something, get in your sleeping bag, and rest. Some hikers find it’s better to take catnaps throughout the day instead of sleeping all through the night. This is especially the case if you have trouble falling asleep in the woods after dusk.

Don't Burn Yourself Out

Make sure you are ready to signal potential rescuers. This could take many forms, such as blowing a whistle, flashing a mirror (or shiny metallic object) or even spelling “help” on the ground in an open area.If lost in the mountains, you should use the appropriate signals to alert mountain rescue planes or helicopter teams.

Signalling To The Rescuers

The most important thing before going on a hike is to let friends and family know where you’re going and for how long. Leave them a map of your planned route and any other pertinent information about your trip, i.e. direction of travel, parking location. This way, if you don’t return within the timeframe you’ve provided, then your loved ones can alert the authorities. Don’t get caught up in the mythos of the “rugged explorer.” Letting others know your whereabouts is a sign of maturity and it’s critical for your safety.

How To NOT Get Lost In The Woods: Tell Your Loved Ones Where You Are Headed

This is a great tip if you’re a beginner. It’s an even better idea to stay close to your home on your first hiking adventure. While it might not be as exciting as heading deep into the wilds, this is a great way to learn basic navigation skills in a safe environment.

Travel In Open Areas Or Popular Tourist Destinations

If you’re not too experienced with hiking or backpacking, there’s no shame in scheduling a tour with a guide, which is also a great way to learn the ropes before venturing out on your lonesome.While this tip is optional for easier hiking treks, it’s a requirement for all other times. There are plenty of websites where you can book guided hiking tours around the world, so there’s no excuse for going it alone in areas out of your comfort zone.

Travel With A Guide

You should know how to read scales on a map. The most common map is 1:25,000, which means one centimeter on the map translates to 250 meters on the ground. You should also be able to identify features on the map and understand contouring, both of which can help you navigate terrain safely.Figure out how to use a real compass. Invest in a high-quality compass you feel comfortable with and learn how to use it before your hike.

Learn Basic Navigation With A Map And Compass

Please remember to tell all your relations about your trip and carry your essential travel gear with you on the trail. These two preventative tips, along with the strategies listed above, could well prove critical in “surviving to tell the tale.”

Survival Tips

Would you know what to do if you get lost in the woods, mountains, or wilderness? Make sure to plan for the best, yet prepare for the worst with our practical survival guide.

You would think it inconceivable in our modern age that it could be possible to get lost in the woods, however, it still happens to around 2000 people annually. Find out how to not to become part of that statistic with our guide.

What to do if you get lost in the woods

One of the worst things that can happen during a boat outing is your vessel taking on water or worse, capsizing. So many things can go wrong on the water and at some point during your boating career you may be faced with the hard truth of a sinking boat. Maybe you hit a large wave, resulting in water crashing in or you’ve sprung a leak somewhere. Regardless of why your boat is taking on water, it’s important to know what to do and how to handle the situation. Here are some life-saving tips that can help you deal with a sinking boat.

What To Do If You Are On A Sinking Boat

If you don’t already have your life jacket on, make sure that yours is secure and ensure that everyone else does the same. It’s important to make sure that you put your jacket on first before you help anyone else. Make sure that your boat has enough life jackets and ones that fit appropriately. If there are children on board, be sure that they have properly fitting life jackets.

Wear A Life Jacket

Every boat should be equipped with an emergency VHF radio. They’re inexpensive and should be a requirement for any safe boater. When making your distress call, speak clearly and slowly. Be sure to announce the name of your vessel along with your coordinance, and a description of the emergency. It’s a good idea to give a description of your watercraft as well for when help arrives. Wait 10 seconds for a reply before repeating your distress.

Put In A Distress Call

If you're sinking boat isn’t caused by a crashing wave, there is likely a leak. Use old towels, seat cushions, or extra clothes aboard to plug a leak in the hull. Depending on what kind of boat you have and which side the leak is on, you can try to tilt the hole above the water by moving everything and everyone to the opposite side. This can slow or even prevent additional flooding.If you discover a burst hose, check to see if you are able to close the seacock to prevent additional water from flooding the deck.

Find And Plug The Leak

Your last line of defence when your boat is taking on water is to disconnect the engine’s intake hose and drop it in the bilge, causing the water levels to drop. Be sure to throttle back so you do not overheat the engine. Make sure you have thoroughly read your owner's manual before heading out on the water.

Use Bilge and Crash Pumps

<ul>
<li>Head Back to Shore: Regardless of how far offshore you are, start heading back to land. Get as close to shore as possible, avoiding high surf and large jagged rocks that could make things worse. </li>
<li>Take Necessary Supplies: When it’s time to call it quits and sinking is inevitable, don’t forget to take some important supplies with you. If possible, grab the emergency radio, a cell phone, food, and water. Keep waterproof bags aboard to help protect your supplies.</li>
</ul>

Tips And Further Advice

It’s important to know that no matter how much you prepare, accidents happen and situations can get out of control quickly. However, to prevent leaks and cracks in the hull, it’s important to perform regular maintenance on your boat. Properly store your boat out of the water on a boat lift when not in use. During off season months or period of prolonged inactivity, winterize and store your boat indoors. Be sure to check the hull regularly for any corrosion or possible cracks that can be quickly taken care of.

Tips for Preventing Leaks

What to do When Your Boat is Sinking

Disasters are inevitable — at some point in our lives, almost all of us will have a brush with an earthquake, flood, tornado, blizzard or storm. But there's no use in worrying yourself sick; the best way to defend yourself against any emergency is to have a disaster preparedness plan.Disaster prevention comes in many forms, from knowing what type of emergency to expect and packing an emergency preparedness kit to prepping your home and knowing how to return to it when the coast is clear. Follow these expert-sourced disaster preparedness tips to ensure you have a foolproof plan in place.

A Disaster Can Strike Anytime

<ul><li>Earthquakes: They can happen in all states at any time of year.</li><li>Wildfires: High risk in forested areas with little rain, such as Southern California.</li><li>Floods: The most common natural disaster can hit anywhere, but especially in low-lying areas.</li><li>Tornadoes: "Tornado Ally" includes the states of TX, OK, IA, KS, NE and OH, which are on alert from March to August.</li><li>Blizzards: They can occur wherever the temperature drops below freezing.</li><li>Storms and Hurricanes: The East and Gulf coasts are at high risk from June to November.</li></ul>

Emergency Kit List

When things get chaotic, you want to make sure that every family member knows what to do. We suggest designating two meeting places (one close by and one a little further away in your neighbourhood) and hanging a map with the spots marked near your emergency kit.Have important contacts written down if the power goes out and there's nowhere to charge your cell phone.  Leave a copy in your emergency kit, too. Establish a plan for checking in with relatives in case local lines get jammed. Text messages will often go through, even when phone lines are clogged.

Make an Action Plan

Keep important documents and papers that would be hard to replace sealed in a fireproof safe. If you have pets, make sure to include their vet records and their vaccination records; some vets and kennels won't admit your furry family without them. Veterans should make sure to include your DD-214, verifying your proof of military service. If flooding is common in your area, put documents in a zip-top bag or waterproof container as well.

Don't let your family rush back into your home without taking these precautions.Look for damage outside. Walk around the exterior and check for issues like loose or fallen power cables, damaged gas lines and cracks in the foundation or in beams. If you have trees nearby, carefully assess their stability.Note sounds and odours: Especially hissing noises or a smell of gas.Check inside. If the power is still out, use a flashlight (not a candle — open flames can burn items or cause gases to ignite) to assess the damage.

Return Safely

Inspect appliances. For small appliances like coffee makers and toasters, look closely at the cords for fraying or exposed wires before using them again. Fridges, ranges and washers can be more complicated; call a service company to check the safety of connections and components, then replace anything that’s severely damaged.Document the damage. It may be hard emotionally, but if you want to file an insurance claim, you’ll need a visual record of all the damage with clear pictures and thorough notes before you clean up.

Inspect And Document

These expert disaster preparedness tips will help you weather any storm — be it a hurricane, blizzard, tornado, flood, wildfire, or earthquake — in the safest way possible. 

How to Prepare Your Home for an Emergency, According to Experts

If you question your beliefs enough, you end up with nothing but the pieces of a game. You end up with an understanding that everything that we can make sense of with words is a human construct that does not have a base of absolute truth.These constructs are what anchor your mind to reality. These constructs create the game that we’ve unconsciously built ourselves into.When you are aware of this game, you can learn to win it.

The Game

It is rare to see somebody that is living a passionate, zestful life.It is rarer to see somebody that willingly “works” all day.Building, writing, contemplating, curious, experiencing, diving deep into the unknown, and meditating on the problems that keep them up at night.Something has to change.If your future is the result of societal education and conditioning, it is safe to say you will have the same future as everyone else. And to be frank, that doesn’t seem very enticing.

Breaking Free Of The Conditioned Path

If you are lost, the answer is education. If you are educated, the answer is action. If you are acting, the answer is consistency.

Nothing worthwhile is predictable. There is not a set path. You cannot expect one, because if there were one, it would be taught in schools.The people that get paid the most are not those that are trained into an occupation constructed by society. Anybody can do that. That is how you become a “cog in the machine.”You’re reading this letter because you have a (good) desire for more in life. You want to bridge the gap between work and life. You want to live a life of zest, passion, and deep satisfaction for the domain you decide to pursue with full force.

Being Lost Is Inevitable When Pursuing An Original Path

You have to revive your child-like curiosity, feel into it, and let it guide you throughout life. Some people use the words intuition, your “calling,” your purpose, or anything else that refers to tapping into the intelligent voice inside you (that everyone is born with).A good place to start is to think about your childhood. Did you have a natural affinity towards anything? Did you gravitate towards specific interests? Some people may have a slight inclination towards sound, making them want to get into music.

The Path Of Self-Education

Diving real deep into a particular interest is how you pursue a truly unique path.Your curiosity would eventually lead you to something that seems completely unrelated to your the interest you initially chose. This differentiates you from the sea of individuals pursuing a set path — giving you informational leverage that you can charge big bucks for.

Diving Deep

It is the simple commitment to never rely on anything but yourself to actualize your potential.Money is no longer optional. The need for money is encoded in the system. We don’t live in huts or hunt our own food anymore. Our psyche remains the same — wired for survival — but the environment we live in is completely different.The first thing you should begin educating yourself on is a skill that will eventually help you make money. This can be anything really, but marketable skills are usually the best option (and beginner-level information is readily available online).

Adopt A Life Of Self-Education

The Domain Of Mastery has you choose 3 interests: What excites you, what lets you earn, and what develops you.By studying these and improving your skillset, you are diving deeper into the unknown. You are exposing yourself to information that schools won’t teach you.The thing that most people don’t understand is that in order to be a Master Of One, you have to be a jack of all trades. You have to dive deep into the iceberg of awareness if you want to be creative in that domain.

The Domain Of Mastery

Being a specialist can be trained. We are not trying to do something that others can be trained into.As you dive deeper into these interests, you will realize that they all lead to the same thing — which is life itself. The universe is a giant mind. A network of complex and creative systems.

The Specialist

When you learn Photoshop, aside from knowing how to navigate the software, there are only a few things you need to know — the principles.Selections, masks, and adjustment layers.When you understand those, you can pretty much create anything you would need (unless the project demands something more.This is true with almost anything. When you understand the principles, you can accomplish 80% of the work you would need to get done in that domain.

Study The Principles

Find a congruent voice that you can learn from.You may or may not get useful information from someone who talks strictly about business.Search for books, social media accounts, podcasters, YouTubers, and any other information you can find on your topic of interest. If what they teach does not register with you, find another mentor that has a congruent voice you can make sense of (and are excited to learn from).

Find “Mentors”

Kickstart a personal brand to post your learnings online. That alone will force you to understand money-making skills if you want to see real progress. Copywriting, marketing, persuasion, sales, etc are all necessary to put out an impactful message and turn your interests into income.Remember, you can only learn so much by learning. You have to apply what you learn if you want to open new mental pathways to explore.If you keep things in your head, you will get stuck in a loop of learning the same thing over and over without moving to the next level. You need real-world feedback.

Start A Real-World Project

Once the principles are solidified in your head and you are actively struggling/failing with your real-world project — you will start to recognize patterns in everyday life.Creating content brings an entirely new sense of enjoyment to life. Pattern recognition increases dopamine levels in the brain (because you are hunting for your survival). You start to recognize things you never have before — because they actually have a use case now.You start to appreciate the depth that life has to offer when you have something to apply your everyday experiences to — writing content online.

Observe The Connections

States are temporary.Stages are permanent.You can have a high month in business — which is a state — but it may not be maintained month to month.But, if you develop your business leverage to a point where it’s near impossible to dip under $20K a month, that is a stage.You can enter a flow state, or you can develop yourself to a point of being in a perpetual degree of flow (see: enlightenment).You can have a burst of creativity, or you can develop yourself to a point of having a baseline level of creativity.This is true for most traits, skills, and domains of life.

States And Stages

Most of your problems stem from mental limitations and blockages. If you want to master all areas of life, mental mastery must be at the top of your list.

As you dive deeper into your Domain Of Mastery, it will demand a certain amount of cognitive development to reach the next “stage.”When you reach this first stage, you are ready to start monetizing.Your job is to help people reach that stage of development faster than you did with what you learned along the way.You do this by selling a creative solution that will help someone navigate your path in less time.

The Path That You Discover

By helping others reach that developmental stage that you have (whether it’s free or paid) you are forced to organize the information and make connections.This will open up the room to reach your next developmental stage faster.When you have everything you’ve made sense of packaged up and hosted in the digital world — you don’t have to worry about it anymore. You get to build on top of it. Iteration.By doing this consistently over a 2-3 year span, you will bust through new stages of development, help others get there, and gain a deep satisfaction for life in general.

Being A Guiding Light

If you are intentional and actively expanding your awareness in search of your life’s work, you will find it. Here are two questions to meditate on:<ul><li>What is the BIG problem you want to solve in the world? The one that keeps you up at night.</li><li>What is the BIG problem you want to solve in your life? The one you know is holding you back.</li></ul>

Finding Your Calling

<ul><li>They don’t take themselves or their message seriously. They are too afraid of external judgement, it dilutes their message, and they get stuck in a developmental stage.</li><li>They are too focused on the money. This is fine at first, but given time leads to a lack of meaning and fulfilment in the work you’ve built yourself into. It becomes another 9-5 instead of your life’s work.</li><li>They do not see the value in consistent self-development (or they refuse to develop critical aspects that hold other aspects behind). Hence limiting their personal, creative, and professional potential.</li></ul>

Common Problems Of The Majority of People

<ul><li>Choose 3 interests that you are genuinely curious about.</li><li>Begin studying them via books and online content from a congruent voice that you are excited to learn with.</li><li>Build a real-world project and do not suppress the problems that come up. YOU will need to change at some point. You will lose some people and things from your life as your development demands.</li><li>If you stay on the unconventional path for more than 6 months — you will understand on a deep, internal level that it is impossible to fail.</li></ul>

The Three Takeaways

Your Life's Work is what your calling is and how you balance your work life.

Humans have an innate language instinct, which allows them to tackle communication on a whole other level.<ul><li>Since children learn grammar without studying it, they must have an innate capability to understand it.</li><li>There are two central principles behind all languages, which make them learnable.</li><li>You don’t have to worry about correct grammar so much, as its rules are only one part of using language correctly.</li></ul>

A Natural At Learning Languages

<ul><li> Language is the biological adaptation to communicate.</li><li> There have been anthropological studies of tribes that had no contact with the larger world until the 1920s. Among those tribes, language was acquired seamlessly, without specific instruction. </li><li>The human capacity for language is termed by the author as “Mentalese.” </li><li>Humans acquired language through their biology. This innate possession of language a “Universal Grammar.”</li><li>This proclamation ran counter to the social science theories of the time, which contended that language had to be deliberately taught by adults.</li></ul>

Defining Language

Since children learn languages as early as 18 months old, but can only learn from observing adults that do it the right way, they have no way of actively telling what’s right from wrong – they’re not studying languages, they just absorb them.Yet they still apply the right rules at the right time. For example, even deaf children apply the correct grammar, just by learning sign language from their parents.

Early Instinct

Children have a “window” for maximum language learning, while adults tend to have trouble learning a second language. This window must exist because children around four years old learn grammar and vocabulary so quickly; this exponential learning cannot be explained by adult intervention or guidance. Language learning can be encouraged, and children must be in a social environment to absorb language, but the exact words they remember and the grammar they display probably has a biological basis.

The Window To Learn A Language

All languages are based on the same two core principles.How come we can talk so effortlessly to one another? What is it about language that makes it so easy to communicate with it? There are two forces at play here:<ul><li>The arbitrariness of the sign.</li><li>Our infinite use of finite media.</li></ul>

The Two Core Principles

The form words take doesn’t have a direct relation to their meaning.For example the word “cat” doesn’t sound like a cat. The sound cats make is “meow” and they’re silent when they walk, whereas “cat” is a pretty strong, snappy, short and loud word.This is a good thing, because it keeps us from trying to decipher what the word “cat” means by thinking about the way it sounds and instead lets us jump instantly to the result, because we’ve paired the word with the image through generations of rote learning instead.

Signs Are Arbitrary

This principle allows us to express anything and everything, because even though the number of words in any given language is limited, the number of combinations of words isn’t. Since we use the rules of grammar to create our own sentences, we’re not limited in how much we can express, which makes it easier to get your point across.

Infinite Use Of Finite Media

Grammar is a crucial part of language, and it pays to know it well. However, while you’d be punished horribly in school in the 1920s for bad grammar, today it’s not such a big deal, mainly because grammar rules are only one type of rules that determine how well you use language.Grammar rules are prescriptive, which means they tell us how we’re supposed to talk or write. More and more though, scientists are concerned with descriptive rules, which describe how we actually talk.

Grammar Is Getting Worse, But It's Okay

You can be very much descriptively correct with your grammar, while being wrong in a prescriptive sense, just like a driver can follow the rules of physics in his car while breaking the laws of the country he’s driving in. Correct grammar is very much a relative thing, so don’t stress too much about it!

The Right Grammar Is Subjective

The theory that language is an instinct has opened up the possibility that humans have had access to language learning for about 2.5 million years. There are specific genes and regions of the brain that develop to allow the individual to practice language.While popular media accounts claim that chimpanzees can learn American Sign Language, most data suggest that chimpanzees are not mentally wired to acquire language. They lack the language instinct that humans possess.

Our Brains Are Hard-Wired For Learning Language

The audible signals people can produce are not a series of crisp beeps like on a touch-tone phone. Speech is a river of breath, bent into hisses and hums by the soft flesh of the mouth and throat.

Humans are so innately hardwired for language that they can no more suppress their ability to learn and use language than they can suppress the instinct to pull a hand back from a hot surface.

 We are born with an innate capability to understand languages.

The classic book on the development of human language by the world’s leading expert on language and the mind. In this classic, the world's expert on language and mind lucidly explains everything you always wanted to know about language: how it works, how children learn it, how it changes, how the brain computes it, and how it evolved. With deft use of examples of humor and wordplay, Steven Pinker weaves our vast knowledge of language into a compelling story: language is a human instinct, wired into our brains by evolution. The Language Instinct received the William James Book Prize from the American Psychological Association and the Public Interest Award from the Linguistics Society of America. This edition includes an update on advances in the science of language since The Language Instinct was first published.

The Language Instinct

The old school method of job progression is dead for two reasons:<ul><li>Job security is dead, no more staying at the one company forever.</li><li>The internet and technology has created the means for much more flexible work styles.</li></ul>

The Death Of Job Security

Entrepreneurship is like dating – failures are unavoidable and are a part of learning. What matters most is resilience.If the pursuit of a risky dream imparts useful business skills along the journey, then even in the worst case, the pursuer ends up learning useful skills.

That Risky Dream

<ul><li>Street smarts & practice, where you’ve learned it “in the real world” and know how to apply it. Only learned by doing it.</li><li>Theoretical, abstract knowledge you get from books and school that doesn’t have a tie to your experience and the real world. Harder to apply.</li></ul>

Two Kinds Of Knowledge

Impact requires venturing into the unknown (whose risk most people avoid) and leadership (which acts as a multiplier of impact).Four steps:<ul><li>Get financial stability: Get rid of debts, and have some savings.</li><li>Create room for experimentation: Figure out a job schedule which allows for experimentation</li><li>Begin experimentation: Use money from step 1 to experiment around (while keeping the source of money around)</li><li>Strike out on your own: Either as a part of the current organization or on your own, follow the direction set by a successful experiment from step 3</li></ul>

Making An Impact: On Your Own

Two powerful questions for making connections and providing value to people:<ul><li>What’s most exciting for you right now in your life/ business?</li><li>What’s challenging for you in your life/ business right now?</li></ul>

The Two Questions

Great networking is not about the back-and-forth, it’s about giving with no expectation of anything in return.There are two basic ways to find great connections<ul><li>Find people with great future potential and help them in reaching their goal</li><li>Add some value to the life of someone who is already established (common areas being personal finance, relationships, health, hobbies, and causes or a specialized skill which could be of use to the receiver) or connect them to someone where a connection could create a win-win potential for both parties</li></ul>

Making Worthwhile Connections

The general perception of marketing is that it’s sleazy and manipulative, the reality is that good marketing is making your potential customers know about you (or your company).A lot of businesses fail because they are not able to reach out to the right customers.

Marketing: Don't Let Your Company Remain Obscure

Move out of that bad job and do something on our own.

Some of the smartest, most successful people in the country didn’t finish college. None of them learned their most critical skills at an institution of higher education. And like them, most of what you’ll need to learn to be successful you’ll have to learn on your own, outside of school. Michael Ellsberg set out to fill in the missing pieces by interviewing a wide range of millionaires and billionaires who don’t have college de­grees, including fashion magnate Russell Simmons and Facebook found­ing president Sean Parker. This book is your guide to developing practical success skills in the real world: how to find great mentors, build a world-class network, make your work meaningful (and your meaning work), build the brand of you, and more. Learning these skills is a necessary addition to any education, whether you’re a high school dropout or graduate of Harvard Law School.
