Observations&Reflections #12

Last time I had to make a really tough decision. The problem was that there was no good solution. After two weeks being in two minds, I resolved to follow a path which I considered the best possible option. The point is that now I can say that I am not sure with the accuracy of my decision. This is a common situation when we often regret our choices or at least we fell less satisfied than we would be after choosing a different option. But should we blame ourselves for making 'bad' decisions? Of course no. At first, we should start thinking about making mistakes as learning opportunities. After one bad choice, we will not make it again. Moreover, if we make a bad decision, we have to forgive ourselves. No one makes only good choices because being wrong is a natural thing. So if you will make a bad decision, do not regret it, just forget and draw a conclusion for the next time.

    This relates back to the 'paradox of choice' and 'happiness' TED talks we watched. If the situation you are talking about was an irreversible decision, it should be relatively easy to just accept its consequences and move on.

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
