Self-improvement

 


  Self-improvement is something we seem to struggle with, whether we realize it or not. Maybe we don’t know fully, but we are all subconsciously aware of our own flaws, some are our fault, and some are not.

  At its core, self-improvement is about becoming a better version of ourselves. This can manifest in a variety of ways, from developing new skills and habits to addressing areas of our personality that we would like to change. However, before we can begin this journey, we must first ask ourselves: what does it mean to be a better version of ourselves?

  While the specifics of what it means to live a virtuous life may vary from person to person, there are some common threads that run through many philosophical traditions.

  One important aspect of self-improvement is developing self-awareness. This means taking the time to reflect on our thoughts, emotions, and actions in order to better understand ourselves. Self-awareness can help us identify areas where we may need to improve, as well as recognize our strengths and weaknesses.

  Another important aspect of self-improvement is setting goals. In order to become a better version of ourselves, we need to have a clear idea of what we want to achieve. This can involve setting short-term goals, like learning a new skill or forming a new habit, as well as long-term goals, like becoming more patient or compassionate.

  However, setting goals is not enough on its own. We must also cultivate the discipline and perseverance to follow through on our plans. This can be challenging, as it often involves pushing ourselves out of our comfort zones and overcoming obstacles along the way.

  Finally, it is important to remember that self-improvement is not a destination, but a journey. There is always room for growth and development, and we must be willing to embrace change and uncertainty in order to continue making progress.

  In conclusion, self-improvement is a deeply philosophical topic that involves cultivating virtues, developing self-awareness, setting goals, and persevering in the face of challenges. By embracing these principles, we can become better versions of ourselves and achieve a state of eudaimonia that brings happiness and fulfillment to our lives.

Leader Vs Boss

    Some people might use the terms "boss" and "leader" interchangeably, but that's not entirely accurate. The truth is, some bosses are simply a boss. They have attained a position in the management section of the corporate pyramid. Those positions alone don't make them leaders. They are just pushing their employers while "sitting down". However, bosses can become leaders, and doing so should become a priority for those who want to effectively lead in the workplace. So, what is the difference between a leader and a boss?   A boss refers to an individual who is in charge of the employee or an organisation. He exercises control over employees, assigns tasks, and duties to them, and is entitled to take decisions on some matters. There is no formal title like "boss" in the organisational chart, but the term indicates a person who is the owner or appointed as head of the organisation, department, or division.   On the other hand, the term lea

About Phubbing

    In the Digital Era, smartphones have become the number one priority in society. When it comes to our smartphones, nothing else in our lives gets as much attention. A single notification can branch to half days only checking the status or short videos on social media. If we lose it, the stress starts to build up rapidly. Getting by without a smartphone really is not possible anymore, and from that other areas of our lives are bound to be affected.   Phubbing describes the act of "phone-snubbing". It is a term that most people might not be familiar with, but the action is certainly one we all recognise. If we are going outside let's say, how often have we been physically in the presence of someone, but they're emotionally "not there" because they are absorbed in their smartphone? Quite a lot, isn't it?   Smartphones and text messaging help partners display love and affection to each other when they are physically apart. However, what happens when smart

Early Birds and Night Owls

  In this world, there are two kinds of people in this world, people who love to hear birds chirping in the morning, and people who wish the birds had a mute button somewhere. Someone likes the sun going up, someone likes the sun drowning to keep the night up. In other words, early birds and night owls. So, which one are you?    Early birds or morning people. They are awake in the morning and love to welcome the new day. Early birds tend to go to bed early, wake up early, and feel their best as the day begins. As a general rule, early birds find a society more accommodating than night owls do. Early birds generally have an easier time adjusting to standard daytime schedules.    On the other hand, night owls or night people tend to stay up late, enjoy sleeping in, have more energy at night, and feel tired after waking up early. Night owls do have a few downsides. They might have a harder time holding a traditional job. Young night owls might have trouble making a fixed school or univers
