Susan Cain-The Power Of Introverts


A brilliant talk about how our culture has become so exroverted that being an introvert is being viewed as awkward ,even anti-social in a way.Susan Cain makes great points on how this system should be changed by recognizing and appreciating the differences between extroverts and introverts.

Joachim de Posada says, Don't eat the marshmallow yet | Video on TED.com

Joachim de Posada says, Don't eat the marshmallow yet Video on TED.com

Here is an engrossing experiment about the relation between delaying gratification and its impact on success.Joachim de Posada states that if our ability of delaying gratification is good we are more likely to be successful in our lives.Basically kids aged 4-6 years old are left in a room by themselves while being given a marshmallow and they are told to not eat the marshmallow for 50 minutes in order to get another one.According to Joachim de Posada the kids who didnt eat the marshmallow are more likely to be successful later on in their lives.I do value delayed gratification and endurance,however this speech left me with some questions in my mind.Would the childeren act the same way if they werent told how long they had to wait? and does telling them to not eat the marshmallow accually cause an opposite reaction in their minds?
The kids are totally adorable by the way :)

Iain McGilchrist: The divided brain | Video on TED.com

Iain McGilchrist: The divided brain Video on TED.com

This is a very intersting talk about the right and left sides of the brain.Can we really seperate these parts that sharply? or do we accually mix the properties of the right and the left side? However are we using both equally in our society today? Iain McGilchrist suggests that we are mostly using the properties of the left brain .I definitely agree with that statement.We seem to live in a world completely controlled by the left brain.....but we are just narrowing our perspective and that totally destroys empathy,imagination and creativity which are accually the terms that has been a base to every science! We need to think with both parts and broaden our vision.

Jung Personality Test

I stumbled upon this site and took the test,for me it was acually quite accurate,my result was an INFJ(lol ,but i dont think that im likely to support marijuana legalization!) Although personality is a very complicated term and cannot be divided into categories,i think this test has a good accuaracy.
If you have time i think this is a great test to learn more about your personality :)
