    The ability to take decision for ‘taking the risk’ or ‘not taking the risk’ is essentially important for all ages. Many suffer of the inability of taking any decision and that is the worst option.

    Another observation:

    It would have been important to explore functionality of dopamine in teenagers vs adults. It does not seem to be same.

    idk what kind of teenager I was but I don’t recognise this risk taking. I was one sweaty nervous mess throughout my teens.
    Kissing a girl was probably something I worried about the entire week xd

    My brain definitely did not think of all risks as the same.. I went all in for “wipe out” or being dumb with fireworks, yet other things I was scared shitless

    Summary: 3 things we can learn from adolescents:
    1. Embrace uncertainty (1:10)
    2. Challenge the status quo (2:07)
    3. Take strategic risks (3:56)

    there was a time when i kept wondering why some people seemed to naturally draw others in while i was just…there. no matter what i tried, i couldn’t figure out how they did it. then someone mentioned the book Magnetic Aura by Takeshi Mizuki, and i decided to check it out. the way it explains how your aura affects everything around you? it blew me away. it’s like having a secret code to unlock your magnetic energy. this book is a game-changer.

    i remember feeling like i was always the one fading into the background while others stood out effortlessly. it was frustrating and made me doubt myself a lot. then i came across this book, Magnetic Aura by Takeshi Mizuki, and it showed me things i’d never even considered. it’s not just a self-help book; it’s like a guide to understanding your own energy and using it to connect with people. if you’ve ever felt like you’re not seen, this book might change everything.

    one night i was scrolling through my phone, feeling like i’d never figure out why some people just seem so magnetic. then i came across this book, Magnetic Aura by Takeshi Mizuki, and something about it caught my attention. reading it was like turning on a light in a dark room. it’s not about pretending to be someone you’re not; it’s about unlocking the energy you already have. trust me, this book is worth every page

    i used to think being magnetic was just about looks or confidence, but i couldn’t have been more wrong. i read this book called Magnetic Aura by Takeshi Mizuki, and it totally changed my perspective. it breaks down the energy and mindset behind true attraction in a way that just makes sense. once i started applying what it taught, i noticed people reacting to me differently almost instantly. it’s seriously worth a read.

    I have been told to grow up, guess, I can just show them this, thank you. In agreement mostly, depend on application, risk vs reward, outcome etc. But do miss parts of being a teen, as a parent of my own teens, getting the 2nd Gen to enjoy and learn from experiences and choices, and calculated risk taking encouraged.

    بما لا شك فيه اني قد تاثرت بعمالقه الابداع للادب العربي كيف انسى ابي الفخري يوسف السباعي و استاذي يوسف ادريس من قررت ان انافسه و اسبق بمراحل و اطور من القصة في الأدب العربي السردية او الحكي البسيط الى اقصوصه سرديه فنتازيه تصويريه فلسفيه تعبر عن منهجي الفكري و الفلسفي الذي اطرحه كنظريه متطوره للمدارس الفلسفيه التي انتمي اليها و عليه فلقد ربطت بين المدرسه الرواقيه و المدرسه الديكارتية يجمعهما منطق الفهم و الادارك الحسي المادي و الجمال الخيالي الافلاطوني الذي يعكس الفكرة للقارىء فيستلهم من النص الفكرة و المعنى. انا لا احب أن اكتب بالمباشرة التوضيحيه لان هذا افعله من خلال المقالات لكن القصة النثريه تحديدا تطلبت مني لتجديدها و تطويرها رسم افق فلسفي متجرد من الانبساط الفكري خلف اي مدرسه او لغة ادبيه بعينها، و كان يجب ان اقوم بهذا بعد اهمال للقصة النثريه تحديدا لسنوات طويلة و كان هناك عددقليل جدا من المبدعين من ابتكروا فيها مثل الرافعي و المنفلوطي و لكن اعمالهم لم يلقى عليها الضوء خاصة مع مناطحة كبار الادب العربي لهم مثل نجيب محفوظ و توفيق الحكيم و عباس العقاد و غيرهم و كلهم اساتذتي الكرام من احب ان اقرا و اتعلم لغتهم الجميله بصرف النظر عن قناعتي بالافكار فكما قلت انا امثل نفسي في نظريتي الفكريه الفلسفيه و لا اشبه احد و لا اقلد احد فلي مفرداتي و اسلوبي و اناقتي الابداعيه المنيره المنمقه اعتمدت فيها على علم الحروف و الارقام فلا تجد قصه شبه اخرى و حتى في الروايه القصيرة النوفلتا افتخر اني كتبت فيها عدد لا بأس به سترى في كل روايه نموذج متطور عن الاخرى و عليه اعتبرني النقاد واحدة من اهم كتاب الروايه القصيره عالميا بما ان كل الروايات القصيرة كتبت بالانجليزية. ما اود ان اشير اليه في النهايه ان الكتابه متعة عقليه نورانيه خاليه من التعقيد و العبث لكنها تحتاج لقارىء يريد أن يطور من تقبله لفن الادب القصصي و الروائي و يعلم ان الاديب لا يكتب حدوته قبل النوم و عليه يجب ان يكون مستعدا لما سيقراه و هذا ما اتمناه ان يكون لي قراء من نوعيه القارىء المبدع المتميز الذي يحب الفلسفة و الحداثة الفكرية المعاصرة.

Buying cheap clothing online can be satisfying, but it comes with not-so-hidden environmental costs. When designer Diarra Bousso was growing up in Senegal, her family bought and created new outfits for longevity rather than on impulse — an intention she carries forth in her fashion tech brand. Outlining three sustainable principles, including crowdsourcing designs and limiting excess inventory, Bousso shows it’s possible to decrease waste while increasing profit — and shares how to apply this wisdom across the fashion industry.
