Technical development in general - and the emergence of the Internet and the ease of access to information in particular - have fundamentally changed the nature and definition of what we mean by "competition" between individuals. In the past, competition was mainly conducted in a vertical direction.   Your depth of knowledge and experience in a particular field gives you a competitive advantage over others working in the same field.   Before the advent of the Internet, there was no quick way to transfer expertise, and therefore the knowledge gap could not be reduced quickly, and for this reason experience remained a strong competitive advantage. But what about now? Ease of access to information - and ease of communication with experienced individuals - made the process of reducing the difference in experience in a relatively short time easy, and thus knowledge depth is no longer a strong competitive advantage as it was before.   By relying on appropriate resources, an ind...

The technological nature of the current era is not completely gradual. Rather, it can be divided into a group of "technological waves", each of which lasts for a period of time, during which that wave is "the talk of the hour".   With the passage of time this wave reaches its fullest point in its development, after which it disappears (or is swallowed up) into the next wave that has already begun;   This is because its ability to reach higher heights - and thus bring about deeper change - is greater. Since the 1970s, the world has gone through the    following technological   waves   : 1-wave analog  It started in the 1970s and continued until the beginning of the 1990s.   Until then everyone was talking about the first shapes of large format televisions and recorders (do you remember the tape recorders you were rewinding with a pen?) As a result of advances in the manufacture of analog electronics. 2- The first digital wave: Which represents the ...

What    is the value of one hour in your life?   What effect  would that hour have if you used it to do something for a period of 3 months, for example? Yes, like those that might spend their weakness in a political fight with a friend, or spend 6 times as much on Facebook or watch the "trend" news? The following story is the strangest and most wonderful story I have read in my life so far.   Imagine that you are a homeless person living on the street without a homeless, then a stranger passes by you who offers you two options: to give you a hundred dollars or to teach you programming for two months! This is what Patrick Mechnology, 23, programmer, did when the homeless Leo Grand, 37, passed by.   To make matters even more strange, the homeless person, who may not have touched a computer in his life, chose to learn programming. It goes like this: Patrick gave Liu an old computer and some books, and for two months, starting August 28, Patrick would come dail...

I think one of the best things you can do for your children is to push them to take up a sport at a young age (say, three years), and to make every effort to make sure they continue to do it afterwards. Yes, you can start exercising at any time, and yes, you will get its benefits if you stick, but permanent practice from the beginning has something else to do.   It is not just about the immediate health and mental benefits (which need to be covered by many topics), but that sport literally turns into a "lifestyle" that may affect all of a person's choices in his life afterward.   The simplest thing is that an athlete will instinctively move away from things that may harm his body, and thus the likelihood of him turning to smoking or drugs is much less than others.   This is just an example. What triggered this matter in my head was a conversation that I had with a colleague of the lab days ago - who is Japanese - when he mentioned in the midst of his speech that he had be...

The way you see things is strictly related to information.   The depth and influence of a particular sensory input to one of your five senses is related to the things you know about it and the meanings you connect with it, which are ultimately information.   We can even say that we sense the world through information, not the senses! Think about it .. What is the difference between a stranger and your best friend?   Nothing at all except the amount of information you associate with the two. Imagine that a random person came across in front of you for the first time .. You probably won't notice them.   Suppose you meet him by chance somewhere and spend one day with each other, at a conference or party for example .. If you met him the next day, would you see him in the same way that you saw him only one day ago?   of course not.   Just that little information that you know about this person - including the memories or impressions you made about him that day ...

When you work on something (or something) for a long time with no apparent result, there are two possibilities: Either you are going the wrong way, or something great is about to happen.   The problem is that you often will not know for sure which paths you took until you get to the end. And because this idea is so frightening, you find that most people prefer safe, proven choices or decisions, and prefer actions that have guaranteed and relatively fast returns. Many of the great success stories you hear about "suddenly" are for those who were bold enough to go the first way.   Nothing happens suddenly;   All the matter is that there are certain roads that do not show the results of walking gradually as usual, but are delayed and then appear in one batch.   Unfortunately, people focus in such cases only on the result, and they do not pay any attention to what led to it, and that is why the number of people who achieve success outside the usual is very limited. There ...

The main factor on which the success of the change depends or not    is a realistic estimate of the time required to change. Reread the previous sentence again and ponder it a little.   The idea seems quite intuitive, and yet it is often the last thing on a person's mind when changing something. Why is a "realistic estimate" of the required time important?   Because all your plans, moves, goals, and then the results you are waiting for will be organized within this timeframe only.   The difference in the real timeframe needed to make a desired change from the one you think means that you will never get there, and it means that you will make a lot of mistakes and make a lot of unnecessary sacrifices. Imagine someone who wants to lose weight and thinks they can do it in 10 days, maybe because he saw it in a TV commercial, for example.   The direct effect of this belief is that his enthusiasm for change will only last 10 days, and if he does not reach what he ...
