Observations&Reflections #4

In last season my football club had a really hard match to play with the leading team in the league. Our chance of winning was not overwhelming. Even though no one (except us) believed in our team, we won. That moment made me aware of how the confidence can influence our lives.
In a sport, self-assessment plays a huge role as well as in our everyday life. That's why it's important to be confident. It makes us believe in ourselves, overcomes fears, boundaries and obstacles - in a word, it leads us to success.
However, it is important to know the difference between confidence and overconfidence. Being too self-assured can have a bad effect on our lives such as leading to unrealistic expectations, bad decisions and coming off as arrogant and disrespectful.
The example of my match shows that confidence either can help with meeting goal or keep it back - when you are too confident.

    This seems to be a pretty thin line between being confident and cocky. Being realistic about one's own skills and abilities is one of the biggest challenges we face.

    I also think that what is most important on the path to success is confidence in yourself, but it is easy to become overconfident and ignore other peoples advises or let your arrogance lead you to failure

Recently I watched a very interesting talk of Graham Hill who introduces himself as a weekday vegetarian which obviously means that he eliminates meat from his diet from Monday to Friday. This is a great way to reduce the percentage of killed animals and decrease the risk of many diseases. He talks about a common stereotype which presumes that you can be either a vegetarian or a meat eater. In fact, you can just reduce eating meat as he does, if you are not ready to go off with it yet. a culprit The police officer caught a culprit red-handed. sustainably This firm promotes a lifestyle without damage to the environment and presents the way how to live sustainably. to lessen Being a vegetarian lessens the risk of getting sick. https://www.ted.com/talks/graham_hill_weekday_vegetarian

Today I watched an incredibly interesting and inspiring talk of Tim Urban, who talks about pushing off every task that needs to be accomplished by some deadline. He introduces two types of the brain depending on a person - procrastinator or non-procrastinator. In a funny way, he shows how easily we try to postpone every job we are supposed to do by doing every other activity instead of this one. Finally, he presents a "Life Calendar" wanting us to think about what we are procrastinating on, especially when everybody has a deadline. To be honest that was probably the best TEDTalk I have ever seen so I encourage you to give up 15 minutes and watch it! It's worth it! To perplex The teacher gave two tricky answers to  perplex  the students. A dread She overcame her  dread of heights and went bungee jumping. To watch over She was calm because she felt like her guardian angel watched over her.  https://www.ted.com/talks/tim_urban_insi...

Today I watched a video which shows what happens in our body when we swallow the gum. As much as food by chewing is breaking into smaller pieces, gum's form is not changing at all. Still, the muscles of our digestive track remove it in a day or two with other food that cannot be fully digested. However, too many gums can cause damage to health. It automatically clogs the intestines triggering stomachache or constipation. intact She had an accident but happily, her spinal cord was intact . fish out She was looking for her diary in her bag and finally  fished out  it. spit Footballers often spit  on the pitch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u_1sVri3b2w
