Psychologist Philip Zimbardo says happiness and success are rooted in a trait most of us disregard: the way we orient toward the past, present and future. He suggests we calibrate our outlook on time as a first step to improving our lives.
Optimal Mind
• Past-Positive – High
• Future – Moderately High
• Present-Hedonism – Moderate
• Past-Negative – Low
• Present-Fatalism – Low
Remember clearly all the past positive achievements in your life, have a positive mindset for the future, be in the moment and learn from your surrounding events. Notice past bad experience and use current bad issues in life only as a contrast to what you really want in life. – Rongwen

Richard St. John reminds us that success is not a one-way street, but a constant journey. He uses the story of his business’ rise and fall to illustrate a valuable lesson — when we stop trying, we fail.
This is so true. In fact, I reckon everything in life uses this principle. Career, Health, Relationships, Love. When we stop trying and doing things that will maintain or enhance our lives, in due time, we will fail. So is important, in my point of view, to continuously grow, learn, strive for. Don’t run away from problems, face it, solve it, learn something out of it. Thanks.

Cognitive researcher Nancy Etcoff looks at happiness — the ways we try to achieve and increase it, the way it’s untethered to our real circumstances, and its surprising effect on our bodies.
Everyone wants to be happy.

Behavioral Economist Dan Ariely, the author of Predictably Irrational, uses classic visual illusions and his own counter-intuitive (and sometimes shocking) research findings to show how we’re not as rational as we think when we make decisions.
LOL… Very informative and entertaining. I personally agree that most of the time, people, in general, are not aware of what constitute to our own decision making. We make choices unknowingly of why, most of the time. When asked upon why we made certain choices, we will think back and our mind will rationalise why we had chosen certain choices.
It’s fun to learn how humans react and behave intuitively. Great presentation by Dan Ariely. Thank you so much!
