  • Are Conspiracy Theories Real? Do You Believe In

    Are Conspiracy Theories Real? Do You Believe In

    There Are Truly Incredible Claims. (Conspiracy Theories)

    What Does Conspiracy Theory Mean? (Conspiracy Theories)

    A conspiracy theories are an explanation for an event or situation that invokes a conspiracy by sinister and powerful groups, often political in motivation when other explanations are more probable. (Conspiracy Theories)

    The term has a negative connotation, implying that the appeal to a conspiracy is based on prejudice or insufficient evidence.

    A conspiracy theory is not the same as a conspiracy; instead, it refers to a hypothesized conspiracy with specific characteristics, such as an opposition to the mainstream consensus among those people (such as scientists or historians) who are qualified to evaluate its accuracy. Source : Wikipedia

    Common Characteristics of Conspiracy Theories

    Conspiracy theories often contain questionable implications such as:

    Most of the time, such claims do not present concrete evidence, but instead, show the connections between the events that they deem logical as evidence.

    For example, “Germany profited from this business, so the Germans are behind this business”, etc.

    The people or institutions alleged to be involved are assumed to have extraordinary abilities.

    In conspiracy theories, it is assumed that the people behind the conspiracy are extremely intelligent and knowledgeable, as well as deceiving or persuading the weak-willed people around them when necessary.

    For example, those who spread the information that toothpaste is poisonous also claims that millions of dentists, scientists and officials around the world have been deceived.

    These “theories” use complex processes in which many events and/or people come together at the same time as if they were simple developments.

    For example, a person who says, “The Americans invented AIDS in the 1960s to control the world population,” would say that at least hundreds of American politicians, soldiers, bureaucrats and scientists would come together and have an extremely serious impact on countries with a rapidly growing population in the world, but which would not harm their own country. He claims to be making complex plans.

    It often overlooks the problems that may arise in a plan of this scale.

    Conspiracy theories suggest that many people stay silent while all this is going on.

    For example, if we believe the theory given in the previous example, millions of innocent people have died all over the world, but even one of the thousands of people who have been aware of this for years has not made a voice to the world.

    Oftentimes, conspiracy theories talk about goals such as ruling or taking over an institution, a country, and sometimes even the world.

    For example, “The rich banker family named Rothschild has been ruling the world for the last 200-odd years.”

    The inductive method is used at the most critical points of the conspiracy theories, but the deductive method is neglected.

    In other words, conspiracy theorists reach a certain conclusion by using the events they observe around, but they neglect to go back and verify the conclusion reached by deduction.

    For example, in the example we gave in the previous article, the following induction might have been made:

    1) The Rothschild family has a lot of money.
    2) The candidate with the most money wins the presidential election.
    3) It means that the Rothschild family gets the candidate they want elected president.

    If the person who proposes this theory cannot explain the same theory with the deductive method, the probability of the theory being wrong increases.

    Example,

    1) The Rothschild family gets the candidate they want elected president.
    2) Barack Obama was president.
    3) It means that the Rothschild family elected Obama as president.

    Can Conspiracy Theories Be Debunked?

    It is very difficult to refute false conspiracy theories for a number of reasons:

    First of all, as we mentioned above, many conspiracy theories start with ordinary events with a high probability of happening.

    This makes it difficult to refute the conspiracy theory by giving the impression that it is based on facts.

    For example, the main argument of those who spread the conspiracy theory that “vaccines cause autism” is Dr It is an article that Andrew Wakefield published in the medical journal The Lancet in 1998, and this article has actually been published.

    However, those who still propagate this false theory stated that later scientific experiments disproved this study, that Andrew Wakefield had a financial interest in the results of his study, that his colleagues were withdrawn as a result, that his “Doctor” title was revoked, and that the Lancet magazine pulled the article from publication. they don’t tell.

    Contrary to the example above, in some cases, the person who put forward the conspiracy theory has no direct interest in this theory.

    For this reason, those who listen to the allegations do not suspect the intention of the person making the theory, which makes the conspiracy theory more convincing.

  • Is The World Really Flat ?

    Is The World Really Flat ?

    When Columbus Was Alive, People Thought The World Was Flat. (World Really Flat)

    Humanity has known for several centuries that the Earth is round. (World Really Flat)

    The “Flat Earth Society”, which emerged in recent years, states that the Earth is flat as it was believed in the past.

    It sounds absurd to dismiss this theory, proven in the New Age when the church almost ruled the world as if it didn’t exist in the 21st century.

    “When Columbus was alive, people thought the world was flat.

    They thought the Atlantic Ocean was full of monsters big enough to swallow ships, and that there was a waterfall at the end of the world.

    Columbus had to contend with these thoughts to gather the crew.

    She was sure the earth wasn’t flat” — Emma Miller Bolenius

    This “I wonder if the world is flat?” In response to the question, I wrote down the reasons known as proof that the earth is not flat.

    1- Moon

    Even in ancient Greece, studies were made that the Earth was round, and all of these researches were based on the shapes of the Moon.

    The eclipse, which occurs as a result of the constantly moving Earth and Moon aligning around the Sun, is one of the biggest proofs that the Earth is not flat.

    2- Ships and the horizon line

    Ships and the Horizon line, one of the situations you might notice when you’re near a port or lying on a beach, are further proof that the world isn’t flat.

    You can see a ship disappearing on the Horizon until only a high mast appears of a ship moving away from you.

    3- Shadows

    If you stick a pole into the ground, it casts a shadow on itself.

    Shadows that change over time are proof that the Earth is round.

    If the Earth were flat, the shadows would remain constant.

    4- Increased viewing angle when going up

    If you go to a plain, keep your eyes on the horizon and notice what you see.

    Then climb a nearby tree (the higher the better) and look at the horizon again.

    You will see your field of view expand noticeably.

    5- Get on the Plane

    If you have gone on a long journey between countries and the plane’s ground clearance has reached its limit, it means that a beautiful view awaits you when you look out the window.

    6- Time differences

    The time differences are proof that the Earth is a cute planet orbiting the sun.

    While it is morning on the light side of the earth, it is a night on the dark side. That’s why there are time differences.

    7-Taking an example from other planets

    Although it is probably one of the simplest substances, one of the most logical is to take samples from other planets.

    Don’t you think it’s absurd to say that other planets in the solar system are round and call our own planet flat?

  • 5 Important E-Mail Mistakes Successful People Never Do

    5 Important E-Mail Mistakes Successful People Never Do

    Some people are not in the habit of replying to emails (E-Mail Mistakes)

    Throughout history, writing has not been a part of people’s daily lives. (E-Mail Mistakes)

    Those who had to write were bureaucrats working in government offices, scientists and men of letters.

    Even writing letters was not something one did very often.

    Today, almost everyone has to write every day, whether it’s a message (WhatsApp, Messenger, beep, text message) or e-mail.

    Especially young people talk less and text more on their mobile phones.

    In the past, most senior managers in the workplace communicate in writing.

    He has his letters prepared by his secretaries; After making the corrections, they would send them to their addressees.

    Now everyone, except blue-collar workers, has to write dozens of e-mails every day.

    However, neither in schools nor in workplaces, no one is given comprehensive information about how written communication should be.

    Everyone is learning from each other, but no one really knows what is supposed to happen.

    I care very much that people use the language they speak and write well.

    I envy people who write well and express themselves well.

    I believe that the way people express themselves in speaking and writing gives important clues about their identity and personality.

    Based on this thought, I created a list such as a message and e-mail writing rules.

    ➡️ Whether a person responds to a message or e-mail sent to them is an indicator of their personality and culture.

    Some people are not in the habit of replying to emails. This, in my opinion, is both rude and arrogant behaviour.

    Personally, I consider it an obligation to respond to all e-mails sent to me, except those with meaningless requests, and try to answer all of them.

    ➡️ Not everything is explained by email or text.

    Some important issues, bad news, require a face-to-face conversation.

    In recent years, we have even witnessed large companies laying off their assistant general managers by texting.

    ➡️ Significant illnesses of people you care about, the loss of a loved one, an extraordinary success, not by e-mail or message.

    These are the situations that should be shared by talking on the phone or even by visiting if possible.

    ➡️ It is disrespectful to forward an e-mail chain consisting of dozens of previous correspondences to a person who does not know the details of the subject and to force this person to read all this information regarding the past.

    ➡️ It is not correct to attach unnecessary files to e-mails. The fact that the sent files are relevant and as small in size as possible prevents both the sender and the receiver from wasting time.

    The information of what the attached file contains must be written in the e-mail.

    Dozens more could be added to all these rules. These are the ones I care about. Of course, there are some I forgot.

    What are your suggestions, please share them with us as a comment.

  • How To Stop Postponing And Get Work Done

    How To Stop Postponing And Get Work Done

    Postponing is to miss out on life. (Stop Postponing)

    Psychologists agree that “procrastination” has deeper causes than meets the eye.(Stop Postponing)

    Many behavioural scientists point out that the root cause of procrastination is childhood.

    He says that the oppressive and harsh behaviour of the parents prevents the child from doing his duties willingly.

    The child, who is treated harshly, reacts by behaving “as if he is doing it”, “hanging around”, “hanging around”, and “taking it slow”.

    Managers in the workplace have a similar effect on employees.

    Instead of values ​​and principles, managers who want to discipline, judge and blame by intimidating cause employees to postpone their work.

    In business environments where such a culture is dominant, employees exhibit procrastination behaviour, which they know very well from their childhood, and they begin to act as if they are doing the work rather than doing it.

    Postponing or procrastinating is one of the most important issues that threaten not only individual but also corporate performance.

    The job stress that comes with increased competition increases the performance anxiety of both employees and managers.

    The procrastination “illness” that threatens business life causes companies to waste their potential.

    Although procrastination provides relief and pleasure at first, it creates stress, anxiety and restlessness in the long run.

    Every job that is postponed inevitably creates a feeling of guilt and inadequacy.

    Once procrastination begins, it quickly becomes chronic.

    One soon becomes adept at producing “justifiable reasons” for procrastination.

    There can be many reasons behind the procrastination tendency. Researching this subject at the University of Calgary, Dr Piers Steel lists some of these reasons as follows:

    ➡️ If a job does not make sense to us, we find it difficult to find sufficient motivation to start that job.

    ➡️ If we do not like the work to be done, if we do not find it interesting, if we find the work boring, we may prefer to postpone the work.

    ➡️ Many studies reveal that perfectionists resort to procrastination more frequently.

    ➡️ Unrealistic expectations are discouraging. Perfectionism triggers procrastination.

    ➡️ Not knowing where to start, unclear workflow, and not being able to visualize the whole process in one’s mind cause delays.

    Lack of planning justifies procrastination.

    ➡️ If our self-confidence is insufficient and we think that others will judge us negatively, we tend to delay instead of starting work, and we think that we are also delaying possible failure.

    ➡️ If we do not know exactly what is expected of us, if the objectives of the business are not clear, it may seem more “rational” to do nothing instead of starting the business.

    ➡️ The less communication and feedback in an environment, the more people tend to procrastinate.

    ➡️ If the knowledge and skills we have are not sufficient for the tasks we undertake, if we do not have the necessary equipment and knowledge to carry out the tasks in question, we delay the decisions that need to be taken and postpone the work.

    ➡️ Instead of admitting our lack of knowledge and skills in a field, postponing that work -even for a short time- can make us feel better.

    ➡️ Procrastination is also closely related to indecision. If we are a person who has trouble making decisions and having trouble making choices, we can convince ourselves that it is better to procrastinate.

    ➡️ Difficulty in making a decision can be a personal as well as an institutional problem.

    If a company’s management staff cannot make a decision for one reason or another, procrastination is a very common method in that company.

    Suspending decision making and procrastinating is a much more serious problem than innocent laziness.

    We have to deal with this problem and keep ourselves away from the complacency of procrastination.

    We should all strive to foster a “culture of urgency” rather than “procrastination.”

    We have no resources to replace the time lost by procrastination.

    “To procrastinate is to miss out on life.”

  • Future Anxiety – How To Forget Past And Look To The Future Without Worry

    Future Anxiety – How To Forget Past And Look To The Future Without Worry

    Let’s get rid of the past first. (Future Anxiety)

    Those who can’t get rid of the past have relapsed and can’t make any progress by wasting their energies. (Future Anxiety)

    We must accept that we cannot change the past whether we want to or not.

    Being passive about the past, accepting and making an effort is much more beneficial.

    We cannot change past events, but we can only change their emotional effects.

    “That was it that day.”, “My potential in the conditions of that day allowed me to do it.”

    We should think like “But today I wouldn’t do it this way”, “I won’t let” or “I will”.

    If we can’t get rid of the past, we have regrets and guilt.

    We have wishes. There are thoughts that we devalue ourselves.

    If we get rid of them, we will look ahead.

    In fact, we can’t see current positive experiences because of past perceptions. While many things are happening that we will feel valuable right now.

    If everything is going well in your life and you cannot enjoy yourself, you know that your mind is stuck in the past.

    Often this indicates depression.

    To focus on the present, we must first get rid of the thoughts of the past.

    We need to accept this and not blame ourselves.

    We talked about the past, now let’s talk about the future.

    If the past creates sadness, thinking about the future creates a state of constant anxiety.

    Thoughts such as “What will happen”, “How will it be”, and “Why, is it going to be bad” take us away from that moment. It also leads to fiction about the future.

    When this happens, anxiety becomes the source of unhappiness and malaise after a while.

    But, trying to predict something about the future is a hypothesis, not real knowledge.

    Underneath this, there is the desire to predict the future and take precautions.

    So why? Because we think What will I do if there is a situation in the future that you do not want or cannot cope with? The idea is “I’d better reduce the risk now and prevent it before it reaches that stage”.

    The person who thinks this way has a state of inability to cope and intolerance.

    So How Do We Beat This?

    * I don’t need to fight the danger that I have created on a future issue right now.

    * I should not sacrifice my day for a danger that may arise one day in the future.

    * I don’t think much about the future, it doesn’t mean that I do something for it.

    * If I live my day well and instantly, I will also solve the problems that arise when necessary.

    * Instead of dealing with knowing the future, I can live today and prepare for the future.

    * Continually worrying about the future and generating thoughts about the future keeps our minds busy.

    This situation disconnects us from the environment we are in and prevents us from living the moment.

    * I need to focus more on the environment and the environment I am in so that my mind remains empty.

    * The thought that something bad will happen in the future is just a way of thinking that I learned from my environment.

    Long or Quality Life – The Bloody Period Started With These Losses

    You realize what needs to be experienced when you experience it.

    Of course, you may encounter some problems related to yourself and your environment in childhood and middle age.

    You can only observe that you have entered a difficult process with what you see, perceive and experience in the third act of the theatre.

    Childhood Life Is Like A Fairytale Land

    The little joys of childhood, the feeling of being happy with very little things, the presence of your loved ones around you, and the most beautiful child’s health make the world look much more beautiful to you.

    If you grow up in a sensitive environment, your relationships with events and the world are colourful.

    Your life is like a fairy tale land with a different beauty in every part of it.

    The Third Act Opens with Losses

    Adolescence is the period of meeting with the responsibilities of life and its sorrows gradually.

    There are loves, sometimes ending in despair, that make your neck bow down.

    You may perceive your environment and your family differently.

    Because your child’s eyes have started to change, the child’s faces around you have disappeared.

    Longevity But Healthy

    I experienced these in the death of my grandmother and grandfather.

    The bloody period for me started with these losses.

    Both my grandmother and grandfather had become dependent on someone in the last stages of their illness.

    Their quality of life was declining.

    They were getting support from others even to walk from place to place.

    I was observing how heavy this way of life was for them.

    I could see in their eyes that they thought death was better.

    Their mental health was just right.

    But the bodies were tired, battered by disease.

    The life that both of them could continue in need of others was a process they could not accept.

    Mental Health Is Most Important

    In that respect, wishing for a long life becomes meaningful when health comes with it.

    We know how big storms break out when we see thousands of dramas of patients and often feel their pain, breathing difficulties, and what they experience when they cannot even drink a glass of water.

    It should be well known that every person needs love.

    But the sick ones are much more.

    Long-life that includes quality life.

  • How To Boost Your Success With Easy Methods

    How To Boost Your Success With Easy Methods

    Boost Your Life Success – The definition of success may vary from person to person in line with life and career values.

    Success in business life; While working in the position he/she wants in line with his/her target, for some it may be to get the target wage.

    In this sense, there can be many successful people.

    In business life, the definition of success is used for those who do their job well, properly and ethically.

    What I have observed both in my own business environment and among my clients, those who love their job and do not only aim for financial gain achieve success.

    By the way, do not think that you will always stay on top, this is not certain in life. You have to insure yourself.

    “WHAT YOU DO, DO WITH LOVE”

    Doing your job with passion allows you to enjoy it.

    You should be the party that creates the solution, not the party that creates the problem.

    Even if you don’t like your job very much, it’s up to you to find reasons to love it.

    Playing Polyana can sometimes make your work life more bearable.

    You should try to be positive and make positive statements.

    KNOW YOURSELF; SET YOUR GOAL FOR SUCCESS, SHARE YOUR COURSE

    In order to set a goal, you must first know yourself, your strength and your soft side.

    You have to determine what you can do, your wishes, your expectations from life, your obstacles and your values.

    You should set a realistic goal based on the details you have determined.

    For example, in a larger company, you may have a goal of being a middle manager in x-y-z details in 5 years.

    I HAVE THE POWER NOW!!! FOCUS ON YOUR STRENGTHS

    While discovering yourself, the most important thing is to determine your internal resources in order to achieve your goal, which is your goal, and to determine what you will do to improve the missing ones as an intermediate goal.

    After all, we all have different characteristics.

    The important thing is that we know what is necessary for our job and focus on it.

    Taking part in projects-tasks where you will use your strengths accelerates reaching your goal.

    IDENTIFY YOUR OBSTACLES AND REMOVE….

    “I don’t think about how to be successful at a job. I think about what would hinder it. Once I remove the obstacles, the work will go by itself.”
    Mustafa Kemal Atatürk

    One way to achieve success is to remove obstacles.

    As long as you know what the obstacle is.

    For example, your perfectionist personality may be preventing you from taking quick action.

    LOOKING FOR THE LAST TIME

    Don’t wait to act, it’s the doer, not the thinker, who wins.

    Take action.

    We can’t buy time, can we?

    Not as limitless as the imagination.
    Plan your time well.
    Time = Cash
    Plan your day, week and month.

    TRUST YOUR HUNCHES

    Intuitions supported by experience are valuable and guide.

    You may hear voices about the decisions you will make, the projects you will do about the business or your customers.

  • Why Some People Are Happier Than Other People

    Why Some People Are Happier Than Other People

    Happiness Does Not Equal Pleasure – People Are Happier

    People Are Happier – Like intelligence, weight, and wealth, the level of happiness also varies from person to person.

    Yes, some people are happier, some are unhappy. There could be many reasons for this.

    Mostly when we ask happy people why they are happy, they cannot give an obvious answer.

    They say, “I don’t know, I just am”.

    We can describe such people as “happy for no reason”.

    But thousands of studies on large groups enlighten us why some people are happier than others.

    But first, it would be appropriate to define the concept of happiness. In Wilhelm Schmid’s words, “happiness is not a state of uninterrupted pleasantness, constant joy, good fun and lots of fun”.

    So happiness does not equal pleasure.

    Happiness is a character state and refers to being satisfied with life, experiencing positive emotions more often, and experiencing negative emotions less often.

    Happiness, as Tal-Ben Sahahar defines it, is “living life meaningfully by enjoying it.”

    Once we’ve clarified what happiness is, we can look at why some people are happier.

    Happiness and Genetics

    Ask someone who looks physically healthy and fit, “Why are you in shape? How do you maintain your weight?” ask a happy person, “Why are you happy?

    Asking what do you do to be happy is very similar.
    The fit person may say, I don’t know, I’ve been like this for as long as I can remember, I do nothing special, I guess my metabolism works fast.

    He really isn’t doing anything special, and he may even have some harmful habits and things they’re doing wrong.

    Nevertheless, these people are in shape.

    They look very fit and strong. Genetic inheritance can explain the condition of these people.

    In other words, genetically inborn, some people’s metabolisms may work faster, they may be more physically fit and they may feel stronger in terms of physical health.

    However, this does not mean that they will never feel physically inadequate.

    We Are Not Captives of Genetics

    The same is true for happiness. Some people are inherently advantageous and feel happy even when they’re not doing anything special.

    This situation can be explained by genetic factors, just as in physical well-being.

    Such people’s bodies may be more balanced and produce higher levels of happy hormones or chemicals. But you may be thinking that this is unfair.

    Yes, some people may be more disadvantaged from birth, but we are not entirely a prisoner of genetics.

    Alright then Lets find the answer ;

    Why are some people happier?

    • Happy people have higher levels of self-esteem (self-worth, self-esteem). They are content with themselves. They enjoy being who they are.
    • Happy people have high levels of self-compassion. In other words, they are compassionate and understanding to themselves as well as to others. They do not criticize themselves ruthlessly and disproportionately.
    • Happy people have higher self-confidence. They are self-confident in many ways.
    • Happy people also have higher levels of hope and optimism. Their prospects for the future are more positive. They show less pessimism.
    • Happy people are more extroverted. They like to socialize. They experience less loneliness.
    • Happy people have a higher perceived level of social support. There are enough people around them who care about them.

  • Personal Growth – Checklist and Stages For Starting

    Personal Growth – Checklist and Stages For Starting

    Self-Improvement Doesn’t Work, If You Don’t Follow Those Recommendations – Personal Growth

    Personal Growth – The measure of everything is people.

    All people want to know. They want to be able to exist.

    The goal is not to live! It is a life of its own.

    What makes man virtuous is wisdom, temperance, and courage.

    Wisdom means a solid understanding of the causes of everything that happens, and a deep perspective and reflection on the meaning of life.

    People should come to themselves rather than know themselves.

    Every person is unique. They are special. They are single. Therefore, there is no universal way.

    Where the road will take them on this journey is entirely up to the individual. It starts with inner change.

    Mental change, bodily change. It continues as environmental change.

    Before forgetting, know that you are only human!

    1. KNOW YOURSELF FIRST

    People analyze themselves.

    They begin to think about their strengths and weaknesses.

    Conduct your thoughts on moral and ethical understanding.

    Be on the side of justice, equality, and virtue, which is the spiritual maturity of a man.

    Knowing yourself allows you to understand yourself better, learn more about your needs, and decide if you want to achieve more.

    Developing your knowledge and skills is the beginning of where to start.

    2. COMPARISON

    When you understand yourself, you start comparing yourself to others.

    You want to know those who are better than you.

    Do not cross the fine line when comparing. Jealousy and envy are two different things!

    Jealousy is activated when success is seen in someone else.

    As children, we all want to be heroes of our dreams. We care.

    If you want to learn the secret of the person you model, you should make a comparison.

    You can synthesize new skills from other people or from the universe.

    First, compare yourself to yourself.

    Identify weak spots. study. Become a better person.

    3. CHANGE

    To run in a marathon, you have to exercise.

    If you want to do boxing, you need to train your muscles.

    Even the thought that we must change our lives for the better initiates change.

    It doesn’t matter why you want to change.

    Whatever your inspiration, it’s always good to change for the better.

    4. ACCEPTANCE

    You have reviewed your life. You identified the weaknesses. You made a comparison.

    You have decided to change. It’s time to accept.

    Accept what is before you blame yourself for why you are the way it is.

    Make peace with yourself, forgive and move on to a new phase. Don’t blame, just accept.

    5. PLANNING; TARGET; PURPOSE

    Set short and long term goals.

    Make a plan, set a goal. Get a roadmap. Keep target forms.

    Planning is a crucial analysis and allows you to see your progress.

    6. REACHING YOUR POTENTIAL

    You will make concessions when you go down this road.

    Your comfort will be disturbed.

    You will experience problems of failure, inadequacy, worthlessness, and self-confidence.

    You will experience anxiety and fear. You will face the pressure of Time, Family, Environment. You will learn to be patient.

    In short, you will push all your limits. Why is that? For a better YOU. For the goal you set.

    Remember the difference You wanted everything else doesn’t want you to want it.

    It’s time to fight.

    7. PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT AND GROWTH

    If you meet all the above criteria,

    If you continue to develop goals, you will have chosen the most ideal life for yourself.

    You will be happy and peaceful,
    You will be strong and fair,
    You will be at peace and full of gratitude,
    You become Loving and Beloved

    In short, you are…..

  • “NO” Most Difficult Word To Say But “WHY”

    “NO” Most Difficult Word To Say But “WHY”

    Saying “No” Requires Strong Will – Most Difficult Word

    Most Difficult Word – Why people can’t say no?
    Why do they accept certain things even if they don’t want to?

    The word “NO” is actually a very easy word to say. But for some reason, we know too many people around us who can’t say “NO”.

    Now let’s come to our main topic and examine why we can’t say no.

    For example, why didn’t our family say “NO” to us? For good or not to hurt us?

    Are they showing kindness or torturing themselves?

    People become even more unhappy by being forced to do things they don’t want to do, rather than not being able to do the things they want to do.

    Maybe you can’t do what you want to do, the reason is quite simple, Maybe it is impossible.

    There could be many reasons for this impossibility.

    • Economic reasons
    • We don’t have time
    • Or It could be anything.

    This is acceptable because it is common in life.

    But if we do something we don’t want to do, there is no remedy.

    Yes, It has happened and we cannot go back and change it.

    I think it is also a subjective concept and it is not mentioned in regret.

    Many people often regret things they didn’t do.

    When someone asks you for something, you don’t have to do it.

    Saying “No” Requires Strong Will

    When people around us make demands, we may be undecided whether to meet that demand or not.

    If we state that the demand cannot be met, we worry that the relationship will be damaged.

    We may think that the people surrounding us will only continue to communicate with us when we meet their demands and that the relationship may end if we do not meet the demand and say no.

    The concern of weakening the bond with people is a major concern, especially for people with a dependent structure.

    They have to make concessions by always saying yes in order to maintain the bond.

    Afterwards, they are very sad because of the victimization they experienced, but they cannot get rid of this cycle.

    Not being able to say “NO” is not a disease, it is a structural problem

    Not being able to say “no” is not a disease; It is a structural problem. If it was a disease, it could be eradicated with drug treatment.

    It is a problem that occurs in addicted people. It can also be among the symptoms of depression.

    People with depression have a loss of initiative. They can be easily manipulated.

    Cell phone scammers can easily ensnare addicted and depressed people.

    Fears can be aroused by some threats, and he can be made to fit into the dwellings as if he were hypnotized.

    5 suggestions for those who can’t say “NO”

    1. You should listen to what your impulses (your soul) are saying.

    2. You should listen to what your logic and conscience say.

    3. You have to listen to what the outside world is saying.

    4. After hearing all these voices, you should make the right decision and implement it with your will.

    5. If your decision is no and you feel great distress, you should seek help from a psychiatrist. “

  • Money Bring Happiness or Not, What Do You Think?

    Money Bring Happiness or Not, What Do You Think?

    Importance Of Money In Our Life – Money Bring Happiness or Not

    Money Bring Happiness or Not , Many experts who examine economic developments say that sustained economic growth should not be a political goal, especially in developed countries.

    For example, In a study conducted in Germany, The majority of the participants stated that they found the efforts to “think and plan for the future” exaggerated and that more attention should be given to the present and themselves.

    This is because happiness and well-being are different concepts.

    For example, the result of economic development and inventions in medical research provides a more prosperous society, but this does not have much effect on the happiness of individuals.

    Happiness Measurement

    This point brings to the minds of the readers how to measure such an abstract subject as happiness.

    For example, typical questions in a study measuring happiness are:

    • All things considered, how satisfied are you with your life these days?

    • I believe that a good life awaits me in the future

    • I trust the people I meet and approach them in a friendly way.

    • I believe that when I get older, I will look younger than my age.

    It has been observed that the answers given to such questions are consistent with people’s lifetimes and their friends’ evaluations of these people.

    Positive self-evaluations are associated with behaviours that are seen as a sign of psychological health.

    For example, those who say they are satisfied with themselves and their lives are most likely to be known as helpful people around them and show fewer signs of psychosomatic illness.

    According to psychologists, what motivates people is not being happy, but being willing to engage in behaviours that will yield successful results in life.

    For example, working for promotion or being successful creates such a relationship between “effort and reward”, so the person feels happy.

    Meanwhile, the person goes to his job with love and says that he loves himself, his life and his job.

    Life Satisfaction Score

    As I mentioned above, people’s life satisfaction scores remain fairly constant throughout their lives.

    While certain events occur, this satisfaction level makes dramatic changes in positive and negative ways, but after a while, individuals return to their own satisfaction level lines.

    Events such as falling in love, getting married, winning a big prize in the lottery carry this line upwards; Being abandoned, divorced, and being fired all drag down.

    However, people with high life satisfaction scores return to their pre-accident satisfaction levels by adapting to their new situation after a few months, even if they lose an important organ such as an arm and leg in a heavy traffic accident.

    The first of the two extreme examples to be given on this subject is the book “Man’s Search for Meaning”, which tells how V. Frankl, who has entered the world literature, managed to live in the isolation camp in the Second World War.

    The second is the film “Living is Beautiful”, which won an award for its director.

    In this movie, the story of a father and son in an isolation camp is told.

    It is based on the principle that the father shows all the practices in the camp to his son as a game.

    The results obtained from these observations and studies reveal that social welfare cannot be based on individuals’ subjective perceptions of happiness and contentment.

    People adapt rapidly to positive and negative new conditions, and they make a comment according to their attitudes that emerge in the extension of the motivational systems of their own brains.

    On the other hand, those who say that the happiness of societies does not depend on economic development have an important approach.

    Accordingly, the future of the planet we live on is at stake.

    As a result of increasing prosperity, the increase in the emission of carbon and other toxic gases poses a threat to the Earth, but playing the violin which are other reflections of prosperity, do not pose such a threat.

    This shows how versatile the subject is.

    Of course, money does not directly bring happiness.

    But having enough money makes life easier and gives us the comfort of having others do things we don’t like.

    As one thinker said, “A problem that can be solved with a check is not a real problem”.

    Money is a tool to make life easier and raise the standard. Happiness, on the other hand, is a perception shaped by having a positive attitude towards life.
