Most people see their mindset as being synonymous with their identity.
Eg. I *feel* down therefore "I must be depressed".
This way of thinking f*cks up your self-confidence and stops you from growing.
You are the corporation and your mind is a part of that corporation.
Just like any department, it's a resource you can train, manage and improve.
You can't perform at your peak if you don't sleep well.
Poor sleep often goes hand-in-hand with a weak mindset.
Mindset training teaches you how to manage your stress, worries and anxieties which allows you to hit the hay with a clear mind.
We live in a time where choosing what to learn is just as important as how we learn.
Training your mind makes you an active learner.
You'll learn only what's useful, learn faster, retain better, have better ideas and turn those ideas into execution.
Mindset training expands your focus and concentration levels.
While everyone else gets distracted with the wide range of dopamine heavy content coming from their phones
you can tap into your powers of concentration and go DEEP on a topic and become an expert.
Most of your fears are irrational.
Mindset training helps you confront your fears and 10x your confidence.
You'll learn to dance with pain rather than hide from it.
You'll grow while others plateau or go backwards.
Do you suffer from procrastination, perfectionism and self-doubt?
Or can you sit down and pump out 3,4 or even 8 hours of quality work in a day?
A huge side effect of a strong mind is being ultra productive.
You'll start to hate time wasting.
Most people make emotionally charged and therefore poor decisions.
When your mindset is strong
you'll make clear decisions that weighs both the pros and cons while giving you the flexibility to iterate if necessary.
Research shows we have 10s of THOUSANDS of thoughts each day.
For most people, a majority of these thoughts are self-critical.
With mindset training most of your thoughts will either be positive and supportive.
It's like having..
When you do well, you'll get more encouragement.
When you do bad, you'll get useful feedback and find practical ways to improve.

THREAD: 12 Things Everyone Should Know About IQ
1. IQ is one of the most heritable psychological traits – that is, individual differences in IQ are strongly associated with individual differences in genes (at least in fairly typical modern environments). https://t.co/3XxzW9bxLE
2. The heritability of IQ *increases* from childhood to adulthood. Meanwhile, the effect of the shared environment largely fades away. In other words, when it comes to IQ, nature becomes more important as we get older, nurture less. https://t.co/UqtS1lpw3n
3. IQ scores have been increasing for the last century or so, a phenomenon known as the Flynn effect. https://t.co/sCZvCst3hw (N ≈ 4 million)
(Note that the Flynn effect shows that IQ isn't 100% genetic; it doesn't show that it's 100% environmental.)
4. IQ predicts many important real world outcomes.
For example, though far from perfect, IQ is the single-best predictor of job performance we have – much better than Emotional Intelligence, the Big Five, Grit, etc. https://t.co/rKUgKDAAVx https://t.co/DWbVI8QSU3
5. Higher IQ is associated with a lower risk of death from most causes, including cardiovascular disease, respiratory disease, most forms of cancer, homicide, suicide, and accident. https://t.co/PJjGNyeQRA (N = 728,160)

Yesterday, a family of asylum seekers were reunited. Hanz & his son were subjected to #MPP, a cruel policy that forced them into dangerous cities in northern Mexico. We sued on their behalf, allowing them to rejoin their family in Massachusetts. pic.twitter.com/Kce6MTpS9C

MDZS is laden with buddhist references. As a South Asian person, and history buff, it is so interesting to see how Buddhism, which originated from India, migrated, flourished & changed in the context of China. Here's some research (🙏🏼 @starkjeon for CN insight + citations)
1. LWJ’s sword Bichen ‘is likely an abbreviation for the term 躲避红尘 (duǒ bì hóng chén), which can be translated as such: 躲避: shunning or hiding away from 红尘 (worldly affairs; which is a buddhist teaching.) (https://t.co/zF65W3roJe) (abbrev. TWX)
2. Sandu (三 毒), Jiang Cheng’s sword, refers to the three poisons (triviṣa) in Buddhism; desire (kāma-taṇhā), delusion (bhava-taṇhā) and hatred (vibhava-taṇhā).
These 3 poisons represent the roots of craving (tanha) and are the cause of Dukkha (suffering, pain) and thus result in rebirth.
Interesting that MXTX used this name for one of the characters who suffers, arguably, the worst of these three emotions.
3. The Qian kun purse “乾坤袋 (qián kūn dài) – can be called “Heaven and Earth” Pouch. In Buddhism, Maitreya (मैत्रेय) owns this to store items. It was believed that there was a mythical space inside the bag that could absorb the world.” (TWX)

Once upon a time there was a Raja named Uttānapāda born of Svayambhuva Manu,1st man on earth.He had 2 beautiful wives - Suniti & Suruchi & two sons were born of them Dhruva & Uttama respectively.
#talesofkrishna https://t.co/E85MTPkF9W
Now Suniti was the daughter of a tribal chief while Suruchi was the daughter of a rich king. Hence Suruchi was always favored the most by Raja while Suniti was ignored. But while Suniti was gentle & kind hearted by nature Suruchi was venomous inside.
#KrishnaLeela
The story is of a time when ideally the eldest son of the king becomes the heir to the throne. Hence the sinhasan of the Raja belonged to Dhruva.This is why Suruchi who was the 2nd wife nourished poison in her heart for Dhruva as she knew her son will never get the throne.
One day when Dhruva was just 5 years old he went on to sit on his father's lap. Suruchi, the jealous queen, got enraged and shoved him away from Raja as she never wanted Raja to shower Dhruva with his fatherly affection.
Dhruva protested questioning his step mother "why can't i sit on my own father's lap?" A furious Suruchi berated him saying "only God can allow him that privilege. Go ask him"
