A paradigm shift refers to a fundamental change in the way that people think about or approach a particular concept, theory, or area of knowledge. It often involves a significant shift in assumptions, values, and methodologies, leading to a new perspective or understanding of a subject.

Paradigm shifts can occur in many fields, such as science, technology, philosophy, and culture, and they can have far-reaching consequences. For example, the shift from a geocentric to a heliocentric model of the universe, proposed by Copernicus and Galileo, was a paradigm shift that had a profound impact on astronomy, physics, and philosophy. Similarly, the shift from analog to digital technology transformed the way we communicate, store and process information, and access entertainment.

Paradigm shifts are often the result of new discoveries, advances in technology, or changes in societal values and beliefs. They can be disruptive and controversial, as they challenge established theories and ways of thinking. However, they can also lead to breakthroughs and new insights that can help us better understand and address complex problems.

What are some little things you can do that greatly boost your confidence?

#1. Start your day with your favorite music

It’s a small step that can turn your mood from I’d-do-anything-to-go-back-to-sleep cranky to ready to tackle anything.

#2. Change the words that follow “I am”

Having you been telling yourself, “I am awkward,” “I ashy,” “I am ugly,” or “I am not good enough?” Change the words after “I am” to anything you want to be, and eventually, you’ll start to believe it.

#3. Nod along

An early study suggests that the up-and-down movement may actually improve confidence in your thoughts. So whenever you need an extra boost, feel free to nod away.

#4. Dress nicely

It doesn’t necessarily mean wearing $500 designer outfits. It means wearing clothes that are clean, that you are comfortable in and that are nice-looking and presentable, including casual clothes.

#5. Crack a smile

Flashing those pretty pearly white teeth will immediately make you appear both confident and composed.

#6. Say “hi” first.

Saying hi first will help you both command your presence and get out of your shell.

#7. Think about what makes you feel attractive

For example, try a new hairstyle, buy an article of clothing that flatters you, get a manicure, etc.

#8. Accept compliments

Just stop downplaying the compliments you receive and respond with a simple “Thank you!” And take a moment to internally feel good about yourself.

How can I change my attitude completely?

1.Men : Heartbreak hurts . Rejection hurts . Despair hurts. Lean on family, friends, & loved ones to overcome the inevitable pain ,
You become invincible when you stop letting outside events dictate your attitude towards life,
Spend some more time in nature & under the sun than indoors reading books about happiness,
Know your weaknesses but show your strength. Feel your fears but fortify your faith,
Wanting is not enough. If you want to bend reality to your will then you must submit yourself to your vision,
You navigate your life through your body. Treat it with respect & it’ll take you far,
Sometimes trying to prove you’re happy is an insult . Practice the attitude of gratitude,
You’re under appreciating the good parts of your life coz you’re worrying about the s**t that doesn’t matter,
If you’re not satisfied with your life, take a look at your day to day lifestyle . The hard part is figuring out where you’re, & where you want to be,
Give yourself some credit. Even if the results are not as fast as you expected, give yourself a pat on your back. Your time will come as long as you keep moving,
Just Chill.!!

What is one thing that I can learn from you today?
Never let anyone tell you that opportunities come only once. They’re not God. Don’t believe them.
Everything repeats itself. The moon and the sun rise and set every day and we don’t complain. Why do you complain simply because you missed an opportunity that will repeat itself?
Everything has a life cycle. That’s the order of life.
If you miss a season, wait for another season. Seasons will never end. There will always be rain and there will always be drought. Seasons exist to teach us when to plant, when to reap and when to wait. Some people are planters, others are reapers and others are waiters.
You are bound to make many mistakes in life and each time you are going to have a second chance to correct them.
We are not perfect beings. We don’t exist to be perfect. We exist to get the job done.
The greatest life lesson we can learn is how to look at an imperfect world perfectly.
We don’t live happily because we have money. We live happily because we were able to touch someone’s heart positively.
Even if you don’t love someone you don’t have to tell them in the face. Why should you be guilty of committing the murder of someone else’s heart?
Don’t make a habit of getting into other people’s minds uninvited. They might lock you out forever.
Once in your lifetime, you will meet someone who will change everything.
Don’t love too deeply, until you’re sure the other person loves you with the same depth.
Let go of the past. Don’t let it ruin your present or your future.
One day someone will come along who will love you the way you deserve to be loved and you won’t even have to fight for it.
You don’t meet people by accident; there’s always a reason — a blessing or a lesson.
Don’t let your arrogance blind you from noticing the next mistake that will humble you.
If you’re ever lucky enough to find someone who can put up with your stupidity don’t let them go.
The best apology you can give someone is a changed behavior.
There is no need to rush. What’s meant for you will always arrive on time.
The wrong person makes you beg for attention, affection, love, and commitment. The right person will give you these things because they love you.
Live perfectly so that when you die you’re laughing and everyone is reading your epitaph in tears.
Sometimes the only reason why you won’t let go of what’s making you sad is because it was the only thing that made you happy.
Living with an abusive person is worse than living in hell, but living with a funny person is like having a medicine cabinet in your bedroom.
The best relationship is the one you come together to make each other better, support each other and build each other.
Don’t be a gentleman to other people’s women, while you’re a monster to yours.
Marry that person who calls you after an argument just to remind you that no matter how difficult things get, she isn’t going to leave you.
The hardest battle is between what you know in your head and what you feel in your heart.
If you have a friend with whom you can speak and open your heart anytime, then you’re truly blessed.
Everything will work out in the end. You don’t need to know how. You just have to trust that it will.
The comeback is always stronger than the setback.

What habits drain focus?
If your mobile is always glued to your hand and your mobile data is never off.
If you think about s*x after every few seconds, neither can you focus nor can you engage in it.
Excitement is a feeling which does not let you focus on anything else except the subject matter of happiness, be excited but don't be over excited.
Having a long list of casual friends out of which most are misguided & misguiding.
Feeling of jealousy drains a lot of focus, all you can think about is others success & the role of luck in it.
Over consumption of fried food makes you drowsy & reduces focus.
Lack of sleep is a big killer of focus, sometimes you may start dreaming or hallucinating if you try to focus without adequate sleep.
Multi tasking is a big killer of focus, focus requires undivided attention & once you start multitasking you can gain efficiency but focus is drained.
Sense of achievement drains focus sometimes, your mind refuses to waste it's energy, all it wants is celebration.
Luxury drains focus, rich children can't focus even without an airconditioner.
Over thinking makes your mind occupied with necessary & unnecessary stuff & leaves no space for focus.
Anxiety/nervousness is the biggest enemy of focus.
Relationships don't drain focus but too much madness/frustration definitely drains focus.
Too much hectic schedule makes you keep thinking about the next activity in advance, you are in a rush so low focus.

What is one thing that I can learn from you today?

Not from me but we can learn from this pack of wolves an invaluable life lesson:

The 3 wolves in the front are either old or sick. They walk in front to lead the way so as to set the pace.
The 5 wolves behind them are the strongest. They protect the front in case of an attack.
The middle group consists of newborns,pregnant females, and young wolves. They are fully protected from front as well as from back.
The 5 wolves, behind the middle group are also amongst the strongests, they protect the back side.
The last and the lone wolf in the back is the leader. He ensures no one is left behind. He keeps the pack tight and cohesive. Also in case of an ambush he remains active to run in any direction to protect his pack.
So what can we learn from the alpha male is that “ being a leader is not always about being in the front. Its about taking care of your team”.

I have read close to 50 books in the past 3 years; yet if I have to share a book summary, my insights, or any quote, I couldn't remember.

I could not even recall the author's name :(

I was perplexed because this was not the case in childhood.

Back then, I could remember all that I had read and stored it in my memory for days, even months.

So what changed now? Did something went wrong with me?

I finally found the answer after I stumbled upon a knowledge post on social media:

In childhood, after I had read any subject, I used to write and fill an entire notebook;

Or, I would recite to myself what I learnt at that moment.

Both writing and reciting actions give task to the brain;

Brain is then forced to exercise its muscles and put those readings into coherent & meaningful sentences so that they make sense when you write or speak.

If your brain is not forced to do this, you will spill out something nonsense which will embarrass the brain.

Your brain won't like it and next time it will become even more conscious to retain what you just read and spill coherent information.

Contrary to this, if you are doing nothing beyond reading, your brain is just an observer and it won't put an effort to retain any of the stuff.

Another example which you can relate this is social media reels where you scroll through tons of information, yet you retain almost none of it.

So write, type, or recite, to retain what you read!
