8 Things Every Person Should Do Before 8 A.M.

 8 Things Every Person Should Do Before 8 A.M. by Benjamin P. Hardy, medium.com June 19, 2015 Here is the Italian and French translations. Life is busy. It can feel impossible to move toward your dreams. If you have a full-time job and kids, it’s even harder. How do you move forward? If you don’t purposefully carve time out every day to progress and improve — without question, your time will get lost in the vacuum of our increasingly crowded lives. Before you know it, you’ll be old and withered — wondering where all that time went. As Professor Harold Hill has said — “You pile up enough tomorrows, and you’ll find you are left with nothing but a lot of empty yesterdays.” Rethinking Your Life and Getting Out of Survival Mode This article is intended to challenge you to rethink your entire approach to life. The purpose is to help you simplify and get back to the fundamental...

How to Learn Faster: Pick Up Pen and Paper

 How to Learn Faster: Pick Up Pen and Paper by Jessica Stillman, inc.com August 22, 2017 CREDIT: Getty Images Photo by: Getty Images Computers have made almost everything faster. Want to write a friend, fill up the fridge, or research any topic under the sun? These days, a few clicks and it's done. But according to research, there's at least one area where going digital might just slow you down -- learning. A steady drumbeat of studies suggests that when it comes to retaining and processing new knowledge, if you want to speed up the process, you might want to put down your screens and reach for old-fashioned pen and paper instead. Why the turtle wins this race. But wait, you might object, I can type much faster than I can write by hand. How on earth could old-fashioned handwriting possibly be speedier? And you would be right. Writing by hand is slower than whacking out words on a keyboard. But when it comes to learning, slow and steady often wins the race. Yes, pen a...

Attention, Students: Put Your Laptops Away

 Attention, Students: Put Your Laptops Away npr.org | April 17, 2016 As laptops become smaller and more ubiquitous, and with the advent of tablets, the idea of taking notes by hand just seems old-fashioned to many students today. Typing your notes is faster — which comes in handy when there's a lot of information to take down. But it turns out there are still advantages to doing things the old-fashioned way. For one thing, research shows that laptops and tablets have a tendency to be distracting — it's so easy to click over to Facebook in that dull lecture. And a study has shown that the fact that you have to be slower when you take notes by hand is what makes it more useful in the long run. In the study published in Psychological Science, Pam A. Mueller of Princeton University and Daniel M. Oppenheimer of the University of California, Los Angeles sought to test how note-taking by hand or by computer affects learning. "When people type their notes, they have th...

Can I mail you in Hindi?

मेरा जन्म भले ही गुजरात के कच्छ में हुआ हो, पर मैं मुम्बई के सबर्ब घाटकोपर और डोम्बिवली में बड़ा हुआ। घाटकोपर में हम 'डूंगरी' पर रहते थे, वहाँ से अपग्रेड करके जूनी पुलिस चौकी के पीछे की एक चाल में रहे, पांचवी तक कि पढ़ाई घाटकोपर में हुई उसके बाद डोम्बिवली में नहेरु मैदान इलाकेमें एक बिल्डिंग के चौथे माले पर फ्लैटमे रहने गए। आगे की पढ़ाई वहाँ पूरी हुई। मैं गुजराती मीडियम का अबाव एवरेज छात्र रहा हूँ। पर दसवीं या एसएससी के बाद इंग्लिश में ही आगे की पढ़ाई हुई। इंग्लिश पहले से ही मेरा फेवरिट सब्जेक्ट भी रहा है और भारत मे खास कर मुम्बई में, बिज़नेस लैंग्वेज के रूप में इंग्लिश का चलन ज्यादा रहा है। शायद इसी वजह से आज लिखने, लिखकर वार्तालाप करने और लिखकर अपने विचार प्रकट करना मैं ज्यादा प्रेफर करता हुँ। आज मुझे मेरी फर्स्ट लैंग्वेज गुजराती लिखने में ज्यादा मुश्किल होती है। कंप्यूटर, मोबाइल और गूगल के द्वारा बनाये गए इंडिक कीबोर्ड से हिंदी या अन्य भारतीय भाषा, जो मैं समझ सकता हु, उसे टाइप करते समय भी मैं इंग्लिश में वर्ड टाइप करना प्रेफर करता हुँ। शुध्द वर्णमालावाले कीबोर्ड पे टाइप करते स...

Today I got in the Local Train

तकरीबन 8:14 बजे मैं ठाकुर्ली स्टेशन प्लेटफार्म पर आ चुका था। जब प्लेटफॉर्म पर पहुँचा तब लेडीज स्पेशल ट्रेन आई नही थी, जो करीबन 10 मिनट देरी से आई। ट्रेन्स लेट होने के कारण कल्याण से आने वाली हर ट्रैन भरचक थी। उसके बाद मैंने मुम्बईकी ओर जाने वाली तीन ट्रेन्स छोड़ दी। वही 1 नंबर प्लेटफॉर्म पर कल्याण ट्रैन आई, जो कि 3-4 मिनट देरी से चल रही थी। वह ट्रैन रिटर्न में ठाकुर्ली स्टेशन पर 8:48 की सेमीफास्ट ट्रैन हो जाती है। बैठने के लिए जगह मिल जाये और आगे का सफर आराम से कटे इसलिए मैं उस ट्रैन में बीचवाले फर्स्ट क्लास कंपार्टमेंट में बैठ गया। ट्रैन कल्याण स्टेशन पहुचने से पहले पत्रिपुल के पास रुकी। मैं कृतज्ञता (gratitude) की प्रैक्टिस करते हुए भगवान को आभार व्यक्त कर रहा था। अचानक मेरी नजर ट्रैन में लगे एक बोर्ड पर गई, जिस पर लिखा था 'To Seat 38 Passengers' । बोर्ड पढ़ते ही मैं उस विधान पर विचार करने लगा। अलग अलग विचार मेरे मन मे आये।  • यहां लिखा है '38 पैसेंजर्स' तो अगर लोकल ट्रेन में उस डब्बेमे सिर्फ 38 पैसेंजर्स को ही ले जाया जाए तो कैसा होगा। लोकल ट्रेन में बैठने के लिए ...
