Solid Meals - A Balanced Diet
When talking about diet, we’re discussing a very narrow path of balance. It is very easy to go beyond the healthy range in both directions — too much or too less food. If we want to understand food, we need to know what it’s made of. We eat because our body depends on different types of molecules, the ones we always refer to as nutrients, to work properly. These necessary nutrients are the macronutrients carbohydrates, fats, and proteins, as well as the micronutrients vitamins, and minerals. There are…

Learning to Walk – First Impressions
Walking is something that, as we get older, happens unconsciously and so naturally that we all stop paying attention to its impact on our lives. The way you walk can reveal a lot about your current state of mind, the way you feel, and how you perceive yourself and the world around you. You might be good at hiding expressions on your face, but if you’re not paying attention to the way you walk, this won’t lead you far in tricking others.…
Multiple Intelligences Theory
The ability to learn, to apply knowledge, to adapt to new situations, to solve problems, and achieve goals – intelligence. Despite its complexities, intelligence remains a topic that leaves experts across various disciplines debating its true form. Intelligence has always been and will always be a mission statement of our society.

Crafting - Determining Good and Bad
“No! You can’t do that! That’s bad.”
“Oh wow, that was really good, well done.”
The concept of “good and bad” plays a crucial role in our understanding of the world. It shapes our society and personal lives by influencing and determining our decisions, actions, and beliefs. This concept has become so normalized that we often fail to question or think about its origin. What exactly is that supposed to mean? “Good and bad.”

Second Word - How to Develop Willpower
You could continue to work effectively, but that’s so annoying. You could get up and work out, but that’s so exhausting. You could cook something healthy and delicious, but that’s so difficult. Why not just take the easy route? Good question — jokes, you very well know why. Continuing work moves you closer to your goal and keeps your mind fit. Working out builds muscle and strengthens your body. Cooking healthy provides the nutrients your body needs — all of them keep you healthy. But what keeps us from taking the obviously better way? Laziness? Ignorance? Indifference? All and none of these, disguised in the form of temptation. It has been and will always be one of humanity’s greatest opponents. How do you defeat it? Well, there is only one thing capable of that: willpower.
But what exactly is willpower?…

Today, we want to focus on overworking.…
