A world lived by atoms was constructed using quantum mechanics. In condensed matter physics , crystal mediums are represented as lattice models in the presence of magnetic and electric fields (or both) . In this model, when the set of equations (Harper’s Equation) describes the motion of the individual (non-interacting) electron is solved under particular boundary conditions and if the graph of external magnetic field corresponding to the solutions (energy) is plotted, we see the butterfly fractal pattern (Hofstadter Butterfly) which is quite interesting.

We will look at how discovered the Hoftstadter Butterfly fractal pattern in quantum physics.

, we will examine the Hall Effect , which is the initial discovery of the main problem (the motion of the electron in a crystal medium) and the Hofstadter Butterfly , which is the solution of the same effect in the subatomic world.

A one of the most interesting phenomena (Hall voltage) in physics was first observed by Edwin Hall in 1879. Let’s imagine that we have a horizontal conductive plate(Hall element)and with the help of any power source we supply current to the plate in a particular direction. So we will have electrons carrying current along a straight line on the plate.Now,apply external magnetic field perpendicular to the plate.Since the magnetic field exerts a magnetic force(Lorentz force) on a charged particle,the moving electrons and the protons will move towards the edges of the plate in opposite directions.

1. HALL EFFECT

Potential difference is required for the existence of voltage in a particular direction. In our experiment, electrons and protons stacked on opposite sides to create a potential difference perpendicular to the current. This voltage is called the Hall voltage . Also, this phenomena is called the classical Hall effect.

The version of the Hall effect in the subatomic world is called the quantum Hall effect. We should expect to observe the classic Hall effect at low magnetic field, room temperature and at very high magnetic fields (about 10 Tesla) , very low temperatures (about 100 Kelvin) expect to observe the quantum Hall effect. The main difficult problem, which is the main theme of the article, is rather than explaining the classical Hall effect to be able to explain what happens to an electron that can move forward withoutscattering in the presence of a magnetic field.

2. QUANTUM HALL EFFECT

In quantum mechanics, classically forbidden phenomena are likely to occur. For any particle to pass over a potential barrier , it needs energy . If the energy of a particle is lower than the potential barrier , the particle is trapped there. In other words, it is not possible for the particle to pass over the barrier in the classical sense. But quantum mechanics says that even in such a case there is a possibility that the particle is outside the potential barrier . We’re talking about a kind of particle teleportation .

2.1. QUANTUM TUNELLING

The main reason why we don’t think of teleportation as a spontaneous natural event is that it never happens in daily life (by the laws of classical mechanics). Because the wavelength of the wave (or particle) much less than the width of the barrier . This also decreases the probability . That’s why you can never teleport to the other side of the wall, even if you wait your whole life with your hand on the wall.

In the quantum mechanics, every particle is also a wave . As we know from daily life, light waves (photon particles) scatter as they pass through raindrops and formed a rainbow. We assume that an electron does not undergo such scattering due to its movement in the crystal lattice medium. Our other most remarkable assumption is the tight-binding approach. According to this approach, electrons can only tunnelling into the nearest neighboring atomic orbitals. Thus, we make our work easier by ignoring interactions with distant neighbors.

What do we mean by scatter ?

Multidimensional lattice, a mathematical structure for molecules, was modeled in condensed matter physics (solid state physics) which is a sub-area of physics to solve the problem. In this model, we can imagine the lattice (can be of any geometry) with atoms in point form at each corner.

2.2. HARPER EQUATION

In the context of this model, the mathematical equation describing the motion of a single electron living on a two-dimensional square lattice is called the Harper equation . It was studied by Rudolf Peierls andR. G. Harper in the 1950s. There is something that makes the equation very special: the alpha values included in the equation. The striking results of the difference in the number sets (rational or irrational) to which alpha belongs… By definition, the alpha value is the ratio of the quantum flux (a definition in the literature) to the magnetic flux passing through each plate.

Since the ratio will still give the magnetic field unit, the alpha value is the external magnetic field itself. The results will differ depending on whether the value of the external magnetic field is rational or irrational . Here, the flux can be thought of as magnetic field lines pass through a unit surface and the magnetic flux is proportional to the magnetic field lines passing through the surface.

All that remains in solving the problem is to solve the finite set of Harper equations using numerical solution (computational) techniques. In other words determining the energy values in each of the equations in this finite set. It was solved byDougles R. Hofstadter in 1976.Now that we have the solutions, let’s look at their dependence on external magnetic field (alpha values) . Let’s consider alpha values a rational number. In other words, the magnetic field that we apply to the system should only be in rational values. In this case, if the energy solutions corresponding to each alpha values

2.3. SOLUTION OF THE PROBLEM

(energy as a function of alpha) are plotted, we will see the Hofstadter Butterfly , which similar to butterfly wings.Note that the graph is symmetrical with respect to the zero of the energy and alpha = 1/2 value. The symmetry presents us an image similar to the patterns on the wings of a butterfly in nature. Additionally, the larger the set of equations being studied, the butterfly pattern (solutions) will become sharper .As can be seen from the graphs above, the most important reason why Harper’s equation is to be worked only numerically is that it contains too many points (solutions)

and naturally too many equations.Let’s take a closer look to see one of the beautiful details of theHofstadter Butterfly . You can clearly see the band separations in the left graph above. It is the number in the denominator of the alpha value that determines how many times the bands will be split . If alpha = 1/3 , we see decompositions into three , and if alpha=9/11 , we see decomposition into eleven and so on... Band corners joins at alpha=1/2 and energy=0 solution, thus we saw single band .

Let’s take a closer look to see one of the beautiful details of 

In other words, let’s choose the external magnetic field we apply not rational , but only irrational . What can change, you might say. After all, there is only 0.5 difference between alpha=1/2 and alpha=1 . But that is not the case. The very interesting thing is that the butterfly only occurs for rational alpha values! If we plot the solutions of Harper’s equation corresponding to the irrational values of alpha ; we get nothing more than horizontal arrays of dots !

If we look at the graph below, we see visually sense pointless results for irrational alpha values . But, as we saw in the previous graph,Hofstadter Butterflies lives in the white regions (range of rational values) of the graph below.

...i

Just as different types of butterflies exist in nature, the Hofstadter Butterfly is not unique in physics. Naturally, fractal patterns will be different in systems that exhibit different behaviors under different types of features. Above, we only talked about two-dimensional square lattice model solutions. For example, if we analyzed hexagonal (honeycomb) or triangular lattice structures using similar numerical methods under a magnetic field, we would get different graphs. Just like bent, twisted and modified versions of the Hofstadter Butterfly.

2.4. ALTERNATIVE BUTTERFLIES

We will look at how discovered the Hofstadter Butterfly fractal pattern is discovered in the quantum physics.

3-2-1: Charity, the true mark of a pro, and how to choose what to read

The Roman-era Stoic philosopher Seneca once joked that the one thing fools all have in common is that they are always getting ready to live but never actually do.That was 20 centuries ago. For tens of thousands of years, people have been procrastinating just like you do today: They put things off, delayed, made excuses, and wished their deadlines would disappear. And just as it does with you, this caused them anxiety, made them piss off their colleagues and families, and, worst of all, wasted time.

Fortunately, unlike our ancient counterparts, we have ages of wisdom to help us avoid the mental traps that lead us to procrastinate.Here are seven anti-procrastination tactics that are rooted in ancient philosophy and can be applied in the modern world.<ol><li>Action by action</li><li>Create a routine</li><li>Use a counterforce</li><li>Get one small win every day</li><li>Free yourself from the inessential</li><li>Face your important tasks head-on</li><li>Creat a sense of urgency</li></ol>

7 Tactics Of The Ancient World That Have Stood The Test Of Time

Don’t let your imagination be crushed by life as a whole… Stick with the situation at hand, and ask, “Why is this so unbearable? Why can’t I endure it?” You’ll be embarrassed to answer.—Marcus Aurelius, Meditations , 8.36

Action By Action

With any goal, our imaginations often run wild envisioning all the things that can go wrong. While it <a href="https://ryanholiday.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=dcd3642d86121fbcaa9914228&id=645f7253d2&e=47e85155f0">can be productive </a>to think about the troubles that might lie ahead — the Stoics used an exercise called premeditatio malorum , or “premeditation of evils,” to prepare for potential adversity — imagining the worst usually just causes us to become paralyzed with fear. This is why <a href="https://ryanholiday.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=dcd3642d86121fbcaa9914228&id=ba27c1cfdc&e=47e85155f0">Marcus Aurelius’ </a>advice was to keep in mind that a life is built action by action. No author ever writes a book, he would say. Instead, they write one sentence and then another and then another.

In the sports world, University of Alabama coach <a href="https://ryanholiday.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=dcd3642d86121fbcaa9914228&id=e856728e5f&e=47e85155f0">Nick Saban </a> taught his players to ignore the big picture — important games, winning championships, the opponent’s enormous lead — and focus instead on doing the absolutely smallest things well. He would tell them, “Think about what you need to do in this drill, on this play, in this moment. That’s the process: Let’s think about what we can do today, the task at hand.”

In many circumstances, we do not deal with our affairs in accordance with correct assumptions, but rather we follow thoughtless habit.—Musonius Rufus, Lectures and Fragments , 6.7

Create A Routine

<a href="https://ryanholiday.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=dcd3642d86121fbcaa9914228&id=3e0e5428e4&e=47e85155f0">Epictetus </a>once said that “every habit and capability is confirmed and grows in its corresponding actions, walking by walking, and running by running… therefore, if you want to do something, make a habit of it.” If you don’t want to do something, he said, make a habit of doing the opposite. For this reason, the Stoics were big on <a href="https://ryanholiday.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=dcd3642d86121fbcaa9914228&id=0cc8982e90&e=47e85155f0">habits and routines </a>. They believed that in a world where so much is out of our control, committing to a routine we do control is a way of establishing and reminding ourselves of our own power.

Without a disciplined schedule, procrastination inevitably moves in with all the chaos, complacency, and confusion: What was I going to do? What do I wear? What should I eat? What should I do first? What should I do after that? What sort of work should I do? Should I scramble to address this problem or rush to put out this fire?

That’s torture. Seneca would call it a design problem. “Life without a design is erratic,” he wrote. “As soon as one is in place, principles become necessary. I think you’ll concede that nothing is more shameful than uncertain and wavering conduct, and beating a cowardly retreat. This will happen in all our affairs unless we remove the faults that seize and detain our spirits, preventing them from pushing forward and making an all-out effort.”

The writer Haruki Murakami talks about why he follows the same routine every day. “The repetition itself becomes the important thing,” he says. “It’s a form of mesmerism. I mesmerize myself to reach a deeper state of mind.” Procrastination feeds on our uncertainty. Routine eliminates that uncertainty. We know what we do and when we do it.

Since habit is such a powerful influence, and we’re used to pursuing our impulses to gain and avoid outside our own choice, we should set a contrary habit against that, and where appearances are really slippery, use the counterforce of our training. — Epictetus, Discourses , 3.12.16

Use A Counterforce

When a dog is barking loudly because someone is at the door, the worst thing you can do is yell. To the dog, it’s like you’re barking, too. When a dog is running away, it’s not helpful to chase it — again, now it’s like you’re both running. A better option in both scenarios is to give the dog something else to do. Tell it to sit. Run in the other direction. Break the pattern. Interrupt the negative impulse.

The same goes for humans. When a bad habit reveals itself, counteract it with a commitment to a contrary virtue. Sometimes, when you find yourself procrastinating, it’s best not to dig in and fight it. Instead, get up and take a walk to clear your head. Try what artist <a href="https://ryanholiday.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=dcd3642d86121fbcaa9914228&id=c02ad43abe&e=47e85155f0">Austin Kleon </a>calls productive procrastination: “A kind of promiscuous working in which I procrastinate on one project by working on another, sometimes switching between two or more projects until all the projects are done.”

Oppose established habits, use the counterforce of training to get traction and make progress, and channel the negative impulse into something, anything, positive.

Well-being is attained by little and little, and nevertheless is no little thing itself.—Zeno

Get One Small Win Every Day

Seneca wrote a lot of letters to Roman knight Lucilius. Through them, we get the sense that Lucilius struggled with many of the things we all struggle with: anxiety, distraction, fear, temptation, and self-discipline. It’s good that he had a friend like Seneca—someone who cared about him and told him the truth. One of Seneca’s best pieces of advice in those letters was actually pretty simple. “Each day,” he told Lucilius, you should “acquire something that will fortify you against poverty, against death, indeed against other misfortunes, as well.”

One gain per day. That’s it. This is the way to curbing our procrastinating tendencies: remembering that <a href="https://ryanholiday.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=dcd3642d86121fbcaa9914228&id=6248dee44d&e=47e85155f0">incremental, consistent, humble, persistent work </a>is the way to improvement. Your business, your book, your career, your body — you build them with little things, day after day.

Arnold Schwarzenegger is a filmmaker, entrepreneur, author, former governor, professional bodybuilder, and father of five. He’s also a fan of the Stoics. In <a href="https://ryanholiday.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=dcd3642d86121fbcaa9914228&id=e6c8537fe1&e=47e85155f0">a recent video </a>, he gave his best advice for staying strong during this pandemic: “Just as long as you do something every day, that is the important thing.” One thing a day adds up. One step at a time is all it takes. You just gotta get one small win. And the sooner you start, the better you’ll feel—and be.

It is essential for you to remember that the attention you give to any action should be in due proportion to its worth, for then you won’t tire and give up, if you aren’t busying yourself with lesser things beyond what should be allowed.—Marcus Aurelius

Free Yourself From The Inessential

Procrastination can often be a product of overwhelm. We have so much on our to-do list that we don’t even know where to begin, so we don’t begin. Seneca liked to use the word “discursive.” When we have our attention pointed in so many different directions, we have it pointed nowhere. He compared it to the nomad: “Everywhere means nowhere.” The way forward is to <a href="https://ryanholiday.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=dcd3642d86121fbcaa9914228&id=c4cef2512c&e=47e85155f0">zero in on what’s most important </a>.

It was Aurelius’ simple recipe for improvement and for happiness. And the fact that it came from such a busy man with so many obligations and responsibilities should not be forgotten. “If you seek tranquillity,” he said, “do less.” And then he follows the note to himself with some clarification: Not nothing—less. Do only what’s essential. “Which brings a double satisfaction,” he writes, “to do less, better.”

Follow this advice today and every day. So much of what we think we must do — and what we end up doing — is not essential. Rip off the chains of obligation to these things. Then you’ll be able to better do what is essential and get a taste of the tranquillity that Aurelius was talking about.

Yes, you can — if you do everything as if it were the last thing you were doing in your life, and stop being aimless, stop letting your emotions override what your mind tells you, stop being hypocritical, self-centered, irritable.—Marcus Aurelius

Face Your Important Tasks Head-on

All the crises, distractions, and temptations we face today have their analogs in the past. So we should listen to the command that Aurelius gave himself on one of those days when he was struggling to stay focused: “Concentrate every minute like a Roman — like a man — on doing what’s in front of you with precise and genuine seriousness, tenderly, willingly, with justice.”

From his stepfather Antoninus, Aurelius learned how to work long hours and “stay in the saddle.” He never shirked hard work or avoided his most unpleasant duties. He had a job to do and didn’t complain about it. “Never be overheard complaining,” he wrote, “not even to yourself.”

Putting off our responsibilities is easy. Complaining is easy. Both are as natural to us as breathing. But what good has either ever done for anyone in the long run? Sure, shaking your fist at the sky and venting your frustrations can feel liberating in the moment, but has it ever changed your circumstances for the better, solved your problems, or made you happier?

Has procrastinating ever made your life less stressful and more efficient? I’m willing to bet the answer is no. This is why we must follow Aurelius’ lead and focus on the important tasks in front of us. If we can win that battle first, the rest of the day will be a breeze.

Stop letting yourself be distracted. That is not allowed. Instead, as if you were dying right now… Stop allowing your mind to be a slave, to be jerked about by selfish impulses, to kick against fate and the present, and to mistrust the future.—Marcus Aurelius

Create A Sense Of Urgency

An adage of author and historian Cyril Northcote Parkinson was that “work expands so as to fill the time available for its completion.” Today, we know that principle as Parkinson’s law. So, if you have two weeks to write a paper for school, it will take two weeks. If you block off all day Sunday to clean your house, it will take all day. If you give something unlimited time, it will take forever. When we’re pressed by a deadline, we don’t procrastinate.

We can use Parkinson’s law to our advantage. The Stoics did. <a href="https://ryanholiday.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=dcd3642d86121fbcaa9914228&id=ca67770c23&e=47e85155f0">Memento mori </a>— the reflection on mortality — was their reminder. Remember that you are mortal. Remember that you are always pressed by a deadline. Remember what Aurelius said: “You could leave life right now. Let that determine what you do and say and think.” It wasn’t to create panic, but priority, humility, urgency, appreciation.

As wonderful as it would be if there were no such thing as death, we can use death as a tool: We can use it as a spur to move us forward. We can use it as a reminder of what’s truly important and use our time accordingly.

101 THINGS TO DO INSTEAD OF SCROLLING // ideas to have a fun, productive summer

Mr Beast has the biggest YouTube channel right now and he is singularly obsessed with it since the age of 11.Three things really struck me, he is so emerged in the YouTube life to the point that he doesn’t watch Family Guy, many movies, or know who Alan Turing was. He is singularly focused on the YouTube ecosystem.Secondly, he is constantly reflecting on micro-adjustments to make to make his videos more viral. He is a the master at that and his mentoring create life-changing wealth for other YouTubers.Doing something with such passion and this deeply is a gift that only few would receive.

Singular Obsession + Constant Reflection = Mr Beast

a) Disable notificationsEvery mobile app these days comes with a plethora of notifications. Most of which are garbage and are the ways to grab your attention.In both Android and iPhone, you can disable notifications for individual apps by going into the Settings.b) Delete Unused AppsChances are there would be apps like some photo editing app or a habit tracking app that you never use. Delete them. Free up phone’s memory.c) Move Photos AwayFree up your phone from photos and back them up to cloud storage. If you don’t have much cloud space, you transfer them to your computer.

1. Declutter Your Smartphone

a) Clear Up Your DesktopIf you are like most people, your desktop screen will be crowded with Word documents, Excel sheets, and photos of your children.Out of all those items occupying your home screen, move the useful ones to their respective folders and trash the remaining. Moreover, set a simple wallpaper for your home screen. b) Limit the Number of Startup AppsStartup Apps are the programs that load up automatically when you start your computer.Make sure to turn off the apps that have ‘High Impact’ because these are the ones that consume most of the processing power.

2-i. Declutter Your Computer

c) Organize A Folder SystemUse a folder system to organize your files. Movies go in the movies folder. Songs in songs folders. So on and so forth.Establish a folder hierarchy if a simple folder system doesn’t work for you.d) Backup PhotosJust like your smartphone, backup your photos to a cloud service. You can also transfer them to an external hard drive.

2-ii. Declutter Your Computer-2

a) Take A Break From Social MediaPractice a social media detox. It may sound impossible but it is worth giving a try.Take a month off or at least, and notice the changes in your life. Write your thoughts and feelings in a diaryb) Delete Social Media Apps from PhoneFirst and foremost, kill the biggest culprit. Social Media Apps. Use social media in a mobile browser or on a computer only.c) Fewer Social Media AccountsYou don’t need a have presence on every Zuckerberg platform. Ideally, you should have only one social media account. Maybe two.

3. Declutter Your Social Media

a) Unsubscribe from NewslettersYou surely don’t have time to read all 30 motivational newsletters you have subscribed to overtime.Stick with two or three quality newsletters.b) Clear Your InboxTake a tour of your inbox and Archive any emails that can be important in the future but are not urgent. Delete any spam or marketing emails but be sure to unsubscribe from them before deleting.c) Use Email LessYou don’t need to constantly check and immediately respond to every new message.Follow this golden rule: “The fewer emails you sent, the fewer emails you receive.”

4. Declutter Email

Just like your regular life, your digital life also needs a declutter-drive now and then. As we use the internet and digital devices for more and more services, our life may get easier but our digital life gets messier and messier. Many people have no idea how many emails they are subscribed to or how many online accounts they have. To get hold of your digital life, follow these steps:

Marking important dates and deadlines into a personal calendar or study plan will allow you to remain organised and set realistic revision and academic goals for the study period ahead. A detailed study plan will also allow you to figure out what resources and help you'll need along the way, in addition to helping you juggle busy study periods around other work and life commitments.

1. Get organised.

Before you begin studying, ensure you take the time to clean and organise your study space, (including the not so obvious areas like your computer's desktop). When picking your perfect study space, it's recommend you choose an area that receives a lot of natural light and is free from distractions.Don't be afraid to spice up your study space with things like posters, photos or even an indoor plant. After all, if your study space is nice, you'll be motivated to spend more time there.

2. Organise your study space.

If it's been a while since you were at school or university, your study skills may be a bit rusty. The best way to combat this is taking pressure off yourself, and starting it slow and easy. So, start with the basics and slowly master your subjects.

3. Start with the basics

If you're struggling to get back into the swing of studying - ask for help! Ask your seniors and teachers, they can help you get back faster.Taking advantage of the services you have available will not only help you to manage feelings of stress, it'll also assist you in staying committed to your studies.

4. Ask for hel

While setting hard goals can motivate you to achieve, it's important to keep your goals realistic and achievable. Putting needless pressure on yourself, especially when you've had a break from studying, can be detrimental to your progress. Instead, be patient and give yourself time to get back into the swing of studying. Rather than judging yourself on your results, which may be disappoint you in the beginning, judge yourself on the amount of effort you're putting in. The results will follow.

5. Set realistic expectations

Top 5 tips for getting back into the swing of study

It’s not all about your physical talent. It’s not all about the work you’re willing to put in. Although let’s face it, that matters too. A very important part about success is how you think about yourself.

In any big moment in your life, Super Bowl, a big interview or a presentation, you will always default back to the most dominant habit you’ve cultivated over the years. That is why it is important to get to a state of mind where the best possibilities are at the forefront of your consciousness.You can’t just turn this state of mind on and off with a switch.You have to cultivate it: You have to exercise the confidence muscle to build up a mental bank account of experiences that create energy and enthusiasm.

Cultivate the right state of mind

<ul><li>Screen your memories for things that are uplifting and build a diary of small successes. What are the highlights of your career? Allow these memories that produce energy, optimism and enthusiasm, to be more upfront in the consciousness.</li><li>Work on your thought processes about yourself. What are the constructive stories you tell about yourself? Look for ways to think about how you want to be as if you are there already.</li><li>Think about your future in the right way. Ensure that those thoughts are what you want to happen. If it is about what can go wrong, include how to get back in the game.</li></ul>

Exercises to improve how you think about yourself

You become the best version of yourself when you get yourself to a state of mind that allows your talent and training to express itself freely.We have to learn to be certain about ourselves and believe that we are enough at this moment without second-guessing ourselves."This Is my moment.""I am the guy for this job.""This is my opportunity to pull away from the crowd."It’s telling yourself that you are in this moment as good as you need to be in order to win the moment.

How to be the best version of yourself

You want to make sure your thoughts and attitude influence your performance, but you never let your performance influence your thoughts or your attitude.

<ul><li>Don’t think of yourself as just a plain regular guy. You are unique; you have talents; you have something special about yourself. Find it.</li><li>Don’t compare yourself with someone on a tv screen. Instead, start looking for the best in yourself. What excites you? What are you good at in your own career?</li></ul>Success is the peace of mind that comes from the satisfaction that you did the best with what you had. Whatever that is.

How to get a confident mind

<ul><li>E - Effort: Look back at your day. Ask yourself where did you give quality effort today? Where did you overcome procrastination? Where did you show effort?</li><li>S - Success: What did you do right today?</li><li>P - Progress: What do you get better at? Where do you show progress?</li></ul>Then ask yourself: What do I want to get at tomorrow? What do I want to attack tomorrow? What’s next?

Building confidence with ESP

You won’t have that sense of certainty about yourself unless you’ve done the work to build it up over the course of your training. If you have been diligent in your study or training, that is what makes you confident.It is important to put yourself in a training crucible so you get practice responding to fatigue, responding to a mistake, responding to a setback constructively. You can’t let a negative moment dominate you. Your training should include stepping up knowing how to get it right.

The key to getting past natural uncertainty


<ul><li>Take baby steps in the new area.</li><li>While you are working on your skills, reflect on the quality of your efforts.</li><li>Acknowledge small successes as you build those skills.</li></ul>

How To Create A Confident Mind And Boost Your Performance In Any Area Of Life – Dr. Nate Zinsser (Ep. 359)

The secrets of mental toughness and self-belief. Mastering confidence - which is key to performance in any field.

Being Zen is all about learning to live with ambiguity and paradoxes. Life is too complex to be understood using reason. The truth lies beyond words. But ...What if we didn’t need an explanation for everything?Zen Kōans, riddles that makes no sense, serve to help achieve a central tenet of Buddhism: letting go of binary thinking. Instead of focusing on right and wrong or black and white, kōans helped monks avoid clinging to answers or outcomes—because they lack them.

Zen & Paradoxes 

Desire creates pain in our lives. But living a life void of desire is equally, if not more, painful.

The Pain Paradox

The more intensely you desire something, the harder it seems to attain.If you don’t desire something with enough intensity, you never do what's required to attain it.

The Intensity Paradox

We desire comfort, security, and safety.But nothing we desire can be obtained without risk.

The Risk Paradox

We are driven by a desire for "more."When we get it, it's not enough.

The More Paradox

What we want changes over time.But our deepest desires - to be loved, to be validated - never change.

The Time Paradox

Life does not makes sense. Why do you even try?
