Different Perspectives on Artificial Intelligence Some good, Some bad, some worse Many psychologists like to separate people into two categories depending on their orientations toward life, with ones being more oriented to separated parts of a process and classification, what we might like to define as "Thing oriented people" and others with more regard to the way that those things interact between themselves and how processes develop, processes such as human communication,…
Reinforce positive behaviour Make them know when they're doing good Have you ever lashed out at someone for not doing something as good enough as they should have?. Well, you surely might have encountered a lot of problems with that, from having to hear them rant about the conditions in which they were performing, shifting the blame to others to even getting a resentful yes that only guaranteed that the conduct will repeat Itself again.

The benefits of living without social media Sacrifice for a life back We spend a lot of time looking at our phones scrolling through social media, and we like to think that we're doing It consciously, though most of the time It isn't. These little rectangles with crystal screens had become more than a tool, to the point where It seems like they're using us more than we're using them. What's the first thing you do when there's an awkward silence in a conversation and you…
When you feel bad, look back at what you've achieved Remember who you are Sometimes we feel down after a particular set of inconvenients or failures that really humbled us. It might be being rejected, not living up to a particular standard or just not accomplishing your set of goals. We all have times like this, though surely most of us get up and continue with life.

The benefits of breakfast The first thing you should do in the morning With a lot of diets that are present nowadays, a great amount of people tend to overlook and underestimate what a good breakfast can do for your life just pairing It with a waste of time to other pursuits. Alimentary habits are unique to each person and what works for one might not do It for another, as you can see in examples of people that like to work out fasted in the morning. However, for most…
If It doesn't feel good, then why you do It? Pointlessness. Have you ever had a day where all you did was activities considered as "fun" like playing videogames, watching movies or scrolling through social media and all that you felt at the end of It was a sense of emptiness and that you just wasted your weekend? Well, you're not alone as I can count myself as someone that was a participant of It in the past. Well, you might ask yourself: Why I don't feel entertained anymore…

Deep Work Sessions Using time to work efficiently We all have moments where we seem to get into a rut of unproductivity, neglecting the time we should be spending in our work and becoming better and using the little amount of hours we have in a distracted state where we don't actually achieve something meaningful. The key word in this statement is distracted, as we let every factor at our disposal to become something that potentially shifts our attention towards something…
Be optimistic about life Optimism is not being naive A lot of people get those two terms mixed all of the time, thinking that If you see the good in every situation you're incredibly blind to what other things are happening in the world, acting more like a fool than like a rational person. However, those individuals are no far better than someone who chooses to see life like that, as they'll carry the extra burden of being pessimistic and cynical about every inconvenient…
Differentiating Depression from a Bad Moment What being depressed really means I know this can be a controversial topic as people usually tend to refer to people who feel lonely, sad and worthless as depressed, thinking of It more as a temporal thing than what It really is, a clinical disease whose effects can last for an entire life. Part of the problem might have to be with the fact that today people use the term so broadly, confusing major depressive disorders with things…
The beauty of discipline Grinding till the End I know this is a topic that has been repeated too many times, though It doesn't take away from the fact that It is the only way in which any person can get better. Discipline is the prerequisite to greatness in any field and It can easily surpass any other factor involved in It like genetics, talent or affiliation. We have heard a lot of stories about people inheriting fortunes from their parents and building up empires from…
Hi there. I'm considering the Idea of writing my posts in both spanish and english, the first being my mother tongue, in this way getting to more people. Let me know If you would want me to proceed with this.
A couple hours can make the difference The difference between productivity and laziness can lay in only two hours A great amount of people nowadays find themselves working constantly in 9 to 5 jobs tha don't really add up much to their level of satisfaction and self appreciation, getting in extreme cases to make them suffer greatly with the thought of just waking up and going to the office. However, there are also other people that don't work nearly as much (Maybe from 2 to…
Appreciate the Bad Days Discomfort causes growth Live everyone I've had my fair share of bad days and good days, and looking in retrospective, I can appreciate the first more and more, though It wasn't always like this. Upon them happening I thought they were the worst thing that could have happened to me, only seeing the negative and how they were limiting me, though what I didn't realize was that even in the worst I got something good in return, lessons to learn in life.…
Time today is not the same as time tomorrow Enjoy life while you can do It If you ask most people about their desires and goals for the future in life, most of the time It will involve freedom and wealth to a basic degree, and this is great, though what's really troublesome is people's perception of how they'r gonna get there. See, for a great amount of people this can be explained through two mentalities: One, that dictates that you should break your back doing things you…
People's advice will only get you as far as they have Always look for counseling from the highest sources Have you ever encountered yourself with people that don't have any stable job, a meaningful relationship or even a vision for the future and regardless of It they take to give unwanted advice to everyone about what they should do with their lives? If you're a rational person you would take that kind of advice with a grain of salt. With this I'm not saying that you should…
At the end of the day, you will be Dead. Be a participant of life, not an spectator Most people (At least the ones that make up for the biggest part of the working population) are constantly following the same path of life and pushing into others the same advice: That you have to graduate at the top of your class so you can land in a good university and have a good job as a doctor, lawyer or engineer, then work from 9 t0 5 and save every penny in minucious things that don't…
Are you process oriented or event oriented? Recognize the struggle behind the headlines Many people think that the only way to do big things in life is through big moments that change the direction of your life and head you towards greatness, and this is really far from the truth. If you take only one part of the equation hoping to get a good result, then you won't get anywhere as there's one thing you should recognize: That behind any victory is an arduous process of trial…
Perceived Value Things are only worth what people perceives them to be What is the first definition that comes to your mind when you buy something? It probably will be someone exchanging money for something of value, and this is true, though only to an extent. We'll focus on the value part and we'll expand on that. What is exactly value? It is the objective real value of something or is It just what everybody agrees on with regards to what Is acceptable to pay for It? Well,…
How to ruin your fun. It's not efficient If you don't enjoy It In the last weeks I've seen something that strikes me as alarming. Since the world cup began every time that I sit down for a moment to watch the matches with friends I notice that most of the time they are not paying attention to the match though to another thing, one that has become so common to us even If in principle It seems counterintuitive: their phones. Their faces are going up and down while passsing…
What Compound Interest doesn't tell you You can't get rich If you're dead first One of the main proverbs we are taught when we first take a look at most finance books is that of the Compound Interest, that in which little amounts over a determined period of time can make a huge return in the long run, and while this is true and It is easily applicable in many areas within not so complicated fields or If you have a respectable income (In the range of millions), for managing…
What Junk Food does to your body The worst kind of poison is the one that tastes good The most common ailments in developed countries are the ones related to a bad nutrition, those like obesity, diabetes and many others that even If they can be related to factors outside our control, in most cases all those curses befell upon us through our own neglect. What kind of neglect? The one that our bodies experience constantly when we make poor choices with regards to what we…
Effort and Suffering can be the same thing. It depends on how you look at It A lot of people upon hearing the word suffering they immediately associate negative connotations with It, thinking that If a person is in a state of perpetual pain whether physical, mental or just struggling financially he/she's suffering, though It doesn't encompass the full picture of what suffering can be and how It can really be positive. On the opposite, look at the word effort, something…
How to increase your luck Treat It more as probabilities A belief that constantly kills people's confidence is that of having bad luck, making them think that all bad things happen to them because God, the Universe or Divine Providence hate them. By constantly thinking this, the person with a bad luck mindset will see everything as negative to his/her experience, thus being more reactive to the bad events instead of looking at the good things in life and at the same time…
Doing what you love can kill your love Love the value, not the activity I'm sure almost everyone feels passionate about something, It being making music, cooking or making content like blogs or videos in the Internet. You sure have the best time of the day performing that particular task in comparison with everything else and this is a great thing. Then one day you decide that you're going to dedicate your whole life to It, leaving your job and putting all your effort into…
The problem of universities in the modern world Think about It... Millions of people are constantly in the education system in the pursuit of a degree, whether It is at engineering, humanities, finances and business or many other careers. However, there's something that college and universities don't tell you, and that is that they actually take 4+ years to teach you things you might have already known or that you could have learned in half the time and better via youtube…

What wealth is? A simple formula Wealth can de described in general terms as the posession of plentiful supplies of a particular resource. However, there still isn't a whole consensus as to what wealth should mean over the course of an individual's life and how that abundance affects his/her levels of well-being. For example, for someone wealth could be having a lot of properties and expensive goods, while for other is as simple as not having to work again for another day of…
Altering your reality Everything but to Look It at the eyes. We all know that since the beginning of time the world has had Its fair share of beauty and horror, showing to us Its more sublime creations and the worst atrocities that can happen, either from nature or from our own hand.
