10 timeless ideas to instantly strengthen you...

 Read this once for a pick-me-up.

Re-read it daily to realise your fullest potential.
⚡️ Nothing can hurt you when you know you have nothing to protect.

Self-esteem is an illusion.

You can’t damage what is made up.

You are unfathomably bigger than the idea you hold of yourself in your mind.
⚡️ You were already a success the day you were born.

Life is a miracle, and getting here means you already won.

Allow the time you’re alive in the world to play, to create and to thrive from a position of realised strength.
⚡️ Any criticism you receive may seem like an attack, but the perpetrator is always attacking themselves.

It is always a projection rooted in personal insecurity.

It is never about you.

They are resisting their thoughts about you, not you.
⚡️ The ‘stress’ you feel is you responding to your thoughts and feeling your thoughts physically.

The idea that something external caused your stress is a mirage.

You have it within you right now to let go of the seriousness of your thoughts and to empower yourself.
⚡️ Very little can faze you when - after every perceived setback - you ask yourself this:

‘How can I use this?

How does this strengthen me?

What have I learned from this?

How can this drive me forward with double the ferocity?’
⚡️ Happiness is not something you wait for.

It is a choice.

You might not see it now, but if you are open to this, you will see it and your spirits will rise.
⚡️ The secret no one dares share is that you are creating everything.

You are the root of this entire experience.

You are composed of the same creative force driving the continual expansion of the Universe.
Your mind is a projector, not a receiver.

You are connected to it all and you create it all.

Act like it.
⚡️ You have everything you need right now.

You will not get it from any job, person, experience, purchase, or ‘success’.

You have it. All else is a bonus.

Have fun knowing you already have what you’re looking for.
⚡️ The idea that life should be a struggle is societal programming.

You can experience joy, peace and energy right now, every day, for the rest of your life.
This comes with a willingness to use pain creatively and continually let go of the idea that what’s happening is not to your liking.
⚡️ You lower yourself when you embody the figure of a poor victim.

You’re not at the mercy of them, what happened, or even your own thoughts.
You must move on now.

Don’t buy into the cutesy stuff about needing more ‘self-love’ - this is unnecessary and self-absorbed.

You are already made of love.

You needn’t look inward, and you don’t need ‘fixing.’
You need to get up, stand up straight, and embody your powerful self.

You need to get out there and improve someone else’s life.

To forget yourself is to realise your greatest strength.

14 tiny behaviours that make people instantly respect you more

- thread -

1. Talk less.

Speaking less demonstrates comfort in one’s own skin if coupled with a relaxed demeanour and adds to your sense of mystery.

2. Be relaxed and move slow.

Quick movements and fidgeting make you appear nervous and thus lower status.

3. Hold people’s eye.

Nothing says ‘I’m confident and I am interested in other people’ than holding someone’s gaze, especially for a little longer than might feel comfortable.

👀

4. Talk boldly.

Occasionally say something that needs to be said that no one else is daring to say.

Speak your mind honestly.

7 outrageous tips that will save you time so you reach your goals 5x fast:

You're not alone if you seem to waste time each day, even if you're ambitious and want to get lots done.

Many of us could use some refreshing ideas on how to make the most of our time, like these:

1. Focus on your next three.

You're holding the things you think you need to get done in your head all at once.

This overwhelms you.

But it's in the mind.

In reality, all we ever have is the one thing right in front of us.

So pay attention to the delicious beauty of the present moment.

Identify your next 1-3 priorities.

Don't think them. Write the suckers down.

That's all you need to know to have a fighting chance of being one of the most productive people you and I know.

2. Make friends with boredom.

So many of us get one whiff of boredom, break into a sweat, and immediately throw on Netflix.

Then we proudly shout from the rooftops: 'I'm rarely bored! Look at me! I'm living my best life!'

Shut it, Sally.

14 tips for masterful writing you won’t find in any writing manual

- thread -

Fourteen years of writing online, mostly crap, with a few gems, has taught me much.

You will not read this in any formal writing guide.

Enter at your own risk...

1. Don’t share if it’s not awkward.

Share pieces that make you a little nervous.

We live at a time where few speak the truth for fear of being politically incorrect.

The messages we see in the media and lots of content are smothered in delusion, wrapped in an additional layer of bullshit.

People are ravenous for honesty. Say what few dare say.

Don’t get yourself banned - tread with awareness and grace - but don’t let that be an excuse to avoid being real.

Readers flock to those with courage.

11 tiny habits that lose you respect:

Decades of awkwardness compelled me to learn and understand what connects us to one another and what pushes us apart.

People make judgements extremely quickly about the kind of person we are.

This means there are subtle changes we all can make that impact how others see us.

Let's go:

1. Too fast to agree.

If I'm speaking with someone, and they nod along enthusiastically to all that I say, and they rarely disagree, I can't help but lose interest.

This doesn't mean you need to be combative and unpleasant.

But agreeing to everything and everyone is like adding water to paint.

It dilutes who you are in my eyes.

If you want to win an argument, don't make these mistakes:

First things first: The best way to win an argument is to not enter one in the first place.

However, we don't always have that luxury and can sometimes find ourselves needing to defend a point of view.

If this happens, here are 15 logical fallacies to avoid:

Anecdotal (vs. Empirical Evidence)

Using a personal experience or an isolated example to try and prove a point instead of empirical or more compelling evidence.

Humans tend to believe and relate to stories, but don't fall into this trap.

What's true for you isn't always true.

Likely or Plausible Fallacy

Likely: Incorrectly assuming that just because something is possible means that it is likely.

Plausible: Incorrectly assuming that just because something is plausible means that it is true.

Begging The Question

Involves presenting a circular argument where the conclusion is included in the premise.

Examples:

1/ "Of course smoking causes cancer. The smoke from cigarettes is a carcinogen."

2/ "Circular reasoning is bad mostly because it's not very good."

10 HARDCORE LIFE LESSONS FROM FRIEDRICH NIETZSCHE:

1) Govern yourself

To quote Nietzsche:

“He who cannot obey himself will be commanded.”

Most people need an external force to motivate them into action, or to keep them in check morally.

Freedom is the will to be responsible to oneself.

It’s imperative that a man learns to be his own leader, to act in accordance with his own beliefs, and to use his own values as a moral compass.

Such a man becomes elevated from a yes-man to a Superman.

2) Follow your own path

Nietzsche said:

“You have your way, and I have my way. As for the right way, the correct way, and the only way, it doesn’t exist!”

The lesson here is that no one has the license to dictate your life’s trajectory.

Never let anyone interfere with your life, and you should never interfere with anyone’s life.

"I really want to break into Product Management"

make products.

"If only someone would tell me how I can get a startup to notice me."

Make Products.

"I guess it's impossible and I'll never break into the industry."

MAKE PRODUCTS.

Courtesy of @edbrisson's wonderful thread on breaking into comics – https://t.co/TgNblNSCBj – here is why the same applies to Product Management, too.


There is no better way of learning the craft of product, or proving your potential to employers, than just doing it.

You do not need anybody's permission. We don't have diplomas, nor doctorates. We can barely agree on a single standard of what a Product Manager is supposed to do.

But – there is at least one blindingly obvious industry consensus – a Product Manager makes Products.

And they don't need to be kept at the exact right temperature, given endless resource, or carefully protected in order to do this.

They find their own way.

Some thoughts on episode 53 of #Hercai

Love,that is not real,has no passion. Its fire turns into embers, it doesn’t not smell. The day, the night, the moon&year burn without sun, light, comfort&sleep.

1
PRAISE
The praise in this episode goes foremost to Ebru because she portrayed Reyyan so realistically like a woman who truly lost her unborn child. I was in awe and pain watching her along the episode, all her breakdowns and tears were so real.
#Hercai

2
Of course also Akın took his part and did his part masterfully, but he rightfully was the one who stood aside in this specific episode that needed to be about Reyyan’s pain and thus concentrated on Ebru.
#Hercai

3
And last but not least, if I say thank you to something that B gave us this year, then it’s to have Ali as our director. Also in this episode we saw the artistic eye behind every shot and I loved it.
#Hercai

OVERALL COMMENT
I don’t know who wrote ep. 52 but ep. 53 was going strong once more on symbols: roses, stones, fire and trees were incorporated and especially the ReyMir dialogues were written very well. I truly loved every ReyMir scene.
So let's get into it.

5 star RSI Strategy by @VishalMalkan

Unconventional approach of 60-40 RSI and range shift concept.

According to him,
whenever the market is bearish,
it won’t be able to cross 60,
and whenever in a bullish trend,
it won’t be able to cross 40.

Like & Retweet for Maximum Reach.

So, instead of the 70-30 Relative Strength Index,
we will use the 60-40 range for the RSI indicator for this strategy.

When the
Monthly and Weekly RSI>60,
& when the RSI takes support at 40 in the daily chart,
it may bounce back and most probably it will not go below 40.

If a bullish candle is formed at the 40 RSI level,
the prices may bounce back, and one can enter the stock.

The stoploss can be placed at the low of that bullish candlestick,
and the target can be the 60 RSI level.

When the
Monthly and Weekly RSI<40,
& when the RSI takes resistance at 60 in the daily chart,
it may bounce back and most probably it will not go above 60

If a bearish candle is formed at the 60 RSI level,
the prices may bounce back from there, & 1 can enter the stock 4 shorting

The stoploss can be placed at the high of that bearish candlestick, and the target can be the 40 RSI levels.

#banknifty

This range shift concept can be applied in any timeframe,
whether intraday, daily,weekly, etc.

Butt plugs were originally sold as a miracle cure for headaches, acne, and insanity

Thread, article here and h/t: @qikipedia :
https://t.co/Ts84xnmWKJ


For a long time, medicine was pre-occupied with the question "can this be solved by putting something in the butt?"

Take, for example, tobacco smoke enemas, in which 18th Century physicians saw drowning victims and attempted to de-deadify them by blowing tobacco smoke up their rectums with a pipe.


Despite having no medical benefit whatsoever, the practice was popular, and enema kits lined the Thames like lifebelts, ready to be used as one final humiliation for somebody who was crap at swimming.

This practice ended sometime after 1800 when it became apparent that it didn't really work, given how the anus famously isn't really connected to the lungs, but doctors weren't quite finished with having a poke around in the old anus to see what happens just yet.
