Best ways to get rich quick

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Everyone wants to build a career they love, one that puts their talents to their highest and best use while achieving their professional goals. But somewhere along the way, you start to drift off course. You’re plenty busy but have the sneaking suspicion you’re not making progress, so you make a mental note to do something about it. It’s easy to get wrapped up in your day-to-day happenings, blindly going through the motions of your professional world. And if you’re not careful, days, months, or even years will go by, and you’ll find yourself wondering how you strayed so far from your professional aspirations. Great careers don’t happen by accident; they’re built with intention. Here are the three best ways to thoughtfully curate yours: 1. Get clarity You can’t create a meaningful career if you don’t know what you want. Clarity is all about focus. Without clarity, you’ll forever spin your professional wheels, … [Read more...] about The 3 Best Ways To Thoughtfully Curate A Career With Intention

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin A recent article in The Atlantic claims that America’s fever of workaholism is finally breaking for the rich, who are buying more free time. Unfortunately, that’s not the case for the average American worker. Now that remote and hybrid work are becoming the new normal, employees face new challenges along with the advantages. Chronic work stress no longer exists solely in the office. In one study , 48% of remote workers said they were struggling to disconnect from work, burning the midnight oil. This trend has led to nearly half of the workforce feeling burned out—conditions detrimental to productivity and job satisfaction. If you work at home, you’re in your personal space, not your usual professional environment, with your personal and professional worlds under one roof. The upside is you have greater flexibility, but the downside is your personal life can bleed into your workday. Laundry needs to be done, dishes … [Read more...] about 10 Ways Remote Workers Can Find Work-Life Balance In 2023

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin The battle for the bronze on all-time box office charts heats up this weekend, as Avatar: The Way of Water has one last chance to surge ahead of Titanic before that film sets sail again on a 25th anniversary voyage in one week. But unless it overperforms and defies the odds yet again, James Cameron’s blockbuster Avatar sequel won’t sink Titanic as the third-highest grossing film in cinema history. At least, not without a re-release of its own. As of Friday morning, Avatar: The Way of Water needed about $64 million to top Titanic . This weekend, I expect The Way of Water t0 sail toward $8-10 million stateside and around $30+/- million internationally, so conservatively call it $35-40 million, cutting the distance between Avatar 2 and Titanic to somewhere between $20-30 million. But if The Way of Water exceeds my estimates this weekend (and it’s been defying predictions all along), then the Avatar … [Read more...] about ‘Avatar’ Sequel Won’t Sink ‘Titanic’ As 3rd Highest Grossing Film

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Maybe it was the opportunity for so many in the music industry to comfortably share the same room again. Maybe it was the soul-stirring beats. Or maybe it was just the infectious exuberance of the two men who've been embodying the term bromance since long before bromance was a thing. Whatever the case, the celebration of Motown founder Berry Gordy and legendary Motown songwriter and artist Smokey Robinson—who share one of the most aspirational friendships in entertainment history—as MusiCares Persons of the Year was a joyous affair. Smiles were abundant throughout the room, though none more bright than those emanating from the two honorees themselves. The event, held February 3 at the Los Angeles Convention Center, marked the first time the annual Grammy weekend gala to benefit the Recording Academy’s philanthropic arm feted two music luminaries at once. The dynamic duo brought out both Motown family members—Stevie … [Read more...] about Pre-Grammys MusiCares Gala Goes Motown

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin For many employees, the ongoing layoff season can be an overwhelming experience. As we have recently seen with the news about Google employees , layoffs can cause significant stress and anxiety not only for those laid off but also those who survive the purge. For instance, Google employees were left feeling anxious about their own job security after a move that saw approximately 6% of Alphabet Inc.’s full-time personnel laid off, including some high performers and those on immigration permits. The lack of “psychological safety,” according to one employee, raised concerns. Employees questioned how they were expected to feel safe again. This seems to be a universal feeling. As a psychologist, I have seen an uptick in people coming to therapy with questions like: “How can I deal with the emotions of surviving a layoff in my high-pressure work environment?” “How can I regain my confidence and feel secure in … [Read more...] about How To Keep Your Anxiety In Check After Surviving A Brutal Layoff Season

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Multiple leaks claim Apple’s new iPhone 14 range is getting more expensive, and fans are braced for significant price increases on iPhone 14 Pro models . But what if they are wrong? In a wide-ranging new blog post, citing sources with final iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro production devices, leaker yeux1122 claims “prices may be in a completely different direction than expected.” Shocking as this may seem at this late stage, yeux1122 has a history of going against the tide and being right. While yeux1122 doesn’t expand on this, “a completely different direction than expected” indicates prices are going down, not up. And there is evidence to support this. Pricing for last year’s iPhone 13 started at $799, and the iPhone 14 will use the same chassis, rear cameras, display and chipset. Yes, global inflation is running high, but phone parts tend to drop like a stone once they are no longer cutting edge. This is why Apple … [Read more...] about Late Apple Leak Pours Cold Water On iPhone 14 Price Rises

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin There’s a dizzying amount of activity going on in some states and school districts, spurred by the push to bring classroom practice in line with the “science of reading.” But not all of that activity translates into better reading instruction. Some teachers are being required to take rigorous courses that ask them to re-examine and abandon deeply held beliefs about how children learn to read. Even if they become convinced that change is needed—that is, they have the why— they may not be equipped to put their new understanding into practice. Other teachers are simply being asked to follow a radically different kind of literacy curriculum. They have the what— the instructional materials. But they may not understand why change is necessary. That could lead them to depart from the new curriculum or implement it in a way that doesn’t work. Even if teachers have both the why and the what , a radical shift in … [Read more...] about Teachers Need The Why, The What, And The How For Change To Happen

Indian vulture population in the country has declined, from 40 million to 19,000. (Photo by Shantanu Kuveskar via Wikimedia Commons) There was a time when the Great Indian Bustard (GIB) was in the running to become our National Bird. Its range extended all across western India - the Thar Desert and Deccan Plateau being its strongholds. Wildlife experts and enthusiasts recount spotting groups of up to 20 GIBs at a time in the dry grasslands. Rampant poaching, disturbance at breeding sites and loss of habitat have, however, reduced its numbers to 150 in the country (as of 2018). The critically endangered species could go extinct within 20 years, according to estimates by ornithologists. Unfortunately, it isn’t the only bird going the way of the Dodo. The fifth edition of the flagship science publication State of the World’s Birds, released last week, has declared that nearly half of the planet’s bird species are in decline. Painting a grim picture, it states that at least 187 … [Read more...] about Why the next decade is crucial for bird conservation in India

Alienware is a brand synonymous with gaming. The company is renowned for its over-the-top approach in gaming desktops and laptops, not to mention their unique aesthetics. However, the Alienware X15 laptop arrives in a new world, where manufacturers are looking to slim down and deviate from the traditional chunky gaming laptop designs. With the X15 R2, Alienware accomplishes this by offering a powerful gaming laptop in a thin and light design. I never got around to testing the Alienware X15 R1, so this is my first experience with Alienware’s slimmest gaming laptop series. But just how much has Alienware had to compromise to deliver a powerful gaming laptop in this slim chassis, let’s find out! Design and Build First off, it is nice to say that despite the slim form factor, Alienware has retained its traditional futuristic design on the X15 R2. The notebook is offered in a Lunar Light dual colour scheme, which tends to stand out from the matte black crowd. The off-white lid … [Read more...] about Alienware X15 R2 Review: A premium yet portable gaming laptop that packs a powerful punch

Representative Image Japanese electronics and entertainment conglomerate Sony Group Corp said on Tuesday it has the technology to make humanoid robots quickly once it has identified how they could be effectively used. "In terms of technology, several companies in the world including this one have enough technology accumulated to make them swiftly once it becomes clear which usage is promising," Sony Chief Technology Officer Hiroaki Kitano told Reuters in an interview. "The key is the development of application," Kitano said. Sony launched a robot dog called Aibo more than two decades ago. It sold about 150,000 units of Aibo from 1999 until 2006 and launched an advanced version in 2018, selling about 20,000 units in the first six months. Humanoid robots have been in development for decades by Honda Motor Co and Hyundai Motor Co and in September, Tesla Chief Executive Elon Musk showed off a prototype of its humanoid robot Optimus.
