Rats, Snitches, Tattletales are Good

By ToeKneeManGo on  From outonlimbs.com
It's time to examine another stupid thing society does: the notion that being a "snitch", a "rat", a "tattletale", or whatever you want to call it, is somehow a negative trait for all involved. Let's get the obvious out of the way. Clearly, the people that are doing bad things are going to look at you negatively if you tell on them. That's nothing to be shocked about.

We focus not on what is wrong, but on ways to help people live up to their potential.” Cheavens said hope differs from optimism and can be taught. "If you feel you know how to get what you want out of life, and you have that desire to make that...Read Full Story

Just Do It

By smithtownds on  From drdeborahserani.blogspot.com
Talking while doing something non-verbal can throw you off. In fact, many athletes believe that being in their hea d too much can disrupt performance - so they focus on the action of the moment. Researchers from the University of Michigan Psychology Department and the University of St. Andrews in Scotland agree. They found that, for some, trying to verbalize a performance distracted the brain by putting the focus on language. This is called verbal overshadowing and has been shown to interfere...Read Full Story
