Image
J. Kempin | Getty Images Entertainment | Getty Images The wild swings in the stock market may have you stressed about your investments. Yet if you took a page from self-made billionaire Warren Buffett, you shouldn't be too concerned about daily market moves. "You've got to be prepared when you buy a stock to have it go down 50% or more and be comfortable with it, as long as you're comfortable with the holding," the Berkshire Hathaway CEO said during the company's 2020 annual shareholders meeting. The 91-year-old, who is worth $109.2 billion according to Forbes, has been called the greatest investor in the world. In fact, of the top 10 billionaires, Buffett is the only one who gained wealth so far this year, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.

– 7 Habits of Highly Effective PeopleTHISDAYLIVE - THISDAY Newspapers

Image
INTRODUCTION When faced with defining crises in life and business, most people would rather go for a "microwave"approach that offers quick and soothing reliefs but merely addresses the issue on the burner at the peripheral and leaves the real problem unresolved. In his seminal and groundbreaking book: "7 Habits of Highly Effective People", Stephen R. Covey suggests a more enduring approach to solving any and every crisis, in life, in business and in a career that people might confront at one point or the other: confront the problem headlong through decisions (often tough) that flows from within you. HABIT 1: BE PROACTIVE Being proactive is more than taking the initiative; it means taking full responsibility for every in your life (negative, positive, past, present and future). The moment you shift the responsibility for what is happening to you to others, you have missed it. Covey established that no one owes you a...

In Sara Gran's occult thriller, "The Book of the Most Precious Substance," a rare-book dealer falls under the spell of a powerful 17th-century manuscript. In Sara Gran's sensational occult thriller, THE BOOK OF THE MOST PRECIOUS SUBSTANCE (Dreamland Books, 319 pp., paper, $18.95), the rare-book dealer Lily Albrecht is swept into a hunt for a copy of "the most precise and most effective grimoire of sex magic ever written."

Unlock your love language and romantic style, according to your zodiac sign - New York Post

Image
Could this be true love? Yes, and it might even be written in the stars! The reason I began studying astrology was because I have always been fascinated by human relationships. In the past decades, I've found that you can learn a great deal about someone's romantic style and love language by consulting the zodiac. Are you compatible with that cutie you just matched with on Tinder, your celebrity crush or your longtime partner? The stars have a lot to say. First and foremost, the most vivid view of someone's love language can be found through a full birth-chart analysis, but hey, you can still learn a lot just from their sun sign. Obviously, knowing someone's Mars sign and Venus sign gives more insight, too. Since I'm a pop culture astrologer that specializes in sex and love, let's dive right in! ARIES (MARCH 21 – APRIL 19) When it comes to dating, Aries is the zodiac sign of the conqueror! They are rul...

A New GPS for the Intimate Relationship - Psychology Today

Image
The intimacy swing—difficult and rewarding Source: Vika Kirillova/Pexels In the popular 1992 film A League of Their Own, Tom Hanks's character angrily declares, "There's no crying in baseball!" Maybe not in baseball, but without question, within the rigorous context of our intimate relationships, where the opposite frequently occurs, as upsets, including tears, are a part of the emotional terrain, and for very understandable reasons. Our most intimate partnerships are complex and difficult, and so, not surprisingly, many fail. Intimacy poses greater challenges than perhaps any other relationship, and for many of us, it is the greatest of life's challenges. The most compelling evidence of intimacy's rigor is the in-your-face, soaring divorce rate— roughly 50 percent. Ironically, even marriage counselors divorce at the same rate! And, to add irony atop irony, according to the research findings of McCoy and Aamodt, many of them do not ...

Ask A Therapist: I’m Single & I’m Embarrassed About How Lonely I Am - Refinery29

Image
One of the ways that people often read into their negative feelings and thoughts is by engaging in them with rumination. You might spend a lot of time trying to work out: Why do I feel this way? Should I be single? Should I not be? Why am I feeling bad about it? Is it bad that I'm feeling bad? We can get ourselves into a real tangle. There's a couple of techniques, aside from working on the acceptance, for when you get stuck ruminating. One is distraction, but it's not a distraction by way of avoidance: it's more diversion. It's doing something healthy in place of ruminating, which could be doing something that you enjoy. The other is breathing techniques. So if you're feeling negative thoughts and emotions rising, and you've got yourself into a mental tangle, how can you get out? Often just resetting, by focusing internally on basic things like the breath or bodily sensations, can help some people get out of that negative loop.

COMMENTARY: "Businesses and leaders able to connect with a greater purpose and legacy that their employees desire to leave behind will be the ultimate winners of the "Great Resignation."" Writing for Lessons on Leadership, a series hoping to inspire the next generation of Singaporeans through the stories of Singapore's many successful business leaders and entrepreneurs, our contributor Abel Ang shares his reflections on finding meaning in life and work after reading Mark Manson's book The Subtle Art of Not Giving A F*ck. Abel Ang is the chief executive of a medical technology company and an adjunct associate professor at Nanyang Business School. For the longest time, I refused to pick up Mark Manson's bright orange best-seller, The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck. In self-righteous indignation, I told myself that swearing in the title of the book was offensive. But after more than four years on the New York Times (NYT) bestseller list in the ...

Pitt County school board approves policy to inform parents of novel sets read - WITN

Image
PITT COUNTY, N.C. (WITN) -The Pitt County Board of Education held a special meeting Monday concerning certain books that some parents have claimed are inappropriate. One book in question is titled All American Boys ; some parents are upset their children are reading the book because it has profanities and themes they believe aren't suited for middle schoolers to read. Some of those themes include suicide, pedophilia, rape, and drug use. Monday night, Pitt County school board members presented their criteria for how they choose their books in the library and the classroom. Mason Paramore, an Ayden Middle School eighth grader, attended the meeting and expressed why he disapproved of the book being read in class. "I know that things like that go on in the world," Paramore said. "It's not something I want to read about. I don't want to read about a little girl getting raped and all the different things that are in those books." After a closed session meeting...
