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...

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 ...

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 r...

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 ...

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.

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

Image
  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 ...

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 ...
