Thinking productively
Good thinkers are in high demand. A person who understands how may always have a job, but the person who understands why is always his boss. Good thinkers solve problems, they never run out of ideas for how to build a company, and they always have hope for a better future. Good thinkers are rarely at the mercy of ruthless people who would exploit or deceive them, such as Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler, who once boasted, "What luck for rulers that men do not think."

Realistic thinking
The concept of realistic thought As anyone knows who’s been out of school for a few years, there’s usually a huge gap between a college education and the reality of the working world. Honestly, early in my career, I went out of my way to avoid too much realistic thinking because I thought it would interfere with my creative thinking. But as I’ve grown, I’ve come to realize that realistic thinking adds to my life.

Find a quiet place to think.
1. Find a Place to Think Your Thoughts If you go to your designated place to think expecting to generate good thoughts, then eventually you will come up with some. Where is the best place to think? Everybody’s different. Some people think best in the shower. Others, like my friend, like to go to a park. For me, the best places to think are in my car, on planes, and in the spa. Ideas come to me in other places as well, such as when I’m in bed. (I keep a special lighted writing pad on my nightstand for such times.) I believe I often get thoughts because I make it a habit to frequently go to my thinking places. If you want to consistently generate ideas, you need to do the same thing. Find a place where you can think, and plan to capture your thoughts on paper so that you don’t lose them. When I found a place to think my thoughts, my thoughts found a place in me.

Food preservation
Food preservation has been a necessity for as long as people have existed. It hasn't always been as foolproof as the alternatives accessible now. To be sure, the path to establishing safe, reliable techniques of food preservation is paved with illness, squandered food, and even death. Thankfully, we get to reap the benefits of previous knowledge. We can avoid making the same mistakes if we use this information appropriately. Most of the world's resources cannot be harvested all year. Even if your preferred prey is accessible, hunting all year is not recommended. So, what do we eat during the "off-season"? We must prepare for these times, which are unavoidably approaching.Going over the hill to see if the berry bushes were ripe is part of the food planning process. People created food preservation techniques over time. It was discovered that dehydration reduced the moisture content of meats, fruits, herbs, and vegetables. This wetness contributed to the rot of these meals. The simplest method of food preservation was thinly sliced and hung or set out in the sun to dry. Then came the brining, salting, and smoking. All of these approaches were low-cost and straightforward enough that any household could take care of its own needs. Bacteria and enzymes, as well as their effects on food, were identified as science progressed, and preventative methods were learned. Food might be preserved for long periods if it was heated to a specified temperature and then sealed in air and moisture resistant containers, removing any air in the container during the process. This convenience, known as "canning," was invented.

The Big Change
It is hard to fight an enemy who has outposts in your head. —Sally Kempton There is no real way to achieve the kind of relaxed control I’m promising if you keep things only in your head. As you’ll discover, the individual behaviors described in this book are things you’re already doing. The big difference between what I do and what others do is that I capture and organize 100 percent of my “stuff” in and with objective tools at hand, not in my mind. And that applies to everything—little or big, personal or professional, urgent or not. There is usually an inverse proportion between how much something is on your mind and how much it’s getting done. I’m sure that at some time or other you’ve gotten to a place in a project, or in your life, where you just had to sit down and make a list. If so, you have a reference point for what I’m talking about. Most people, however, do that kind of list-making drill only when the confusion gets too unbearable and they just have to do something about it. They usually make a list only about the specific area that’s bugging them. But if you made that kind of a review a characteristic of your ongoing life-and work style, and you maintained it across all areas of your life (not just the most “urgent”), you’d be practicing the kind of “black belt” management style I’m describing. There is no reason ever to have the same thought twice unless you like having that thought. I try to make intuitive choices based on my options, instead of trying to think about what those options are. I need to have thought about all of that already and captured the results in a trusted way. I don’t want to waste time thinking about things more than once. That’s an inefficient use of creative energy and a source of frustration and stress. And you can’t fudge this thinking. Your mind will keep working on anything that’s still in that undecided state. But there’s a limit to how much unresolved “stuff” it can contain before it blows a fuse. The short-term-memory part of your mind; the part that tends to hold all of the incomplete, undecided, and unorganized “stuff”; functions much like RAM on a personal computer. Your conscious mind, like the computer screen, is a focusing tool, not a storage place. You can think about only two or three things at once. But the incomplete items are still being stored in the short-term memory space. And as with RAM, there’s limited capacity; there’s only so much “stuff” you can store in there and still have that part of your brain function at a high level. Most people walk around with their RAM bursting at the seams. They’re constantly distracted, their focus disturbed by their internal mental overload. For example, in the last few minutes, has your mind wandered off into some area that doesn’t have anything to do with what you’re reading here? Probably. And most likely where your mind went was to some open loop, some incomplete situation that you have some investment in. All that situation did was rear up out of the RAM part of your brain and yell at you, internally. And what did you do about it? Unless you wrote it down and put it in a trusted “bucket” that you know you’ll review appropriately sometime soon, more than likely you worried about it. Not the most effective behavior: no progress was made, and tension was increased. The big problem is that your mind keeps reminding you of things when you can’t do anything about them. It has no sense of past or future. That means that as soon as you tell yourself that you need to do something, and store it in your RAM, there’s a part of you that thinks you should be doing that something all the time. Everything you’ve told yourself you ought to do, it thinks you should be doing right now. Frankly, as soon as you have two things to do stored in your RAM, you’ve generated personal failure, because you can’t do them both at the same time. This produces an all-pervasive stress factor whose source can’t be pinpointed. The goal is to get projects and situations off your mind, but not to lose any potentially useful ideas. This kind of thinking doesn’t have to be elaborate. Most of the thinking you’ll need to do is informal, what I call back-of-the-envelope planning—the kind of thing you do literally on the back of an envelope in a coffee shop with a colleague as you’re hashing out the agenda and structure of a sales presentation. Most people have been in some version of this mental stress state so consistently, for so long, that they don’t even know they’re in it. Like gravity, it’s ever-present—so much so that those who experience it usually aren’t even aware of the pressure. The only time most of them will realize how much tension they’ve been under is when they get rid of it and notice how different they feel. Can you get rid of that kind of stress?

Basic principles of cryptocurrency and the batman of our times
Let’s take a roundabout approach to this topic, starting from the banking sector. The entire banking system of our days, regardless of the country, is arranged in such a way that we do not own our money. Central banks in any state hold an emission monopoly, which is provided through legislation, creating a sure stumbling block to l cryptocurrency legalization. Fiat money is a term used by the cryptocurrency community to designate a currency without intrinsic value as money by government regulation or law (dollar, euro, etc.).

Never give up! See how an unlucky man becomes successful
In this article, I will explain why some people are successful despite their failures and bad luck. Here's his story: This man was born into a poor household and had to constantly keep an eye on his brothers and sisters. As a result, they are unable to pursue a proper education. He was short, fat, and lacked any remarkable talent for any significant skill. He was bullied by his peers because he was overweight, short, and didn't have any friends.

Emotional Abuse
What Is Emotional Abuse? When most people think of emotional abuse, they usually think of one or both partners belittling or criticizing the other. But emotional abuse is much more than verbal abuse. Emotional abuse can be defined as any nonphysical behavior that is designed to control,intimidate, subjugate, demean, punish, or isolate another person through the use of degradation, humiliation, or fear. Emotionally abusive behavior ranges from verbal abuse (belittling, berating, constant criticism) to more subtle tactics like intimidation, manipulation, and refusal to be pleased. Here are some examples of emotional abuse in intimate relationships: • Humiliation and degradation • Discounting and negating • Domination and control • Judging and criticizing • Accusing and blaming • Trivial and unreasonable demands or expectations • Emotional distancing and the “silent treatment” • Isolation Emotional abuse can also include more subtle forms of behavior such as: • Withholding of attention or affection • Disapproving, dismissive, contemptuous, or condescending looks, comments, and behavior • Sulking and pouting • Projection and/or accusations • Subtle threats of abandonment (either physical or emotional). Emotional abuse is not only made up of negative behaviors but negative attitudes as well. Therefore, we need to include the word attitude in our definition of emotional abuse. A person who is emotionally abusive need not take any overt action whatsoever. All he or she needs to do is to exhibit an abusive attitude. Here are some examples: Believing that others should do as you say Not noticing how others feel Not caring how others feel Believing that everyone else is inferior to you Believing that you are always right So emotional abuse is any non physical behavior or attitude that is designed to control, intimidate, subjugate, demean, punish, or isolate another person. But there are also some types of physical behavior that can be considered emotional abuse. These behaviors have a name: symbolic violence. This includes intimidating behavior such as slamming doors, kicking a wall, throwing dishes, furniture, or other objects, driving recklessly while the victim is in the car, and destroying or threatening to destroy objects the victim values. Even milder forms of violence such as shaking a fist or finger at the victim, making threatening gestures or faces, or acting like he or she wants to kill the victim carry symbolic threats of violence.
