Labor Day recently passed. That means you may have received a shared photo album from a friend or relative. You know the type: It’s usually dozens (or hundreds) of shots of vacation fun. But you’re not into it. Now, it’s not that you don’t care; It’s fun to peek in and see what happened. But who wants to sort through a glut of 200 photos of someone else’s vacation (or baby photos or whatever)? What ...

...if you get one good shot on a roll of 36, you were doing good. That’s the ratio: 36:1. When you edit ruthlessly like that, you come out with great results. People think you’re better than you are. It’s not that you became a brilliant photographer, it’s just that you started exercising taste and restraint

Every parent wants their children to be smart, but how exactly should one raise a smart kid? Carol S. Dweck wrote an interesting (though a little long) article for the Scientific American on the secret of raising smart kids: don’t tell them how smart they are! Effort, not intelligence or ability, is the key to success in school and life: In studies involving several hundred fifth graders published in 1998, for example, Columbia psychologist Claudia ...

If you don't want spam in your inbox, never respond, never buy anything. Not even if it's a good deal. If you don't like TV commercials featuring loud aggressive announcers, don't buy what they're selling. Ever. If you don't want people ringing your door asking for donations, don't give, no matter what. If you think politics is too nasty and not focused enough on creating value, then don't donate to a candidate that's nasty, even ...

Here's a funny short video of Chinese people being exposed to fortune cookies (an American invention) for the first time: Americans find high emotional attachment to the slips inside their cookies, looking to them for winning lottery numbers and becoming upset when the fortunes inside are unfortunate. The Chinese, on the other hand, would often tell me after trying the curved vanilla-flavored wafers, “Americans are so strange, why are they putting pieces of paper in ...

Hilarious! I think we all know that fortune cookies were invented here, but we never really thought about this sort of interaction.
