Jeff Bezos Says 10 Choices Lead to a Life Without Regrets

Amazon founder Jeff Bezos is widely respected for a number of qualities. Patiently building a company with a juggernaut of a flywheel. Turning an internal initiative into Amazon Web Services, a subsidiary that rakes in over $17.4 billion in revenue. Knowing how to hire the right people. Making smart expansion decisions.

In short, for being unusually smart.

But, as Bezos learned as a 10-year-old during a road trip with his grandparents, intelligence alone won’t make you successful — or help you live a life you’ll look back on with few regrets.

According to Bezos, cleverness is a gift. “You can seduce yourself with your gifts if you’re not careful,” Bezos said to Princeton graduates in 2010, “and if you do, it’ll probably be to the detriment of your choices.”

Divorce Lawyers Know Why Relationships Fail. Here’s Their Dating Advice.

Divorce lawyers have seen it all.

With an average of nearly 2,000 divorces a day in the US, those practicing family law have witnessed every possible way a marriage can dissolve. Ask a divorce lawyer about some of their most memorable cases, as I did, and you’ll hear stories that will make you want to delete every dating app off your phone.

There was the woman who hadn’t seen her husband’s home before they got married and found out after the wedding that he was a hoarder. There was the couple who froze embryos together with the plan to put off having children until they were married, only for the husband to leave his wife for another woman shortly before her 40th birthday and demand that the remaining embryos be destroyed. Or the mom who believed herself to be a vampire and who slept in a coffin every night, and her ex-husband had to file for emergency custody. Another woman ran over her soon-to-be-ex spouse with her car, putting him in the hospital for two days, and when asked to explain her reasoning, she responded simply that she hated him.

Leaving a bad marriage is a positive thing (just ask Nicole Kidman), but going through a divorce is something most people would like to avoid. It’s expensive (one Forbes article estimates the average cost is between $15,000 and $20,000, though they can often run into six figures). It’s stressful (one study found higher blood pressure in the recently divorced). It can bring out the worst in people. It would be perfectly understandable that those in the business of observing the end of love would caution people away from it altogether.

And yet, love persists. People continue to get married and remarried (including 58% of divorced people in the US). For many, the risk is still worth it.

So BuzzFeed News reached out to some of the top divorce lawyers for dating tips. This is not legal advice, and it’s also not a guarantee of a happily ever after; humans are always going to be messy. But it may be a useful framework for avoiding some of the most common conflicts down the line.

7 Smart Phrases People With High Emotional Intelligence Keep Saying Over and Over, and Why

Leave a comment

Click the link below the picture

.

Personally, I’m more likely to do things if they’re easy. That’s why I’m a big fan of the simplest emotional intelligence-improving idea I’ve ever come across: memorizing specific words and phrases that leverage emotions in positive ways to make it more likely you’ll achieve your goals.  

Over time, these phrases become second-nature, and you begin to notice why they work. 

It’s sort of like learning phrases in a foreign language phonetically, only to realize after using them for a while that you better understand what they actually mean and how to spell them.

Enough preamble, let’s dive in. Here are seven smart, simple, specific things that people with high emotional intelligence learn to say reflexively, over and over.  (see article)

See Jupiter as it makes closest approach to Earth in 59 years

Leave a comment

The biggest planet in the solar system is outshining every star in the night sky, and later this month, it will do something that hasn’t happened since JFK was president.

The best nights of all of 2022 to see Jupiter in the night sky are about to take place as the planet takes center stage in the night sky, a showing unlike any other in nearly six decades.

The sun, Earth, and Jupiter will nearly align perfectly in the solar system on Monday, Sept. 26, during an event that happens once every 13 months called the Jupiter opposition. This is also around the same time that the gas giant is closest to the Earth.

Just one day before opposition, Jupiter will be around 367 million miles away from the Earth, the closest the two planets have been in 59 years, according to NASA. The last time that Jupiter was this close was in 1963 when John F. Kennedy was President of the United States.

Although the nights of Sept. 25 and Sept. 26 will be the best nights of 2022 to view Jupiter, stargazers will have plenty of time to see the planet shine in all its glory.

We all have that little voice in our heads that weighs in on everything we do or say. If we let it, it can make us feel demoralized, belittled or just less capable. The end result is that we wind up not accomplishing what we want. 

It’s never easy navigating challenging times, but as word experts and hosts of NPR’s award-winning podcast “You’re Saying It Wrong,” we’ve found ways to reframe our thoughts and change our attitude.

Here are 11 negative phrases to ditch if you want to think more positively and feel more confident, according to behavioral scientists, researchers and psychologists. (see article)
