your body language shapes who you are:

the way you sit or listen in class affects how people look at you, for example if you are slouching the teacher in class may think that you are not paying attention and instead sleeping in her class, even if you are paying attention. body language is very important and can also shape the way we see ourselves and behave

Summary:
This video explains about how the outcome of where many are today is not all because of IQ, and not based on whether the person is smart. However, it is way more than just that, it is grit that separates between the successful and those who give up. Talent does not make one gritty, being gritty and being talented is completely different. In order to build guilt, we need a growth mindset. The ability to learn is not fixed but is through effort, those with grit are most likely to persevere through when they fail, they believe that failure is not a permanent position. Thus, growth mindset is a great idea for growing grit.

The brain is in 2 different ‘modes’: a focussed or a diffused mode. In focussed mode you think tightly through familiar problems you have solved before. However, the diffuse thought is needed to search for new ideas – you can’t solve problems, but it is needed to find the answer if you haven’t seen it before. You need to activate this diffuse mode to think through a problem creatively: to do this Salvador Dali and Edison both sat comfortably with keys or a steel ball in their hands and started to drift off to sleep while thinking about it.

Summary:
This video is about the Angela Lee Duckworth who taught 7 grade math before, wondered how students learn and understand from the motivational perspective and not through IQ. Along the way, she discovered something called 'grit' which means how much passion and perseverance does an individual possess for very long-term goals, that includes having the stamina to. The goals should last for years, not weeks or months. Grit is like a marathon and not a bed of roses. One way in building grit in children is the belief that they can change their effort of work with not just a fixed way of learning. All in all, she explains her theory of grit as a predictor of success.

Pomodoro is like we take 25 minutes of studying and then take a 5 minute break after. This will allow us to reward ourself after studying for 25 minutes with a 5 minute break. I think that this is very good as it helps us to relieve stress while studying productively.

This video is about why we need to make education more accessible to the deaf, by

Nyle DiMarco. Nyle had a good childhood. Although he was born deaf, he had access to proper education and lead a good life. He felt like school was a second home to him, and he was able to effectively learn deaf signs and languages without difficulty. Nyle assumed that ever deaf child had the same childhood as him. Attending a deaf school, and then graduating. However, upon his research, he discovered that there were millions of deaf people in the world, but 70% of it had no access to proper education. Furthermore, most of the deaf children parents who are able to hear would not sign to their children. I feel that Nyle and I can share a common thought and feeling on this. It is very sad to hear that although they are being born with a disability, their own family would not even try to better the condition for them. Moreover, deaf children having no access to education makes me feel like they are being neglected. Imagine being deaf, and not knowing a single thing in the world. Hence, there should be more schools or volunteers scouting for deaf people to attend schools, and public schools should also give deaf children a chance to attend them to let deaf children have interaction with people with no disabilities. We should all be accepting of deaf children and do not show discrimination towards them. Therefore, education should not be something that is unaccessible for deaf children, but something that deaf people can easily get and count it as a fortune.

This video is about the problems in education. Real education has to give equal weight to the arts , the humanities, to physical education. The role of a teacher is to facilitate learning. However, there is a problem that the dominant culture of education has come to a focus on not teaching and learning but testing. Although testing is important, they should not be the dominant culture and should be diagnostic. Children and teachers are encouraged to follow routine and algorithms rather than to excite that power of imagination and curiousity. Hence, these problems should be solved in order for students to learn well.

Alessis - How can we support the emotional well-being of teachers? education

# data[].attributes.body
Sydney Jenson is a teacher in high school. In her first few years of teaching, her only purpose was to teach until she realized that she does not communicate with her students. Even after teaching this student called ‘David’ for a while, she realized that she have never heard his voice before. That was the experience that changed her. She found out her way of teaching is wrong. She started adding more communication in her teaching and that is when she found out background stories about her students. Whenever she heard about their problems, she feels their pain too. However, after hearing so much problems and trying to relate to their students, the teacher's mental health is deteriorating too. As research shows, most teachers, 86 percentage across early childhood settings, experience some depressive symptoms during the prior week. This shows me that teachers are always trying to look out for us and relating to us although we do not see it, which might cause the teacher's health to worsen. Through this video, I learn to view education from the teachers point of view and not just only the students. Sydney Jenson thinks that schools should not only have councilors for students but also for teachers. Teachers also need emotional support as they go through a lot more than students. Therefore, from this video, i realised how important it is for students to cooperate with teachers instead of causing more problems for them.

Sir Ken Robinson outlines 3 principles crucial for the human mind to flourish -- and how current education culture works against them. In a funny, stirring talk he tells us how to get out of the educational "death valley" we now face, and how to nurture our youngest generations with a climate of possibility. He said "But it's not true Americans don't get irony, but I just want you to know that that's what people are saying about you behind your back. You know, so when you leave living rooms in Europe, people say, thankfully, nobody was ironic in your presence.But I knew that Americans get irony when I came across that legislation, "No Child Left Behind." Because whoever thought of that title gets irony." Education under "No Child Left Behind" is based on not diversity but conformity. What schools are encouraged to do is to find out what kids can do across a very narrow spectrum of achievement. One of the effects of "No Child Left Behind" has been to narrow the focus onto the so-called STEM disciplines. They're very important. I'm not here to argue against science and math. On the contrary, they're necessary but they're not sufficient. A real education has to give equal weight to the arts, the humanities, to physical education. An awful lot of kids, sorry, thank you --
Just like in Singapore, one estimate in America currently is that something like 10 percent of kids, getting on that way, are being diagnosed with various conditions under the broad title of attention deficit disorder. ADHD. I'm not saying there's no such thing. I just don't believe it's an epidemic like this. If you sit kids down, hour after hour, doing low-grade clerical work, don't be surprised if they start to fidget, you know? They're suffering from childhood.

Whereas for the second principle that drives human life flourishing, it is curiosity. If you can light the spark of curiosity in a child, they will learn without any further assistance, very often. Children are natural learners. It's a real achievement to put that particular ability out, or to stifle it. Curiosity is the engine of achievement. Now the reason I say this is because one of the effects of the current culture here, if I can say so, has been to de-professionalize teachers. There is no system in the world or any school in the country that is better than its teachers. Teachers are the lifeblood of the success of schools. But teaching is a creative profession. Teaching, properly conceived, is not a delivery system. You know, you're not there just to pass on received information. Great teachers do that, but what great teachers also do is mentor, stimulate, provoke, engage. You see, in the end, education is about learning. If there's no learning going on, there's no education going on. And people can spend an awful lot of time discussing education without ever discussing learning. The whole point of education is to get people to learn.

This is contracted through the role of a teacher. The role is to facilitate learning. That's it. And part of the problem is, I think, that the dominant culture of education has come to focus on not teaching and learning, but testing. Now, testing is important. Standardized tests have a place. But they should not be the dominant culture of education. They should be diagnostic. They should help.

Tests, exams and studies should support learning. It shouldn't obstruct it, which of course it often does. So in place of curiosity, what we have is a culture of compliance. Our children and teachers are encouraged to follow routine algorithms rather than to excite that power of imagination and curiosity.

The third principle is this: that human life is inherently creative. It's why we all have different résumés. We create our lives, and we can recreate them as we go through them. It's the common currency of being a human being. It's why human culture is so interesting and diverse and dynamic. Other animals may well have imaginations and creativity, but it's not so much in evidence, is it, as ours?

However adults create their own lives through this restless process of imagining alternatives and possibilities, and one of the roles of education is to awaken and develop these powers of creativity. Instead, what they have is a culture of standardization.

It doesn't have to be that way. It really doesn't. Now, we only know that's what they do well at, because that's all that's being tested. That's one of the problems of the test.

Second, there is no standardized testing in Finland. I mean, there's a bit, but it's not what gets people up in the morning, what keeps them at their desks.

But what all the high-performing systems in the world do is currently what is not evident, sadly, across the systems in America as a whole. One is this: they individualize teaching and learning. They recognize that it's students who are learning and the system has to engage them, their curiosity, their individuality, and their creativity. That's how you get students to learn.

The second is that America attribute a very high status to the teaching profession. They recognize that you can't improve education if you don't pick great people to teach and keep giving them constant support and professional development. Investing in professional development is not a cost. It's an investment, and every other country that's succeeding well knows that, whether it's Australia, Canada, South Korea, Singapore, Hong Kong or Shanghai. They know that to be the case.

And the third is, they devolve responsibility to the school level for getting the job done. You see, there's a big difference here between going into a mode of command and control in education -- That's what happens in some systems. Central or state governments decide, they know best and they're going to tell you what to do. The trouble is that education doesn't go on in the committee rooms of our legislative buildings. It happens in classrooms and schools, and the people who do it are the teachers and the students, and if you remove their discretion, it stops working. You have to put it back to the people.

The point is that education is not a mechanical system. It's a human system. It's about people, people who either do want to learn or don't want to learn. Every student who drops out of school has a reason for it which is rooted in their own biography. They may find it boring. They may find it irrelevant. They may find that it's at odds with the life they're living outside of school.

If you take an area, a school, a district, you change the conditions, give people a different sense of possibility, a different set of expectations, a broader range of opportunities, you cherish and value the relationships between teachers and learners, you offer people the discretion to be creative and to innovate in what they do, and schools that were once bereft spring to life.

Great leaders know that. The real role of leadership in education -- and I think it's true at the national level, the state level, at the school level -- is not and should not be command and control. The real role of leadership is climate control, creating a climate of possibility. And if you do that, people will rise to it and achieve things that you completely did not anticipate and couldn't have expected.

There's a wonderful quote from Benjamin Franklin. "There are three sorts of people in the world: Those who are immovable, people who don't get it, or don't want to do anything about it; there are people who are movable, people who see the need for change and are prepared to listen to it; and there are people who move, people who make things happen." And if we can encourage more people, that will be a movement. And if the movement is strong enough, that's, in the best sense of the word, a revolution. And that's what people need.

This video is about how internet is very important as in situations like during the Covid-19 pandemic, students will need to rely on the internet to study at home. Without the access to internet, students will not be able to continue their education at home, hence their education will be disrupted. With the internet, people would be able to work or study from home and even have democratic conversations with relatives and friends overseas. Therefore, we need to actively and collectively ensure that going forward, everyone would have free and fair internet access. Hence, small steps should be taken by the government to acknowledge this problem as having free and fair internet is vital in this digital era.

Summary:
In our tech-driven, interconnected world, we've developed new ways and rules to court each other, but the fundamental principles of love have stayed the same.
The drive to win life's greatest prize is a mating partner.people who had just fallen happily in love, people who had just been rejected in love and people who are in love long-term. love and attachment will prevail, technology cannot change it,any understanding of human relationships must take into account one the most powerful determinants of human behavior:the unquenchable, adaptable and primordial human drive to love.

This video is about a young boy who is very good in technology. When he was 5 years old, he managed to fix a computer when his teachers could not. At the age of 11, he created his own iOS app which helps people learn mental sums. This has received the admiration of public. Bakshi is now finding ways for technology to detect signs of teen depression. It has shown in research that 80% of teens show signs before suicide. However, no one notices it. This is why Bakshi is investigating on it. His innovation comes from how technology uses our data to our personalised advertisments. Therefore, if suicidal people searches for suicidal things, technology should be able to detect it and render help to them. And even though they do not search for those things, technology should also detect lifestyle changes in them.

Picking an outfit? Many people usually purchase their outfits in retail stores and designs are normally the same. However, this new reality of fashion allows us to design new outfits digitally. Digital fashion is the new, weird and wonderful world of fashion designed for our virtual worlds. Gala Marija is a leader in this emerging field and she showcased what we can wear across the digital channels be it TikTok, Instagram or in the metaverse. She also shared about how it could infinitely expand the creative possibilities of fashion, identity and self expression. Many people think that this digital fashion is not lasting nor is it useful. However, from this video, I learnt that digital fashion can be long lasting and the digital fashion market is going to expand and be huge. Therefore, from this video, i completely changed my view about digital fashion and think that it is a good marketing strategy.

Gamma waves are weaker than they should be, which may contribute to Alzheimer's disease. So then, maybe they could artificially boost those waves to treat Alzheimer's. They have also found that that they could show mice lights blinking at a frequency which would boost the power and frequency of those waves which results showed better performance on learning and memory tests. As much as people may think that this experiment is dangerous or have an adverse effect on our body, it is shown with sufficient evidence that participants who use the devices can tolerate the gamma waves well in hopes of breaking or delaying Alzheimer's.

Electric cars that uses fossil fuels as energy that is produced at a power plant and using it to charge the electric is better than using fossil fuel in in an internal combustion engine car, you get about 20 percent efficiency. And the reason is, in the stationary power plant, you can afford to have something that weighs a lot more, is voluminous, and you can take the waste heat and run a steam turbine and generate a secondary power source. So in effect, even after you've taken transmission loss into account and everything, even using the same source fuel, you're at least twice as better off charging an electric car, then burning it at the power plant.  In order to accelerate the advent of electric transport, and I should say that I think, actually, all modes of transport will become fully electric with the ironic exception of rockets. There's just no way around Newton's third law. The question is how do you accelerate the advent of electric transport? And in order to do that for cars, you have to come up with a really energy efficient car, so that means making it incredibly light, and so what you're seeing here is the only all-aluminum body and chassis car made in North America. In fact, we applied a lot of rocket design techniques to make the car light despite having a very large battery pack. And then it also has the lowest drag coefficient of any car of its size. So as a result, the energy usage is very low, and it has the most advanced battery pack, and that's what gives it the range that's competitive, so you can actually have on the order of a 250-mile range.

The rest of the car has to be very light to offset the mass of the pack, and then you have to have a low drag coefficient so that you have good highway range. And in fact, customers of the Model S are sort of competing with each other to try to get the highest possible range. I think somebody recently got 420 miles out of a single charge.

In our schools, in our businesses, in politics, winning at all cost has become acceptable.However ,sadly, quite often, those same people are leaving their institutions as damaged human beings. Sadly, with straight A's, kids are leaving school damaged. With awards and medals, athletes often leave their teams damaged, emotionally, mentally, not just physically.We need to redefine success.She mentions that you may be able to dictate your way to a win, but you can't dictate your way to success.We should all start to change our mindsets towards being 'successful'

reyes - whats the difference between winning and succeeding

# data[].attributes.body
John Wooden was a college basketball coach for UCLA from 1948 to 1975. He won 10 national championships and coached some of the NBA stars. Wooden defined success as peace of mind attained only through self-satisfaction in knowing you made the effort to do the best of which you're capable. Success is like character. Winning is like reputation. Your reputation is what you're perceived to be; your character is what you really are.

Never mention winning, you can lose when you outscore somebody in a game, and you can win when you're outscored.

His advice is to not try to be better than someone else. Instead, learn from others. Always try to be the best you can be

Wooden also built a pyramid model to provide a framework for how to achieve his definition of success.

Ethan Go- How Romans flooded the Colosseum for sea battles

# data[].attributes.body
Summary:
Over 50,000 residents of Rome and visitors from across the Roman Empire would fill the stadiums’ four stories to see gladiators duel, animals fight, and chariots race around the arena.engineers flooded the arena to create this aquatic effect. Some historians believe a giant aqueduct was diverted into the arena. Others think the system of chambers and sluice gates used to drain the arena, were also used to fill it. These chambers could’ve been filled with water prior to the event and then opened to submerge the stage under more than a million gallons of water, to create a depth of five feet.But the Colosseum’s aquatic age didn’t last forever. The naval battles proved so popular they were given their own nearby lake by Emperor Domitian in the early 90s CE. The larger lake proved even better for naumachiae, and the Colosseum soon gained a series of underground animal cages and trap doors that didn’t allow for further flooding. But for a brief time, the Flavian Emperors controlled the tides of war and water in a spectacular show of power.

First of all, it is well accepted that exercise is good for our body and minds and has all sorts of health and mental benefits like strengthening our bones and reducing the risk of suffering from depression. Our brains also release a number of chemicals when we exercise including endorphins which can sharpen your focus and improve your mood and memory. If you find a sports and a team you like, you can learn to trust and depend on others, to accept help, to give help and to work together.

In this inspiring talk, she shares what she's learned during a career spent not accepting limits -- and how her daughter taught her the best lesson of all. "Barrier breaking is about not staying in your lane and not being something that the world expects you to be," she says. "It's about not accepting limitations.". Regardless the gender etc, she will still give it try. The idea of breaking barriers was being something so that the world could see that it was possible, but breaking down barriers isn't always records. We have to unite, to come together, to figure out why barriers are there in the first place, before breaking it.

cia shien -The ancient origins of the Olympics

# data[].attributes.body
The speaker is Armand D'Angour. For the first olympics, the contest were for music,singing and poetry. For the first thirteen games, the Ancient Greek Olympics featured just one event, the two hundred yard dash. Soon more events were featured. However in 391 AD, the Christian Roman Emperor Theodosius banned pegan practices, and olympics game were gone. Luckily, 1500 years later in 1896, the modern olympics kick off again in Athens, Greece. Thus now olympics became an international competition and led to many champions today. The first Olympics champion was the local baker Coroebus in 776BC . There was also a guy, Orsippus of Megara who took off his loincloths to run unimpeded. The three cheers for Olympics are Citius, Altius and Fortius. The olympics started to have more popularity when more athletes join from different countries. This leads to the Summer and Winter olympics which is held every 4 years and it means something important to athletes. It is one of the largest competition that athletes have and like to win. Many athletes likes to join Olympics as it provide athletes with the chance to attain national and sometimes international fame.

Summary:
This video is about the Olympic Games and their origins in ancient Greek times. The Olympic Games were made to honour the Greek God Zeus and in addition to sporting events, contests were held for music, singing and poetry. For the first 13 games, the ancient Greeks only held a two hundred yard dash, but later on, more appealing contests such as boxing, chariot and mule racing and even a footrace where the competitors wore a full suit of armour enticed many hopeful champions into the Olympic stadium. The combined events of running, jumping, wrestling, javelin throwing etc, known as the pentathlon, inspired world-class competition, and the pankration, where only biting and eye-gouging where prohibited, ensured the strongest men were victorious, which they were. The very first Olympic champion was the local baker Coroebus. In 391 AD, the Christian Roman Emperor Theodosius banned pagan practises, ending the Olympic Games. Later, in 1800, the modern Olympic Games began in Athens, Greece. Modern Olympics bring international world-class together for the greatest competitions of all time

I started with paragliding. Paragliding is taking off from mountains with a paraglider, with the possibility to fly cross-country, distance, just with the use of thermals to soar. Also different aerobatic maneuvers are possible with a paraglider.

00:20

From there I started with skydiving. In this picture you can see there is a four-way skydive, four people flying together, and on the left hand side it's the camera flier with the camera mounted to his helmet so he can film the whole jump, for the film itself and also for the judging.

00:40

From regular, relative skydiving I went on to freeflying. Freeflying is more the three-dimensional skydiving. You can see the skydiver with the red suit, he's in a stand-up position. The one with the yellow-green suit, he's flying head-down. And that's me in the background, carving around the whole formation in freefall also, with the helmet cam to film this jump.

01:08

From freeflying I went on to skysurfing. Skysurfing is skydiving with a board on the feet. You can imagine with this big surface of a skysurfing board, there is a lot of force, a lot of power. Of course I can use this power for example for nice spinning -- we call it "helicopter moves."

01:31

From there I went on to wingsuit flying. Wingsuit flying is a suit, that I can make fly, just only with my body. If I put some tension on my body, tension on my suit, I can make it fly. And as you see the fall rate is much much slower because of the bigger surface. With a proper body position I'm able to really move forward to gain quite some distance. This is a jump I did in Rio de Janeiro. You can see the Copacabana on the left-hand side.

02:07

From there with all the skills and knowledge from paragliding and all the different disciplines in skydiving, I went on to BASE jumping. BASE jumping is skydiving from fixed objects, like buildings, antennae, bridges and earth -- meaning mountains, cliffs. It's for sure -- for me -- it's the ultimate feeling of being in free fall, with all the visual references.

02:37

So my goal soon was to discover new places that nobody had jumped before. So in summer 2000 I was the first to BASE jump the Eiger North Face in Switzerland. Two years after this, I was the first to BASE jump from Matterhorn, a very famous mountain that probably everybody knows in here. 2005 I did a BASE jump from the Eiger, from the Monk and from the Jungfrau, three very famous mountains in Switzerland. The special thing on these three jumps were, I hiked them all and climbed them all in only one day. In 2008 I jumped the Eiffel Tower in Paris. (Laughter)

03:23

So with all this knowledge, I also wanted to get into stunts. So with some friends we started to do different tricks, like for example this jump here, I jumped from a paraglider. Or here -- everybody was freezing, pretty much, except me, because it was very cold in Austria where we did this filming. Everybody sitting in a basket, and I was on top of the balloon, ready to slide down with my skysurf board. Or this jump, from a moving truck on the highway. (Laughter)

04:09

Extreme sports on top level like this is only possible if you practice step by step, if you really work hard on your skills and on your knowledge. Of course you need to be in physical, very good, condition, so I'm training a lot. You need to have the best possible equipment. And probably the most important is you have to work on your mental skills, mental preparation. And all this to come as close as possible to the human dream of being able to fly.

04:47

So for 2009, I'm training hard for my two new projects. The first one, I want to set a world record in flying from a cliff with my wingsuit. And I want to set a new record, with the longest distance ever flown. For my second project, I have a sensational idea of a jump that never has been done before.

05:15

So now, on the following movie you will see that I'm much better in flying a wingsuit than speaking in English. Enjoy, and thank you very much. (Applause)

09:24

09:33

June Cohen: I have some questions. I think we all might have some questions. Question one: so does that actually feel the way the flying dream does? Because it looks like it might.

09:44

Ueli Gegenschatz: Pretty much. I believe this is probably the closest possibility to come to the dream of being able to fly.

09:51

JC: I know the answer to this, but how do you land?

09:54

UE: Parachute. We have to open a parachute just seconds before, I would say, impact. (Laughter) It's not possible to land a wingsuit yet.

10:07

JC: Yet. But people are trying. Are you among those -- you're not going to commit -- are you among those trying to do it?

10:12

UE: It's a dream. It's a dream. Yeah. We're still working on it and we're developing the wingsuits to get better performance, to get more knowledge. And I believe soon.

10:23

JC: All right. Well we will watch this space. But I have two more questions. What is the -- there was exhaust coming out of the back of the wingsuit. Was that a propelled wingsuit that you were wearing?

10:30

UE: Nope. It's just smoke.

10:32

JC: Coming off of you?

10:33

(Laughter)

10:34

UE: Hopefully not.

10:36

(Laughter)

10:37

JC: That seems dangerous.

10:38

UE: No, smoke is for two reasons, you can see the speed, you can see the way where I was flying. That's reason number one. And reason number two: it's much easier for the camera guy to film If I'm using smoke.

10:53

JC: Ah, I see. So the wingsuit is set up to deliberately release smoke so that you can be tracked. One more question. What do you do to to cover your face? Because I just keep thinking of going that fast and having your whole face smushed backwards. Are you in a helmet? Are you in goggles?

11:07

UE: The purest and the best feeling would be with only goggles.

11:10

JC: And is that how you usually fly?

11:13

UE: Usually I'm wearing a helmet. In the mountains I'm always wearing a helmet because of landings -- usually it's difficult -- it's not like regular skydiving where you have like the big landings. So you have to be prepared.

11:24

JC: Right. Now is there anything you don't do? Do people come to you with projects and say, "We want you to do this!" and do you ever say, "No, no I'm not going to."

11:31

UE: Oh of course, of course. Some people have crazy ideas and --

summary:
This video is about Lewis, who swam the north pole. He explains how he almost drowned, and it was the more frightening and terrifying feeling. "Although something may have worked well in the past, it may not work well in the future." He quotes. When he was walking up Mount Everest, he felt like there was a hammer banging his head constantly, and when he saw the bodies, he felt humbled, as mother nature is more powerful than any man on earth. From this journey, he has learned humility and humbleness. Whatever he learned from the past in swimming, he had to forget about it, and do things slowly. I think that he is a very resilient person, as he had overcome swimming in the cold, deep shores.

Jonathan - How playing sports benefits your body... and your brain

# data[].attributes.body
Many people love to glorify victory on the playing field, cheer for favorite teams, and play sports. It's well accepted that exercise is good for our bodies and minds, and that's definitely true. Exercising, especially when we're young, has all sorts of health benefits, like strengthening our bones, clearing out bad cholesterol from our arteries, and decreasing the risk of stroke, high blood pressure, and diabetes. Our brains also release a number of natural hormones, which control pain and pleasure responses in the central nervous system, can lead to feelings of euphoria, or, what's often called, a runner's high. Increased endorphins and consistent physical activity in general can sharpen your focus and improve your mood and memory. So does that mean we get just as much benefit going to the gym five days a week as we would joining a team and competing? Well, here's where it gets interesting: because it turns out that if you can find a sport and a team you like, studies show that there are all sorts of benefits that go beyond the physical and mental benefits of exercise alone. Some of the most significant are psychological benefits, both in the short and long term. Some of those come from the communal experience of being on a team, for instance, learning to trust and depend on others, to accept help, to give help, and to work together towards a common goal. In addition, commitment to a team and doing something fun can also make it easier to establish a regular habit of exercise. School sport participation has also been shown to reduce the risk of suffering from depression for up to four years. Meanwhile, your self-esteem and confidence can get a big boost. There are a few reasons for that. One is found in training. Just by working and working at skills, especially with a good coach, you reinforce a growth mindset within yourself. That's when you say, "Even if I can't do something today, I can improve myself through practice and achieve it eventually." That mindset is useful in all walks of life. And then there's learning through failure, one of the most transformative, long-term benefits of playing sports. The experience of coming to terms with defeat can build the resilience and self-awareness necessary to manage academic, social, and physical hurdles. So even if your team isn't winning all the time, or at all, there's a real benefit to your experience. You'll be a part of a supportive community, you'll be building your confidence, you'll be exercising your body, and you'll be nurturing your mind, not to mention having fun.

Summary: Winning does not always bring joy to an individual. It will eventually "damage" then which cause them to be unmotivated to reach success. As Valorie shares her experience as a longtime coach of the UCLA women's gymnastics team, it is mentioned that by coaching her students through a brutally honest way which causes the students to be torn down in order to get the winning position. However, it was later that Valorie was told that her method of coaching was too brutal and is causing themselves to lose motivation to work towards success. That is when Valorie knew that winning is not related to success and vice versa. Additionally, she said that we can dictate our way to win but not dictate our way to success.
In conclusion, success is not related to winning and that we should work towards "success".

"Anything that is worth pursuing is going to require us to suffer, just a little bit," says surf photographer Chris Burkard, as he explains his obsession with the coldest, choppiest, most isolated beaches on earth. With jawdropping photos and stories of places few humans have ever seen -- much less surfed -- he draws us into his "personal crusade against the mundane." Trying to achieve something is not easy, sometimes, it requires suffering, just like how Chris challenged himself to be in freezing cold weather and water just to take pictures of surfers surfing in beautiful waves. Despite suffering in cold water, Chris had a smile on his face the entire time, and that was pure joy. Through those experiences, Chris learnt that every photograph was precious and he was forced to earn. From that, I learnt that there are no shortcuts in life to joy. Suffering is needed. It allows us to learn more about life and learn to value small little things in life. These small little things may be very meaningful to us. As long as we work hard and give in effort, I am sure we can achieve our goals and have a sense of fulfillment which gives us joy.

# data[].attributes.body
Many people love to glorify victory on the playing field, cheer for their favourite team and play sports. But should we be so obsessed with sports? Firstly, sports are beneficial for both our physical and mental health. Exercising, especially when we are young have many health benefits for example, strengthening your bones, decreasing the risk of stroke, high blood pressure and diabetes. Our brains will also release a number of chemicals when we workout. However the interesting thing is that if you find a team that you like or enjoy being around, there are more benefits. For example psychological benefit in both short and long term. In addition, being committed to a team and doing something fun can also make it easier to establish a regular habit of exercise. School shows that when working with a fun team, it reduces the risk of suffering from depression and a lot more. From this, I learnt that sports might be useful to our health but having companions will improve many other things. This will then improve on our self and boost our self confidence. Not only that, it will also be more self aware to manage academics and other issues. All in all, sports will improve your physical health but with a good team, it will improve both mental and physical health.

In the video she she talks abt how she  explored how climate change is threatening our well-being mental, social and spiritual and offers a starting point for what we can do about it.American Psychological Association says that our psychological responses to climate change, like conflict avoidance, helplessness and resignation, are growing. This means that our conscious and unconscious mental processes are holding us back from identifying the causes of the problem for what they are. An oft-cited study shows that, on average, having one less child in an industrialized nation can save about 59 tons of carbon dioxide per year. While in comparison, living car-free saves nearly 2.5 tons, avoiding a transatlantic flight -- and this is just one -- saves about 1.5 tons, and eating a plant-based diet can save almost one ton per year. there are also rich mental-health data from northern communities where warming is the fastest, like the Inuit in Labrador, who face existential distress as they witness the ice, a big part of their identity, vanishing before their eyes.

Ethan Go -What is melatonin -- and should you take it to fall asleep?

# data[].attributes.body
Melatonin is a hormone, often called the hormone of darkness, simply because melatonin tells your brain and your body that it's nighttime and that it's time to sleep. Melatonin is naturally produced by your brain, and it's released by a very small gland deep within your brain, called the pineal gland. melatonin is primarily in regulating the timing of your sleep, rather than being involved in the generation of sleep itself. That's down to a very different set of brain mechanisms. It's also important to understand that melatonin is not well regulated as a supplement in several countries. As a result, the purity and the strength of melatonin that you buy is often unreliable.

Dreaming is a therapy, and studies have shown that when we dream, it is like dreaming about a puzzle piece and waking up to the puzzle being complete. Besides that, we would dream about something that happened in real life. The example given was, if we were going through a divorce now, we would most likely dream about something depressing and we would feel ill the next day. Besides that, studies have also shown that those who dreamt about the maze in their dream were better at navigating it compared to those who did not dream about the maze. Hence, dreaming can increase our knowledge and familiarity the moment we wake up, as well as serve as a form of therapy for us.

Shayna - How sleep affects what (and how much) you eat by Matt Walker

# data[].attributes.body
Studies have shown that having less sleep will result in unnecessary weight gain. It is partially caused because there is an imbalance in two key appetite-regulating hormones called leptin and ghrelin. And what leptin does is that it sends a signal of fullness to our brain, making us feel satisfied, while ghrelin sends a signal of hunger to our brain. But what lack of sleep does is that it decreases levels of leptin and levels of ghrelin will actually increase in the process, making us even more hungry. Asides from that, our food preferences will also make us crave for more high-calorie foods and sugary sweet desserts so as to increase our energy levels in the day, allowing us to make it throughout the day but also feeling restless and tired at points in time. When we do not get enough nutrients and sleep, it would affect us and lead to an unhealthy life. Hence, sleep is a very essential part of our life in ensuring that we are fulfilled everyday.

Thrift is a concept where you reduce, reuse and recycle, but yet with an economic aspect I think has a real potential for change. My grandmother, she knew about thrift. This is her string jar. She never bought any string. Basically, she would collect string. It would come from the butcher's, it would come from presents. She would put it in the jar and then use it when it was needed. When it was finished, whether it was tying up the roses or a part of my bike, once finished with that, it'd go back into the jar. This is a perfect idea of thrift; you use what you need, you don't actually purchase anything, so you save money.

BP Oil spill in gulf of Mexico showed that despite our talk we can’t control nature – despite our best efforts we could not stop the oil from spilling once it started. At the same time, BP’s CEO convinced themselves that the Gulf of Mexico was big enough to absorb the pollution without problem. There was a clear lack of planning to prevent the issue – we have become far too willing to gamble without a plan B or exit strategy. The same culture exists in declaring war or the financial market – where people optimistically pile in and then seem unprepared when things go sour. This becomes expensive for the government, which inevitably bails them out.

At the moment, climate change is the biggest risk game we are playing. There is a lot of doubt about the models which show warming of 2-4 degrees: people asking “what if we act and they are wrong”. Naomi suggests we should instead be asking “what if the models are right”. Why should we wait for perfect certainty in the modelling – we should act if there is a compelling case that we are on track for massive damage to the environment and human health. Instead the arguments have been hijacked by economists who ask bizarre questions to protect economic growth: How late can we act to minimise damage and what is the most temperature change we can accept? In doing so we are accepting a massive risk, when in truth the modelling isn’t accurate enough to perfectly answer these questions.

Risk is accepted in today’s society – we often acknowledge that taking larger risks gives more money if it pays off. Tony Hayward: BP’s former CEO had a plaque on his desk “What would you attempt to do if you knew you could not fail”. Such an attitude is good for attempting a personal achievement like a triathlon, but we should ask our business leaders to consider the possibility of failure and respond to it.

Humanity’s story is about it’s dominance over nature with technology, that we can “slap mother nature in the face”. At the same time, we have a view that the environment is limitless and it can take the damage easily. We have a master narrative that we can do no harm, and if we do then technology will save us. In response to climate change, there are often new technologies that are spruiked as the solution – for example geoengineering which sprays chemicals into the atmosphere to deflect more solar radiation and decrease temperature. These technologies are untested, but are leapt upon as a low effort solution.

We need a new narrative, with heroes being the people willing to take on risky ideas.

They did many things such as swapping out less sustainable for recycled items. After a few years of challenge, they found out a lot more about sustainability and what can be done to benefit the nature. Therefore, allowing them to start an entire business which shares stories that can inspire others.
