These 11 countries are banning certain baby names because parents can't be trusted

 Well you can no longer name your kid "Linda" in Saudi Arabia. So there's that.

"Linda" is one of 50 names now banned in the country as of this month, according to Gulf News.

Other banned names include: Alice, Lauren, Malika (queen) and Jibreel (Gabriel). What do these names have in common?

The interior ministry finds them offensive in one of three ways:

Those that offend perceived religious sensibilities, those that are affiliated to royalty and those that are of non-Arabic or non-Islamic origin.

So long, Sandy of Saudi Arabia. It's been nice knowing you. Here's the full list of Saudi Arabia's banned names. And here are 10 more countries that find it necessary to call the shots when it comes to that fateful day:

1. New Zealand

The official list of rejected names in New Zealand includes "4Real," "Mafia No Fear" and "Anal." Other gems — like "." and "*" — didn't even bother with the alphabet. All of the names on the list were at some point proposed by parents, soon to be rejected by the government, which deemed the names too offensive.

2. Germany

In Germany, you must be able to tell the gender of the child by the first name. "Matti," for instance, was rejected. The name also must not be considered to have a negative impact on the child's well being. An office of vital statistics, called the Standesamt, decides whether or not a name is OK. They have nixed "Stompie," and "Woodstock" as well as last names like "Kohl." "Osama bin Laden"? Not so much.

3. Portugal

Portugal has an 80-page document outlining which names are acceptable and which aren't. For a long time, only biblical or Christian names were allowed. "Nirvana," "Olaf," and "Kennedy" didn't make the cut.

4. Denmark

Denmark has a list of 7,000 pre-approved names. "Anus," "Monkey," and "Pluto" are not on it.

5. Norway

Norway's strict naming law dates from the 1800s, and is intended to protect children from names that sound or look strange, according to the AP. Acceptable names include "Dits," "Fridvall," "Glisur," "Glasius," "Wrold," "Anond," "Raabi," and "Skagj." "Gesher," not so much. A woman actually wound up in jail for two days because she refused to change her child's name from "Gesher" to something else. "Gesher," which is Hebrew for "bridge," came to her in a dream, she said.

6. Sweden

Sweden has thwarted attempts by its citizens to name their kids "Superman," "Metallica," and the roll-off-your-tongue "Brfxxccxxmnpcccclllmmnprxvclmnckssqlbb11116."

7. Morocco

In Morocco, there is a list of approved names that appropriately reflect "Moroccan identity." You can name a baby "Sara" (Arabic version) but not "Sarah," (Hebrew version).

8. Japan

In Japan, only official kanji may be used in babies' given names. The purpose is to make sure all names can be easily read and written by the Japanese. The Japanese also restrict names that might be deemed inappropriate. So there is no more "Akuma," meaning "devil," in case you were wondering.

9. Malaysia

Malaysia tightened up its naming law in 2006 in order to prevent such atrocities as "Hitler," "smelly dog," and "007." Malays can't name their kids "Woti," which means "sexual intercourse," nor can they name their kids after animals, insects, fruits, vegetables, or colors.

10. Iceland

In Iceland, baby names are supposed to fit Icelandic grammar and pronunciation rules — choices like Carolina and Christa are not allowed because the letter "c" is not part of Iceland's alphabet. In January 2013, a 15-year-old girl named "Blaer" won the right to keep her name, which she had been told by authorities wasn't feminine enough.

If you're a man and you're unhappy, you need to read this

 

Many men are depressed and feel useless, but for the need to retain their perceived Masculinity,  they keep these problems to themselves, because really, who can help? The truth is, not many people care about your problems.  Not many people can give you the answers that suit you.

I believe therapy doesn't work for men, because talking things out doesn't really solve much. Not for men at least. Men solve their problems through action. This is how it is, and it will always be.

This is why men lift weights or start businesses after an ended relationship. Men, if you feel broken or depressed, build something. Just talking about your problems makes you repulsive to people because truly,  everyone has problems.

Do you think people are willing to hear your new problems every week?

Women can do this,  but not you. On the rare occasions you do, share them when you're actively working to solve them. This way, people will respect you more.

And you don't become a burden to the next man

Women, this is what you should look for in a man

 Women, this is what you should look for in a man

Trust is important. 

Does he lie?

See how he treats his sisters and mum. This is how you’ll be treated later on.


Does he stick to his word? 

If he doesn’t do what he says he will do, it says a lot about his integrity and loyalty.


Does he pray?

A man who doesn’t pray cannot lead properly. He needs to hear from God to be able to lead you right


Does he have a purpose?

He might not be so rich right now, but if he has a purpose that you can see him diligently pursuing, then support him.

If he’s all talk, but no action, you should rethink.


Is he responsible?

How well does he take care of his family, business, health, pet, or even his room.

His responsibility is what determines if he’ll be able to provide for you and your kids in the future.


Is he masculine?

Does he inspire you to submit? Do you feel safe around him? 

A masculine man is to a feminine woman what a car is to a battery.

This polarity is what brings harmony to relationships


Are you teachable?

One thing men hate is being with a woman who is never ready to listen, learn or take correction.

As smart as you are, you must understand that you won’t always be right

Be his peace, and he’ll make you happy.


It’s not about finding the right man, it’s about being the right woman for the right man.

When dating outside marriage, maintain boundaries, because the more people you open your body to, the less value you have.

Keep yourself pure for the man you’ll marry. 

Men will come, for different reasons 

- Some for casual relationships

- Some with bogus claims that something told them you’re their wife

This is where you need God the most.

Bring these things to him and he’ll guide you.

Trying to pick a woman to marry?

 Do you trust this woman with your life? 

If you can’t tell her your secrets and trust that no matter what happens she'll stand by you, then she's not the one

Once you understand that marriage is forever, and there's no going back, you'll be more intentional about your selection

Don't marry for looks, they fade 

Don't marry for how you feel today,  feelings change 

Don't marry for her body, pregnancy changes that too

Don't marry for her potential, potential is nothing. Judge only from her daily habits.

Marry for her values

Marry for her judgment 

Marry for her humor 

Marry for her kindness

Marry for her femininity 

Marry for her work ethic 

Marry for her nurturing spirit

Marry for her habits 

Marry for her ability to submit to you

Marry for her teachability

Marry for her ability to be prudent

Marry for her ability to support your goals

Marry for her ability to listen to you 

Marry for her wisdom

Marry for her mental toughness 

Marry for her positivity

For men, these are the things that make it easy to love her till you're 90

-This is the woman who will raise your kids.

- This is the woman your daughters will be like.

- This is the woman who will make your house into a home.

Don't marry her because you think you can change her. No one changes in marriage,  they only become more of who they are.

Most of all, work hard to improve yourself because you can only marry a high-quality woman if you're a high-quality man.

When you find a good woman, love her and she'll respect you.

When you find a good woman, be ready to provide and protect her. So she can be present in raising your kids.

When you find a good woman,  take your time to assess her. Don't be in a hurry, make sure she's not faking it.

Take a step back to pray about it. Clear your head, give her some space. 

And when the only response you get after praying about her is peace, then that's your wife.

9 Psychology Lessons You’re NOT Taught In School

 The Brain works in mysterious ways,

but a lot of these mysterious have been deboned by Psychology and Science.

𝟏. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐍𝐨𝐜𝐞𝐛𝐨 𝐄𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐜𝐭 If we truly believe that we are going to experience something, our minds and bodies will follow so. This shows the power of how important it is to master your mind.

𝟐. 𝐁𝐚𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫-𝐌𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐡𝐨𝐟 𝐏𝐡𝐞𝐧𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐨𝐧 (𝐁𝐌𝐏) Have you ever learned a new word and you started to see that word everywhere? This might be the BMP in action.

Our brains are built with a cognitive bias towards things that we recently learned. This new information receives priority over information that we’ve known for years. When you recognize it, your brain makes sure that you see it.

𝟑. 𝐀𝐧𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 When we first learn information, we tend to reflect back on that initial information, once we are faced with a similar situation.

𝟒. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝟖𝟎/𝟐𝟎 𝐏𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐩𝐥𝐞 Also, known as Pareto Principle, is the easiest way to run pop your productivity. This principle states that 80% of the effects come from 20% of the causes.

80% of the money that a business makes, will likely come from 20% of the most loyal, high-paying customers. 80% of the knowledge you retain, comes from only 20% of your study techniques.

𝟓. 𝐋𝐚𝐰 𝐨𝐟 𝐀𝐭𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 It says that we can manifest whatever we focus our thoughts on. If you focus your thoughts on making money, money-making opportunities will present themselves to you.

Your brain is overloaded with billions of things every day, and it has to choose what is important; So what it does is that it offloads the process of finding things to focus on.

𝟔. 𝐒𝐢𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲-𝐀𝐭𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐏𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐩𝐥𝐞 (𝐒𝐀𝐏) SAP says it starts with us. We tend to be attracted to things that are similar to us. We might feel comfortable around people who look like us.

If we become a person that thinks positive things and hold a positive attitude, we will recognize and we’ll be drawn to other positive people and positive opportunities.

𝟕. 𝐒𝐩𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐞𝐨𝐮𝐬 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐭 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 The people listening to us will start associating those traits with us.
If you tell a friend how your co-worker’s amazingly hardworking, your friend will start seeing you with that trait.
So, It’s a good excuse to quit gossiping.

𝟖. 𝐂𝐨𝐠𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 We all grow with an initial perspective. We hold on to these beliefs and attract people who enforce them. But what if we face a contradictory idea?

A situation in which we are faced with 2 perspectives opposing each other. Our brains start feeling very uncomfortable and it’s the kind of pain our brains want to avoid. Instead, it seeks something which brings pleasure. So, you’ll change either your belief or your behavior.

𝟗. 𝐌𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐞 It’s A psychological theory that explains why humans are more comfortable with things they are familiar with.

When you’re introduced to or you heard about something new, you might distance yourself. But once that period of exposure is over, you are more comfortable with the idea.

15 Powerful Thought of the book “The Art of Thinking Clearly”

 



The book was originally written as weekly columns in leading newspapers in Germany, the Netherlands and Switzerland, and later in two German books.

The book has been in the top ten of Germany's Bestseller list for 80 weeks in a row and has been translated in many languages.

1. Never underestimate the hard work and lower probability of success, just because we are shown more successful people than many more actual failures.
It does not mean, in any way, that you should not dream big. It just says that dont get overawed by the number of success stories you read and assume that success would be easy. No one prints the failure stories.

2. Confirmation bias is the mother of all misconceptions. It is a tendency to interpret new information so that it becomes compatible with our existing theories.
Warren Buffet has seen people losing money with this because they ignore facts which contradict the theory in the mind of the investor. Dis-confirming evidence must be seeked out to beat this theory.

3. If you ever find yourself in a tight unanimous group, you must speak your mind, even if your team does not like it, and even if it means risking expulsion from the warm nest.
And if you lead a group, appoint someone as devil's advocate. He or she will not be the most popular member of the team, but definitely the most important.

4. Induction Send an email to 10,000 people with stock market prediction by dividing them into 2 groups - telling reverse prediction to each group. Prediction for one of the groups will come true.
Send a new prediction to the 5,000 whom you predicted correctly earlier - again after dividing them into 2 groups...carry on like this, and the last 100 would consider you as a genius. People get inducted into a decision based on history without thinking logically.

5. Loss Aversion The fear of losing something motivates people more than the prospect of gaining something of equal value.

6. Compounding When it comes to compounding, dont trust your intuition - you have no idea how powerful it is.

7. It is not what you say, but how you say, that's important. 99% Fat Free product seems more healthy than a product with 1% Fat.

8. If you are not a part of the solution, you are definitely a part of the problem. There is no 3rd category of passive onlookers.

9. Follow your passion even if you have to do away with part of your income for that

10. Whenever you are dealing with averages, be careful of the distribution behind it. A Bill Gates monthly income in a group of 50 ordinary citizens can give an extremely misleading average.

11. Money does not always motivate. It works as a motivation only in companies where employees work for only money.

12. Money won incidentally, as against earned through hard work, is more likely to be spent irrationally - though it sounds illogical because the money is the same. This can be prevented if you have a clear financial plan with you.

13. Self Control drains your energy Therefore you need a lot of energy if you want to exercise self control and excel in any specific area of life.

14. Presence of something is more noticeable and valued than its absence. As an example, presence of disease is much more noticeable than its absence. Even, getting off a plane and not noticing that it did not crash is so common.

15. It is appetizing, easy to digest - and highly destructive in the long run. Try and avoid it as much as you can.

10 THINGS CONFIDENT PEOPLE WONT DO

Embracing the behaviors of confident people is a great way to increase your odds for success, which , in turn, will lead to more confidence. 

The science is clear; now you just have to decide to act on it...... 

THEY DON'T MAKE EXCUSES

if there's one trait confident people have in spades, its self-efficacy- the belief that they can make things happen. It's about having an internal locus of control rather than an external one.

Thats why you won't hear confident people blaming traffic for making them late or an unfair boss for their failure to get a promotion. Confident people don't make excuses, because they believe they are in control of their own lives.

THEY DON'T QUIT

confident people don't give up the first time something goes wrong. They see both problems and failures as obstacles to overcome rather than impenetrable barriers to success. That doesn't mean, however, that they keep trying the same thing over and over.

One of the first things confident people do when something goes wrong is to figure out why it went wrong and how they can prevent it the next time.

THEY DON'T WAIT FOR PERMISSION TO ACT

Confident people don't need somebody to tell them what to do or when to do it. They don't waste time asking themselves questions like" Can i?" or "SHOULD I"? If they ask themselves anything, it's 

"Why wouldn't I"?

Whether it's running a meeting when the chairperson doesn't show up or going the extra mile to solve a customer's problem, it doesn't even occur to them to wait for somebody else to take care of it. They see what needs to be done and they do it.

THEY DON'T SEEK ATTENTION

people are turned off by those who are desperate for attention. Confident people know that being yourself is much more effective than trying to prove that you are important.

Confident people are masters of attention diffusion. When they are receiving attention for an accomplishment, they quickly shift the focus to all the people who worked hard to help get them there.

THEY DON'T NEED CONSTANT PRAISE

Have you ever been around somebody who constantly needs to hear how great he or she is? Confident people don't do that. It goes back to that internal locus of control.

They don't think that their success is dependent on other people's approval, and they understand that no matter how well they perform, there's always going to be somebody out there offering nothing but criticism.

THEY DON'T PUT THINGS OFF

Why do people procrastinate?

Because they believe in themselves and expect that their actions will lead them closer to their goals, they don't sit around waiting for the right time or the perfect circumstances.

THEY DONT PASS JUDGEMENT

Confident people don't pass judgement on others because they know that everyone has something to offer, and they don't need to take other people down a notch in order to feel good about themselves. Comparing yourself to other people is limiting.

THEY DON'T AVOID CONFLICT

Confident people don't go along to get along, even when that means having uncomfortable conversations or making unpleasant decisions. They know that conflict is part of life and that they can't avoid it without cheating themselves out of the good stuff, too.

THEY DON'T LET A LACK OF RESOURCES GET IN THEIR WAY

Confident people don't get thrown off course just because they don't have the right title, the right staff, or the money to make things happen. Either they find a way to get what they need, or they figure out how to get by without it.

THEY DON'T GET TOO COMFORTABLE

Confident people understand that getting to comfortable is the mortal enemy of achieving their goals. That's because they know that comfort leads to complacency and complacency leads to stagnation.

When they start feeling comfortable they take that as a big red flag and start pushing their boundaries again so that they can continue to grow as both a person and a professional. They understand that a little discomfort is a good thing.

Not so, but go for it anyway. Every day has to find your courage, no matter how harsh life gets.
