How Taking Risks Can Lead You to a Better Life - Goodnet

goodnet.org

Taking risks doesn’t mean succeeding every time, and that’s OK! Taking risks can lead to failure which in turn can help you grow as a person.

Many of life’s greatest achievements require going outside of your comfort zone. Whether it means overcoming shyness to perform onstage, investing money to help your business grow, or putting yourself out there for the chance to find love, some of life’s most rewarding experiences come as a result of taking risks.

However, many of us have a difficult time dealing with the uncertainty that goes along with taking risks. A feeling of unease grows out of not knowing the outcome and the fear of potential failure. What if I embarrass myself in front of everyone? What if I lose all the money that I invested? What if I open my heart and get rejected? What if I’m not good enough?

Answer that with another “what if”: what if the point of taking risks isn’t the outcome, but the process in and of itself. Through taking risks, we must confront our own fears, and sometimes that leads to failure… But what if that wasn’t such a bad thing after all?

The Key to Succeed? Learn to Fail

“The master has failed more times than the beginner has even tried.” — Stephen McCranieMany may have a negative view of failure, but actually, it can provide an essential tool for building character. Failure makes us stronger and more resilient. People who fail repeatedly develop persistence in the face of difficulties.

Look at the 16th President of the United States, Abraham Lincoln, who lost eight elections, failed twice in business, and suffered a nervous breakdown all before becoming one the greatest American presidents. Through failure, he developed the persistence necessary to later lead his country through one of it’s hardest periods in history. Perhaps he never could have done so without experiencing so many failures himself.

What does that tell us? Taking risks doesn’t mean succeeding every time, and that’s ok! The process of taking risks may lead to failure, but even that can make us a better person by increasing the capacity to recover quickly from difficulties.

Tsai administration makes social media push to connect to public

President Tsai Ing-wen has shown glimmers of promise as an internet influencer. This week she caused a buzz with a video featuring her adventures in the Ximending entertainment area. It's only the latest in the central government's push in social media. Officia

ls from all levels of government are embracing tweets, videos, live streams, and other social media as tools to connect with the people.

   

Taiwan (CNN) —

The Taiwanese capital, Taipei, has about 20 streets dedicated to food. Every time you think you've found the best streetside bao, the most incredible stinky tofu or mind-blowing beef noodle soup.

1. Braised pork rice

"Where there's a wisp of smoke from the kitchen chimney, there will be lurou fan [braised pork with rice]," goes the Taiwanese saying. The popularity of this humble dish cannot be overstated.

"Lurou fan" is almost synonymous with Taiwanese food.

"Lurou fan is the more ordinary and down-to-earth dish for any Taiwanese," says Rae Lin, founder of dearbnb, a Taiwanese travel website. "From your mother's version of lurou fan to the one served in a restaurant, it's the one dish we truly can't live without."

A good bowl of lurou fan features finely chopped, not quite minced, pork belly, slow-cooked in aromatic soy sauce with five spices. There should be an ample amount of fattiness, in which lies the magic. The meat is spooned over hot rice. A little sweet, a little salty, braised pork rice is comfort food perfected.

2. Bubble tea

Bubble tea represents the "QQ" food texture that Taiwanese love. The phrase refers to something that is especially chewy, like the tapioca balls that form the "bubbles" in bubble tea. It's said this unusual drink was invented out of boredom.

Chun Shui Tang and Hanlin Tea Room both claim to have invented bubble tea by combining sweetened tapioca pudding (a popular Taiwanese dessert) with tea.

Regardless of which shop did it first, today the city is filled with bubble tea joints. Variations on the theme include taro-flavored tea, jasmine tea and coffee, served cold or hot.

3. Anything braised with Lantern soy sauce

No matter what you choose from the Lantern Lu Wei food stall, it'll take on the taste of the signature five-spice soy sauce. It's a little sweet, not too salty and aromatic, made with cloves, star anise, cinnamon and other spices.

Pick your preferred ingredients and the chef will cook it in a pot filled with the special sauce. It's a perfect light meal before a big night out. You should expect to wait in line as the chef never rushes -- he takes his time to allow the the food to absorb the sauce.

晚睡=慢性自殺

Being a 'night owl' could kill you, study finds

By Honor Whiteman       

I wake up at 5.15 a.m. each day to get to work on time, so going to bed at a reasonable hour is a must for me. According to new research, it's also beneficial to my health; scientists found that "night owls" have a higher risk of early death.

Researchers find that being a night owl can take its toll on health.

Being a "lark," as morning people are commonly referred to, has its downsides; I love the idea of staying up late to watch movies, or even going to a club until the early hours and stumbling to bed at 6 a.m. Sadly, I'm usually asleep on the couch by 10 p.m.

Reading the results of this latest study, however, has made me realize that being a lark may not be so bad, after all — for my health, at least.

The Scary Reason Sleeping Late Is Going To Kill You | Men's Health Singapore

According to an article in AFP, a Japanese research team was led by Dr Nobuo Sasaki of the Hiroshima Atomic Bomb Casualty Council, Japan, on determining what kind of sleep disturbance(s) are related to cardiovascular diseases such as ischemic heart disease and stroke. As Dr Sasaki explains, “[most people know that] poor sleep is associated with cardiovascular diseases such as ischemic heart disease and stroke, but the kind of sleep disturbances that are most risky is not well documented”.

The Definitions

First off, what is known as ischemic heart disease?

Otherwise known as coronary heart disease, or coronary artery disease, the term “ischemic heart disease” refers to heart problems caused by narrowed heart arteries. When these arteries are narrowed, lesser blood and oxygen can reach the heart, and can lead to heart attack.

And whilst the term may be used loosely sometimes, the term ‘poor sleep’, as Dr Sasaki said, “includes too short or too long sleep, a difficulty in falling asleep, and difficulty maintaining sleep.”

The Results

The team found that a little over half of the patients with ischemic heart disease (52%), 48% who had stroke, and 37% of patients with no cardiovascular disease suffered from poor sleep. They then extrapolated the analysis with these results, and concluded that poor sleep quality, long sleep latency, low sleep efficiency, and use of sleeping pills were significantly associated with both ischemic heart disease and stroke, whereas difficulty in maintaining sleep, a short sleep duration, and daytime dysfunction were only associated with ischemic heart disease.

Ways To Manage People Who Get On Your Nerves

Renee Cocchi   Copyright 2017 ResourcefulManager

Here are additional suggestions for managing people who rub you the wrong way:

1)      Business, Not Pleasure

It’s called work for a reason. It’s great if you enjoy your job, but you’re not there for fun and games.

So leave your emotions at the door, and get your job done.

And remember, while it’s necessary to have “business relationships” with the people you work with, “friendships” are not a requirement.

2) Get Rid Of The Hate

It’s a harsh word, but when you’re constantly with someone who works on your last nerve, dislike can turn to hate.

But the only thing these feelings do is cause you added stress. And let’s face it, none of us need more stress.

Just realize that the person who’s annoying you endlessly is a product of her environment, as you are of yours.

Maybe she’s more outspoken than you’d like or too quiet, but as long as she gets her job done well and doesn’t hurt anyone, what’s the harm?

3) Put On Your Poker Face

If there’s a person on your staff you don’t like, he shouldn’t have a clue as to your true feelings. If he does, he’ll think it’s due to his job performance.

As the boss, it’s up to you to remain fair and impartial and maintain a cordial, professional business relationship.

4) Dissect The Issue

Why does this person bug you so much? Does he have an answer for everything? Does he remind you of someone from your past you don’t like?

Once you’ve figured out why this person grates on your nerves, maybe it’ll soften your reaction to him.

Remember, you can’t change someone’s personality, but you can change how you react to that person.

5) Find Common Ground

You may not want to and you may find it highly unpleasant at first, but try to find things you have in common with the person you dislike.

While getting coffee, find out if he’s read any good books lately or watched a favorite TV show of yours.

Does he have pets, if so what kind? Does he like to travel, if so where? Where did he grow up?

Women are more attracted to rich men - scientists

New research has found an easy way for men to get more attention - be wealthy.

Researchers have discovered that women are far more likely to find rich men attractive. However this isn't true in reverse, they say.

The study, recently published in the journal Evolution and Human Behaviour, involved asking over 300 men and women to rate pictures of the opposite sex based on their attractiveness.

Salary information was then added to the images, and the participants were asked to re-rank them.

The researchers concluded that women are significantly more sensitive to salary information when considering a partner compared to men.

"A man can move himself two points higher on the attractiveness scale we used if his salary increases by a factor of 10," study author John Speakman told The Times.

"For a female to achieve the same two-point effect, her salary would need to increase by 10,000 times."

The study argues this could be driven by the different sexes' mating strategies.

The study showed that men prioritise youth and high fertility - in other words, physical attractiveness - in their search for a partner.

"Parental investment hypotheses regarding mate selection suggest that human males should seek partners featured by youth and high fertility. However, females should be more sensitive to resources that can be invested on themselves and their offspring," the authors wrote.

"We found that ratings of attractiveness were around four times more sensitive to salary for females rating males, compared to males rating females. These results indicate that higher economic status can offset lower physical attractiveness in men much more easily than in women."

Is vigilantism good or bad ?  debate.org

    Vigilantism is what makes the law.

    When you find that something is wrong with the law, you do not wait for the thing to be recorded into the law, be allowing the victims to suffer. You will do what you can to stop the injustice for that moment, and then wait for the law to change.

    For example, when we see someone is being hurt badly with a harmless thing, we cannot interfere in the situation as a third person when we follow law strictly. If he doesn't listen when we yell at him, we choose to attack the attacker with whatever we got till he is stopped. If we do not possess the quality of vigilante, we are only allowed to shout at the attacker. At most, get beaten instead. We have to fight for a cause, when we should. Law is not divine. It is just being manipulated by people all the time. Being changed. Collective good of society is what actually matters.

Police are useless

There is no justice, only justice you make yourself, i learned this over and over again the hard way. Bring forth our heroes, our next door neighbours with the balls to do something. It is wrong to rely on authorities when authorities bow down to the man with the most change in his pocket, we must bow down to the man with the most change in his heart.

Just no.......Just no.

Vigilantes can have bias.....And maybe they want revenge. What if someone stole a dollar from a vigilante and he/she murdered the thief? They just stole a dollar but got killed. Is that fair? No. But can it happen? Absolutely. Vigilantes are criminals punishing other criminals. It doesn't make sense and it's not fair

 Vigilantism is not good.

Vigilantism is not good. We cannot have every person on a one-man mission. We have a set of laws in this country and we should adhere to them. If we choose not to follow the law, it should be addressed in the courts, not on the streets. One person should not be allowed to decide who is right or wrong and then take justice into their own hands.

7 vigilantes storm home, angry mob in New Tai... | Taiwan News

TAIPEI (Taiwan News) -- Last night (Jan. 13), seven vigilantes stormed the home of a New Taipei man, while an angry mob gathered outside and fried chili peppers, after video surfaced of him physically assaulting his son and wife over meatballs that were not spicy enough.

After video surfaced on social media of a man 42-year-old man surnamed Lin (林) beating his son and choking his wife, a gang of vigilantes stormed his home and assaulted him for revenge, while an angry mob gathered outside his home in New Taipei City's Luzhou District and fried up hot chili peppers in protest.

Yesterday afternoon, a member of Baoyuan Commune (爆怨公社) posted a video on the Facebook group showing Lin berating his son for bringing back Taiwanese Ba-wan (肉圓, meatballs) without the hot peppers he had requested. The verbal abuse soon transforms into physical violence with the man striking his son in the face and choking his wife as both apologize for the infraction.

Outrage on social media soon spread like wildfire, prompting seven men to gather outside of Lin's home and ring the doorbell. Once he opened the door, they stormed in and started slapping him to get revenge for his hapless son and wife, before police arrived on the scene and an ambulance whisked Lin to Shin Kong Wu Ho-Su Memorial Hospital for treatment, according to TVBS.

Police used batons to subdue the seven vigilantes, before taking them in for questioning. Two of the vigilantes sustained significant injuries that required them to be also be sent to Shin Kong Wu Ho-Su Memorial Hospital for medical treatment, reported ETtoday.

Meanwhile, a huge angry mob numbering in the hundreds gathered outside of Lin's home and started to fry chili peppers in protest. Live video of the scene soon gathered 90,000 views, and it was not until police came out with their own pot of fried peppers that the crowd finally started to disperse around 11:18, according to CNA.

Luzhou police told ETtoday that they had received a report of the domestic disturbance involving Lin, his wife, and son at 8 p.m. on Jan. 12. After Lin's wife and son were sent to the hospital, doctors documented bruises on the woman's head and shoulder, while the 12-year-old boy had bruises on his right cheek and abrasions on his left ear and right hand.

Police said that an emergency protection order has been applied for to shield the woman and her children, and negotiations with the Department of Social Welfare have begun on taking steps to prevent Lin from assaulting the family again. Lin's wife has taken the children with her to her mother's home, and after they recover from their injuries, she plans to file charges against him.

The boy's grandfather complained that domestic violence had occurred on numerous occasions over the 12 years the couple had been married, with both mother and son frequently covered in bruises, reported ETtoday. The grandfather said that, although his daughter claimed things were fine, he knew of at least three occasions in which his son-in-law had beaten her after getting drunk.

3 Ways to Discover Your Hidden Natural Talent          inc

By Leonard KimManaging

1.What Thrilled You As A Child?

Take two minutes and recall your most joyous memories from elementary school.

What made those moments so enjoyable? What were the common threads?

Were you highly competitive as a 9-year-old? Maybe you loved soccer and couldn't wait for recess every day. You lived for it. You cherished that moment you could run out to the practice field and start competing.

Or, maybe you enjoyed working on big, competitive, team-oriented projects? Your friends loved it when you were in their group. You had a knack for nudging the whole team's grade from B- to A . You relished these opportunities. It was thrilling.

As you ponder these childhood memories, consider what similar activities thrill you as an adult.

You may still be highly competitive, but now you're competing to win new business for your start-up. You may still love complex, strategic projects, but now you do it for an international consulting firm.

Why do we make certain choices and enjoy certain activities? Why are we better at some things than others?

If you've ever taken the StrengthsFinder 2.0 assessment, you know that a “talent theme” (to use Gallup's terminology) is a naturally recurring pattern of thought, feeling or behavior that can be productively applied.

Understanding your unique talents gives you answers to these questions. Your unique talents show you why you make certain choices, enjoy certain activities and are better at some things than others. In fact, there's only a 1-in-33 million chance you have the same top 5 talent themes as another person!

2. You Lose Track of Time

You begin a favorite activity. Maybe it's playing guitar or gardening or writing that novel. Maybe it's coding Python for that personal pet project you started months ago.

This activity, whenever you do it, pulls you in like a tractor beam. Your mind, body and intuition begin working in perfect symmetry. You lose track of time. Before you know it, it's 12:30 and you haven't even thought about lunch yet.

What if work was just as fulfilling as your Saturday morning side project? Is it even possible to capture and harness that magic?

Yes-take very close note of moments like this. If you're so captivated in an activity that you lose track of time, you're experiencing one of the key symptoms of flow.

And, if you're experiencing any amount of flow on a project, you're most likely also using one or more of your natural talents.

3. What do you yearn to do?

What fire is burning inside of you at this very moment?

There's never been an easier time in the course of human history to begin fulfilling your life's mission than right now.

Do you love writing? Cool. Start a blog.

Can you crochet better than anyone in the tri-state area? Great. Make a few extra scarves and sell them on Etsy.

Does even thinking about meeting and connecting with new people send you into happiness overdrive? Perfect. Launch a meet-up for local executives in your city.

How to make money from live streaming    quora.com

This is not casual stuff we’re talking about — you’ll need a lot of time, dedication, and probably no small amount of luck to get to the point where you can make decent money while livestreaming.

Advertising

Advertising might seem like the way to make decent money while livestreaming, but you might not be able to do it depending on the platform.

Facebook Live and periscope allow pre-roll and mid-roll ads on their livestreams, but it’s not available to just everyone — you’ll need a relatively large audience (300 viewers on FB Live,for example) before you’ll get the option to put ads in your streams.

Most YouTube channels make their money by volunteering to be part of Google’s Adsense, which pays . Again, this will be something will only come to a large channel, as YouTubers cannot make ad money until they reach 10,000 lifetime views

Fan Donations

One version of it on YouTube is Super Chat, which lets viewers pay a small fee to get their chat message pinned to the top of the comment section for a select amount of time.

Twitch’s version of the same system is Bits.Viewers pay for partnered or affiliated streamers to receive a certain number of Bits, with Twitch splitting the revenue between itself and the streamer. Viewers send messages with their Bits which stand out from the rest of the chat.

There’s also third-party donation processors out there to allow viewers to make larger donations directly to the streamer. streamlab which works with YouTube, Mixer, Facebook Live, and Twitch — has the highest profile out of them.

Subscriptions

One-time donations can do a lot for a streamer — for some streamers, it may be a primary source of income. But if you’re a regular streamer and you have a dedicated audience, you can open yourself to monthly subscriptions. These allow you to capitalize on a core audience for income without necessarily alienating newcomers.

Twitch , Mixer,Smashcast, and Picarto both have in-house monthly subscription services, which allow audience members to pay a monthly fee to support the streamer.

Japan issues national warning after major spi... | Taiwan News

This flu season has already seen over one million cases reported throughout Japan, travelers should take proper precautions

TAIPEI (Taiwan News) – Flu season in Japan is causing many people to fall ill, with over one million cases reported. As a result the Japanese government has issued a nationwide alert urging people to wash their hands frequently and wear masks outside in crowded areas.

Travelers planning to visit Japan in the coming weeks should also be careful and take precautions. In addition to the national warning, local governments in Japan including Tokyo, Kanagawa, Saitama, Shizuoka, Ibaraki, Nagano, and Fukuoka have also issued public warnings.

The highest concentrations of patients checking in with the flu at hospitals and clinics are reportedly in Hokkaido, and Aichi prefectures, with many suffering from the H1N1 strain of flu that was a major health concern ten years previous.

The Ministry of Health, Labor, and Welfare says that 446,000 cases of the flu were reported the last week of December, which represented a spike of over 300,000 from cases reported the previous week, prompting the nationwide warning.

This season, the total reported cases of the flu in Japan already numbered over 1,064,000, which is approximately 11 people for every hospital or medical clinic in the country, according to reports.

When the average surpassed the “10 person per medical facility” mark, the central government deemed it necessary to issue the warning.

Travelers visiting Japan and those already there should observe the government’s advice.

Likewise, many cases of the flu have also been reported in Taiwan this season, and medical professionals here likewise urge everyone to take proper precautions and wash thier hands frequently.
