Around the world, parents are waking up to something traditional schooling has rarely offered: an education model that adapts to the child, not the other way around. Homeschooling has quickly become a major educational trend—one that families everywhere are embracing for its freedom, flexibility, and ability to support each child’s individuality.

Beyond the borders : India’s most dangerous frontline is internal

India has long prepared to defend its borders. But today, the battle lines run through its own streets, screens, and minds. The enemy is not using guns and tanks anymore, they are using an ideology. The ideology that claims to speaks of peace but exercises hate! The greater danger for India however lies not in the ideology but the voices that defend it and the silence that feeds it. Every time the hate is defended or its messengers are humanized, India that is Bharat loses a fabric of its conscience. And the enemy outside is fueling it.

If you work twice as hard to reach your goal faster , it will take you twice as long.

The reason you have one eye on your goal. So you have only one eye to focus on “now” – the task at hand.

Just work and be here now.

4 types of wealth


Not sure if social status is really any wealth. A better measure of social wealth would be how connected , or how much of an ability to connect you have. If you are completely empty on the inside , unable to feel empathy , or connect with others , but are only flaunting to attract envy. How is it really wealth.

There is scientific proof that being better connected/ having more friends leads to a better life. On the contrary, seeking attention from others either by flaunting wealth or other assets , can become addictive and could cause you to have a weaker character , not to mention it could drain your “Financial wealth”

Why do people still use the real estate agents.

I am not a fan of the real estate business as a whole. It added value back in 1800’s and 1900’s when the real estate agents rode horses to “spread-the-word”. However today it doesn’t really add any value. On the contrary , agents sometimes “work” with home inspection, small financing business etc.. And we all know whose interest they have in mind when they do that.

Growth mindset in kids, how to praise

The research paper I'd like to discuss briefly is a paper from Dr. Carol Dweck and her colleague, Claudia Mueller. The title of the paper is "Praise for intelligence can undermine children's motivation and performance." It might be surprising that praise for intelligence can undermine motivation and performance. Many people probably believe that genuine feedback about being good at something would improve performance and motivation. However, research suggests otherwise.




The study conducted by Dweck and Mueller involved over a hundred children who were given either intelligence-based feedback or effort-based feedback, or were part of a control group. Intelligence feedback focused on labels like "smart" or "talented," while effort feedback was tied to actions and choices. The study found that children who received intelligence-based feedback tended to choose easier tasks to maintain praise, while those who received effort-based feedback were more likely to tackle more challenging problems.

In both cases, these children are essentially attached to the praise. But in the case of intelligence feedback, the kids are really just trying to reinforce being told that they're smart or talented, as opposed to reinforcing the engagement in the activity that got them the praise

This indicates that praising intelligence may lead children to seek easy tasks to maintain their perceived intelligence, while praising effort encourages them to take on challenges and improve. The study also found that performance decreased for children praised for intelligence but increased for those praised for effort.

This highlights the importance of feedback in shaping behavior, and suggests that praising effort rather than intelligence is more effective in improving performance. It's crucial for parents and teachers to be mindful of the type of feedback they give to children, as it can have a significant impact on their motivation and performance. Sample effective effort based praise: hey, you really tried hard and that's great,

The mobile S-curve ends, and the AI S-curve begins

There’s never been a bigger contrast between mobile and AI — it’s the end of one technology curve, and the start of the other. It’s been 15 years since the App Store was launched; while the generative AI revolution started merely 18 months ago. Mobile is now dominated by a duopoly of two giants, administering a collection of <100 apps that never seem to leave the charts (and a long tail that doesn’t matter much). This duopoly’s only true opponents are world governments. The brand new AI ecosystem, on the other hand, is in a state of utter chaos with new startups, technologies, and papers launched every week. One generative AI startup looks to be in the lead one week, and a few weeks later, their entire approach is in crisis — just look at AI video, recently! New approaches like open source, new types of hardware, regulation, and much more threaten to upend the stack rank every few quarters — isn’t that existing!?

What Does It Mean To Be a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP)?

Research predicts that nearly 20% of the global population is a highly sensitive person (HSP).1 The term was coined by psychologists Elaine Aron and Arthur Aron to describe people with sensory processing sensitivity (SPS). People with SPS have increased sensitivity to sensory information in their environment, making them more aware of stimuli (or, things that stimulate or trigger your senses) such as sound, movement, and the emotions of others.2
