PREMPEH IN BLACK HISTORY

The American President Donald Trump explains statement against Africans: “If after 50 years of independence you did not build necessary infrastructure for people, are you humans? “If you sit on gold, diamond, oil, manganese, uranium and your people don’t have food are you humans? “If in power, you buy weapons from strangers to kill your citizens, are you humans? “If your social project is to stay in power for life are you human? If you despise and shoot your own citizens like game, who will respect them? If you take all resources for development of your country as your personal property are you humans? If you leave country’s healthcare unattended to treat yourself abroad are you humans? So until your leaders think less of themselves and more about your people. You are not human but animals.” These statements show economic dominance of African nations suffering under cumbersome white exploitations for generations. Past slavery and colonial domination of many generations of Africa usurped by white rulers is responsible for the evils suffered. African resources exchanged for white man’s guns and products seem superior to locally made goods or foods. Imbalance of trade of Africans not paid enough borrow IMF loans to buy more guns. The whites discover the ancestors enslaved many millions of Africans as pretend to be “merchants” or “scientific explorers. Some shocked and horrified by damage done to Africans in history. One cannot inherit enmity and hatred so forgive all because ALMIGHTY GOD IS THE ULTIMATE OWNER AND JUDGE to deal with injustices done to Africans. Its the reason God sent Jesus who is a non white man to sort out injustice on earth. Christ’s root is from Iraq Babylon so Abraham from UR by Nineveh. Jesus is from the Middle East Jewish man who gave His Life to save all to BELIEVE BY FREEWILL CHOICE to love and accept Jesus Christ as their personal Saviour. Caucasians are not the original SOURCE of Christianity. History of missionaries is different but some slave traders incite them like Belgian king kings and queens who sponsored European merchants. Be wise and careful in the response to evil treatment meted out to Africans by the other countries. Do not base your life or faith on hatred to spread fear, anger or discord. Love God and love people and it is best to agree to disagree. Anger and no amount of hatred stops evil people to change to do good but every knee shall bow and every tongue will confess Jesus is Lord. The evil people will face God in judgement as world events show Jesus is coming soon so be ready for Rapture not arguments. Christianity is based in FAITH IN GOD IN CHRIST not fights or arguments. God does not force people to follow HIS SON JESUS YET ALL RICHES, WEALTH BELONG TO GOD. Angry feelings personally is exclusively response to human treatment but know God is patent owner. Insults of exploiter by of spirit of love unity among Africans causes fights over resources takes over. Whites divide and rule conquers Africa with factions led by the West and China. White never apologise for wrongs for it admits responsibility and compensation for underdevelopment of Africa. If they admit they destroyed Africa is admitting guilt for reconstruction. And so Africans will demand compensation for all years duped to RETURN ALL GOODS to them. This will strip West naked so will never do so because if African nations collect resources, artefacts or receive overdue compensation the West will bankrupt. The West remains leech sucking life out of Africa so will never hand over Africa back to the Africans on a silver platter. Africans do not  have the right to insult current white generations in the West, they are not responsible for ancestor’s past actions. Best solution is celebrate your culture, value your life to help and do something good, farm, take care of all old people, cook well and sell natural resources to all Africans fairly to benefit Africa too. The best thing Africans can do is to HELP EACH OTHER. Do not wait for those enjoying your wealth to return it to you, they will never do so. An angry frustrated life will not help you because they will not surrender to you to starve. African leaders tried in the past to unite to defeat them through Organisation Of African Unity (OAU) in vain. Nkrumah, Nelson Mandela, Patrick Lumumba and others were killed or jailed to suppress them. Based on Word of God in Bible all Africans must humble themselves and seek God’s Face repent GOD WILL HEAL THEIR LAND, FORGIVE Africans, return wealth exploited to them. Exploiters do not care about well-being of Africans so don’t try to fight spiritual wickedness in the high places with gun. The African’s battle is the LORD’S so its not a human problem, it is satan’s root of LOVE OF MONEY WHICH IS ROOT OF ALL EVIL. WHAT IS THE WORLD WARS ABOUT? WAS IT NOT OVER DISPUTED TERRITORIES, OTHER PEOPLE’S LANDS AND THEIR RESOURCES? Love pleasure more than LOVE God do not love fellow human beings. Travel the whole world to collect things, resources of everyone, waste it or bury perfectly good foods to deprive and starve other people using food as weapons of population controls. This is witchcraft, no guns or weapons can defeat such history. Anger, hatred, spewed vitriol destroys people, drains, emotionally, wastes time and energy. So do you really think usurpers will return goods when Jesus said the rich exploit others to be richer. Bible in Revelations 19:15-19 says GOD AND JESUS, OWNER OF ALL WEALTH will punish them. Stop anger hatred and do LOVE YOURSELVES even if others hate you. Their insult will not change their mind to love you. And two wrongs does not make things right so call on God to save you from all evil.

👍🏿Think about this and share God loves you.

TRAIN CHILD FOR LIFESKILL

The Bible says train a child in the way they should go so when they grow they will not depart from it. Especially boys are struggling because they do not express their real feelings for fear of being judged weak. This program is wonderful so must continue through teenage years into adulthood. Limited resources must not stop mentoring them at the most critical times in their lives. Like other Science projects of Professor Robert Wilson among others this program must continue for the next few more years so their hard work will not be in vain. This men are doing a great job and need sponsors to extend it further beyond childhood. It will be good to follow up throughout their teenage and adult years so they retain their knowledge and manners. Other peers and friends that come into their lives later without similar training can influence the vulnerable ones. So need help and support of well wishers to continue this program into teenage years, university, training for skills, careers to transition into adult life. Programmes like First University of the Child and Connections in the Secondary Schools enable children to get the right guidance required. In the past projects were limited to 4 years funding if run by government and then changed into another project for the sake of funding conditions. This is not sufficient long term to help them fully grasp life goals for good success. Their contemporaries often get private fundings to develop practical life skills to continue into business men or the chief executives of corporate bodies. While this program is highly valued and appreciated, please let it not be another statistics of 1% success years later because others drifted off. Coach Carter stood by his basketball playing students in their teenage years despite challenges faced. Please continue this hard work into the future so we look forward to more success from this story. Please ask for more help if you need it to support this program. If you can help please do not wait to be asked first because this good success impacts the community and nation as a whole. Well done and God bless you for your sacrifices and precious times devoted to helping these priceless children. Please encourage their reading skills and academic studies too like Coach Carter. EYE CONTACT IS CRUCIAL BECAUSE OTHER CULTURES TEACH CHILDREN OUT OF RESPECT NOT TO LOOK DIRECTLY INTO EYES OF ELDERS. Misunderstood by Western Countries as “lying” unable to keep eye contact, picked on needlessly, harrassed by law enforcement, lacking important knowledge to understand the difference in the upbringing of children by other cultures.

BIBLE ON EATING IN DREAMS

In Acts 10: 13-14 God said to Peter Rise, kill and eat.14 Peter said, no LORD I do not eat anything common, unclean, sacrificed. God used the dream to eat animals as food to tell Peter salvation is for all nations because Jesus sacrificed His life for Gentile, common unclean, defiled, forbidden, people in Mark 7:2 Leviticus 11 and Deuteronomy 14. Food was on Peter’s mind so he dreamt in vision at lunchtime and understood God’s message. The vision is sign from heaven Jews were no longer to call Gentiles unclean. The Jews and Gentiles are grafted in Christ equal to Father God breaking down Peter’s prejudices. Food on Peter’s mind God used to approve foods to eat. The mind replays food in dreams but he understood differences between dreams from God and craving food in dreams. Bible says in Joel people will dream dreams and see visions in the last days to prophesy. God told Peter to kill and eat in a dream message to teach him all people are accepted by God saved. In Acts 10:1-11:18 God gave meaning of dream of eating of the animals to change Peter’s attitude. God gave permission to eat sacred food and animals. God’s food variety signals change to faulty thinking towards people of four corners of the world. God set HIS table before Moses and the 73 elders of Israel to impart God’s Holy Spirit Power to lead HIS people and prophesy in Numbers 11:16-30. The 73 elders near God’s throne in Heaven, Moses’ helpers God approved them, so gave them meat to eat. In the Gospel Jesus fed thousands of people. Check if eating in dream is from God to gain victory over evil foods. God used food to teach Peter to accept Gentiles but the devil copies God using food in dream. Person eating from evil source in dream must get victory over enemy. God supplies food to feed to satisfy stomach of Christians with shining glory so God’s food gives health. Peter’s dream manifested in real life sent to visit Gentiles who received Holy Spirit and were baptised. Jehovah God provides food to nourish body for victory. It food in dreams God gave to Joseph to save the whole world. Eating in dream can affect breakthrough if food stops spiritual growth,  stunting life. As serpent fed Adam and Eve apple in daytime to disobey God to separate them from God’s rich, abundant supply in Garden of Eden. The devil wants Christians to miss out on plans and purposes of God in their lives. Dreams in real life can bring joy, sorrow, pain or death. Colossians 1:13 says God delivered us from “powers of darkness and translated us into Kingdom of HIS dear Son Jesus Christ.” God’s Power in Psalm 11:3 stops enemy attack to reach God. Dreams of food from God to Joseph delivered a nation from seven year’s famine. God revealed to Joseph his future in dreams. Joseph dreamt his parents and siblings binding sheaves of grain in field his sheaf up sibling’s sheaves bow to Joseph.” Joseph given coat of many colours by Jacob shows Joseph’s sovereignty and leadership over all his other sons. In a patriarchal age, Semitic chiefs wore coats of many colours an insignia of rulership. Jacob didn’t foresee negative effect sibling rivalry. Favouritism of Joseph made his father Jacob a victim of the dysfunctional family. Rebecca favoured Jacob his father Isaac favourite Jacob’s older brother Esau. Its caused animosity between these two brothers. Jacob did not learn from his parents’ mistakes. Jacob’s mistakes of his unhealthy parent-child relationships affects many generations today. God gave Joseph a gift dreams and interpretations. The dreams reveals Joseph’s future exalted position. But his sharing dreams with his brothers fueled their jealousy. Already angry their father’s favourite son of his favourite wife Rachel, Joseph needed to learn humility. He gained it in painful, difficult trials God positioned him to fulfill. Jacob sent Joseph to check on brothers watching sheep His jealous siblings plotted to kill Joseph. Reuben protests told them throw Joseph into a pit so secretly will rescue him later. Reuben was away so could not save Joseph. Judah said sell him to the Muslim Ishmaelite caravan traders. Sinlingd said to him, “Do you intend to reign over us? After a dream his father Sun, mother moon, siblings stars bowed to Joseph’s sheaves of grain in Genesis 37:9-28. Hid dreams came true in Egypt Joseph became Prime Minister so his brothers went to buy food grain from Joseph years later. In Genesis 41 the king of Egypt dreamt standing by Nile River. 2 Saw seven fat healthy cows from the river eating grass along bank. 3 Seven ugly, skinny cows out of river 4 ate the fat healthy cows. Then the king woke up. 5 The king slept again in a second dream saw seven full heads of grain stalks. 6 Seven heads of thin grains swallow 7 seven full heads so king woke up. Joseph dreamt grains bowed to his grain by family. Joseph interpretes dream of grain and cows to king as famine to prepare against. King’s dreams of lean cows swallow fat cows stock up food as Joseph said. Joseph’s family move to Egypt from Canaan Israel due to a famine. God used Joseph’s food grain dreams to save his family so siblings bowed to Joseph. Food grain dream real in their lives Joseph was in Egypt. Food dream Joseph told butler in jail: three clusters of grapes of wine for Pharaoh came true. Joseph told butler in three days released from jail will serve Pharaoh wine. Happened three days by power of God back to his job so made wine served at Pharaoh’s birthday party. Joseph told the butler to tell Pharaoh of his innocence he forgot him. The baker in jail dreamt three baskets of bread baked for Pharaoh on his head a top basket fed birds. Joseph said, in three days released from jail his head cut off happened birds ate his corpse. God’s message of death of baker was food he dreamt about. God used dream to warn baker of death not a prestigious job. As Pharaohs baker in palace his life was cut short ruined by birds eatinb his bread in the dream. Change required to be set free from the past is repent by God’s forgiveness. Don’t judge your parents so forgive their mistakes they had to put with you. Eternal Spiritual new beginning is in freedom Jesus Messiah .No food harms in dream as Bible says if you eat any poison it will not harm you in Mark 16:18. Food dreams from God gives message or warnings to a person or a nation’s future. People hungry dream of eating Peter dreamt of food when he was very hungry, God used food to give him an assignment. If a person sleeps hungry he dreams of food and people dream of food when fasting. If food on their mind dream of favourite food, meat or meals to eat. God answers prayer gives exact foods in real life. Isaiah 29:8 says if a hungry man dreams he eats but wakes up empty; drinks but is thirsty, hunger is not satisfied or thirst quenched. Jeremiah 29:8 says, LORD God of Israel warns don’t let prophets or diviners to deceive you to fear dreams. Joseph’s dreams from God warned people against famine and they stocked up food in Egypt. God’s dreams bless as God told Peter to eat in Acts 10:9-15. Christ Jesus sanctifies us by the word of God and prayer no weapon formed against you will prosper from dreams in real life. God reveals enemy’s plans so all tongues rising against you in judgment is condemned in Jesus Name. This is the heritage of servants of the LORD’S righteousness. In Luke 10:19 God gives POWER to tread on serpents and scorpions and all power of enemies nothing will hurt you. God gives meanings of dreams. Confess sins, repent and be delivered from dream sent to hurt you. Bakers dream in jail warned him about Nebuchadnezzar’s dream in Daniel 4. In Mark 9:29 says fast to ensure your dreams manifests in good ways. Joseph prayed for meanings of dreams. Your life is to advertise Jesus as living sermon in Christ. The blood of Jesus in Revelation 12:11 cleans evil food dreams. Monitor dreams, soak your body, soul, spirit in the blood of Jesus, praise and worship God, confess all sin, repent and forsake sin. Ask God to forgive your sins in His mercy pray to overcome negative dream. God used dreams to speak to Babylon kings. In Daniel 4:20-37, Nebuchadnezzar dreamt and saw a large tree reaching heaven and seen in the whole earth. 21 It had beautiful leaves, fruits, provided food for people and shelter to wild animals, nesting birds. 22 The tree extended into all parts of the earth. 23 God said, ‘cut tree down, leave stump bound with iron in field and root in the ground. 24 The most High God is against the king 25 is driven to live with wild animals to eat grass like ox with dew. After seven years humbled, God put him over all kingdoms on earth. 26 The stump of the tree his kingdom was restored after repentance. 27 God forgave him as he renounced sin. 28 God blessed King Nebuchadnezzar. 29 But due to pride he said in the palace in Babylon 30 The great Babylon and royal residence was built by his mighty power. 31 Nebuchadnezzar’s royal authority was taken from him. 32 So driven to live with animals to eat grass as ox seven years. God Almighty Most High Sovereign is LORD over all kingdoms on the earth. 33 Nebuchadnezzar ate grass like ox. His body drenched in dew of heaven his hair feathers of eagle, nails like claws of birds. 34 After  seven years Nebuchadnezzar’s sanity was restored. He honoured and glorified God who lives forever, God’s dominion of eternal kingdom endures generation to generations.
35 God does what HE pleases in heaven none tells HIM what to do. 36 Nebuchadnezzar’s sanity was restored, glorified God. Advisers and nobles sought him restored to throne. 37 Nebuchadnezzar praised and exalted God King of heaven. All who walk in pride God humbled. God’s large tree fed the nations but Nebuchadnezzar thought he was powerful without God. Lord Jesus humbled Himself to save us pray dreams don’t destroy you. Ask God to restore years locusts, cankerworm, caterpillar, palmerworm ate in Jesus Name. God forgives arrogant people. The BLOOD of Jesus washes evil dreams in Jesus Name. And reject evil dreams ask the LORD for POWER over enemy to command evil to loose hold over your life in Jesus Name.

Pride hurts others so ask Father God to stop evil food dreams in Jesus Name, household powers using food in dreams in Jesus Name. Food against life, destiny, scatter by fire in Jesus Name. LORD as I drink water evil foods in body flush out by the BLOOD of Jesus. LORD purge evil food effect in life and family in Jesus Name. I break evil covenants, satanic foods against progress and marriage by BLOOD of Jesus in Jesus Name. Joseph prayed for the baker but his job was not restored or his life spared. The butler got his job back to serve Pharaoh. Both had food dreams the butler made it, but baker didn’t, perished. Joseph prayed with both but not pardoned by Pharaoh. To live is Christ to die gains Christ. He died but will live in eternal life in Jesus Name. Dreams of butler, baker of foods and drinks restores or destroys life.

In other’s eyes my life is epitome of good success. However, aside from work, I have little joy. In the end, wealth is only a fact of life that I am accustomed to. At this moment, lying on the sick bed and recalling my whole life, I realize all the recognition and wealth I took so much pride in have all paled in comparison because now life became meaningless in the face of impending death. You can employ someone to drive the car for you, make money for you but you cannot have someone to bear the sickness for you. The material things lost can be found. But there is one thing never found when lost is “Life.” And the person fulfilling precious family times goes to places to created fond memories in appreciation of priceless valued lives. If not otherwise years later in operating room realizes that there is one book has yet to finish reading called, “The Book of Healthy Life.” Whichever stage of life in right now, with time, do not wait until it is too late to faced the day when the life curtain comes down. Treasure Love for your family, love for your spouse, love for your friends and Treat yourself well. Cherish others. Growing older, became wiser and slowly realize that wearing a $300 or $30 watch both tell the same time in that specified location. Whether carrying $3000 or $3 wallet or handbag the amount of money inside is the same. Whether driving a $150,000 car or $300 car the road and distance is the same so both get to the same destination. And whether one drinks a bottle of $300 or $10 wine the hangover is the same. And whether the house lived in is 3000 sq ft or 300 sq ft, loneliness is the same. You will realize, your true inner happiness does not come from the material things of this world. Jesus said that a man’s life does not consist of material possessions.Whether you fly first or economy class, in the plane you both arrive at the same time. You realize, when you have mates, buddies, friends, brothers, sisters, and family you chat with, laugh or talk with, sing songs and dance with or help each whether living north-south-east-west or in heaven or here on earth, That is true happiness!!!

Five Undeniable Facts of Life :
1. Don’t educate your children only to be rich to buy and sell. Educate them to be Happy. So when they grow up they will know the priceless value of life too not just the price of material things.

2. Best words in Bible, “Let your food be your medicines. Otherwise you have to eat medicines as your food.”

3. Those who love you never leave you because despite 100 reasons to give up on you they find one reason to hold on.

4. There is a big difference between a human being and being human. Only a few really understand it.

5. You are loved when born. You will be loved when you die. In between, learn to love God, others and yourself!

NOTE: If you want to Walk Fast, Walk Alone! But if you want to Go Far in life you join others go Walk Together!

The Six Best Doctors in the World to help maintain a better life in all stages of Life and enjoy a healthy life are:
1. Sunlight
2. Rest
3. Exercise
4. Diet
5. Self Confidence and
6. Friends

 

DO NOT READ THE NEWS?

Billy Graham said, read the Bible and watch the Bible unfold in the news. The news is full of global events setting the stage towards fulfilment of Rapture and Armageddon. Updates everyday reveals the contents of the Bible from Genesis to Revelation precisely as Jesus foretold. It is also written in the Bible that the truth you know sets you free. So those free in God in Christ see the signs and wonders of the supernatural events testifying of God’s Glory in majestic created universe and firmament. Weather forecasts and storms, flood warnings, fire risks, other warnings to the world are relayed constantly throughout the day to alert people. Various channels also provide documentaries to educate the public and provide entertainment. Publicity generated by news creates awareness for injustices all over the work to make people bring change.Although the news is at times repetitive news of exact words repeated every 15-30 minutes overwhelming but ensures people are alerted, updated, reminded of more breaking news. Some however find the news irrelevant so are advising people not to watch news at all to prevent fear mongering. They argue “In the past few decades, the fortunate have recognised the hazards of living with an overabundance of food (obesity, diabetes) so started to change diets. But most do not understand news is to the mind what sugar is to the body. News is easy to digest so media feeds small bites of trivial matter, tidbits that don’t really concern lives or don’t require thinking. So experience no saturation unlike the reading of books and the long magazine articles (which require thinking). The limitless quantities of news flashes are bright-coloured candies for mind. Today reached same point in relation to global information faced 20 years ago similar in regard to food. People are beginning to recognise how toxic news can be:News misleads. For example following an event of a car driving over a bridge, and if bridge collapses, the news media focuses on the car, person in car, where from, journey etc not the structural root causes of instability of the bridge. That’s underlying risk lurking or lurk in other bridges. The car is flashy, dramatic and a person in the news cheap to produce.’ News leads ‘misleads’ with completely wrong risk map in heads. Some news are over-rated. Chronic stress is under-rated. The collapse of Lehman Brothers is overrated. Fiscal irresponsibility is under-rated. Astronauts are over-rated. Nurses are under-rated it continued.

Media brief news makers

Article also said, some are ‘not rational enough if exposed to press. Watching an airplane crash on television changes an attitude toward that risk, regardless of its real probability. Bankers, economists with powerful incentives to compensate news-borne hazards could not prevent the credit crunch. So said, ‘cut yourself off from news consumption entirely. To advise people to boycott news totally is not possible because lives are saved by the dedicated services of newsmakers. Everyone has their own perspectives in life so entitled to their opinions, views or dimension of relevant suitable news If anyone feels strongly influenced to an extent of depression then it is better not spend whole day watching the news. In life moderation is required and so quick check of the weather forecast help the people to dress suitably, if they need an umbrella from rain, wind or the storm causing hazards warning drivers to be careful on roads. The media educates the public to warn of spread of diseases and where to avoid. So the news is not just exclusively consistently bad news. One has options to change the channel or switch it off if too busy at times. With unpredictable weather, storms tsunami, or fires, news becomes available source of information during crises to alert and save lifes. The Christian Channel News is available teaching and explaining the endtime signs and wonders to preapare people to store food, water and blankets or essentials before disaster happens.

News is irrelevant. In approximately 10,000 news stories read in the last 12 months, name one that allowed you to make a better decision about a serious matter affecting your life, your career or your business. To them consumption of news is irrelevant but people find it very difficult to recognise so. It’s much easier to recognise what’s new, relevant versus new is the fundamental battle of the current age. So Media organisations want people to believe ‘news offers the sort of competitive advantage many fall for.’ Get anxious if cut off from flow of news consumption as a competitive disadvantage. The less news consumed, the bigger advantage one has they said.

News has no explanatory power. News items bubbles popping on surface of a deeper world is accumulating facts but not helpful to understand world in their opinion. “Relationship is inverted so important stories are non-stories and slow, and powerful movements develop below journalist radar has transforming effect. The more ‘news factoids’ digested the less of bigger picture is understood.” If more information leads to the higher economic success, journalists will be at top of the pyramid. That’s not the case.” Journalists not relay news from various places in all weathers risking life to tell world stories affecting lives. Journalists do not vlog their personal lives in news as the YouTube videos do.

News is toxic to body. It constantly triggers limbic system. Panicky stories spur release of cascades, glucocorticoid (cortisol). This deregulates the immune system and inhibits release of growth hormones. So body in a state of chronic stress. High glucocorticoid levels causes indigestion, lack of growth of cells, hair, bone, nervousness and susceptibility to infections. A potential side-effect causes fear aggression, tunnel-vision and also desensitisation and lethargy.

News increases cognitive errors. News feeds cognitive error towards the confirmation bias. Warren Buffett: said “What the human being is best at doing is interpreting all new information so their prior conclusions remain intact.” News exacerbates this flaw to become prone to overconfidence, to take stupid risks and misjudge opportunities. It also exacerbates a cognitive error story bias. Brains crave stories “make sense,” even if they don’t correspond to reality. Any journalists who writes, “market moved because of X” or a is company bankrupt because of Y” is cheap “explanation” to the world they also stated in the article.News inhibits thinking. Since thinking requires concentration, concentration requires uninterrupted time. The News is specifically engineered to interrupt so like “viruses distract attention for own purposes. The News makes some people shallow thinkers but worse than that, it severely affects memory. There are two types of memory. Long-range memory’s capacity is nearly infinite, but working memory is limited to a certain amount of slippery data. The short-term to long-term memory for brain to understand passes through it. If brain passageway is disrupted nothing gets through. Because news disrupts concentration, it weakens comprehension. Online news has worse impact. In a 2001 study two scholars in Canada showed that the comprehension declines as the number of hyperlinks in a document increases. Whenever a link appears the brain makes the choice not to click so distracting. News interrupts the system of focus and concentration.

News works like a drug. Ongoing story develops so people want to know how they continued. Hundreds of arbitrary storylines in a head craves increasingly compelling information hard to ignore. Scientists thought dense connections in brain formed in the 100 billion neurons inside skulls were largely fixed by time one reached adulthood. But nerve cells routinely break old connection forming new ones. As more news is consumed the neural circuits devoted to skimming and multitasking ignores reading skills for deep thinking and profound focus. Most news consumers even if avid book readers lost ability to absorb lengthy articles or books. After four, five pages get tired, concentration vanishes, and restless. Not because older or schedules or more onerous but physical structure of their brains changed from the news.”

News wastes time. Read newspaper for 15 minutes each morning, check news for 15 minutes during lunch and then 15 minutes before going to bed, add five minutes here and there when at work, then count distraction and refocusing time loses half day a week. Information is no longer scarce commodity attention is. If responsible with money and health or reputation health why not the mind?

News makes some passive. The News stories overwhelmingly about things one cannot influence by daily repetition not acted upon makes some passive. It grinds down until adopts the worldview pessimistic, desensitized, sarcastic and fatalistic. The scientific term is “learned helplessness.”So not surprised if a news consumption, partially contributes to the widespread disease of depression.

News kills creativity. Finally, the news limits creativity. Great mathematicians, novelists, composers and entrepreneurs often produce their most creative works at a young age. Their brains enjoy wide, uninhabited space that emboldens them to come up to pursue novel ideas. There is no single truly creative mind who is a news junkie not a writer, not composer, mathematician, physician or a scientist, musician, designer, architect or painter. But viciously uncreative mind consume news like drugs si come up with just old solutions by reading the news. However those looking for new solutions they said do not listen to the news.

Its necessary society has journalism in a different way especially investigative journalism is relevant. Reporting news on policies, institutions, uncovers truth. But the important findings do not have to arrive in form of news. Long journal articles or in-depth books are good too.

The writer of the article said, has gone without news for 4 years so sees, feels and reports effects of freedom from the first-hand: less disruption, less anxiety, deeper thinking, more time and insight. Concludes its not easy, but it’s worth it.

In the past few decades, the fortunate among us have recognised the hazards of living with an overabundance of food (obesity, diabetes) and have started to change our diets. But most of us do not yet understand that news is to the mind what sugar is to the body. News is easy to digest. The media feeds us small bites of trivial matter, tidbits that don’t really concern our lives and don’t require thinking. That’s why we experience almost no saturation. Unlike reading books and long magazine articles (which require thinking), we can swallow limitless quantities of news flashes, which are bright-coloured candies for the mind. Today, we have reached the same point in relation to information that we faced 20 years ago in regard to food. We are beginning to recognise how toxic news can be.

News misleads. Take the following event (borrowed from Nassim Taleb). A car drives over a bridge, and the bridge collapses. What does the news media focus on? The car. The person in the car. Where he came from. Where he planned to go. How he experienced the crash (if he survived). But that is all irrelevant. What’s relevant? The structural stability of the bridge. That’s the underlying risk that has been lurking, and could lurk in other bridges. But the car is flashy, it’s dramatic, it’s a person (non-abstract), and it’s news that’s cheap to produce. News leads us to walk around with the completely wrong risk map in our heads. So terrorism is over-rated. Chronic stress is under-rated. The collapse of Lehman Brothers is overrated. Fiscal irresponsibility is under-rated. Astronauts are over-rated. Nurses are under-rated.

We are not rational enough to be exposed to the press. Watching an airplane crash on television is going to change your attitude toward that risk, regardless of its real probability. If you think you can compensate with the strength of your own inner contemplation, you are wrong. Bankers and economists – who have powerful incentives to compensate for news-borne hazards – have shown that they cannot. The only solution: cut yourself off from news consumption entirely.

News is irrelevant. Out of the approximately 10,000 news stories you have read in the last 12 months, name one that – because you consumed it – allowed you to make a better decision about a serious matter affecting your life, your career or your business. The point is: the consumption of news is irrelevant to you. But people find it very difficult to recognise what’s relevant. It’s much easier to recognise what’s new. The relevant versus the new is the fundamental battle of the current age. Media organisations want you to believe that news offers you some sort of a competitive advantage. Many fall for that. We get anxious when we’re cut off from the flow of news. In reality, news consumption is a competitive disadvantage. The less news you consume, the bigger the advantage you have.

News has no explanatory power. News items are bubbles popping on the surface of a deeper world. Will accumulating facts help you understand the world? Sadly, no. The relationship is inverted. The important stories are non-stories: slow, powerful movements that develop below journalists’ radar but have a transforming effect. The more “news factoids” you digest, the less of the big picture you will understand. If more information leads to higher economic success, we’d expect journalists to be at the top of the pyramid. That’s not the case.

News inhibits thinking. Thinking requires concentration. Concentration requires uninterrupted time. News pieces are specifically engineered to interrupt you. They are like viruses that steal attention for their own purposes. News makes us shallow thinkers. But it’s worse than that. News severely affects memory. There are two types of memory. Long-range memory’s capacity is nearly infinite, but working memory is limited to a certain amount of slippery data. The path from short-term to long-term memory is a choke-point in the brain, but anything you want to understand must pass through it. If this passageway is disrupted, nothing gets through. Because news disrupts concentration, it weakens comprehension. Online news has an even worse impact. In a 2001 study two scholars in Canada showed that comprehension declines as the number of hyperlinks in a document increases. Why? Because whenever a link appears, your brain has to at least make the choice not to click, which in itself is distracting. News is an intentional interruption system.

News works like a drug. As stories develop, we want to know how they continue. With hundreds of arbitrary storylines in our heads, this craving is increasingly compelling and hard to ignore. Scientists used to think that the dense connections formed among the 100 billion neurons inside our skulls were largely fixed by the time we reached adulthood. Today we know that this is not the case. Nerve cells routinely break old connections and form new ones. The more news we consume, the more we exercise the neural circuits devoted to skimming and multitasking while ignoring those used for reading deeply and thinking with profound focus. Most news consumers – even if they used to be avid book readers – have lost the ability to absorb lengthy articles or books. After four, five pages they get tired, their concentration vanishes, they become restless. It’s not because they got older or their schedules became more onerous. It’s because the physical structure of their brains has changed.

News wastes time. If you read the newspaper for 15 minutes each morning, then check the news for 15 minutes during lunch and 15 minutes before you go to bed, then add five minutes here and there when you’re at work, then count distraction and refocusing time, you will lose at least half a day every week. Information is no longer a scarce commodity. But attention is. You are not that irresponsible with your money, reputation or health. Why give away your mind?

News makes us passive. News stories are overwhelmingly about things you cannot influence. The daily repetition of news about things we can’t act upon makes us passive. It grinds us down until we adopt a worldview that is pessimistic, desensitised, sarcastic and fatalistic. The scientific term is “learned helplessness”. It’s a bit of a stretch, but I would not be surprised if news consumption, at least partially contributes to the widespread disease of depression.

News kills creativity. Finally, things we already know limit our creativity. This is one reason that mathematicians, novelists, composers and entrepreneurs often produce their most creative works at a young age. Their brains enjoy a wide, uninhabited space that emboldens them to come up with and pursue novel ideas. I don’t know a single truly creative mind who is a news junkie – not a writer, not a composer, mathematician, physician, scientist, musician, designer, architect or painter. On the other hand, I know a bunch of viciously uncreative minds who consume news like drugs. If you want to come up with old solutions, read news. If you are looking for new solutions, don’t.

Society needs journalism – but in a different way. Investigative journalism is always relevant. We need reporting that polices our institutions and uncovers truth. But important findings don’t have to arrive in the form of news. Long journal articles and in-depth books are good, too.

I have now gone without news for four years, so I can see, feel and report the effects of this freedom first-hand: less disruption, less anxiety, deeper thinking, more time, more insights. It’s not easy, but it’s worth it.

GAME ADDICTION DISORDER

Gaming addiction classified as disorder by WHO – World Health Organisation. An article by Jane WakefieldTechnology reporter according to Oxford University study states that boys are more likely to spend time gaming than girls. Gaming addiction is to be listed as mental health condition for the first time by the World Health Organisation. 11th International Classification of Diseases (ICD) includes the condition “gaming disorder.” The draft document describes it as a pattern of a persistent and a recurrent gaming behaviour so severe it takes precedence over other life interests. Some countries already identified it as a major public health issue. Many, including UK, have private addiction clinics to “treat” the condition. The last version of the ICD was completed in 1992, with the new guide due to be published in 2018. The guide contains codes for diseases, signs and symptoms and is used by doctors and researchers to track and diagnose disease. It suggests abnormal gaming behaviour should be in evidence over a period of 12 months for diagnosis to be assigned but added that period might be shortened “if symptoms are severe.”

Gaming Addiction Symptoms include:

• impaired control over gaming (frequency, intensity, duration)
• increased priority given to gaming
• continuing escalation of gaming despite negative consequences

Dr Richard Graham, lead technology addiction specialist at the Nightingale Hospital in London, welcomed decision to recognise condition. It is significant because it creates the opportunity for more specialised services. It puts it on the map as something to take seriously.” But he added he would have sympathy for those who do not think the condition should be medicated. “It could lead to confused parents whose children are enthusiastic gamers.” He said he sees about 50 new cases of digital addiction each year and his criteria is based on whether the activity is affecting basic things such as sleep, eating, socializing and education. He said one question he asks himself is: “Is the addiction taking up neurological real-estate, dominating thinking and preoccupation?” So many psychiatrists refer to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM), the fifth edition of which was published in 2013. The Internet gaming disorder listed as ‘condition for further study’ meaning not officially recognised as controversial matters are assigned. It will have serious repercussions if the gaming industry accepts responsibility. If families sue them the businesses will collapse as multibillion industries.

Gaming is introduced to young children before forming prefrontal cortex brain so damage is done through radiation too. Many are absent-minded, aloof, not in the here and now able to experience the common sense needed for survival. Extreme cases often display a psychotic pattern of behaviour. Hallucinations if under stress, pressure or struggling to keep down job due to gaming addiction. Lots of countries are grappling with the issue and the South Korean government has introduced a law banning access for children under 16 from online games between midnight and 06:00. In Japan, players are alerted if they spend more than a certain amount of time online each month playing games. In China, internet giant Tencent has limited hours that children can play its most popular games. A recent study from University of Oxford suggested, although children spend a lot of time on the screens, they generally manage to intertwine digital pastimes with daily life. The research is looking at children aged eight to 18 and found boys spent longer playing video games than girls. Researcher Killian Mullan said: “People think that children are addicted to technology and in front of these screens 24/7, to the exclusion of other activities and we now know that is not the case.” “Our findings show technology is being used with and in some cases perhaps to support other activities, like homework for instance, not pushing them out,” he added. “Like adults do, children spread digital tech use throughout the day, while doing other things.” This issue is ongoing yet gamers become professional gamers, game designers or Internet experts.

However, majority are struggling with school and college work, frustrated, angry, manifest withdrawal symptoms from multiple addictions of high sugar, E chemicals in food, poor decision-making abilities, with stunted growth spurt development stuck in the childish mindset from the age of onset of gaming. Unable to enjoy free mind to grow as previous generations exploring outdoors daily for long hours. Getting a fresh air, physical exercises playing and interacting with friends. Many now live isolated detached lives in their bubble world cocooned in a virtual reality. The years of repeated gaming addiction now affect even basic communication and the social conversations. With majority of school, college, work and the world turning into virtual online lifestyle it is even damaging their health too. Like an issue that is not solved quickly, it leads to aggressive behaviour, sometimes tensions in families. Expecting for such future generations to grow up and take on the responsibilities and duty of care is getting worse. Som parents continue to ‘ raise’ adult children traumatized by gaming addiction and dark web porn. It is an expensive industry where games cost so much causing bad habits as big spenders on games wasting money that could be saved to buy or own home. So become dependent on parents as the bank of mum and dad. Domino effect is serious and even more dangerous when parents lack knowledge and awareness of gaming addiction. Treatment is hard because they are prone to using online facility for study, work shopping, social interaction often tired and lethargic.

Many need other hobbies especially outdoors like football hockey, biking, swimming or a practical outdoor volunteer centre to help others to learn practical life skills. In any case this generation faces challenges making choices and decisions even harder and harder everyday by gaming addiction. Often starts as fun time to relax, then it escalates into complex issues. Some children used parent’s bank accounts to run thousands of dollars worth of debts due to gaming addiction. Schools must teach dangers of gaming addiction as part of general knowledge awareness. When children are young parents must not buy expensive games because all the friends have one and they feel left out.  Looking back some parents would have been better off investing a gaming money into extra tuition funds to help a child do better academically. Or pay for music, piano lessons to calm children and learn vital skills. Games change so rapidly that it becomes a life time habit not a phase to grow out of. This is a serious matter to be dealt with globally because it affects children in formative years and influences their thought and worldview. In addition some contents are completely unsuitable for children yet parents unaware of such dangers. Encourage reading skills from with real books they can hold first before ebooks or online ones. Computers are good and useful but can cause harm to children if not used properly under supervision. If parents do not know how to computers take basic lessons to learn safety, adult and child security online and upgrade often to learn new skills to help your children before it becomes too late so turn into gaming addiction disorder.

MANKIND’S ROBOT FRIENDS

Mankind faces upheaval of robot trends in hotels, airports, hospitals and homes. There is a strong argument in favour of advantages of using machines that now replace people in industries, factories or personal carers at home. The shortage of staff in underpopulated regions with the aged requiring care are some of the arguments used. Modern trend demand people adapt and get used to machines or miss out. In 1998, Kodak had 170,000 employees and sold 85% of photo paper worldwide. Within a few years their business model disappeared and they went bankrupt. Interestingly inventor of digital photography in 1975 Steven Sasson worked for Kodak but Kodak ignored the new technology and in the process ignored their future!! Some say what happened to Kodak will happen in a lot of industries in the next 10 years and most people don’t see it coming.Did you think in 1998 that 3 years later you would never take pictures on paper film again? Yet digital cameras were invented in 1975. The first ones had 10,000 pixels, but followed Moore’s law. As with all exponential technologies, it was a disappointment for a long time, before it became way superior and got mainstream in a few short years. It will now happen with Artificial Intelligence, health, autonomous and electric cars, education, 3D printing, agriculture and jobs in the 4th Industrial Revolution. So the Exponential Age, Software will also disrupt the most traditional industries in the next 5-10 years. Uber software tool does not own cars but the biggest taxi company in the world. Airbnb is the biggest hotel company in the world, although they don’t own any properties.Artificial Intelligence Computers said to be exponentially better understanding the world. This year, a computer beat the best Go player in the world 10 years earlier than expected. In the US, young lawyers not getting jobs. Due to IBM Watson you can get a legal advice so far for more on a basic stuff within seconds with the 90% accuracy compared with 70% accuracy when done by humans. If you study law it is good to immediately think about areas of specialisation. People say there will be 90% fewer lawyers in future so only specialists will remain. Watson already helps nurses diagnosing cancer, 4 times more accurate than human nurses. And Facebook now has a pattern recognition software that can recognize faces better than humans. By 2030, computers will become more intelligent than humans.Autonomous Cars: in 2018 the first self-driving cars will appear for the public. Around 2020, the complete industry will start to be disrupted. Some don’t want to own a car anymore since you will call a car with your phone, it will show up at your location and drive you to your destination. You will not need to park it, you only pay for driven distance and it can be productive while driving. Future kids may never get driver’s license and never own a car. So it will change cities, because will need 90-95% fewer cars for that. So can transform former parking space into parks. 1.2 million people die each year in car accidents worldwide. It says one accident in every 100,000 km, with autonomous driving that will drop to one accident in 10 million km. That will save a million lives each year..Most car companies may become bankrupt. Traditional car companies evolutionary approach builds better cars, while tech companies Tesla, Apple, Google will do the revolutionary approach and build a computer on wheels. A lot of engineers from Volkswagen and Audi are said to be completely terrified of Tesla.Insurance Companies will have massive trouble because without accidents, the insurance will become 100x cheaper. Their car insurance business model will disappear. Real estate will change since you can work while you commute, and people will move further away to live in more beautiful neighbourhood. Electric cars won’t become mainstream until 2020. Cities will be less noisy because all cars will run on electric. Electricity will be incredibly cheap because now Solar production has been on an exponential curve for 30 years so will see impact. In the last year, solar energy was installed worldwide than fossil. So price for solar will drop so much all coal companies may be out of business by 2025. Cheap electricity means cheap and abundant water. Desalination only needs 2kWh per cubic meter. We don’t have scarce water in most places, we only have scarce drinking water. Imagine what will be possible if all can have as much clean water as wanted without cost.Health: There will be companies that will build a medical devices called the “Tricorder” from Star Trek that works with phone, takes retina scan, blood sample and breathed into. It analyses 54 biomarkers that will identify nearly any disease. It will be cheap, in a few years everyone on this planet will have access to world class medicine, nearly for free. 3D printing price of cheapest 3D printer came down from $18,000 to $400 within 10 years. At the same time its 100 times faster. All major shoe companies started 3D printing shoes. Spare airplane parts already 3D printed in remote airports. The space station printer eliminates the need for large number of spare parts used in the past. By end of this year new smart phones will have the 3D scanning possibilities. You can then 3D scan your feet and print perfect shoe size at home.In China, already 3D printed completed 6-storey office building. By 2027, 10% of everything that’s being produced will be 3D printed. Business Opportunities now mean if you think of a niche you want to go in, ask yourself: “in the future, do you think we will still have that?” and if answer is yes how can it happen sooner. If it doesn’t work with phone, forget the idea. And ideas limited in design for just success in the 20th century is doomed in to failure in the 21st century. Workers with 70-80% of jobs will disappear in the next 20 years. There will be a lot of new jobs, but it is not clear if there will be enough new jobs that time. Already unemployment is rising in terms of the people getting appropriate relevant job.Agriculture will have $100 agricultural robot in future. Farmers in 3rd world countries can then become managers of their field instead of working all days on their fields. And agroponics will also need much less water. The first Petri dish produced veal is now available and will be cheaper than cow-produced veal in 2018. 30% of all agricultural surfaces are used for cows so imagine if we don’t need all that space anymore. There are several startups to bring insect protein to the market shortly. It contains more protein than meat. It will be labeled as ‘alternative protein source’ because most people still reject the idea of eating insects. There is an app call “moodies” which can already tell in which mood you are. By 2020 there will be apps that can tell by facial expressions if one is lying. Imagine debates displayed when people tell the truth or not. Bitcoin will be mainstream and might even become the default reserve currency. Right now, average life span increases by 3 months per year. Four years ago, the life span used to be 79 years, now it’s 80 years. The increase itself is increasing and by 2030, there will be more than one year increase per year. So we all might live for a long long time, probably way more than 100. By that time the elites will have a secondary Brain embedded close to both sides of their fronto-temporal scalp it stores information about their experiences books they read what they heard etc through a High Def Camera below the eyelids. Those who can afford it forgetfulness is a past phenomenon.Advanced stem cell technology will also allow “choosing” own organs or replace defective ones early. Life expectancy will be around 115 to 125 yrs in most of developed world and around 100 years in the rest of the world. Education: The cheapest smart phones are already at $10 in Africa and Asia. Until 2020, 70% of all humans will own a smart phone. That means, everyone has same access to world class education. Are you ready for the future. With so much benefits of progress agreed, question is what shall be done with the unemployed humans displaced? Some say the available free time means all will all be on holidays. It will indeed be wonderful to put feet up to let hair down to enjoy life. So robots and machines do all the work and serve humans. A few humans program these robots so intervene when required. Yet the reality of the mass unemployment without income and zero hour contracts is of concern that must be addressed. It is important to reflect on these matters because people have become homeless, unable to afford homes. People still pay bills, eat, pay cost of travel, student fees, rent, mortgages, taxes, etc. Whether one earns income or not bills get higher and higher. Artificial intelligence deliberate tactics based on the Georgia guidelines in America like 10 commandments is to reduce world population to 250million. Creating starvation, deprivation, lack of resources, burying tons of good food in the soil while people starve. This is all part of that strategy so few people own everything, living in luxury while the rest are dealt a bad hand. On paper all these sounds fantastic yet the reality is the MAJORITY of humans suffer as a result. Robots in industries mean loss of jobs, starving and poverty but is not dealt with in the news. Since privileged few already have enough on their plate they are not too keen or interested in plights of those displaced unemployed. It is absolutely true robots are essential today in some fields, save lives, drones deliver goods. However if one truly and honestly analyses overall cost of longterm investments in robots, the machines deprive workers of jobs. .In addition, they do not raise children, feed families, pay tuition fees or rents and mortgages. On one hand robots are necessary but on the other hand too it is important to ensure humans are not all replaced by machines. The humans now globally have no jobs, resources or land in the hand of a few. Most investments and the profits go to shareholders who benefit not the staff laid off on the dole. Trillions of dollars are invested globally to create robots with zillions of electric wattage used to run them. But it affects electric power and oil supply needed to generate electricity. Alternative to fossil fuel like wind turbines still need electric to power them. Now when a problem is solved it creates lots more problems not foreseen by inventors. When Tsunamis, tornadoes, floods, wildfire, thunders or toxic waste burnt trickle into soil to shut down whole neigbourhoods, nothing is done to rectify problems. As long as the rich share holders are happily making more money they do not care about the damage done to the earth. The rush to overproduced cars, gadgets with inbuilt obsolence means products are changed for cosmetic or aesthetic reasons than functions. This creates disposable waste of tons of plastics that natural speed of human working hours would curb. The rat race constantly produces more items than realistically purchased so is shredded or buried in landfill that could be used for housing. A greedy excessive love of materialist products consumer habit damages planets with pollution. It is industry driven to produce faster, get to places faster and faster because it is easier to do so than work in tune with nature. The passion for wanting things yesterday to meet demands results in a need for the faster production methods beyond human abilities. That is why the robots are man’s friends to help them to accomplish their wants faster. It is good to be able to enjoy life and live a little yet longterm damage climate change is irreversible. The world already pays the price of sufferings from global turf wars over natural resources fuelling robots. It peaks beyond measure with plans for all future living mechanised by robots, people are displaced and frustrated. The young people graduating all over world feel the robotic trend of displacement. The good news is when things peak God will intervene by Rapture to restore earth to organic natural wholesome beauty again like paradise. God owns chariots, wheels in wheels technologies and a great designer of unique human intelligence. Technology displaces the workers but life in general improved. Machines replaced, outmoded, causes toxic waste in landfill sites buried at or burnt to destroy archaic old technology. Humans still need to program robots but must work alongside humans. Lots of businesses, companies are shut down or gone bankrupt due to changes. And online businesses affect direct human personal touch interaction on a daily basis. These issues must be addressed as much as debates in favour of using the robots and machines. The world is now reaching tipping point of inability to sustain these design using solar power or nuclear power. The pursuit of more power to maintain robots damages use of natural resources diverted by hydro power displacing communities. Many farms and food production destroyed by the seizure of generational family lands. The hybrid genetic modified foods often lack rich natural nutrients for organic food remedies created by God. Limited land use of the area means depending on imported foods than local produce. Robots are useful and helpful but must not be allowed to displace and destroy humans in the process. Both must live alongside each other with dignity of human life not dehumanising people.

OVER / UNDER / RATED EGOS

Maybe you’ve experienced this at school or work before: Dealing with someone who thinks he’s much better at his job than he really is. This can not only be really annoying, but it can lead to disaster as a group project is made much more difficult by someone’s unchecked ego. A new TED-Ed video, based on a lessonby psychologist David Dunning, dives into why this happens and why people are so bad at judging their skills in general, looking into the phenomenon known asthe Dunning-Kruger effect. “Knowing how competent we are and how our skills stack up to other people’s is more than self-esteem boost,” narrator Addison Anderson explained. “It helps us figure out when we can forge ahead on our own decisions and instincts and when we need, instead, to seek out advice.“But,” Anderson added, “psychological research suggests that we’re not very good at evaluating ourselves accurately. In fact, we frequently overestimate our own abilities.” This is true “to a degree that violates the laws of math.” For example: “When software engineers at two companies were asked to rate their performance, 32 percent of the engineers at one company and 42 percent at the other put themselves in the top 5 percent.” So what’s going on here? There’s actually a reasonable explanation: “When psychologists Dunning and [Justin] Kruger first described the effect in 1999, they argued that people lacking knowledge and skill in particular areas suffer a double curse. First, they make mistakes and reach poor decisions. But second, those same knowledge gaps also prevent them from catching their errors. In other words, poor performers lack the very expertise needed to recognize how badly they’re doing.”

How can someone know he’s a bad writer if he doesn’t know even basic writing skills? The good news is once people know they are bad at something say, if they fail at a logic puzzle they’ll typically admit to it. But some level of experience or expertise is needed for a person to come to that realization. That may be why people with a moderate amount of experience or expertise often have less confidence in their abilities,” Addison said. They know enough to know there’s a lot they don’t know. But knowledge can lead to some people overestimating others: “Experts tend to be aware of just how knowledgeable they are. They often make a different mistake: They assume that everyone else is knowledgeable too.”

“The result is that people, whether they’re inept or highly skilled, are often caught in a bubble of inaccurate self-perception,” Addison explained. “When they’re unskilled, they can’t see their own faults. When they’re exceptionally competent, they don’t perceive how unusual their abilities are.” There’s a way to prevent all of this: “First, ask for feedback from other people and consider it, even if it’s hard to hear. Second, and more important, keep learning. The more knowledgeable we become, the less likely we are to have invisible holes in our competence. Keep in mind this is all just one explanation for why and how incompetent people may overestimate themselves. For examples of other explanations, check out a good rundown by psychologist Tal Yarkoni. Personality types affect ego so is pride, arrogance, ignorance, delusion of grandeur influence through pattern. In extreme cases some people may not receive genuine help by feeling under valued or picked on. Often good ideas are rejected as ‘negative’ or an ‘attack’ on themselves. Often training helps a humble person to listen to instructions and relevant advise. Three heads are better than one, so good to make room for critical thinking logical reasoning to accept compromise and other points of view. People will listen if spoken to in a soft manner and not embarrassed in front of others to feel humiliated. Each person must learn to consider the other points of view and be willing to change.

RELAX & ENJOY CHRISTMAS

Relax and enjoy Christmas as a time of year to recount your blessings and to celebrate Jesus. Remember to thank God for sustaining your life and providing for you throughout the years. Enjoy this time of year which puts much pressure on people to spend more than ever. It is a good time to reflect and take stock of the year to assess what worked well and how to improve life next year. Above all it is good to keep in mind that Christmas is about love and the birth of Jesus Christ to save mankind. The whole world takes time to celebrate Jesus and give thanks to God for our families and our friends. Enjoy without fussing over the perfectionist details and obsessing over materialistic image, instead value the joyful festive season and be grateful and thankful for life itself. As the world gets worse it is necessary to appreciate favour of God not just material details. Christmas Day can be very difficult day for young care-leavers,” Sissay says.“For some going home for Christmas, painful and there’s arguments and dysfunction. There are young people with nowhere to go feeling sad on their own that day so feel a greater sense of loss. “It’s about making people smile to let them know they matter especially on that day.”

So many people are homeless, or live in squalor, poor, cannot afford privilege of safe environment, in dangerous region of war zones. Thank God for the Prince of Peace Jesus and do not hurt family or friends and colleagues over your selfish bizarre stubborn behaviours that ruins the festive season. The weather affects some so can trigger unusual reactions too. With abundant alcohol and substance use can get some situations out of hand. Yet the purpose of Chtistmas is to bring joy to the world, goodwill and peace on earth. Human relations are challenged as families out of touch assemble under one roof with many shenanigans. And emotions and feeling severely tested it is good to hold tongue for sake of comprise and peace. Ask for help or advise if not sure about presents or gifts to give each person as Jesus received gifts relating to his life, call and destiny. Gifts must be relevant and meaningful to the receiver not just what you insist on giving them whether they like or want it or not. Remember the golden rule of gifts to yourself and how it makes you feel. Be kind-hearted especially with the innocent children around do not to ruin the day for them. If physically present be a part of family or rather stay distant and send presents. instead of stressing all. Some might cite Christmas as a cause of breakdown of a family and their marriage. By fighting each year over Christmas among other issues toxic relationships can reach the tipping point at that time. Yet those who listen, change, adapt to enjoy Christmas but the stubborn ones continue ruining it for loved ones. Without an awareness over behaviour that the obsession with achieving that one, symbolic or perfect family causes misery not merriment. In the Bible, Jesus said in Luke 12:15, Take care and be on your guard against all covetousness, for one’s life does not consist in abundance of possessions.

One person described themselves as a tyrant in family festive season. Fretting over every last detail for weeks ahead in a bid to make it all extra special. And refusing to delegate anything even the decorating of the tree or laying the table since none else ever got things right in their opinion. Determined everything goes according to their plans only as the control freaks the atmosphere in family home is more fearful than festive. So it seems more like a dictator than a Father Christmas sharing love, joy, happiness and kindness. Looking back, realised its not worth fussing over nitty gritty silly unnecessary details so enjoy Christmas. 

THE DAD’S TIME WITH KIDS

Finland Fathers are paid paternity leave for universal daycare. Finland is closing the gender gap so the rest of the world can learn from them. To Americans and Britons, Nordic countries represent the paradise of gender equality and family harmony, where the legions of happy fathers do push prams through streets, relaxed mothers enjoy lengthy a paid maternity leaves, and well-nourished children in chunky sweaters glow from free healthcare. It is against that backdrop as one statistic on Finland nation of 5.5 million, stands out. According to recent OECD report, it is the only country in the developed world where fathers spend more time with school-aged children than mothers, to the tune of eight minutes a day.https://interactive.guim.co.uk/embed/2017/12/the-mother-load/embed.html

 Global Gender Gap report rates Finland the second most equal country in the world in 2016, and Economist recently rated it the third best country to be a working mother. How did Finland get there? And what can the rest of us learn from this small Nordic nation might accelerate the battle for gender equity in other places? It’s a story of collective action and political will, of a strong tradition of social democracy and an accommodating tax system. But it also boils down to a key difference in how Finland frames the conversation: it’s not about what’s good for adults it’s about what’s good for the children. So,

“This is a question of gender equality, but more a question of the rights of the child,” says Annika Saarikko, Finland’s minister of family affairs and social services, one of six female ministers out of a cabinet of eleven. “This is not about the mother’s right or the father’s right – but the child’s right to spend time with both parents.” Finland believes fathers play a crucial role in child development. The government gives fathers 9 weeks of paternity leave, during which they are paid 70% of their salary. And to encourage fathers to take advantage of the benefit, it recently launched a new campaign – with flyers showing a burly construction worker joyfully pushing a pram called “It’s Daddy Time!”

“We want fathers to take more of the shared parental leave available,” says Saarikko. “We are quite sure if we look at the research the connection between the baby and father is really important the early years are vital and we believe in investing in that.”Annika Saarikko, Finland’s minister of family affairs and social services said: ‘The early years are vital.’ While she advocates for fathers, Saarikko is a fitting example of how mothers in Finland are to a degree liberated from the constraints of motherhood by the country’s supportive policies. She is 33 and has a three-year-old child in full-time public daycare. Her husband works full-time. “You can be a young woman and minister here,” she says. “My situation is not abnormal. In Finland it is normal to combine work and family  it’s not easy, but it’s not impossible.”

Finland’s current standing reflects a long legacy of women’s advancement. The country was second in the world to give women the right to vote, and the first in 1906 to give them full political rights. Today, 42% of parliamentarians are women, whereas in the US, women hold just  19.6% of seats in Congress. “Finland was a poor country where women worked alongside men, and we all had to work together after the war to pay off our debt to the Russians,” says Paulina Ahokas, director of Tampere Hall, the largest concert and convention center in the Nordic countries. “But women have been involved in decision-making for a long time we believe that leads to the best decisions.”

Social support from start

The Finnish state strives to provide both mothers and fathers with meaningful social support before their child is even born and perhaps not coincidentally the parents Guardian spoke with in Finland seemed significantly less stressed than their counterparts on the other side of the Atlantic. When parents have a child in Finland, they do nit have to worry about a huge medical bill. A pregnant woman with no complications expects to be seen 11 to 15 times before giving birth for free, and the cost of having a baby is nominal. Meanwhile, in the US, a delivery alone costs average $10,000, while a caesarean delivery costs over $15,000, according to the International Federation of Health Plans (IFHP).

On top of that, for the past 80 years, the Finnish state has also gifted parents with a “baby box”, filled with newborn essentials including a sleeping bag, mattress, outdoor gear, toiletries and playsuits – all in gender neutral colors, of course. While families can opt to receive €140 instead, 95% of first-timers take the goodies, as they are worth much more. The baby box has been credited with helping Finland achieve one of the lowest infant mortality rates in the world – it saw only 1.7 deaths per 1,000 live births in 2015, compared with states’ strikingly high rate of 5.82 – not because of the bed itself, but because pregnant women must have a checkup before the end of their fourth month of pregnancy to receive it. “It’s the contact that’s important, not the box,” says Anita Haataja, who works for the Finnish social agency Kela. Inside Aleksi daycare centre in Helsinki, Finland.

Once the baby is born, Finland gives the mothers about four months of the paid maternity leave and fathers a little more than two months of paid leave. On top of all that, couples can share an additional five-plus months of paid parental leave between them. While most dads take the first three weeks of leave offered to them, only about half take the full two months and only a small percentage beyond that numbers the “Daddy Time” campaign is hoping to boost. Even after the parental leave period ends, one parent has the right to stay home, and get “paid” €450 a month, and return to the same job until child is three years old. Granted, some critics argue this stipend encourages women to stay away from workplace for too long, thus harming their job prospects. For Sami Sulin, who works in the back office of a bank, the benefit offered a welcome opportunity to spend time with his daughter. He stayed at home for a full 10 months from the time she was 10 months old, and he says an increasing number of his friends are doing the same. “No one was negative about it,” reports the 35-year-old. “I think it is just more socially acceptable now. There is a recognition that fathers need to participate in family life.”

Naturally Good To Help

Most parents, including mothers, do eventually go back to work and when they do, the state provides universal daycare. At its most expensive, service costs €290 a month by comparison, in the US, full-time childcare costs 85% of a family’s median rent in some places and can be more expensive than sending the child to college. In London, the average is around £650 a month. Oh, and in Finland, someone else will take care of all the details. “I guess the big difference is it is not stressful at all,” says sales manager Tuomas Aspiala, 40. “Someone else organizes everything.” When a local nursery didn’t have any space available for his two children, the city of Helsinki organised a nanny share to look after them until room became available. “The situation at the daycare centre is really fantastic. It’s really close, the people who look after the children are wonderful,” he says. “We really don’t feel guilty about leaving them there at all.” The Aleksi daycare centre in Helsinki.

Indeed, Finland’s early years care is arguably the best in the world, credited with helping country land consistently high in Pisa education rankings when children go to elementary school at the age of seven. “In Finland, schooling isn’t something people stress about at all,” says Noora Ahmed-Moshe, 37, who had her second daughter in Finland two months ago, after having her first while living in London. Finnish companies’ attitudes tend to be progressive, too. Here, most people start the day around 8am and commonly wrap up between 4.pm and 5.pm. All of which adds up to a culture where parents are better able to divvy up the work of parenting.

For Petri and Kirsi Louhelainen, a tech startup entrepreneur and the CTO of a tech firm respectively, they both see the division of time and labor in the home as important for their sons. “When at home so really involved that’s normal,” says Petri, 41. “Dads participate in their kids’ life and kids have a lot of hobbies, in my experience it’s often the dad who takes them.” Kirsi, 38, can’t personally attest to the finding that Finnish dads spend more time with school-age kids than moms and it’s true women still spend around 71 more minutes a day than men with their preschoolers she appreciates how relatively egalitarian her country is compared with others in the western world. “Petri takes care of all kids’ clothes. I find it too stressful,” she says. “But I cook more. It just feels natural and good to share the load.”

Deeprooted social Justice

None of this comes cheap, of course. Taxes account for 44% of Finland’s GDP, compared with about 25% in the US. Income taxincludes payments to the town or city, the state, a church tax, and a public broadcasting tax. Someone earning $1.2m a year would pay as much as 51.5% to the state. “Americans will say we pay a lot of tax, and it’s true, we do. I pay a lot, but I don’t lose any sleep over it,” says Aspiala, the sales manager. “Of course I would like to pay less tax, I would like the public sector to be less heavy but I’m comfortable with it. I know that I am a net giver rather than net receiver, but if my tax goes to help someone worse off, then OK. Finns have a pretty deep-rooted idea of social democracy.” Like many families in Finland, Petri and Kirsi Louhelainen balance raising their two children.

So does Finland agree with American perception it’s a utopian paradise? Not yet. Minister Saarikko acknowledges that a deeply ingrained gender-related problem remain, particularly in remote areas. The gender pay gap is at 16% to 18%, depending on which measure is used, which is not dissimilar to the 17% to 20% in the US. Most professions are dominated by one gender. And women make up only 23% of board members in listed companies.  A main barrier faced is illusion of gender equality,” she says. “Many people think gender equality has already been achieved in Finland.” But the government is actively working to improve figures. This year, the Finnish government launched an International Gender Equality Prize as part of the celebrations marking 100 years of independence it will give €150,000 to a person or organization “with advanced gender equality in a globally significant way” to donate to the cause of its choice. “I don’t know of any other country that would make this kind of prize it’s major statement in a celebratory year, that makes me proud,” says Ahokas, the convention center director who is also the chair of the prize. So where does the country go from here? The next big push is for the greater gender balance may just come from fathers, predicts Katja Lahti, 43, who writes a popular family blog Project Mama. “It feels like a real millennial movement of fathers who are asking for more, who want their voice,” she says. “It’s like they want to have it all.”
