Social Media and our Mental Health

By Anshiki Jadia

The social media plays in psychological wellness

Individuals are social animals. We need the friendship of others to flourish throughout everyday life, and the strength of our associations massively affects our emotional wellness and satisfaction. Being socially associated with others can ease pressure, nervousness, and wretchedness, support self-esteem, give solace and happiness, forestall dejection, and even add a long time to your life. On the other side, lacking solid social associations can represent a genuine danger to your psychological and passionate wellbeing.

In this day and age, a large number of us depend via web-based media stages like Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, YouTube, and Instagram to discover and associate with one another. While each has its advantages, recollect that online media can never be a substitution for certifiable human association. It needs face to face contact with others to trigger the chemicals that reduce pressure and cause you to feel more joyful, better, and more good. Amusingly for an innovation that is intended to unite individuals, investing an excess of energy drawing in with online media can really cause you to feel all the more desolate and detached—and intensify emotional wellness issues like uneasiness and despondency.

In case you’re investing an unnecessary measure of energy in web-based media and sensations of bitterness, disappointment, dissatisfaction, or dejection are affecting your life, it could be an ideal opportunity to rethink your online propensities and track down a better equilibrium.

The positive parts of web-based media – While virtual cooperation via online media doesn’t have similar mental advantages as vis-à-vis contact, there are as yet numerous positive manners by which it can help you stay associated and support your prosperity. Web-based media empowers you to: – Impart and keep awake to date with loved ones all throughout the planet. – Discover new companions and networks; network with others who share comparative interests or aspirations. – Join or advance advantageous aims; bring issues to light on significant issues. – – Look for or offer enthusiastic help during difficult stretches. – Discover fundamental social association in the event that you live in a far off region, for instance, or have restricted freedom, social uneasiness, or are essential for a minimized gathering. – Discover a source for your imagination and self-articulation. – Find (with care) wellsprings of important data and learning.

The negative parts of web-based media

Since it’s a somewhat new innovation, there’s little examination to set up the drawn out results, positive or negative, of online media use. In any case, different examinations have tracked down a solid connection between substantial online media and an expanded danger for gloom, tension, dejection, self-hurt, and surprisingly self-destructive musings.

Online media might advance negative encounters, for example,

Insufficiency about your life or appearance. Regardless of whether you realize that pictures you’re seeing via online media are controlled, they can in any case cause you to feel unreliable about what you look like for sure’s going on in your own life. Additionally, we’re all mindful that others will in general share simply the features of their lives, infrequently the depressed spots that everybody encounters. In any case, that doesn’t decrease those sensations of jealousy and disappointment when you’re looking through a companion’s artificially glamorized photographs of their tropical sea shore occasion or finding out about their intriguing new advancement at work.

Dread of passing up a major opportunity (FOMO). While FOMO has been around far longer than online media, destinations, for example, Facebook and Instagram appear to intensify sentiments that others are having a good time or carrying on with preferable lives over you are. The possibility that you’re passing up specific things can affect your confidence, trigger nervousness, and fuel much more prominent web-based media use. FOMO can force you to get your telephone like clockwork to check for refreshes, or urgently react to every single caution—regardless of whether that implies facing challenges while you’re driving, passing up rest around evening time, or focusing via web-based media communication over certifiable connections.

Separation. An examination at the University of Pennsylvania tracked down that high utilization of Facebook, Snapchat, and Instagram increments rather diminishes sensations of dejection. Then again, the investigation found that decreasing web-based media use can really cause you to feel less desolate and separated and work on your general prosperity.

Melancholy and nervousness. Individuals need vis-à-vis contact to be intellectually solid. Nothing lessens pressure and lifts your mind-set quicker or more viably than eye-to-eye to eye connection with somebody who thinks often about you. The more you focus via online media communication over in-person connections, the more you’re in danger of creating or compounding state of mind issues like tension and gloom.

Cyberbullying. Around 10% of youngsters report being harassed via web-based media and numerous different clients are exposed to hostile remarks. Web-based media stages, for example, Twitter can be focal points for spreading terrible bits of gossip, lies, and misuse that can leave enduring enthusiastic scars.

Self-retention. Sharing unending selfies and all your deepest contemplations via web-based media can make an unfortunate narcissism and distance you from genuine associations.

Signs that web-based media is affecting your psychological well-being Everybody is unique and there is no particular measure of time spent via web-based media, or the recurrence you check for refreshes, or the quantity of posts you make that demonstrates your utilization is becoming unfortunate. Maybe, it has to do with the effect time spent via web-based media has on your disposition and different parts of your life, alongside your inspirations for utilizing it. For instance, your web-based media use might be risky in the event that it makes you disregard eye to eye connections, diverts you from work or school, or leaves you feeling jealous, furious, or discouraged. Essentially, in case you’re spurred to utilize web-based media since you’re exhausted or forlorn, or need to present something on make others envious or upset, it very well might be an ideal opportunity to rethink your online media propensities.

Pointers that online media might be antagonistically influencing your emotional well-being include:

Investing more energy in web-based media than with true companions. Utilizing web-based media has gotten a substitute for a ton of your disconnected social communication. Regardless of whether you’re out with companions, you actually want to continually check web-based media, regularly determined by sentiments that others might be having some good times than you.

Contrasting yourself horribly and others via web-based media. You have low confidence or negative self-perception. You might even have examples of disarranged eating.

Encountering cyberbullying. Or then again you stress that you have no power over the things individuals post about you.

Being occupied at school or work. You feel strain to post customary substance about yourself, get remarks or likes on your posts, or react rapidly and energetically to companions’ posts.

Lacking the capacity to deal with self-reflection. Each extra second is filled by drawing in with online media, leaving you or no an ideal opportunity for pondering what your identity is, your opinion, or why you act the way that you do—the things that permit you to develop personally.

Participating in hazardous conduct to acquire preferences, offers, or positive responses via online media. You play risky tricks, post humiliating material, cyberbully others, or access your telephone while driving or in other perilous circumstances.

Experiencing rest issues. Do you check web-based media last thing around evening time, before anything else, or in any event, when you awaken in the evening? The light from telephones and different gadgets can disturb your rest, which thusly can truly affect your psychological well-being.

Deteriorating side effects of uneasiness or melancholy. Maybe than assisting with reducing negative sentiments and lift your state of mind, you feel more restless, discouraged, or desolate in the wake of utilizing online media.

Internship & The Role of an Intern

What is an internship? An internship is a period of work experience offered by an organization for a limited period of time. They are typically undertaken by students and graduates looking to gain relevant skills and experience in a particular field. An internship consists of an exchange of services for experience between the intern and the organization. Internships are used to determine whether the intern still has an interest in that field after the real-life experience. Internships provide current college students with the ability to participate in a field of their choice to receive hands-on learning about a particular future career, preparing them for full-time work following graduation.

Internships are usually short-term. They’re smaller investments in time and energy than full-time jobs. But they are certainly without a doubt a great investment of your time. Consequently, they’re perfect opportunities to explore your options. You deserve work that’s fulfilling. If necessary, you can sign up for a different but related internship role elsewhere to see if you’re happier there.

Your internship is going to shape the course of your career. It’ll assist you in acquiring the skills you need to perform up-to-par when you’re hired full-time. It’s essential you use your internship as the training opportunity it represents.

You’re sure to have a bright future if you work hard, build positive relationships, and use the skills you develop in your internship to your advantage.

Who is an intern?

An intern is a trainee who has signed on with an organisation for a brief period. An intern’s goal is to gain work experience, occasionally some university credit, and always an overall feel for the industry they’re interning in.

An intern is primarily a support role at least in the beginning. When you join up, your main job will be to assist, learn, and grow. After you’ve settled in, you’ll be expected to pull your own weight.

What does an intern do?

So, what does an intern do exactly? That depends on the industry in question and the kind of internship you’ve signed up for.

Here’s a general overview of the work you can expect to do as an intern:    

1. Assist and contribute to the team

In the beginning of your internship, you may your time simply trying to learn how the company works. You may shadow an employee to get an understanding of their role. After few days of learning the ins-and-outs of the company, you’ll start to assist and contribute more to the team. 

Here are some day-to-day intern roles and their responsibilities :  

  • Performing clerical duties
  • Managing social media and emails
  • Event handling
  • Research

2. Learn and gain experience

You’ll be expected to learn as much as you possibly can while you work, regardless of the kind of internship you’ve signed up for.

What kind of learning will you be doing? It can be broken down into two main areas :

  • Picking up hard skills : Hard skills are the technical skills you need to carry out your intern responsibilities, and eventually job duties, successfully.
  • Brushing up on your soft skills : Soft skills are as important as hard skills. Soft skills are all about your ability to relate to people and building mutually-beneficial relationships.

3. Job shadow

Job shadowing has become the norm recently. As the name suggests, the practice involves “shadowing” someone as they perform their daily duties, observing their activities, and learning what the role entails via indirect experience.

How does this work exactly? When you join the organisation, you may be assigned a mentor. The first few weeks, you may be tasked with following them around. Once you’ve shadowed for a while, you may be asked to help your mentor on projects or eventually take over some of their tasks.

4. Take on an increasing amount of responsibility

As time goes by, expect to shoulder an increasing amount of responsibility. Initially, they’ll gauge your current skill set and reliability with your initial workload. As you prove yourself to your colleagues and bosses, you’ll be entrusted with more crucial tasks. The better you perform, the more the responsibilities you’ll be given. Employers prefer quality over quantity – don’t afraid to ask for help if you need it. 

5. Make a career call 

Finally, usually at the tail-end of your internship, you have to make a career-defining decision: continue in the field you interned in or try your hand at something else entirely. You got a taste of what working in your industry full-time would be like. That’s the beauty of an internship you can always go into another field you would like. 

Why internships are beneficial?

Here are some reasons that expand on why an internship is essential to your personal and professional development:

  • Tests industry knowledge
  • Helps you figure out your interests
  • Creates new interests
  • Connects you to industry professionals
  • Allows you to learn in a safe environment
  • allows you to get paid to learn
  • Provides possible credit for your college degree
  • Allows you to potentially gain more internship opportunities
  • Creates a unique travel experience
  • Inspires you to learn more about an industry
  • Teaches you about the importance of work-life balance
  • Introduces you to office politics

How to expand skill-set.

A skill set is a combination of abilities, qualities and experiences you can apply to perform tasks well. These can include soft skills such as interpersonal skills, organization and leadership as well as technical skills such as research, computer programming, accounting writing and more.

Spending time on improving your skills can help you achieve personal career goals such as earning a promotion or becoming an expert on a certain topic. Your skill set can be applied to progress in your current career or expanded to earn a job in a different field or industry.

You can gain and improve skills with education and experience. The more advanced you are in performing certain skills, the more likely you are to get or progress in a job.

While employers are struggling with a skills shortage, this means that professionals who have the right skill sets will find many opportunities in the job market. However, the practice of actually keeping your skills up-to-date is often easier said than done. Between full-time work and personal responsibilities, many professionals wonder how one finds the time to continue working toward their next career goal. As a result, finding new ways to continue learning on the job is crucial to not just staying up-to-date with current industry trends, but also keeping yourself marketable for future opportunities.

To continue working to develop your skills on the job, start with these steps:

Think about your career goals

As you consider how you can expand your skill set at work, start by thinking about your career goals. What kind of position do you want to have in the long-term? Once you answer that question, you can better determine where your current skill set is lacking. To do so, start by searching for relevant jobs that match your career goals. Once you see a job description of a role that interests you, you can begin to piece together where you need to improve. For example, perhaps you would like to manage a team of your own in the future, but you lack the leadership experience.

Look for more problems to solve

While it’s easy to get stuck in day-to-day operations, looking for ways to improve your (or your team’s) workflow or goals can give you more opportunities to learn new skills. This could mean that you identify and research how you can simplify a process, or help a colleague work through an issue. When you find a problem to solve, you could end up learning new software or even a new technique that improves everyone’s performance.

What role does social media play in the lives of all of us?

Social Media We all know that in today’s time everyone is aware of social media.Social media is such a nontraditional media in which the news of the whole world is there, all the people of the whole world are connected.Social media which is a world in itself in which the whole world is one.Social media is a huge network.The one who holds the whole world connect.

This communication is a very good medium through which we can connect with people without any problem.With which we can reach our point in any other country or in any corner of our country and can get the news of every day.It connects one person to another.If we have to hire someone or do a job somewhere or show the story of our heart to the world,then all of us can do it.

Social media is a great platform in the spread of popularity, where a person can make himself or any of his products more popular. Today the trailers of films, TV programs are also being broadcast through social media. Video and audio chats have also been facilitated through social media, with Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram being some of the major platforms.

we all know Social media plays a positive role as well as negative. By which any person, organization, group and country etc. can be made economically, socially, culturally and politically prosperous.Many such developmental works have been done through social media, which have worked to enrich democracy, which has increased the unity, integrity, secularism, socialist qualities of any country.

We see many such examples, which corroborate the above points in which one can see ‘INDIA AGAINST CORRUPTION’, which was a great campaign against corruption which was fought on the streets as well as on social media which led to huge mass gathering of Anna Associated with Hazare’s movement and made it influential.

During the 2014 general elections, political parties played an important role in making the general public aware of elections by using social media fiercely. The use of social media in this general election increased the voting percentage, as well as increased awareness about the election among the youth. A large number of youth came on the streets to get justice for ‘Nirbhaya’ through social media, forcing the government to come under pressure and enact a new and more effective law.

But there is as much positive as there is in social media negative.Social media is that which can make someone’s life in an instant, it can also destroy it.Often some people use social media for the wrong work.Saying anything wrong about anyone, making dirty comments on the actress, trolling any people.It is dirty to say anything on someone’s weight and on someone’s color.

Nowadays people do not spend as much time with their loved ones as they spend on social media. In such a situation, it is also true that the effect of social media is now starting to affect the health of the people.If seen, negative experiences have more impact than positive interactions on social media. These negative experiences make young people prone to depressive symptoms.Due to the excessive effect of negative things, the person goes into depression or takes some wrong steps out of fear.

Social media is good, this thing is true but it is equally wrong. Social media is that in which a person or a country is seen to support when trouble comes.But some things like saying anything wrong about someone’s personal life or someone, there are many such things.About which people think before doing anything.

Today social media has connected one person to and another and it is a big deal for us.Social media is such a platform in which a person can make his mark by his work and this right is with everyone.And social media plays a different and very big role in the life of all of us according to our work.

Advancement of Women in India

Advancement of Women

Introduction

In India, where women are considered as mothers, women are being enslaved and abused. It is a pity that women seek to destroy women. 

The Status of the Woman

In ancient times women were proud. That is why all the rivers of the motherland were called by the name of the woman. From the fact that many female poets lived during the Sangam period and from the heroic life of Lakshmibai, the Rani of Jhansi and Rani Mangammal, we can know that women excelled in all fields. 

But over time, that is likely to change. The oppression of women began to grow. Women began to be enslaved.

The custom of having his wife jump into the fire with him if the husband dies came from the name of conspiracy. Reformers like Rajaram Mohan Roy slammed it and removed it. 

Women today have the same responsibilities as men in a family. Many families depend on women. But even today, in the name of dowry, women are given and gold is given. It is painful to note that many of these women are abused by the groom’s house. If the wife dies, the widow is denied marriage while the groom remarries.

Femininity in Society 

To this day, women are given second place in society. Gandhiji said he would accept that peace prevails in the country if a young woman walks the streets alone in the midnight. But in the daytime, the news about men abusing women is the same.  

 Female infanticide still exists in many families today. The family does not provide adequate education for women. Similarly, it is painful to portray women as mere objects in movies and advertisements. 

Women today are proving that we can achieve in any field. However, violence against women continues today. No one can deny this. But the comforting news is that many women’s organizations are emerging and listening to these atrocities.

Government Programs

It is to be welcomed that the government has come up with several legal schemes and shown interest in the advancement of women. The State Government and the Central Government have enacted laws such as the Dowry Prohibition Act, the Maternity Allowance Act, the Industrial Rules, the Sharda Act and the Equal Pay Act and are making arrangements for data on reservations for women. 

The government and the general public must protect women’s rights by providing them with education and equal rights. We must remember that men and women are equal.

Conclusion

We will realize Bharati’s dream that this world will flourish only because men and women are equal. Understand the fact that the two wheels of the cart of society are male and female and everyone should participate in the advancement of women.

WOMEN SAFETY IN INDIA

Women in India, today, are becoming the most vulnerable section as far as their safety and security is concerned. Women are the greatest strength of our society and it is so disheartening to see that they are getting unsafe day by day as the number of crimes against them are increasing. According to a poll by Reuters, India has been ranked the most dangerous country out of the world’s 10 worst countries for women. When we turn the pages of a newspaper, we come across many headlines reporting cases of molestation, harassment, trafficking, ill treatment of women in houses, violence against women in remote areas etc. Women feel unsafe and unsecure and feel that their freedom and liberty are expose to risk. It is unbearable to imagine the plight of women who are sufferers of such crimes. It is a shake on the confidence of the women of the society and on our judicial system.

According to the National Crimes Records Bureau(NCRB), India recorded 88 rape cases every day in 2019 and crimes against women increased by 63.3% in the first six months of 2021. NCRB report highlights that rape vulnerability of a girl or woman has increased up to 44% in the last 10 years. As per the latest NCRB data, KOLKATA comes out on top in safety, not just for women, but overall as well. To protect women from domestic violence THE PARLIAMENT OF INDIA passed ‘The Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act 2005’.

IMPORTANCE OF WOMEN SAFETY-

Safety of women is very important in this cruel and evil society. As the number of cases are arising against women, it is very important to exercise the laws and get the criminal arrested and punished as soon as possible. It helps women be calmer, understanding and they feel protected. They will trust the government if the criminal gets required punishment in time. It will develop body and mind control in them. They will take active part in every thing if proper safety is ensured to them. There are laws but there should be proper safety measures which we have to follow strictly to protect the women from violence.

We generally play the blame game for any such incidence and hence have not succeeded to reach the root cause of this issue. An effective implementation of loss protecting women’s rights is the first step in this direction. There should be stringent loss and the criminals of such crime should be severely punished.

CRIMES AGAINST WOMEN-

In India, sexual harassment, rapes, domestic violence, dowry cases and murder are common forms of violence against women. It is found in some places that even today, there is a tradition of taking dowry from the girl’s family and the father sacrifices and loses everything to pay it. Domestic violence is also increasing very badly where one partner or a man abuses another another partner or a girl in a relationship. It leads to depression and suicides. It’s not a direct murder but it is the cause of murder for sure. Cheating in a relationship and giving divorce is also a crime against women which destroys the whole life of a women and the man easily finds a new girl and marries her. Acid throwing is considered to be the most heinous crime against women which ruins the beautiful girl’s life and left her in a state of shock.

HOW CAN WE SAFEGUARD WOMEN OF OUR SOCIETY?

We also need to create social awareness about these issues and ostracise those who commit such crimes and not the victims. Women safety is a crucial concern in India and a lot of organisations started working on it after Nirbhaya’s case. Women should be taught some self-defence tips and tricks in schools, colleges, offices and residential colonies, so that if anyone tries to harm them, they can apply these tricks to protect them and hurt the person trying to attack her. Also, various videos of self-defence techniques are uploaded online, on various social media platforms for educating women’s safety. Women should always put some chilly powder, ginger-garlic paste or some harming materials while going out to harm the attacker. To ensure the security of the women in the country, the entire population should be well-educated and the laws should be very tough against every kind of crime. Both the men and women of the society should be empowered with proper education and income so that they can fight against any harm to them. There are also various helpline numbers for ensuring women safety in India. Only when these measures are taken, India can become a carefree and enjoyable place for women when they can go where ever they like to without any fear of being stared at, molested or discriminated.

BUBBLES

” surround everyone you can think

of in bubbles of love“

~ Diana Cooper

Bubbles! We all know how fascinating they are, evoking happy memories of blowing and chasing the mystical orbs with our friends. A bubble’s fragile nature, beautiful rainbow colors, and ability to soar through the sky make them universally fascinating among kids.

How are bubbles formed?

Bubbles are pockets of soap and water that are filled with air. When soap and water are mixed together and air is blown into the mixture, the soap forms a thin skin or wall and traps the air, creating a bubble.

What are some fun facts about bubbles?

A bubble consists of three layers: two layers of soap clinging to either side of a layer of water. Light that hits the different layers interferes with itself, causing colorful iridescence. A bubble always attempts to form a sphere because surface tension pulls the liquid inward.

What is the purpose of bubbles?

What’s the science behind (or inside) a bubble? Bubbles provide the opportunity to study science concepts such as elasticity, surface tension, chemistry, light, and even geometry.

What are the properties of bubbles?

Properties of Bubbles

  • Liquid-Solid Contact Angles.
  • Film-Film Contact Angles.
  • Film-Solid Contact Angles.

Who invented bubbles?

Bubbles are no longer simply soap and water. Invented by Taiwanese bubble solution expert Jackie Lin, the top-secret solution contains a polymer that allows bubbles to resist evaporation.

Why do bubbles float?

soap bubbles can’t really fly — they float! … Because the air trapped inside a bubble is less dense than the air outside the bubble, it’s up, up and away! The heavier carbon dioxide in the air around the bubble pushes up on the air trapped inside the bubble and off it goes.

Are bubbles liquid or gas?

A bubble is a globule of one substance in another, usually gas in a liquid. Examples include soap bubbles, foam, bubbles in carbonated drinks, etc. The surface of a bubble is usually liquid. A bubble is a globule of one substance in another, usually gas in a liquid.

What are the different kinds of bubbles?

  • Air bubbles as a man surfaces in a swimming pool.
  • Bubbles of gas in a soft drink.
  • Bubble of gas in a mudpot.
  • A bubble of gas in a tar pit.
  • Frosted bubble.
  • Man blows bubble.

” Happiness is a soap bubble that

changes color as the iris and that breaks when touched “

Tax Planning

 

Introduction to Tax Planning:



Tax
Planning is an activity
conducted by the tax payer to reduce the tax liable upon him/her by making
maximum use of all available deductions, allowances, exclusions, etc. feasible
under law. 


                                                                            

It is a good thing to give government a part of our earnings
so that various development works can
be carried out. But we should also think of saving the tax that we pay with the help of ways
provided by the government. Various deductions that can be taken under Section
80 can be taken up to a maximum limit of 1.5
Lakhs.


How to create an effective Tax plan ?

Let us try to understand it with an example:

I would like to take deductions as
follows:

1.        PPF (Under Section 80C): Invest Rs. 5000, in PPF every month, i.e., Rs.60,000 per annum into PPF. I will save tax also and fulfil my investment plan also.

2.       
ELSS
(Under Section 80C): An Equity Linked Savings Scheme,
popularly known as ELSS, is a type of diversified equity scheme which
is close-ended, with a lock-in
period of three years, offered by mutual funds in India. Annual
Investment of 68,500 to be made in ELSS, which will save tax expenses and
generate income also.

3.       
Deduction for Term Life Insurance: Deduction of at least Rs. 9492, based on the plan I chose. Premiums paid for it are
deductible u/s 80C.

4.       
Deduction for Medical Insurance (Under Section 80D): Take a health
insurance of an annual premium of Rs. 21500 approx.
for the cover of Rs. 75,00,000.

Analysis of the above Tax Plan

As we can see above, without any taxation planning, we
have to pay a tax of Rs. 3,12,500 p.a. under 25% slab of Income Tax. But after tax planning
and making proper
allocations of money, Income tax paid is Rs. 2,20,000.
Hence, we save Rs. 92,500 p.a. This amount can further be invested into some
return generating investments.



                                                Conclusion                     

                                                                                  

Thus, we should always try to plan our taxes in such a
way that less of them have to be paid and more return can be made in long run.

                                                                             

 

5 most dangerous animal on the planet

There are many animals on this planet. Some are fine but some are venomous and dangerous for all. Some might hurt you back when you try to hurt them as well but some are just not as good as you can think of them. So here we are going to talk about 5 of these dangerous animals on the planet.

1) Box jellyfish

Box jellyfish is one the dangerous animals found on the planet. They are native to Australia. They are cnidarian vertebrates distinguished by their box like body. Some species of this animal produces venom that are fatal to humans. It is said to be the deadliest creature in the sea.

2) Mosquitoes

Mosquitoes are one of the smallest creature but is as deadly as large venomous creatures. They are found in every region except Antarctica. Genera Aedes, Anopheles and Culex are the main dangers. They are primary vector for diseases like malaria, chikungunya, yellow fever, dengue, elephantiasis, Zika virus, encephalitis and dengu. These diseases affect more than 700 million people in a year and caused death of nearly 725000 people.

3) Saltwater crocodile

They are one of the most dangerous beast. They can grow up to 26ft. They are massive in size and weights upto tonnes. They are aggressive they tear the humans into pieces. One or two fatal attacks are reported by these creatures. If looked properly they resembles T.rex. There are sign board present to avoid swimming in the area of this beast. Mainly 20-30 attacks outside Australia take place by these massive man eaters. Most of them are males.

4) Stonefish

Stone fish are found in indo-pacific ocean, The Red sea and the great barrier reef. They are the most venomous fish known and they are fatal to human. Stonefish stings are extremely painful and potentially lethal. Stonefish stings can occur on the beach, not only in water but also outside the water as they can survive 24 hours outside the water. They look similar to rocks or corals.

5) Puffer fish

Puffer fish is also known as blowfish. They are closely related to porcupinefish which have large external spines. These species are toxic and some are poisonous. Pufferfish can be lethal if not served properly. Puffer poisoning usually results from consumption of incorrectly prepared Puffer soup, fugu chiri, or occasionally from raw Puffer meat. Pufferfish tetrodoxin deadens the tongue and lips, and induce dizziness and vomiting, followed by numbness and prickling over the body, rapid heart rate, decreased blood pressure and muscle paralysis.

Perfectionism Destroys Productivity

Do you always worry that you didn’t do a good job? Do you always question your work and your actions? Are you afraid of admitting your mistakes? Does rejection make you feel bad? If so, you’re in great danger. If you’re a perfectionist, you’re just a procrastinator with a mask. It’s no different from someone who’s lazy and does nothing at all. A perfectionist…

  • Always waits for the right moment.
  • Never makes mistakes.
  • Always needs more time.

But at the end of the day, life and work is about outcomes. Results matter.

Is perfectionism worth it?

Perfectionism is just another form of procrastination. When you constantly worry about making mistakes, doubt creeps in your mind. And that causes indecision.

There are two types of perfectionists:

  1. The one that never starts. You want to achieve something, but you immediately start doubting yourself. You think: “I don’t think I can do it.” So you never start.
  2. The one that starts but has too high standards. You set a goal. You work hard (maybe too hard). But you’ve set your goals so high, that you’re always failing yourself.

These are things that we rather avoid. Joachim Stöber and Jutta Joormann, who studied Worry, Procrastination, and Perfectionism, write:

“The combination of concern over mistakes and procrastination may be a crucial factor in the maintenance of worry. On the one hand, it may prolong existing threats because no steps are taken to cope. On the other hand, it may increase existing threats or even produce additional threats because initially solvable problems will pile up, thus creating an overload of problems that may finally be insoluble.”

And that feeling of being helpless is the biggest pitfall for us. Because what do we do when we feel helpless? Exactly—we give up. Just look at the studies about Learned Helplessness. However, perfectionism is not always bad. In fact, some studies suggest perfectionism is related to greater achievement. But that’s not the question here. Of course, when you set higher goals and if you have higher standards; you achieve more. Without a doubt, perfectionistic tendencies can be a good thing. But as we all know, achieving goals is not the only thing in life. It’s more about HOW we reach our goals and aspirations.

How to beat it?

In an interesting study by Gordon L. Flett and his colleagues; they talk about the role of learned resourcefulness to perfectionism. They suggest that learned resourcefulness can play a mediator role.

Michael Rosenbaum, a Professor at Oxford University says,

“Learned resourcefulness refers to the behavioral repertoire necessary for both regressive self-control and reformative self-control. This repertoire includes self-regulating one’s emotional and cognitive responses during stressful situations, using problem-solving skills, and delaying immediate gratification for the sake of more meaningful rewards in the future.”

Learned resourcefulness is the skill that you need to stop sabotaging yourself.

Finding Balance

If you’re a slacker, you don’t care about much. Good enough is your motto. And you have no ambition at all. An attitude like that doesn’t bring you anywhere. The American novelist Cormac McCarthy put it best:

“It’s like a lot of things, said the smith. Do the least part of it wrong and ye’d just as well to do it all wrong.”

Slacking is an attitude of “I don’t care.” But if you want to make things happen in your life, you have to care. And what you want is to find a middle ground where your perfectionistic tendencies drive you, but you have the calm of a slacker, and you combine that with learned resourcefulness. Do great work like a perfectionist, but don’t give too much attention to your goals like a slacker. And finally, combine it with this:

Resourcefulness — Goals can work well, but they can also be counterproductive. That’s why you want to rely on systems. And when shit hits the fan; use your problem-solving skills to figure things out.

 Instead of beating yourself up when you make a mistake or if you fail yourself, you just adjust or solve the problem.

  • Avoid the perfectionist’s favorite sentence: “OMG, this is the worst thing ever!”
  • Also avoid the slacker’s favorite sentence: “I don’t care.”
  • But instead, you say: “I’ve got this.”

Everything about Procrastination

We all procrastinate Procrastination is the act of putting off work for no particular reason. Some guides and experts say that you’re procrastinating when you’re not doing a task that needs to be accomplished by a certain deadline.  That’s a false definition. It implies that we’re not procrastinating as long as we get the work done. If that’s true, most people don’t procrastinate. Which is of course not true.  In fact, a recent study with 2,219 respondents showed that 88% of all people admit to procrastinating at least one hour a day. That’s more accurate. Why? Because we all delay or postpone a task for no good reason. Sometimes, we start a task or project, but we end up delaying the work. We don’t get it done.

Examples of Procrastination

When you delay work for a good reason, you’re not procrastinating. What’s a good reason? When your work improves with the delay. Think of someone who needs to write a report but runs into a new challenge that must be included in the report. One can argue that the work will be better by spending more time on researching the new challenge. However, most of our work does not get better by delaying it. If you want to go to the gym, your performance will not be better tomorrow. It will probably be worse because of entropy.  Until four days before the exam. That’s when the exam comes close, which is when most students start panicking. Now, most of us form this behavior in college and remain working this way long after we’re graduated. In the workplace, we procrastinate in the same way. How often have you delayed work on a project until the last minute? Again, this pattern is not only limited to education and work. In our personal lives, we do the same. When are you submitting your yearly income taxes? Exactly, on the last day. Will we do a better job with our taxes on the last day? Probably not. I argue that we’re even more likely to make mistakes because of the time pressure.  Some people say that they love deadlines and claim that’s what fuels them to do good work. I know journalists who swear by it. But it’s not a sustainable way of living and working. When you’re close to your deadline, and you haven’t done anything, you experience more stress. While stress may improve your concentration, it also has negative effects on your long-term well-being. Long-term, or chronic stress, can lead to depression, anxiety, heart disease, high blood pressure, abnormal heart rhythms, heart attacks, obesity, eating disorders, and a handful of other health problems1. Procrastination is not a problem we should take lightly.

Benefits of Stopping Procrastination

Procrastination is an inner struggle that can seriously destroy our overall well-being. There are three main benefits to beating procrastination:

1. Lower Anxiety

The more we procrastinate, and the longer we wait to get started with important things, the more anxiety and stress we have. Doing work is never easy. And if you wait until tomorrow, you will only feel more anxious about getting started. If you overcome procrastination and take immediate action, you will get things done. You remove the anxiety from that task before it gets to you.

Higher self-discipline

Research shows that procrastination is not only a time-management problem. One of the biggest reasons we procrastinate is low self-discipline. The main benefit of beating procrastination is that you automatically increase your self-discipline. 

Better Work

People who don’t procrastinate accomplish better work. When you work with less stress, anxiety, and high self-discipline, you give yourself the chance to do better work. 

Tips To Stop Procrastinating

  1. Know your time: This is one of the most effective techniques to identify how much time we waste. If we want to stop wasting our time, we need to be aware of how we spend our time first.
  2. Perfectionism destroys Productivity: This is a common trap ambitious people fall in. When you try to be perfect, you’re more likely to procrastinate.
  3. Disconnect from Internet: A big aspect of beating procrastination is to avoid distractions. One of the biggest distractions is the internet. It’s good to disconnect at times.
  4. Sleep Well: Sleep is a big part of getting things done. When you’re tired, you’re more likely to put off tasks. 
  5. Exercise: Exercising is a perfect way to test yourself. If you can exercise consistently every week, it’s a good sign you’ve beaten procrastination. 
  6. Improve Self-Confidence: Improve your self-confidence so you are more likely to get things done. Believe in your ability to figure things out. 
  7. Write Daily: Writing every day is another example of self-discipline. Just like exercise, if you can write for your own purposes every day, you’ve beaten procrastination.

Books to help you stop procrastinating

  1. Man’s Search for Meaning by Victor Frankl:  Viktor Frankl was a psychiatrist before the war. His ability to observe the behavior of his fellow prisoners in Auschwitz resulted in Man’s Search For Meaning. This unique book describes how we choose our attitude in any given set of circumstances. Even during the horrible conditions of a concentration camp, humans can endure the suffering and find meaning in living because of inner decisions.
  2. A Manual for Living by Epictetus: A Manual For Living is exactly what the title says it is. This book also gives you a larger perspective on humanity. People have always had problems with self-confidence, family, work, other people, etc. In a way, nothing has changed. And that’s pretty comforting.
  3. Mindset: The New Psychology of Success by Carol Dweck: Life is about solving problems and finding solutions. If you always look at the risks and consequences of everything, you might play it safe, but you’ll also never grow. Carol Dweck’s book is one of my favorite books about developing the mindset you need to succeed in life.
