How are you? Really. Not “I’m fine,” or “I’m good,” or “I’m okay.” Does that really describe how you feel? The problem with this answer is it is not at all descriptive of how you are actually doing. With an answer like that can you really tell if someone is doing well? Probably not.

Emotions can often be a very difficult thing to control and rightly so. Your amygdala, which is your emotional control center, has been around longer than your ability to rationally think and contemplate things. …

breaking the ice and leaving an impression from a single question

When we meet people for the first time, we often are not sure how to start off conversation to have a meaningful conversation. We often go through small talk which is dreadful for everyone involved.

Remember all of those times you are in middle of a conversation and an awkward silence breaks loose? Both of you are internally panicking as you both say “um” and “uh” as you try to find something to continue your conversation.

In this situation people would often think that conversation was bad because the…

Before we try to understand this quantum algorithm, let’s understand what is the general purpose of a computer to see the significance of this algorithm.

A computer is a physical device that helps us process information by executing algorithms. An algorithm is a set of instructions given to a computer in order to solve a problem.

Algorithms are measured based on the number of resources that are used by a computer in order to solve a problem. Resources can be defined in two ways: time and space.

Time: how long it takes to perform the computation.

Space: Amount of memory…

Imagine being able to lift a car without the help of machines, steroids, or drugs. Imagine that with just your own strength you can lift something that is 20 times your body weight.

As crazy as this fantasy seems to be, it has been done. Keep in mind it wasn’t done by some super strong athlete, this can be done by normal, average people.

Take Kenny Franklin and Charlotte Heffelmire as an example. They both somehow managed to lift cars to save the lives of other people.

Wait…how is this even possible? It doesn’t make sense. Logically speaking, a light…

How does thinking like a poker player makes you more rational? If anything isn’t betting your money on poker a more irrational thing to do?

To be honest, this is exactly what I was thinking before listening to Annie Duke, a professional poker player who has made over $4 million playing poker.

In reality, if you won that much money you must be doing something right. In this podcast, she talks about responding to failure, becoming more open-minded, and dealing with high-pressure, high-stakes situations with uncertainty, and so much more.

Think of all the small around you. I’m not talking about your phone, your little notebook, or your drawer. Think so small that you can’t see it. Atoms, molecules, subatomic particles. What if I told all of the smallest things to rely on one set of laws that govern all of its actions. This is quantum physics, which is how our universe operates.

In quantum physics, electrons are usually regarded as a wave function. This wave is not a real physical thing, like water or soundwave. The wave function is an abstract mathematical wave.

Your answer could be yes, no, or I don’t know. Happiness is what most people strive for. Having a purpose and fulfilling it gives someone’s life meaning. Hopefully, throughout this reading, you have some epiphanies of your own as you go through a roller coaster, that I call an experience.

What does happiness actually mean?

To each person, happiness might mean a different thing, but it is safe to say we all want many things. We want more time, more money, more likes.

Think of the one that speaks to you the most. …

We start off with checking our phones for a notification, an hour passes by and we do not even realize it. Sound familiar?

It is a bad habit that seems difficult to shake off. The most important part of solving a problem is understanding it’s the source and in this situation, it is no different.

Problem:

Hedonism is why you procrastinate. Epicurus claimed everything we do is for the sake of pleasure and avoiding pain. For example, you remember that long project that was really boring that you did not want to do? How many times did you check social media…
