Albedo is measured on a scale of 0 to 1. A 0 means that the surface of a material absorbs all of the sunlight that hits it. A 1 means that a material reflects all of the light energy that hits it. In other words, a 1 on the albedo scale means 100 percent reflection. A 0 means no reflection.

You need to develop more than simply technical skills, unfortunately. As we enter the fourth industrial revolution and the pace of change quickens, the skills required to prosper in the workplace evolve as well. 1. Critical Thinking The most important ability to develop for success in this age of fake news, social media bubbles, and information overload is critical thinking.  Thinking critically entails evaluating issues and circumstances in light of the available data rather than rumour, one's own biases, or personal views. By using critical thinking, you may determine what is true and what is not in a range of scenarios by challenging the reliability of the evidence.

2. Creativity “Steal like an artist. Or go wild: Take it a step further and cheat like a freaking champion.” - Austin Kleon

3. Digital Literacy “We are analog beings living in a digital world, facing a quantum future.” - Neil Turok

4. Data Literacy For most companies, data is now one of their most important and valuable business assets, which means organizations will want to employ people that are able to take data and use it effectively. In the average business context, data literacy means being able to access appropriate data and work with it confidently. To cultivate data literacy, working on extracting meaning from data and communicating data-based insights to others. With data literacy, you'll also be able to question the integrity and validity of any data you are working with rather than just blindly following the information you are given. “Data is the new oil”- Clive Humby

5. Emotional Intelligence Emotional intelligence is the ability to express and control our emotions. An emotionally intelligent person is aware of how their emotions influence their own behaviours and impact others around them and can manage those emotions accordingly. I believe empathy – the ability to see the world from someone else's perspective – is a key component of emotional intelligence.

“If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader .” - John Quincy Adams

“Develop success from failures. Discouragement and failure are two of the surest stepping stones to success.” - Dale Carnegie

SKILLS OF 2030 - The top 10 most in-demand skills for the next 10 years

We become perfectionists from a primary sense of being unworthy, flawed, a disappointment, a letdown, a nuisance.Result: So powerful is this sense, that we are ready to do more or less anything to expunge it.

What Is It ?

Our brain promises our mind, that after the completion of next task we will get dropped into the peace pool, but we are clearly lying to ourselves in the mirror.Result: We aren't fascinated in doing the perfect work, we are trying to escape ourselves from a awful reality.

Fake Promise

"Perfectionsm isn't as much desire for excellence, as it isbtge fear of failure couched in procrastination

These ill-prevention driven thinking can create a paramount of anxiety, hidden-fear, resistive behavior leading to long-time destructive nature.

‘Perfectionists’ are generally held in high-esteem: praised for their self-discipline and refusal to compromise.

How Perfectionism Makes Us Ill

If someone makes a joke out of you, it will only harm you if you let it. Not making eye-contact, not reacting, starting a different meaningful conversation are some usual ways.Result: We want people to act as we will, but reality teaches that people have their own will. Their behaviour isn't up to us.

Joke Mentality

"Add nothing of your own from within & that's the 3nd of it.

In a short hand, we could influence them, but usually they end up following their own mind.Result: Stop spending your precious time on changing their ideology, they will think & speak as they wish, it is a 90% universal rule.

Mindlock Ideology 

Spring-Summer-Rainy-WinterEverything is a cycle as your life. This means temporary. You have got very limited time to live, don't consume it thinking about these temporary human actions.Result: Focus on permanent changes established by the world leaders.

Tempor

Nobody escapes misfortunes, instead of complaining for a bad-luck free life, we should build our fortitude to stupendously handle the adversities.Result: Only a selective things are controllable so, target them, apart from the tragedies which are out of control.

Misfortune 

We pray to the God for preventing the uncertainties, but nonetheless they occur. So, start accepting the post-tragedic situation.Result: Start accepting that you will earn less rather than hustling unnecessarily at a time, disrupting the environment.

Accept The Uncertainty 

Which of the things around us should we value when none of them can offer a firm foothold?Like an attachment to a sparrow: we glimpse it & its gone.

Stoicism for Inner Peace (book): https://einzelganger.co/innerpeace Although he never considered himself a philosopher, Marcus Aurelius’ writings have become one of the most significant ancient Stoic scriptures. His ‘Meditations’ contain a series of notes to himself based on Stoic ideas, one of which is embracing fate and living conformably to the demands of nature.

InspiQuests are the questions which highly influence any professional. Bill Gates, Gautam Adani & Warren Buffet use them since their beginning.

InspiQuest

What difference did you make ?Bill Gates spend atleast 8 hrs working when he aged 19, whereas we spend less than 2 hrs in working.Result: When procrastinating we need to ask ourselves the same InspiQuest.

InspiQuest1

Are you repeating the same shity mistakes ?Peter Thiel (Founder of PayPal) shared his experienced in certain interviews, where his decision-making was a solo loss making factor, which he never repeated even for his habits.Result: Never repeating the same shit saves minimum of 23 days in a month.

InspiQuest-2

What sacrifice did you make, to let worth it count ?"Losses are the drops of blood which you give" says Warren Buffet. As every dark cloud has a silver lining, your sacrifices never fail they always count.Result: Remember every second counts. The individuals thinking of restarting, should aim for a inspirational figure & begin. Sacrifices are irreversible.

InspiQuest-3

"I was very calm & sane, during the night when I was kidnapped in 1997"If things aren't controllable stop worrying, nothing will grow much bigger as a tree when overthinking.

Why are you undervaluing yourself ?Generally, you are a inch away for reaching your Goldberg, for which you are in the digging process since last 7 yrs, when you stop your shovel.Result: When you stop digging is the time, you start undervaluing yourselves.

InspiQuest-4

There isn't any perfect formula to identify stock market. Everything is predictive and what everybody does is TRY!!!

Mind Wars By Bill Gates

When I wrote The Global Brain, forty years ago, we were in the very early stages of computer networking. These early networks soon became the Internet, and later the Worldwide Web. From that came a whole plethora of innovations: streaming video, online shopping, news and banking, social media, the cloud, and more; not to mention the now ubiquitous website. However, it was generally just data, spread over a global network, one as complex as the human brain with exceedingly efficient search, but still just information of one kind or another.

Forty Years Ago

Now a whole new dimension is being added: AI (artificial intelligence). It has been there behind the scenes for several years, but is now becoming available to the everyday user.A language processing AI called GPT-3, which can process this global data and summarize it in good English (and several other languages) is now catching the headlines in the form of ChatGPT—an app that anyone can access, ask questions, and get remarkably good answers. You can, for example, ask it write an essay about some specialist scientific subject, and be blown away by the results.

A Whole New Dimension

Write a poem about spiritual concept in the style of Shakespeare (say). Or find an error in your computer code. The possibilities seem almost endless. ChatGPT was only made public in November, but it has already taken the Internet by storm—within five days of its release it had a million users!As well as a multitude of possibilities, it raises a number of issues: How will teachers be able to detect if a student’s essay is their own work or that of ChatGPT? Can we trust its answers (it sometimes makes mistakes)? GPT-3 was trained on the global data of 2021, so cannot give up-to-date responses.

ChatGPT

Currently, it is very expensive to operate; will that limit its development? Will it be integrated into search engines? Could it be hacked? Will it reinforce our socio-political biases?Some of these issues may be resolved over time. Some may not. But here I want to explore some of the longer-term implications.The next obvious step is adding audio so that we can speak to it and get spoken responses. The technologies of speech recognition and synthesis are well developed, and in common use with virtual assistants such Siri and Alexa.

The Next Obvious Step 

But whereas they currently just search the Internet for answers, now, with AI behind them, they’ll be able to process the data, and give more intelligent responses.It will also bring an end to those, sometimes frustrating, human-operated call centers. No longer will we have to wait on hold, but will get immediate, intelligent answers—and in an accent we can understand.ChatGPT wasn’t programmed with the answers it gives, but taught to find its own answers and present them in human language. And it is learning all the time, from what we ask and how we respond.

More Intelligent Responses

Impressive as it may be today, it will be much more so in the future. In addition, other apps will soon become available improving on ChatGPT.As it becomes increasingly conversational, we may begin to feel there is a “person” there, not a human person of course, but our minds will project on to the AI the sense of there being someone there, and available to us at any time. Maybe we’ll feel we are each accessing the same virtual person. Where will that lead, I wonder? Other forms of AI can also be accessed online.

A "Person" There

There are several images generators that will create excellent pictures based on simple descriptions. A number of video generators—although not yet high quality—and music generators. All of which will rapidly improve with time.Beyond these foreseeable developments, online AI will bring many innovations that are probably as far beyond our imagination as the Internet of today was when the first personal computers appeared. And remember that the pace of development today is very much faster than it was forty years ago.

A Faster Pace

In ten years’ time, AI will be much more powerful, perhaps surpassing the human brain in its capabilities. We will then be in a very different world indeed.Welcome to the Intelligence Age!-------At this unprecedented moment in history, when escalating crises threaten all life on earth, internationally renowned physicist and futurist Peter Russell weaves together the physical and social sciences, modern technology, and ancient mysticism to demonstrate that the possibility of global illumination is now as real -- and as imminent -- as the threat of mass annihilation.

The Book - Peter Russell

In this updated edition of The Global Brain, Russell details an extraordinary new vision of humanity's potential as a fully conscious superorganism in an awakening universe. Presenting evidence that the earth itself is a living being and every person upon it a cell in the planetary nervous system, Russell describes how breakthroughs in telecommunications and computer networks are rapidly linking the human species into an embryonic global brain.

The Global Brain

At the same time, the human potential movement is growing faster than any other segment of society and influencing every aspect of the culture -- including business, politics, and medicine. Russell shows how the convergence of these powerful trends is creating the required conditions for an evolutionary shift in consciousness from egocentrism to geo-centrism.

Human Potential

First published in 1983 as The Global Brain and translated into ten languages, Russell's seminal work won acclaim all over the world. Regarded by many as years ahead of its time, its original predictions about the impact of computer networks and changing social values were quickly fulfilled.Peter Russell M.A., D.C.S., is a British author of ten books and producer of three films on consciousness, spiritual awakening and their role in the future development of humanity. He has designed and taught personal development programs for businesses, and has remained a popular public speaker.

Published in 1983 

In 1965 he was awarded an Open Exhibition to Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge, to study Mathematics. In 1969, he gained a First Class Honours in Theoretical Physics and Experimental Psychology. He then went to Rishikesh, India, where he trained as a teacher of Transcendental Meditation under Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. In 1971, he gained a post-graduate degree in Computer Science. From 1971 to 1974, he studied for a Ph.D. on the psychophysiology of meditation at Bristol University.

An Intelligent Global Brain

Definition: A twin flame is an intense soul connection with someone thought to be a person's other half, sometimes called a "mirror soul." It's based on the idea that sometimes one soul gets split into two bodies.One of the main characteristics of a twin flame relationship is that it will be both challenging and healing.But they also help you overcome them, and vice versa—your twin flame will be equally affected by you.

What is a Twin Flame? 

Importantly, each person is still "whole" on their own, says licensed psychotherapist <a href="https://openingthedoorspsychotherapy.com/">Babita Spinelli</a>. "There is a misnomer that a twin flame completes you," she explains. "In reality, relationships are meant to encourage you to be more complete in your own right."

Each Person Is Still Whole On Their Own

<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">When you first encounter your twin flame, there will be an intense <a href="https://www.mindbodygreen.com/articles/signs-of-attraction">sense of attraction</a>, recognition, and longing. </li><li class="ql-align-justify">Meeting a twin flame often feels like home. </li><li class="ql-align-justify">They feel familiar - an undeniably intense bond as though you have known them before.</li></ul>

1.  When Twin Flames met, there was instant recognition

<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">You and your twin flame may find that you have a lot in common as far as values, past experiences, and interests. </li><li class="ql-align-justify">Both of you may find that your past story has a lot of coincidences and similar experiences.</li></ul>

2.  You're very similar

<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">In those areas that you aren't similar, you'll find your differences complement each other, almost like yin and yang. </li><li class="ql-align-justify">Their shadow, for example, will be complemented by your light, and vice versa. </li><li class="ql-align-justify">And because a twin flame mirrors you, you're likely very aware of how your relationship highlights your shadows, and theirs.</li></ul>

3.  You complement each other

<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">"The purpose of your twin flame is to support and help you with your divine mission and purpose," notes spiritual author <a href="https://www.mindbodygreen.com/wc/shannon-kaiser">Shannon Kaiser</a>. </li><li class="ql-align-justify">"So, often this type of relationship will reflect your problems and deepest insecurities so you can work through them to heal and grow."</li></ul>

4.  Your insecurities and doubts are amplified

<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">From the moment you met and still to this day, you feel drawn to them physically when they're near you. </li><li class="ql-align-justify">When you're apart, you magnetically feel each other's presence too. </li><li class="ql-align-justify">It's as though their energy is always with you, always wanting to be closer.</li></ul>

5.  They feel magnetic

<ul><li class="ql-align-justify"><a href="https://www.mindbodygreen.com/articles/all-your-questions-about-twin-flame-relationships-answered">Twin flame relationships</a> aren't all smooth sailing, and actually, they're usually not. </li><li class="ql-align-justify">Being with a twin flame is like constantly being confronted by yourself, namely the parts of yourself you may not like. </li><li class="ql-align-justify">It can be incredibly challenging, but it's facilitating major growth for both of you.</li></ul>

6.  The relationship is tumultuous

<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">There's a definite emotional charge between twin flames, and they often develop quickly because you already feel so familiar. </li><li class="ql-align-justify">Because you are so connected at a soul level, you feel things deeper together, which often makes for more intensity and passion.</li></ul>

7.  The relationship is very intense

<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">"The chase" is most definitely a part of the twin flame relationship. At some point, one of you may walk away, out of fear, anger - you name it. But you'll often come back.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">If you're in an 'on and off'-again-type relationship, it could be with your twin flame. </li><li class="ql-align-justify">You'll find that things just keep bringing you together in random ways. Could be months, years, even decades; you just always find your way back to one another.</li></ul>

8.  You keep coming back together

<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">When you find your twin flame, there's a certain larger-than-life quality that likely feels divine or predestined.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">There is a feeling that you have been brought together by a higher power and that creates a very strong bond between the two of you. (These can also sometimes be <a href="https://www.mindbodygreen.com/articles/karmic-relationship-definition-and-signs">karmic relationships </a>)</li></ul>

9.  Your connection feels divine

<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">You and your twin flame can likely communicate with just a glance, and you always know what the other is thinking. </li><li class="ql-align-justify">You may even feel each other's emotions or symptoms.</li></ul>

10.  You have an almost psychic connection

<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">Because twin flames act as mirrors, they challenge us to do better, and oftentimes, your purposes are aligned in a way that pushes both of you to new heights. </li><li class="ql-align-justify">It's a very expansive relationship that promotes a lot of growth.</li></ul>

11.  They push you to be and do better

The <a href="https://www.mindbodygreen.com/articles/stages-of-a-relationship">stages of a relationship</a> are different when it's your twin flame. Twin flame stages may be unique depending on the people involved, but there are eight common ones listed below.

The 8 stages of a twin flame relationship:

<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">Before the two of you meet, you will have an awareness that <a href="https://www.mindbodygreen.com/articles/a-5-step-guide-to-manifesting-your-dreams">your other half is out there</a> for you. </li><li class="ql-align-justify">There is deep longing in this phase, and there will be inner work during this phase to prepare you for meeting your twin flame.</li></ul>

Stage 1: Yearning

<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">Once you meet, your world will be rocked. Prepare to fall fast. </li><li class="ql-align-justify">When you meet, it is insane instant attraction. You often can't keep your hands off one another and think about and want to spend a ton of time with each other constantly.</li></ul>

Stage 2: Meeting

<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">Yes, twin flames can have a <a href="https://www.mindbodygreen.com/articles/honeymoon-phase-and-how-to-make-it-last">honeymoon phase</a>, too! In this phase, your relationship is new, meaningful, and positive. </li><li class="ql-align-justify">How long it lasts depends on the couple, before challenges arise.</li></ul>

Stage 3: The honeymoon phase

<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">Sooner or later, core wounds emerge, and differences arise in the relationship. </li><li class="ql-align-justify">Often, these challenges are a reflection of the soul work the two of you need to do on your own. </li><li class="ql-align-justify">It's often not about improving the relationship but rather improving yourself.</li></ul>

Stage 4: Challenges emerge

<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">Your love will be put to a test, as you start to dive deep into your shadow sides. </li><li class="ql-align-justify">All your insecurities will rear up as you start to question yourself and each other.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">In this phase, one partner may avoid the other or even abandon the relationship, while the other feels emotionally insecure. </li><li class="ql-align-justify">This is where <a href="https://www.mindbodygreen.com/articles/attachment-issues">attachment issues</a>may arise.</li></ul>

Stage 5: The test

<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">The chase, also called <a href="https://www.mindbodygreen.com/articles/twin-flame-separation">twin flame separation</a>, is a big part of many twin flame relationships; someone will always walk away. </li><li class="ql-align-justify">Twin flame relationships have a ton of push-pull. Part of the chase is the reward for each person. But there will be a time when one partner will pull away, and this causes separation.</li></ul>

Stage 6: The chase

<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">The chase can go on for years, but should the two of you work through all your triggers, insecurities, and challenges, eventually you may come back together. </li><li class="ql-align-justify">This is the surrender into the relationship and big picture for you both. </li><li class="ql-align-justify">You accept and allow each other to be who they are, flaws and all. This is where you come back again.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">You accept and allow yourselves to be who you are too. </li></ul>

Stage 7: The surrender

<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">And finally, once you've fully surrendered and accepted your destiny, your life begins, and balance feels restored. </li><li class="ql-align-justify">Shared meaning is created, and there is more empathy and understanding in the relationship. </li><li class="ql-align-justify">In this stage, you support each other and continue to facilitate growth for the other.</li></ul>

Stage 8: Coming home

<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">Some people consider twin flames to be one of many <a href="https://www.mindbodygreen.com/0-22169/you-have-4-kinds-of-soul-mates-heres-how-to-recognize-each-one.html">types of soul mates</a>, with twin flames being the most intense because they are, in fact, one soul.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">The biggest distinction between a twin flame and any other type of soul mate is that twin flames are two halves of the same whole.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">A soul mate, on the other hand, there's a deep familiarity, and you feel very close, but you aren't the same soul.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Soul mates have contracted to be together, and they don't always mean romantic love. You can have soul mates that are friends, pets, and family members, etc.</li></ul>

How are twin flames different from soul mates?

<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">Although twin flames are typically viewed as romantic relationships, they can also be <a href="https://www.mindbodygreen.com/articles/platonic-soulmates">platonic soul mates</a>. </li><li class="ql-align-justify">The emphasis on a twin flame relationship is a spiritual connection where you feel a familiarity and polarity with a person. </li><li class="ql-align-justify">This can take the form of a friend or even an acquaintance. </li><li class="ql-align-justify">In most cases, though, romance seems to be more common.</li></ul>

Are twin flames always romantically involved?

<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">Going by the commonly accepted idea that twin flames are two halves of the same whole, yes, you can have only one. </li><li class="ql-align-justify">This is up for debate though, and it really depends on how you define twin flame.</li></ul>

Can you have only one twin flame?

<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">No. It is a rare connection, and not everybody has one. </li><li class="ql-align-justify">Ultimately, not everyone feels that pull toward the other part of their soul because it hasn't had this split.</li></ul>

Does everyone have a twin flame?

<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">Yes, this type of relationship can be toxic as your twin flame mirrors your own issues, unhealthy habits, imbalances. </li><li class="ql-align-justify">When twin flames are apart, they may have a hard time functioning. </li><li class="ql-align-justify">You may also end up defining your self-worth by the relationship. </li><li class="ql-align-justify">These aspects of the twin flame relationship can result in an unhealthy codependency. </li><li class="ql-align-justify">Often, twin flame relationships are romanticised and we tend to overlook some of the negative attributes.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Twin flames are notorious for being tumultuous if not handled with care. If we don't have self-love and awareness, they can become even more painful.</li></ul>

Can twin flames become toxic?

<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">Sometimes twin flames are meant together, but not always. </li><li class="ql-align-justify">Because twin flame relationships are very susceptible to codependency and other toxic relationship dynamics, sometimes it's in both people's best interests to simply walk away. </li><li class="ql-align-justify">Sometimes twin flames come into your life to teach you something, and then you're meant to go your separate ways.</li></ul>

Are twin flames meant to be together?

<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">Twin flame relationships are incredibly potent, powerful, and rare. But just because they're strong doesn't mean they're unbreakable - it's still important to work on a <a href="https://www.mindbodygreen.com/0-25433/15-essential-qualities-of-relationships-that-last.html">conscious partnership </a>and your own individual growth.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">When you do that, the two of you will be catalysts for love, growth, and harmony in each other's lives.</li></ul>

The bottom line.

Interesting idea / concept of a relationship. In the end, whatever type of relationship one is in, focus on self-compassion, self-love and growth is the most helpful. The concept of a 'mirror' is also a useful reminder for us to work on ourselves and take responsibilities in order to move forward (in life and in the relationship).

A twin flame is an intense soul connection with someone thought to be a person's other half, sometimes called a "mirror soul."
