Job or Business?

Job and Business are two completely different aspects to earn a living. However, when the question arises which one is better, it totally depends upon people's own perceptive. Some may think doing a job is better as it gives you a sense of security and a fixed payment on the first of every month.  Whereas, some people prefer business as there is a sense of authority while doing a business. It is not appropriate to point out one aspect to be better than the other but we can definitely analyze the pros and cons of both the aspects. Let us have a look at the pros and cons of both the aspects of making money:                                          Source: "Money" by 401(K) 2012 - Under Commercial Use Allowed License Jobs: Pros: 1)      When you have a job, you have a fixed income every month.

How to study?

How to study? This is a question that every one of us has wondered about at some stage of our life. If you are a student, you still try to find out what is the most efficient way of studying. I can totally relate to your struggle when you sit in front of your table planning to study for a few hours without any distraction before taking any rest but fail to concentrate after a maximum of 15-20 minutes. However, have you ever wondered how can we sit for long hours to study just a day or two before exams? This is because of having no other option but to study during exams. But what you should question is, is it the correct method of studying? Do we become more efficient by studying a day or two before exams? The answer is no.  So what exactly is the most efficient way of studying?                                                         ...

Why do we procrastinate?

Let us first try to understand the meaning of procrastination before we try to find out the reason behind it. Procrastination is the action of postponing or trying to avoid something. When we procrastinate we try to convince ourselves that we have a lot of time to do something which actually is very dangerous for us. It is the main reason behind not succeeding to complete a particular task in time. A person can never achieve what he wants if he keeps on procrastinating. The only thing that comes easily is laziness which is of no use. Anything that is worth achievable requires a lot of effort and hard work.                                                 Source: "Laziness" by eugeniakertanova - Under Commercial Use Allowed License So why exactly do we procrastinate?

Why do we like adventure?

Adventure is something that every human in this planet seek for. It is something which is inherent in us. We are programmed to always look for something new. We get bored easily with the same old daily routine. Therefore we try to gain new experiences. It can be as simple as trying to learn a new recipe or as complicated as trying to start a new business. We as human are not built to do the same thing everyday. We constantly strive for something new. If the strive for learning or creating something new was not there, all the discoveries and inventions that science has made would not have been possible. This strive for adventure or experiencing something new is what makes us better than other animals.                                   Source: "Sweep" by Taro Taylor  - Under Commercial Use Allowed License Humans have existed on this planet for a very long time.

Why are things funny? Analyzing the secret behind humor!

Well, this is a very tough topic to explain because different people have different perceptions about humor. What is funny to someone may not be funny to someone else. Let us try to break the code of why things are funny.                                   Source: " Emoji Balloons" by  Wicker Paradise - Under Commercial Use Allowed License There is a very famous saying by Aristotle that – “The secret to humor is surprise” which I think is the most appropriate way we can describe humor. I have listed below a few characteristics of why things are funny: 1)     #Surprise : One of the most common ways of creating something humorous is to lead the listener in a certain direction and then suddenly changing its route thereby creating the element of surprise and amusement. 2)     #Non-Threatening Violation : Something is funny when it breaks the usua...
