When it comes to teamwork, the individual and the group depend on each other for power and survival. The group is only as strong as its members, and each member is only strong because of the support and unity of the group.

When it comes to staging a quiet comeback, real progress is built in ordinary, unseen moments rather than big, public victories. It contrasts applause with actual growth, arguing that consistency, discipline, and keeping your word when no one is watching create the confidence and results people are really after. A comeback isn’t a loud announcement but rather a series of small, stubborn decisions to keep going, especially when you feel behind, overlooked, or written off.

Scientists report that teens who grow up with a dog tend to show fewer social and behavioral difficulties than peers without pets, including less withdrawal, aggression, and rule‑breaking. The researchers think this mental health boost may be linked partly to changes in the teens’ microbiome that come from living closely with a dog.

Most people try to fix their entire life in one big push—new goals, new habits, new routines—only to burn out a week later. The better move is simpler and much more powerful: stabilize your day first. When your day has a reliable backbone, everything else you want to change becomes easier, cleaner, and less dramatic.

Meet a wingman who demonstrates quiet compassion, truly seeing someone others ignore, and restoring their dignity without seeking public praise. Everyday, unnoticed acts—sitting with someone, listening, getting them food, medical care, and work—can literally save a life, and that the deepest integrity is helping without needing credit.

Laughter has the power to cleanse the body and mind by engaging positive spirits and removing negative energy that you may be unconsciously carrying inside of you.

Future generations of people will probably not believe what life was like before they were born. The high-tech era had its roots in the 1940’s with the advent of transistors. By 1990 the introduction of personal computers and software provided to the public, allowed vast knowledge to spread to every sector of modern life. In the future, few people will have any idea that there was a time before computers and instantaneous data transfer. The drudgery of long and laborious mental tasks has become a thing of the past as artificial intelligence has already taken over many tasks previously assigned to human beings.

In a bold move, perhaps the first of its kind, the nation of Australia has banned social media access to young people under the age of sixteen in an effort to protect the mental heath of the country’s youth.

Those who resist Artificial Intelligence (AI) are likely to find themselves falling behind their counterparts in a manner similar to those who didn’t believe in computers a few decades ago. It makes more sense to become familiar with the basics this new operating technology that is increasingly becoming part of the foundation of much of the present day world of work. The fear of job-loss from automated intelligence is understandable. Therefore, it is prudent to be on the leading edge of this global reality, instead of making believe it doesn’t exist, and being left in the dust by all those willing to learn.

We spend all of our working lives earning money for the expenses of life that need to be paid. Those who are prudent set aside a certain portion of their earnings for savings that will hopefully grow in the future. The question at hand is one most of us don’t think of. When is the appropriate time to focus on your money’s distribution instead of accumulation? With advanced age comes reduced mobility, so don’t wait to long to use some of your gains and enjoy your life.

The pressures in modern life, part of day to day living, can interrupt the flow of positive feelings in us all. With whatever is going on, one needs to have hope, and particularly hope for the future, especially if you are going through a rough patch at the present time. Studies show that hopeful people have better lives overall as well as health outcomes to match.

Everyone loves the feeling of comfort. But remaining in one’s comfort zone too long has a downside. Never daring to step outside of it may limit possibilities and opportunities you will not have access to any other way than to challenge yourself. Taking a more difficult path may be uncomfortable at first, but rewarding in the long run.

Stress and fatigue, if not kept in check can degrade you body and spirit. In order to combat this pattern, pay attention to what you put in your mouth and how you treat your body.

If you couple that with a time restricted eating, commonly known as intermittent fasting, you will give your body needed internal rest so that it’s free from processing food all of the time.

Good news is all around us. As an update to a story we covered earlier, the successful discovery of hidden sperm through the use of Artificial Intelligence has resulted in a successful pregnancy for a couple once thought to be infertile by doctors at the Columbia University Fertility Center. Dyslexia is usually associated with a negative outcome, but a young girl in England recently diagnosed with this affliction received more in-depth testing, that revealed she is actually a genius. Consider that the founder of the Virgin Brand, Sir Richard Branson is also dyslexic, a characteristic he attributes to his success in the business world.

challenges that you possessed all along, but just didn’t know it.

Commander Drew continues to be impressed with the quality of the operation

of the Virgin Voyages cruise line. While underway at sea, when a cruise

passenger fell seriously ill, the stricken individual was airlifted from the deck

While it has been popular to say that reading is fundamental, a significant

portion of the American adult population has a decidedly subpar level of

literacy according to recent data. This lack of reading comprehension and

critical thinking ability stands as a threat to the society as a whole.

When tactical pilots repeat the common phrase, checking your six, they are

referring to the six o’clock position of their wingman, directly behind, which

he or she can’t see. The solution is to form a bond where the practice of

mutual support results in each pilot looking behind the other wingman. Our

hero in this case kept close surveillance on a colleague who was severely

depressed, lost hope, and considered drastic actions that would have been self

destructive. In the end our wingman saved his mate from an irreversible fate.

Because of that, both are doing fine today.

Yet, everyone loves good food. It is a struggle to find things that are healthy as well as tasty, but in the long run it’s worth the effort to consume things less likely to hurt you.

One of the exciting developments in modern medicine is the emerging science of implanting microscopic mechanical devices designed to assist bodily functions at the cellular level to correct health defects in human beings. Another bit of good news is that Philanthropist, MacKenzie Scott has made another donation of seventy million dollars to a number of Historically Black Colleges and Universities.
