Resding books written in other eras can help tu know thoughts, ideas, culture and costums of people who lived at that time.They are often hidden in romances, like Austen's novels, or other genres, which make the reading more pleasant even for young people.

Why Reading Classic Books?

-improve your vocabulary and fluency of speech-open your mind-more concentration-give new ideas or solutions for problems-make you think about yourself and life I decide to explain an example of meaning taking one of the most popular classic American book: Moby Dick by Herman Melville.

Benefits Of Reading💪🏻

Humans spend their entire life running towards obsessions, perfection, something is not available to them because ther are simply...human. And finally they get destroyed by this "unreachable" that has a different meaning for every man. Like captain Achab, who died because of the big white whale, Moby Dick, his only purpose since the ship left Nuntacket's harbour. He obsessively follow the whale to have his revenge (Moby Dick ate his leg during a previous hant), and he spent his entire life thinking about his revenge without living a real and full life.

The Meaning Behind Moby Dick

-The white whale swam in front of his eyes like the obsessive incarnation of all those forces of evil by which certain profound men feel themselves being bitten into their very depths. -But when we pursue those distant mysteries that we dream of, or torment ourselves in pursuit of that demonic ghost which sooner or later swims past all human hearts, when we thus hunt round this globe, those things bring us inside sterile labyrinths, or they leave us halfway, at the bottom.

Here Are Some Phrases That Excited Me😊

-the pirates immediately turn away, because they are evil scoundrels on both sides, and they don't like to see their own mutual scoundrel too much. (This remind me the projection by Carl G. Just I wrote about a few days ago, it was my first publication)

Reading is the only addiction that doesn't hurt, and it's the best cure for the soul.

"All that can be done is for each one of us to invent our own ideal library of our classics." --from Why Read the Classics? Classics, according to Italo Calvino, are not only works of enduring cultural value, but also something much more personal: talismans, touchstones, books through which we understand our world and ourselves. In Why Read the Classics?, Calvino shares over thirty of his classics in essays of warmth, humor, and striking insight. He ranges from Homer to Jorge Luis Borges, from the Persian folklorist Nezami to Charles Dickens. Whether tracing the links between Ovid's Metamorphoses and Alain Robbe-Grillet's objectivity, discovering the origins of science fiction in the writings of Cyrano de Bergerac, or convincing us that the Italian novelist Carlo Emilio Gadda's works are like artichokes, Calvino offers a new perspective on beloved favorites and introduces us to hidden gems. "This book serves as a welcome reminder that the great works are great because they can mean so much to readers, and Calvino is a most knowledgeable guide to all the best destinations." --San Francisco Chronicle

Why Read the Classics?

This routine is simple: right when you wake up you go and exercise. Before eating breakfast, checking your phone and emails or watching some television—go out and move.The first benefit of this is that it puts fitness in that all-important first slot of the day. If you’ve struggled with staying on a regular exercise schedule in the past, this can be a good way to make sure it is a priority.Second, this habit can wake you up. Exercise can keep you alert and mentally functioning at your prime, when a coffee may only be able to slightly prolong your later-day crash.

1. Exercise and Energy

Contrary to the first one, this starts with daily meditation. It’s important to do seated meditation and not do so lying down in your bed, or you’ll be likely to fall back asleep. Useful if you expect to have stressful days ahead to start yourself off with a quiet mind. Meditation allows your mind to wake up without strain so by the time you hear the final gong you’re fully awake.

2. Meditation and Stillness

The key to productivity is just doing the work. This routine underscores this by making getting some work done your first priority so that your first break is the chance to eat breakfast, shower, shave and do the normal routine you’d do in the morning.This works because it not only maximizes your time, it shifts your productivity much earlier. You finish much earlier in the day and can enjoy a less cluttered evening without guilt that you’re slacking. The second benefit is that you get to take a break when you need it.

3. Get to Work!

This is often useful for the same reason it’s useful for meditation and exercise: it puts something you struggle to schedule first thing in your day, so you won’t forget it.Recommended for: When you want to work on an important learning goal but never find time.

4. Learning First

Mental rehearsal is a key strategy elite athletes use to ensure performance. By imagining each movement vividly, they can perform better under pressure when the big event comes.You can exploit a similar impact by planning out your day in the morning. Don’t just jot down some to-do items, but imagine working on them. What will be the complications? Where will you have gaps in your schedule that need filling? What will you need to focus on?Doing this planning first thing in the morning can be a good way to prime your day for success.

5. Plan Your Day

Making your bed, brushing your teeth, showering, shaving, doing makeup, pressing your clothes and more are all little tasks that can put you in good form for the rest of your day. Such morning routines were pretty much expected a generation or two ago, but nowadays many people skip out on some of these steps as the culture has become looser.An advantage of this more traditional routine is that in putting your house and appearance in order, you put your mind in order as well.

6. Make Your Bed

Morning routines are great for managing the first part of your day, but they also depend crucially on an evening routine to complement them. If you do decide to aim for an early-rising schedule, you need an early-to-sleep routine to match it. Similarly, if you plan to work or learn first thing in the morning, you should plan out your day the night before so you know what to work on.A good evening routine should minimize blue light (a good rule is to have no screens after 9 pm) so that the melatonin circuit that controls your circadian rhythm can start to adjust for better sleep.

Add an Evening Routine

Of all the different things you can try to improve your productivity, a morning routine is one of the most effective.

How you start your morning determines the rest of the day. Do you want to start with energy, productivity and the right intention? Try these six routines.

The Six Morning Routines That Will Make You Happier, Healthier & More Productive

I am bored of all the traditional ways to not deviate from work, not to procrastinate. Tell some new ways which would help an young adult to complete works on time and avoid delaying tasks.

The Prompt

If you're looking for new and unconventional ways to stay focused, motivated, and avoid procrastination, here are some strategies that can help you as a young adult:

The Response

The Pomodoro Technique involves working in focused intervals, typically 25 minutes, followed by a short break. To add a twist, set a reward for completing a certain number of Pomodoros, such as watching an episode of your favorite TV show or going for a walk.

Pomodoro Technique with a Twist:

Turn your work into a game by assigning points or levels to different tasks. Create a reward system where you earn points for completing tasks on time or achieving milestones. You can even compete with friends or colleagues to make it more engaging.

Gamify Your Tasks

Instead of listing what you need to do, write down what you have already accomplished. Seeing your progress can motivate you to keep going and tackle the remaining tasks.

Reverse To-Do List:

Find a friend or colleague who also wants to improve their productivity. Share your goals and deadlines with each other, and check in regularly to hold each other accountable. Knowing that someone is counting on you can provide an extra push to complete your tasks.

Accountability Partner:

Sometimes a change of scenery can do wonders for productivity. Try working in a different location, such as a coffee shop, library, or park. You can also experiment with different ambient sounds, background music, or even try a standing desk or exercise ball chair to keep things fresh.

Change Your Work Environment

Instead of mindlessly scrolling through social media during breaks, try incorporating mindfulness or meditation. Take a few minutes to focus on your breathing, clear your mind, and recharge. This can help reduce stress and improve focus when you return to work.

Mindful Breaks

Spend a few minutes each day visualizing the successful completion of your tasks or projects. Imagine how you will feel once you've accomplished your goals. This visualization exercise can provide a sense of motivation and clarity, helping you stay on track.

Visualize the End Result

Chunking: Break down your tasks into smaller, manageable chunks. Large projects can be overwhelming, but dividing them into smaller steps makes them more approachable. Focus on completing one chunk at a time, celebrating each small victory along the way.

Chunking

Remember, everyone's preferences and working styles are different, so feel free to experiment with these strategies and adapt them to suit your needs. The key is to find what works best for you and create a routine that promotes productivity and minimizes procrastination.

Set SIX Alarms. It’ll Change Your Life.

The book emphasizes the importance of embracing vulnerability as a source of strength and connection. It encourages readers to lean into vulnerability and be authentic in their relationships and endeavors.

Embrace Vulnerability 

Brené Brown introduces the concept of shame resilience, which involves recognizing shame, challenging its power, and cultivating self-compassion. Building resilience helps individuals navigate shame and develop a healthier self-image.

Shame Resil

"Daring Greatly" emphasizes the role of courage in vulnerability. It encourages readers to step outside their comfort zones, take risks, and face uncertainty with bravery. Courage is seen as essential for personal growth and wholehearted living.

The Power Of Courage 

The book explores the concept of wholehearted living, which involves embracing imperfections, cultivating self-compassion, and living with authenticity and vulnerability. It encourages readers to let go of societal expectations and live in alignment with their true selves.

Wholehearted Living

"Daring Greatly" highlights the vulnerability paradox—our fear of vulnerability and desire for connection. The book explores how vulnerability can lead to deeper connections and relationships when we dare to show up authentically and be seen.

The Vulnerability Paradox

Brené Brown emphasizes the importance of empathy and compassion in fostering healthy relationships. The book provides insights on cultivating empathy, practicing active listening, and developing stronger connections with others.

Cultivating Empathy & Compassion 

The book discusses the importance of creating shame-proof environments in our personal and professional lives. It explores strategies for promoting open communication, empathy, and vulnerability in relationships, families, and organizations.

Shame Proofing Environment 

The #1 New York Times bestseller. More than 2 million copies sold! Look for Brené Brown’s new podcast, Dare to Lead, as well as her ongoing podcast Unlocking Us! From thought leader Brené Brown, a transformative new vision for the way we lead, love, work, parent, and educate that teaches us the power of vulnerability.   “It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; . . . who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly.”—Theodore Roosevelt Every day we experience the uncertainty, risks, and emotional exposure that define what it means to be vulnerable or to dare greatly. Based on twelve years of pioneering research, Brené Brown PhD, MSW, dispels the cultural myth that vulnerability is weakness and argues that it is, in truth, our most accurate measure of courage. Brown explains how vulnerability is both the core of difficult emotions like fear, grief, and disappointment, and the birthplace of love, belonging, joy, empathy, innovation, and creativity. She writes: “When we shut ourselves off from vulnerability, we distance ourselves from the experiences that bring purpose and meaning to our lives.” Daring Greatly is not about winning or losing. It’s about courage. In a world where “never enough” dominates and feeling afraid has become second nature, vulnerability is subversive. Uncomfortable. It’s even a little dangerous at times. And, without question, putting ourselves out there means there’s a far greater risk of getting criticized or feeling hurt. But when we step back and examine our lives, we will find that nothing is as uncomfortable, dangerous, and hurtful as standing on the outside of our lives looking in and wondering what it would be like if we had the courage to step into the arena—whether it’s a new relationship, an important meeting, the creative process, or a difficult family conversation. Daring Greatly is a practice and a powerful new vision for letting ourselves be seen.

**Now on Netflix as The Call to Courage** 'She's so good, Brené Brown, at finding the language to articulate collective feeling' Dolly Alderton Every time we are faced with change, no matter how great or small, we also face risk. We feel uncertain and exposed. We feel vulnerable. Most of us try to fight those feelings - or feel guilt for feeling them in the first place. In a powerful new vision Dr Brené Brown challenges everything we think we know about vulnerability, and dispels the widely accepted myth that it's a weakness. She argues that, in truth, vulnerability is strength and when we shut ourselves off from vulnerability - from revealing our true selves - we distance ourselves from the experiences that bring purpose and meaning to our lives. Daring Greatly is the culmination of 12 years of groundbreaking social research, across every area of our lives including home, relationships, work, and parenting. It is an invitation to be courageous; to show up and let ourselves be seen, even when there are no guarantees. This is vulnerability. This is daring greatly.

Dr. Brené Brown is a research professor at the University of Houston where she holds the Huffington Foundation – Brené Brown Endowed Chair at The Graduate College of Social Work. Brené is also a visiting professor in management at The University of Texas at Austin McCombs School of Business. She has spent the past two decades studying courage, vulnerability, shame, and empathy and is the author of five #1 New York Times bestsellers: The Gifts of Imperfection, Daring Greatly, Rising Strong, Braving the Wilderness, and her latest book, Dare to Lead.Brené hosts the Unlocking Us Podcast and the Dare to Lead Podcast. Her TED talk – The Power of Vulnerability – is one of the top five most viewed TED talks in the world with over 50 million views.

Daring Greatly

Accepting our mortality helps us let go of busyness and focus on what’s most important to us in order to live a happier, more meaningful life. The average human lifespan is absurdly, terrifyingly finite. If you’re lucky and you live to 80, you will have lived about 4,000 weeks. This truth, which most of us ignore most of the time, is something to wrestle with if we want to spend our limited time on this earth well.

We Only Have 4000weeks

The modern discipline of time management (or productivity) is depressingly narrow-minded. It ignores the fact that the world is bursting with wonder — and that experiencing more of that wonder may come at the cost of productivity. When we recognize the shortness of life — and accept the fact that some things have to be left unaccomplished, whether we like it or not — we are freer to focus on what matters. Rather than succumbing to the mentality of “better, faster, more,” we can embrace being imperfect, and be happier for it.

Experiencing Wonders May Come At The Cost Of Productivity 

1. Adopt a “fixed volume” approach to productivity2. Serialize3. Decide in advance what to fail at4. Focus on what you’ve already completed, not just what’s left to do5. Consolidate your caring6. Embrace boring and single-purpose technology7. Seek out novelty in the mundane8. Be a researcher in relationships9. Cultivate instantaneous generosity10. Practice doing nothing

10 suggestions about how to live with your limited time in mind

We all need to make tough choices about what we can realistically get done, so that we can prioritize the activities that matter most, instead of reacting to a constant barrage of demands.One way is to keep 2 to-do lists — one for everything on your plate, and one for the 10 or fewer things that you’re currently working on. The rule is not to move any further items from the first list onto the second until you’ve freed up a slot by finishing one of the 10 items.A related strategy is to set a pre-established time boundary for certain types of daily work and to make sure you stop when time’s up.

1. Adopt a “fixed volume” approach to productivity

Focus only on one big project at a time. Though it’s alluring to try to alleviate the anxiety of having too many responsibilities or ambitions by getting started on them all at once, you’ll make little progress that way. Multitasking rarely works well — and you’ll soon find that serializing helps you to complete more projects anyway, thereby helping relieve your anxiety.

2. Serialize

You’ll inevitably underachieve at something, simply because your time and energy are finite. But strategic underachievement — nominating in advance the areas of your life in which you won’t expect excellence — helps you focus your time and energy more effectively.To live this way is to replace the high-pressure quest for work-life balance with something more reasonable — a deliberate kind of imbalance.

3. Decide in advance what to fail at

Since the quest to get everything done is interminable by definition, it’s easy to grow despondent and self-reproachful when you can’t get through your whole to-do list. One counter-strategy is to keep a “done list,” which starts empty first thing in the morning, but which you can gradually fill in throughout the day as you get things done. It’s a cheering reminder that you could have spent the day doing nothing remotely constructive … yet you didn’t.

4. Focus on what you’ve already completed, not just what’s left 

Social media is a giant machine for getting you to spend your time caring about the wrong things — and too many of them at once. We’re exposed to an unending stream of atrocities and injustices, each of which might have a legitimate claim on our time and our charitable donations, but which add up to something no human could ever effectively address comprehensively.Once you grasp that fact fully, it’s good to consciously pick your battles in charity, activism, and politics — and devote your spare time only to those specific causes. Focus your capacity for care, so you don’t burn out.

5. Consolidate your caring

Digital distractions allow us to escape to a realm where painful human limitations don’t seem to apply — scrolling idly around online, you need never feel bored or constrained in your freedom of action, which isn’t the case when it comes to doing work that matters.Combat this by making your devices as boring as possible, removing social media apps, email,... It’s also helpful to choose devices with only one purpose, such as the Kindle reader. Otherwise, temptations will be only a swipe away, and you’ll feel the urge to check your screens anytime you’re bored or facing a challenge in your work.

6. Embrace boring and single-purpose technology

Time seems to speed up as we age, likely because our brains encode the passage of years based on how much information we process in any given interval. While children have many novel experiences and time therefore seems slower to them, the routinization of older people’s lives means that time seems to pass at an ever-increasing rate.The standard advice is to combat this by cramming more novel experiences into your life, but it’s not always practical.An alternative is to pay more attention to every moment, however mundane — to find novelty by plunging more deeply into your present life.

7. Seek out novelty in the mundane

The desire to feel in control of our limited time causes numerous problems in relationships, resulting not only in controlling behavior, but also the inability to listen, boredom, and missing out on the richness of experiences with others.When faced with a challenging or boring moment, try being curious about the person you’re with, rather than controlling. Curiosity is a stance well-suited to the inherent unpredictability of life with others, because it can be satisfied by their behaving in ways you like or dislike — whereas if you demand a certain result instead, you’ll often be frustrated.

8. Be a researcher in relationships

Whenever a generous impulse arises in your mind, give in to it right away rather than putting it off. Don’t wait to figure out if the recipient deserves your generosity or if you really have the time to be generous right now (with all of the work you have left to do!). Just do it. The rewards are immediate, too, because generous action reliably makes you feel much happier.

9. Cultivate instantaneous generosity

The capacity to do nothing is indispensable, because if you can’t bear the discomfort of not acting, you’re far more likely to make poor choices with your time, e.g. hurrying activities that can’t be rushed or feeling you ought to being “productive,” regardless if the tasks in question really matter.Doing nothing means resisting the urge to manipulate your experience or the people and things in the world around you, and to let things be as they are. By increasing your ability to do nothing, you will gradually regain your autonomy and make better choices with your brief allotment of life.

10. Practice doing nothing

10 ways to get the most out of your time on this planet

Managing personal finances can often feel overwhelming and complicated. The amount of money you should save each month varies based on your goals.Your ideal savings rate depends on your specific, long-term reasons for saving.  But what if there was a simple rule that could help you navigate your income and expenses?

Finance Management

The 50-30-20 rule suggests dividing your after-tax income into three categories— needs, wants, and savings.Do not subtract other amounts that may be withheld or automatically deducted, like health insurance or retirement contributions. Those will become part of your budget.

Enter the 50-30-20 rule.

Needs are those bills that you absolutely must pay and are the things necessary for survival. Essentials like housing, utilities, transportation, groceries, and healthcare fall under the "needs" category. These are the expenses required to maintain a basic standard of living. Aim to allocate around 50% of your income to cover these necessities.

Your Needs (50%)—

Wants are all the things you spend money on that are not absolutely essential. Such as your netflix subscription, dining out, vacations, hobbies, and shopping.It's important to enjoy life and indulge in things you love. So try to allocate around 30% of your income towards fulfilling these desires.

Your Wants (30%)—

The remaining 20% of your income should be dedicated to savings, which includes building an emergency fund, investing for retirement, paying off debts, or saving for future goals like buying a house or starting a business. This portion helps secure your financial future and grants you peace of mind. As a general rule of thumb, you should have at least 3 to 9 months of emergency savings on hand in case you lose your job or an unforeseen event occurs. After that, focus on retirement and meeting other financial goals down the road.

Your Savings (20%)—

Saving is difficult, and life often throws unexpected expenses at us. By following the 50-20-30 rule, individuals have a plan with how they should manage their income. Your savings and wants can be different depending on your own situation and what you want to achieve financially.

Bottom Line

Do not save what is left after spending, but spend what is left after saving.

Finance management is important, without which we will always struggle no matter how much money we make.

The 50-30-20 Rule - Simplifying Your Finances for a Better Future

Here are some important things to do when you are bored and/or confused...

What to do when you don't know what to do.

While most people will spend the time when they are bored scrolling their phones looking at mindless videos, for hours, it is better to read. Reading has numerous benefits:-Learning-Entertainment-Capacity to increase vocabulary-"Exercise" for the brain-Relaxing

Read

Exercising is probably the most important gift you can give to your body, not only does it increase testosterone, dopamine, etc; it also helps with anxiety and depression. Also, it increases muscle tone and strength, helps with charisma, helps you gain confidence, and it is an overall fun thing to do.

Exercise

Although being bored can be unpleasant, it is a good time to think, and plan out what you want to do in the future. People who plan out their everyday lives and goals are overall much more successful.

Plan for the future

While this may increase your boredom, it is sometimes great to put away all distractions and just think (because most of the time you are receiving information, but not really having time to process it.)

Sit and think

Last but not least, you should go for a walk. Going for a walk is always an overall good experience because not only does it allow you to think, but it gets your mind in a creative mode. (Who knows, going for a walk might even give you an idea that can change your life...) Also, walking can help you get a little bit of exercise in.

Things to do when you are bored

Recognize that discipline is a journey, and setbacks are a natural part of the process. Instead of aiming for perfection, celebrate the progress your child makes in managing their behavior and emotions. Encourage their efforts and provide support as they learn and grow.

Focus on progress, not perfection

The authors highlight the importance of repetition and practice when it comes to behavior change. By consistently reinforcing positive behaviors, you help children develop new neural pathways, making those behaviors more likely to occur in the future.

Use "neurons that fire together, wire together"

A breakfast bowl gets thrown across the kitchen, splattering milk and cereal all over the wall. One of your kids threatens a younger sibling. You get a call from the principal's office for the third time this month. What do you do? Often, parenting is treated like some form of manipulation or behavioural coercion that must be kept secret from children. No-Drama Discipline, instead, is based on recent discoveries about the brain that give us deep insights into the children we care for, what they need, and how to discipline them in ways that foster optimal development. It offers a 'relational' approach that builds on children's innate desire to please their parents and get along well with others. Following the same successful formula that made The Whole-Brain Child a bestseller, No-Drama Discipline presents clear messages in a practical and inviting format to communicate its core concepts and practices. You can discipline your children in a way that's high on relationship-building, high on respect, and low on drama and conflict. As a result, your life as a parent will be easier, and your parenting will become more effective. And more importantly, you'll create connections in your children's brains to build emotional and social skills that will serve them now and throughout their entire life -- all while strengthening your relationship with them.
