According to a 2008 study: Giving money/effort (even a small amount) had a strong impact on happiness. This effect is boosted if the receiver actually needs the help

Give money/effort to those in need

When we are not focusing on what we're doing, we tend to be far less happy than when we are fully engaged.- Laundry - Dishes - CookingWhether it's an activity you enjoy or not put as much of your focus into it as you can.

Leverage the -"focus system"

More flexibility = more happiness (right?)Not necessarily.Studies show that when we make a choice and are forced to stick to it, we are happier than if we have the option to change our mind. If you make a decision - think of it as a final decision

A common trap people fall into: Believing that happiness is a destination. In reality, happiness is more like a skill. A set of habits you can practice and improve over time.

I explain the science of happiness, including the different types of happiness and how our actions, circumstances and mindset control them. While it is difficult to standardize happiness from one person to the next, I outline a structured framework of what is critical to increasing your innate “natural happiness,” including financial security, purposeful work and relationships, and I explain specific tools to increase internal happiness (so-called “synthetic happiness”). I review how specific types of human connection and attention to our choices (or lack thereof) can increase or undermine our level of happiness. I also discuss the importance of certain types of physical contact, gratitude, financial choices and volunteer contributions that research shows can maximize happiness. And I discuss how factors such as children, pets, physical well-being, substance use, prior traumas and life-phase milestones affect our quest for and depth of happiness.

How to Become Mentally Stronger

The video explores how living to adulthood in the modern era is a statistical anomaly. Today's average global life expectancy of 73 years is unprecedented in human history. Most humans throughout time never experienced life beyond childhood due to high mortality rates, making our long lifespans today truly remarkable.

The Rarity of Modern Human Existence

Despite today's large population of 8 billion, over half of all humans who ever lived (about 60 billion) did so before 100 CE. This counterintuitive fact is explained by historically high birth rates coupled with extremely high infant and child mortality rates, resulting in smaller but more frequently replaced populations.

From Billions to Millions

The video details the historically high rates of infant and child mortality. In some agricultural societies, at least one in three children died before age 20. As recently as 1750 in Bavaria, 50% of children died before age 15. These high mortality rates significantly impacted population growth and life expectancy throughout history.

Childhood Mortality: A Grim Reality of the Past

Reaching adulthood today is an experience most humans throughout history never had. The video contrasts our current life expectancy with historical norms, emphasizing how modern medicine, technology, and improved living conditions have dramatically increased our chances of surviving childhood and living long lives.

The Modern Miracle: Living Past 20"
Summary

The video reflects on humanity's remarkable advancements, from basic survival needs to modern conveniences and scientific understanding. It highlights how half of all humans who ever lived never knew of inventions like mechanical clocks, eyeglasses, or even basic concepts like gravity, emphasizing the rapid pace of human innovation in recent centuries.

Human Innovation: From Survival to Luxury"
Summary

Summary: Drawing from Yuval Noah Harari's ideas, the video discusses potential future goals for humanity. Having largely overcome issues of starvation, disease, and violence, our species may now aim for even loftier achievements: overcoming death itself, achieving true happiness, and potentially upgrading humans to a godlike status through continued innovation.Cop

The Next Frontier: Immortality, Happiness, and Divinity

I liked this video because it puts into perspective just how lucky we are, considering we have a high life expectancy!

Most People Have Never Been Adults

Ever heard of the book "Shogun", the book by James Clavell? It recently got adapted to a very successful TV series.It's historical fan fiction, but with a real-life protagonist! The story is based on none other than Ieyasu Tokugawa, the shogun who brought Japan together. He is called Toranaga in the book, while John Blackthorne, the English main character, is modeled after a real person named William Adams.While the names in the book are changed, the epic tale of power, strategy, and really cool samurai outfits is all inspired by Ieyasu's life. Talk about living a life worthy of a bestseller!

From Historical Figure to Literary Legend

Before Ieyasu, Japan was broken into hundreds of kingdoms, all fighting against each-other.Plot twist: Japan's "great unifier" isn't just one person - it's a trio! The unification process got started by a brutal warlord named Oda Nobunaga. Oda had 2 wingmen: Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Tokugawa Ieyasu. After Nobunaga's death, Hideyoshi got the "crown" and Ieyasu only became shogun after his death.Ieyasu outlasted the other two, proving that in the game of thrones (Japanese edition), it's not about who unifies first, but who unifies last.

The Great Unifier... Or One of Them, Anyway

Ieyasu's greatest hit? That would be Edo, better known today as Tokyo - you know, just the largest city in the world!It's like he founded ancient Japan's version of New York City. Ieyasu took a sleepy fishing village and turned it into the coolest spot in Japan. Fast forward a few centuries, and his little pet project is now a bustling metropolis of neon lights, bullet trains, and more vending machines than you can shake a katana at. Not bad for a guy from the 17th century!

Edo: Ieyasu's Urban Legacy

Most of those awesome samurai stories, ninja legends, and geisha tales? They're not from the war-torn times you'd expect, but from the peaceful Edo period that Ieyasu kicked off. It's like the warriors got bored without all the fighting and decided to become history's coolest liberal arts majors.With no wars to wage, they turned to arts, literature, and probably inventing really elaborate tea ceremonies. It's thanks to this era that we have all those cool Japanese cultural exports. Ieyasu essentially turned warriors into poets - now that's what you call a plot twist!

Prelude to Shogun

When Abraham Lincoln entered the world, the Republican Party was just a twinkle in the eye of history. The Republican party emerged from the ashes of the Whigs party, which dissolved itself not being able to take a position on slavery.Lincoln didn't just join the party; he became its poster child, snagging the title of first Republican president.

The Birth of a Republican Icon

Lincoln's nickname "Honest Abe" wasn't a campaign gimmick - he earned those stripes way back in his Illinois days. As a young lawyer, he built a reputation for being more truthful than a polygraph machine. Taking on cases for the poor and unrepresented also added to his good reputation.In a world of smooth-talking lawyers, Lincoln was refreshingly blunt.

Honest Abe: The OG Truth-Teller

Abraham Lincoln recently got portrayed as a monster hunter in books & on the big screen. Historically infused entertainment!Was Lincoln really a vampire hunter? Well, he was tall, handy with an axe, and definitely took down some metaphorical monsters. The whole vampire thing is a clever analogy for his fight against slavery, with slave owners cast as the bloodsuckers. While he never actually staked any undead, Lincoln did drive a stake through the heart of the institution of slavery. No garlic or silver bullets required!

Vampire Hunter or Metaphorical Monster Slayer?

Contrary to popular belief, Lincoln didn't come out swinging against slavery from day one of his presidency. He played it cool for the first couple of years, trying to keep the Union intact.How about the famous Emancipation Proclamation? The key document that freed all slaves in the US? It was a strategic move, dropping only after the Union scored a battlefield win at Antietam. Timing was everything - he needed to look like a bold leader, not a desperate one. Especially as the big European powers (the British and the French) were watching the US Civil War, undecided which side to lean on.

The Emancipation Proclamation: A Well-Timed Power Move

Contrary to what you might think, Lincoln didn't dash off the Gettysburg Address right after the battle's gun smoke cleared. Nope, he delivered that famous speech a full six months after the battle, during a visit to dedicate the battlefield.It's like showing up fashionably late to a party, but then giving a toast so good that everyone forgets you weren't there for the main event. Lincoln's words turned a belated appearance into one of history's most memorable speeches.

The Gettysburg Address: Fashion Late, Historically Great

Had John Wilkes Booth (the infamous assassin at the theatre) not turned Lincoln into a martyr, history might remember Honest Abe a bit differently. Sure, he freed the slaves, but he also made some controversial calls:<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">Going to war instead of respecting states' rights? Check.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Censoring the press and jailing political opponents? Double check.</li></ul>Lincoln's presidency was more complex than a game of 4D chess. His assassination, tragic as it was, solidified his spot in the pantheon of presidential greats.

Lincoln's Complicated Legacy

Surprising facts about the 16th president. Discover his whole story on the Paladin app.

Prelude to Lincoln

Surprise! Cleopatra, Egypt's most famous pharaoh, was actually Greek. She ruled from Alexandria, a city founded by her Greek predecessor, Alexander the Great. And since then, her family was acting as the "face of Egypt", while secretly living Greek lives, isolated from any Egyptian cultural interference!In this sense Cleopatra was a bit of a rebel as she apparently took interest in the language and culture of her subjects. She was the first in her family to do so in about 300 years. Too bad she was also the last.

The Greek Pharaoh of Egypt

During Cleopatra's reign, Alexandria boasted a unique tourist attraction: Alexander the Great's tomb. This ancient world wonder drew powerful Romans like Caesar and Antony, eager for a brush with legendary greatness.Their visits to Alexander's resting place symbolized the deep connections between Hellenistic and Roman cultures, and highlighted Alexandria's significance in the ancient world. Cleopatra likely used these visits to enhance her own prestige and strengthen diplomatic ties.

In the Shadow of Alexander's Legacy

The legendary Library of Alexandria met a fiery fate during Cleopatra's time, thanks to a royal sibling squabble gone wrong. As Caesar battled Cleopatra's brother, the grand repository of knowledge accidentally went up in flames.This catastrophic loss of countless scrolls marked the end of an era in human learning. Lesson learned: family feuds and priceless libraries don't mix well.

The Great Library Bonfire: An Accidental Inferno

Much of Cleopatra's story comes from Roman sources – talk about a biased history lesson! As a female absolute ruler and living goddess, she embodied everything Romans loved to hate. Cue the ancient world's biggest smear campaign!They painted her as a seductress and threat when really, she was out there running an empire and serving diplomatic realness. This propaganda overshadowed her intelligence and political savvy, proving that fake news isn't just a modern problem.

Cleopatra: Victim of History's Oldest Smear Campaign

The Ptolemaic dynasty turned family drama into an extreme sport. Cleopatra's dynasty was notorious for its brutality, with family members often murdering each other for power. Cleopatra herself was not exempt from this ruthless tradition, allegedly responsible for the deaths of her two younger brothers and her sister.This familial violence, while shocking by modern standards, was often a necessity for survival in the cutthroat world of ancient politics.

"A variable is a property that takes on different values. Putting it redundantly, a variable is something that varies."

In research, identifying and <a href="https://writelerco.com/research-variables-4-easy-ways-to-identify/">defining variables</a> is a fundamental step that determines the direction and validity of the study. Variables are the building blocks of research, providing a framework for data collection and analysis.They allow researchers to operationalize concepts, making them measurable and comparable. This process involves converting broad concepts into specific, observable, and quantifiable elements, which can be analyzed to draw meaningful conclusions.Understanding variables and their types is essential for designing effective research studies and ensuring accuracy.

Identifying Research Variables

A <a href="https://writelerco.com/research-variables-4-easy-ways-to-identify/">variable </a>is an element, feature, or factor that can be measured or quantified. It represents a concept that can vary and is essential for data collection and analysis in research.Variables are essential components in research, providing a framework for data collection and analysis. They help transform abstract concepts into measurable and comparable elements.The identification and classification of variables significantly influence the research design, data collection methods, and analysis techniques, ultimately affecting the study's outcomes and conclusions.

What is a Variable?

Concepts are abstract ideas or mental images, while variables are measurable representations of these concepts.Variables provide a way to quantify and analyze concepts.

The Difference Between a Concept and a Variable

This involves identifying indicators that reflect the concept and then defining these indicators as measurable variables. This process ensures consistency and clarity in research.

Converting Concepts into Variable

<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">Independent Variable- This is the variable that is manipulated or controlled by the researcher to observe its effect on the dependent variable.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Dependent Variable- This variable is the outcome or effect that is measured in the study. It reflects the impact of the independent variable.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Extraneous Variable- These are variables that may affect the dependent variable and need to be controlled or accounted for to prevent them from confounding the results.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Intervening Variable- It is a variable that helps to explain the relationship between the independent and dependent variables.</li></ul>

Types of Variables

In causal studies, independent variables are the cause, while dependent variables are the effect. Extraneous variables may influence the relationship between them.

From the Viewpoint of a Causal Relationship

Variables can be active or attribute-based. Active variables can be manipulated, while attribute variables are inherent characteristics of the study population.

From the Viewpoint of the Study Design

Measurement scales determine how variables are categorized and analyzed, ranging from nominal to ratio scales.

Types of Measurement Scales

This scale categorizes variables without any quantitative value, such as gender or religion.Examples<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">Gender: Classifying individuals as male, female, or non-binary.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Religion: Categorizing people as Christian, Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, or Jewish.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Marital Status: Sorting individuals into categories such as single, married, divorced, or widowed.</li></ul>

The Nominal or Classificatory Scale

This scale ranks variables in order, but the intervals between ranks are not equal, such as satisfaction levels.Examples<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">Education Level: Ranking individuals based on their highest level of education attained, such as high school, bachelor's degree, master's degree, or doctorate.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Customer Satisfaction: Rating customer satisfaction on a scale from very dissatisfied, dissatisfied, neutral, satisfied, to very satisfied.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Socioeconomic Status: Ordering individuals into categories like low, middle, and high socioeconomic status based on income and other factors.</li></ul>

The Ordinal or Ranking Scale

Interval scales have equal intervals between values but no true zero, while ratio scales have a true zero, allowing for a full range of mathematical operations.Examples<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">Temperature: Measuring temperature in degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit, where the difference between values is meaningful, but there is no true zero point.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Height: Measuring height in centimeters or inches, where a true zero exists, allowing for meaningful comparisons and mathematical operations.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Weight: Recording weight in kilograms or pounds, where a true zero point allows for meaningful ratios and comparisons.</li></ul>

The Interval and Ratio Scales

"If it exists, it can be measured."

Problem Solving

Hashing is a process of converting any data (text, image, file, etc.) into a fixed-size string of characters, often represented as a number or code. This string is called a hash value or digest.

Hashing

One-way function: A hash cannot be reversed to obtain the original data.Fixed-size output: Regardless of the input size, the hash is always the same length.Deterministic: The same input always produces the same hash.Avalanche effect: Even a small change in the input data results in a drastically different hash.

Key characteristics of hashing

Imagine you have a document. A hashing algorithm takes this document and processes it through a complex mathematical function. The output is a unique hash value, a string of characters.

How It Works

Instead of storing plain text passwords, websites store hashed versions. If a hacker gets access to the database, they only have the hash, not the actual password.

Password Storage

Hashing is used to verify data hasn't been altered. For example, downloading a file and then hashing it can confirm if the downloaded file is identical to the original.

Data Integrity

Hashing is fundamental to blockchain, where each block contains a hash of the previous block, creating a chain of blocks.

Blockchain technology

Hashing is used to create digital signatures, ensuring data authenticity and integrity.

Digital Signature

hashing is a powerful tool for data security, integrity, and efficiency.

Hashing: A Simple Explanation

Good posture, like standing up straight with your shoulders back, makes you look confident and smart. It shows that you feel good about yourself and are ready for anything. Making eye contact when talking to someone also shows confidence. It means you're focused, paying attention, and willing to connect with others. But be careful not to stare, as it can make people uncomfortable. It's important to strike the right balance.

STAND TALL AND HAVE EYE CONTACT

There's a reason we have two ears and one mouth we should listen more than we speak. When you really listen to others, it shows respect and thoughtfulness. Good listeners are often seen as smart because they take time to understand others before sharing their own views. It's a strong skill that can demonstrate your intelligence and confidence in any situation, without you having to say much.

LISTEN MORE THAN YOU SPEAK

ress for the job you want, not the job you have." It might sound like a cliché, but there's a lot of truth to it. It's not about wearing expensive brands or following fashion trends, but about how you present yourself. Dressing well can boost your confidence and also affect how others see you. Whether it's a business meeting or a casual lunch, take some time to choose your outfit. The right clothes can make you look and feel confident without saying a word.

DRESS TO IMPRESS

Having a growth mindset is a strong sign of personal development. People with this mindset believe they can improve their skills and intelligence through hard work and learning. By seeing challenges as chances to learn, using the idea of "not yet" when you face difficulties, and celebrating your efforts and progress, you can develop a growth mindset and reach your full potential.
