Though people have gradually become more open when it comes to talking about sex, there are still a few topics that have a flurry of misinformation around them. One of those topics is oral sex. 

To help you further your sex education, here at some myths – debunked by professionals – that you need to let go of now.

MYTH: You don’t need to incorporate safe sex practices when engaging in oral sex.

Oral sex has often been counted out when it comes to the safe sex talk. Susan Bard, MD of Manhattan Dermatology Specialists, told INSIDER, however, that this type of thinking can harm our health.

“I treat a fair amount of STIs in my practice and have to do a lot of education on safe sex practices and prevention of STI transmission,” Bard said. “While one can not get pregnant from oral sex, disease transmission from oral sex is not uncommon. I have treated a fair amount of herpes, HPV, syphilis, and gonorrhea in both the mouth and genitals acquired from unprotected oral sex.

“Oral sex is just that, sex. One should always use a barrier method (.ie. condoms or dental dams) when engaging in oral sex to protect both themselves and their partner.”

MYTH: Your oral health isn’t affected.

When couples have made the decision to engage in oral sex, the thought of what can happen to your oral health is usually non-existent. Forensic sexologist, chief of sexology, and director of the division of clinical research programs at Felnett Health Research Foundation Dr. Damian Jacob M. Sendler told INSIDER that this should be something that you should think about. 

“A lot of people theorize around the idea that sperm or any other penile secretions are unhealthy for your teeth,” he said. “Most of the stuff that comes out of the penis is alkaline/slightly acidic. It affects the oral health the way that food would. You want to brush your teeth regardless of whether you gave someone 10 blowjobs or one blowjob. It’s all about taking care of your oral health in there the way you would normally do.”

MYTH: If your partner has any sort of STD and you have oral sex with them, rinsing your mouth out will prevent you from contracting it.

Whether through oral or penetration, sexually transmitted diseases or infections can and will be transferred to your partner if you are not using protection. Although this should be a known fact, many people are still living on the myth that if you just simply rinse your mouth after oral sex, you’ll be fine. That, however, is far from true.

“Every day I see at least one patient that says that drinking alcohol, or rinsing and washing the body with alcohol, removes all sorts of bacteria and viruses,” said Sendler. “Body secretions can be benign or dangerous depending on their look, taste, consistency. Just because sperm tends to be salty, it doesn’t mean that it repels viruses and bacteria.”

Then you’re in the right place.

I’m going to expose the 10 biggest myths about the brain, including ones you hear about being a “right brain or left brain” person.

And for each one, you’ll learn some proven ways to counter them too.

So without further ado, let’s do this!

Myth #1: Believing you’re either a “left or right brain” person

Chances are, once upon a time, during your happy musings on the internet, you came across the idea of the right brain left brain.

This is the myth that you’re either a logical facts driven person (left brain), or you’re a intuitive, arts and imagination type person (right brain).

It’s not true.

Your brain is a very intricate and complex organ. Despite decades of research and study, the brain is something that we still know relatively little about.

Even so, just google “right brain left brain characteristics” and you’re bombarded with pages and pages of results. Each one claiming to tell you which one you are.

This left brain right brain idea originated back in the 1960s, as a result of research done by Roger W. Sperry.((The Nobel Prize: Roger W. Sperry))

It’s well known that the right and left sides of our brains are different, but can we group people into the left brain people and the right brain people? Is it that simple?

A team of neuroscientists at the University of Utah spent two years testing this out, studying over 1,000 people’s brains to see if it was indeed true. What their research revealed, was that both sides were more or less equal in their activity on average.

“Language tends to be on the left, attention more on the right. But people don’t tend to have a stronger left- or right-sided brain network. It seems to be determined more connection by connection.”  – Dr. Jeff Anderson (lead author)((Dr. Jeff Anderson: An Evaluation of the Left-Brain vs. Right-Brain Hypothesis with Resting State Functional Connectivity Magnetic Resonance Imaging))

So be careful when surfing the interwebs. The self proclaimed brain messiah’s aren’t always doing their research, and whilst graphics like above seem cool, they aren’t very accurate. You don’t belong in a box of left brain or right brain.

Lesson:

People aren’t either logical or creative. You can be both.

Don’t limit your thinking and capabilities by believing this myth. You get better at what you work at.

Myth #2: Believing you’re hardwired for happiness

Many people I’ve coached over the years demonstrate this crippling flaw:

We tend to think of our problems, worries, etc. as something unique to us. We mistakenly believe that we are unique in this way.

However, let me reveal something to you having worked with tens of THOUSANDS people from around the world. Something which may surprise you.

Our mental biases and flaws are quite common. We tend to make very similar mistakes.

Instead of personalizing all your problems and over identifying with them. What if you saw the challenges you face as problems created by the brain generally, instead of something you are doing?

Think of it this way:

Imagine you have a faulty mobile phone that can only operate for 2 hours at 100% capacity at a time. Then it needs a short break.

Now, you could view this as a problem with your specific mobile, and get angry and frustrated that you had such bad luck.

Or perhaps, realize the truth.

What if it was just a manufacturing fault? But one you can’t “fix” immediately by going to the Apple Store because it was built two million years ago for a different environment.

Obviously I’m simplifying things a little (Ok, a lot). However the point I’m making is simple:

Your problems aren’t unique. We all suffer from them. So plan for the common pitfalls so you can avoid them.

“We have a two million-year-old brain that isn’t designed to be happy, but to survive.”  — Tony Robbins

As the above quote so beautifully summarizes, your brain is designed to help you to survive first and foremost. This mechanism is both deep and complex.

In my work, we often identify these subconscious patterns and make sure they’re running in alignment to the specific goal you desire to achieve.

Something which most people are totally unaware or uninterested in discovering, so they are doomed to repeat the same mistakes again and again no matter how hard they try.

These “software faults” are ones we all experience from time to time:

  • Not feeling motivated to go to the gym
  • Not feeling confident about starting a new project or idea
  • Being randomly affected by weird moods or feelings

But the difference between those who succeed, and those who dabble and get frustrated is simple:

Working on our weak areas consistently and planning for them.

Lesson:

Think of your brain like an old computer, full of some common bugs and viruses we all contend with.

Accept these flaws, learn about how they manifest themselves for you in particular, then work on improving them so you can perform better.

Myth #3: Believing your personality traits are fixed

You have personality traits (often from childhood) that (for most) won’t change.

But before you get demoralized and reach for that jar of chocolate chip cookies again, that doesn’t mean that you CAN’T change.

It just takes work.

Realistically, most people still won’t change their personalities for two reasons:

  • They like the safe, comfortable option of staying the same (let’s face it – it’s quite easy)
  • They don’t know they can change

Fortunately for you, we’ve already dispelled the idea that you cannot change your personality traits. So you’re immediately ahead of most people.

There are so many different theories and ideas about what your personality is, how we can measure it and how it comes to be.

The general consensus is that it’s shaped in the early years of our lives and (generally) stays stable over time.

The most widely accepted is something known as the “Five Factor Model”, stating that there are five basic personality traits that can define us: openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism.

These traits shape and influence how we react to different experiences and events in our lifetime.

But here’s the thing:

Defining events, traumatic experiences can all trigger changes in who we are, and how we are.

One of the latest study integrating 14 longitudinal studies that gathered information about people’s personalities, found that from the Big Five personality traits — all of them showed major fluctuations across individual participants’ lives.((Eileen Graham: A Coordinated Analysis of Big-Five Trait Change Across 16 Longitudinal Samples))

Lesson:

The best way to think of your personality is like a mould of clay. It’s already in a rough shape, hardening over time. But you can work to change and adjust it.

Myth #4: Believing you only use 10% of your brain

This myth is simply not true. If I cut 90% of your brain out, would you still function?

No!

Imagine that what is known about our brains is like the volume inside a balloon.

Imagine that what is unknown is the infinite space outside of the balloon.

The surface of the balloon, the interface between the known and the unknown, represents questions. The larger the volume inside the balloon, the larger the balloon surface.

The more we know, the more questions we have.

It’s simply not true that we only use 10% of our brains.

What’s more accurate is that we don’t always perform to our maximum mental capacities.

Different factors — motivation, environment, overall health, sleep — all exert different levels of influence on how close to 100% we perform at any given time.

So why does this myth exist? Why is it so appealing?

Probably because of the untapped human potential it implies that we have huge pools of dormant mental powers, which if used, could help us achieve so much more.

Lesson:

We don’t just use 10% of our brains. We use 100% of them.

But not all of us are performing and achieving to our highest standards. Find out what blocks you have and work at improving every day.

Myth #5: Believing that smart people have bigger brains

When it comes to size, we’re obsessed with believing that bigger is better.

The simple fact is that a bigger brain has no ultimate bearing or indication on our intelligence.

A very easy way to debunk this myth is to look at the animal kingdom. A cow has a bigger brain than a chimpanzee. But is it smarter?

A whale or an elephant have a bigger brain than a human. But are they smarter?

Many neuroscientists now agree that it isn’t size, but the complexity of neural connections that truly determine a brain’s capacity and potential.

To translate this, it’s not size that matters most. It’s how efficiently different parts of your brain communicate with each other.

Lesson:

It’s not how big your brain is that matters most, but how well the different parts communicate.

Train your brain to connect different ideas, senses, intelligences together and keep learning everyday.

Myth #6: Believing women and men have different brains

Of all the myths here, this perhaps is one of the most damaging.

It sets you up to behave according to a preconceived idea of how you should or shouldn’t behave based on your sex.

Let’s start with what is true.

Yes, there are some very very minor anatomical differences between male and female brains.

However, this difference has never been linked to a difference in ability. What we do know, is that any distinction which is created is the by product of our own cultural conditioning.

If there is a difference, or inequality, it is one created by our society.

A common misconception is that women do better when you test them accordingly to emotional intelligence and empathy. The anatomy of the brain runs counter to this however.

The hippocampus, associated with memory, is typically larger in women, while the amygdala, involved in emotion, is larger in men, which is quite contrary to the myth.

Lesson:

Your sex does not determine what you are fated to be good or bad at. It’s often the result of our cultural conditioning.

Reflect on your own gender biases and avoid stereotyping yourself or others based on this.

Myth #7: Believing you know what makes you happy

This probably surprised you a little, didn’t it?

Deep breaths. Allow me to explain:

We commonly believe that we know exactly what will make us happy and unhappy.

The truth however is that this isn’t (totally) true. We massively overestimate how happy we think something will make us feel — gifts, promotions, marriages, divorces — you name it.

Even when it comes to money, countless studies have shown that beyond a certain point (around 77,000USD/year), money doesn’t really make us that much happier.

Conversely, the things that we fear and avoid don’t make us as unhappy as we expect.

The commute on a Monday morning is nowhere near as bad as we think, nor is the awkward conversation with an estranged family member or friend.

The most soul crushing tragedies — breakups, losing a loved one — cause us despair and grief, but don’t last as long as we anticipate.

Lesson:

Things are never as bad as they first seem, or as good as they first seem. You’re not that good at predicting how you will feel, or felt about the future or the past.

Myth #8: Believing you lose mental power over time

When we’re young, it’s easier to take risks and try new things to some degree. But as we age, we seek our comfort and routines.

Until eventually, those same patterns and routines become shackles.

Maybe that’s why you haven’t:

  • Stuck to that workout or yoga routine you want to get better at.
  • Finished the book you say you want to write and publish.
  • Started that business idea you’re thinking and talking about so often.

Many people fall into this trap of believing they “lose it” over time, and this mental error quickly sends them on a downward spiral of stagnation and mediocrity.

I want you to realize something:

Your brain and intelligence can get better with age.

So be excited, not demoralized!

It’s well known in business circles for example, that you get better as an entrepreneur as you age. The same is true in so many other fields too.

Of course there are some cognitive skills which decline in efficiency as you age – learning new languages, memorising a list of random words, counting backward by sevens.

But who cares?

Vocabulary, judgement of character, social wisdom, conflict resolution, emotional regulation and finding purpose – these are all skills that matter, which we are proven to get better at over time.

Sounds exciting, doesn’t it?

Well, let me take you a step further.

Not only can you get smarter over time, you can even continue (literally) growing your brain.

A brain which is active, for example learning new languages, trying new skills and hobbies, develops a richer connected network of brain cells. Taking it further, this “brain growth” also helps to prevent dementia and other diseases.

So no, it is not true that your mental decline is inevitable. Quite the opposite, the effects can be stopped and even reversed through mental exercise. The best part is you don’t even need to do it for that long.

In a study of more than 3,000 people aged 65 and over, just 10 hours training over several weeks in memory, problem-solving and decision-making resulted in significant and prolonged increases in cognitive ability.

Lesson:

Spend 10 to 15 minutes daily working on your memory, problem solving and decision making.

One of my favourites (which is a lot of fun) is to play Chess puzzles for free on lichess.com.

Myth #9: Believing there are 5 senses & one measure of intelligence

What if I told you that you don’t have just 5 senses? And school only tested you on one measure of intelligence?

Would you believe me?

A commonly held belief that most of us have is that we have 5 senses and one type of intelligence.

It’s not your fault either, our entire paradigm of education only ever tests us on one “type” of intelligence” – via exams and essays. When in actuality, there are eight types of intelligence.

Just think:

There’s probably a type of intelligence that you may be a genius in, that you were never even tested on in school.

A comforting thought for those of us who didn’t ace every math or english test.

Additionally, there are not just 5 senses. But six more:

  1. Equilibrioception: A sense of balance, otherwise known as your internal GPS.
  2. Proprioception: A sense of where your body parts are and what they’re doing.
  3. Nociception: A sense of pain.
  4. Thermo(re)ception: A sense of temperature.
  5. Chronoception: A sense of the passage of time.
  6. Interoception: A sense of your internal needs, like hunger, thirst, needing to use the bathroom, etc.

The most fascinating part is that when we contrast this to other species, there are so many more senses we don’t have. Bats and dolphins can use sonar to find prey, sharks can sense electrical fields, and birds and turtles can even orient to the earth’s magnetic fields.

If anything, this displays how much more there is to know that we cannot even comprehend.

Here’s a philosophical quote that builds on this idea, from one of my favourite wise men, Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev:

“You are seeking the infinite through the physical. Can the physical ever become infinite? The physical is finite, always within a finite boundary, it can never be infinite. It’s like you are riding a bullock cart but your destination is the moon, and somebody is saying buy yourself a new whip. If your destination is the moon, you need an appropriate vehicle. So through the physical if you are seeking the infinite, there will only be frustration.”

Lesson:

You are more intelligent than you may know. You have more senses than you know. But equally, there are vast oceans of unknowns too that you can’t comprehend.

Keep expanding and learning constantly, don’t rest on the knowledge you have. Strive to unlearn and learn simultaneously. Stay humble.

Myth #10: Believing your memories are accurate

This last myth is quite mind blowing.

What if I told you that your memories are not real? And that each time you access them, the more distorted they become?

If we just take a glance of the various types of biases that the brain has – there are at least 20!

There’re so many different ways in which the brain we have, has small errors or faults built into it.

And here is just one of them:

Every time you access memories, you project your current feelings and mindset onto that memory. As a result, your memory itself changes.

Mind blowing, right?

But how does this help you?

Well each time you look back on an experience, you are changing it. This means you can’t accurately predict or recall how things really were.

Knowing this, how much more important are those seemingly menial things like:

  • Creating a daily journal of what you are thinking, feeling and planning to look back on later.
  • Keeping clear and up to date records of your workout progression.
  • Tracking your to do lists, goals and plans throughly to keep yourself focused.

Lesson:

You aren’t able to recall things as accurately as you might think. So take diligent notes always in everything you do.

From your feelings, hopes and dreams to your day to day budgeting, to-do lists and more. These written records will help you remember things more accurately!

Have you found yourself understand a lot more about your brain? The most popular myths about left brain and right brain are now busted. It’s your turn to really develop your brain’s potential and don’t get restricted by those myths!

We’d arrived in St Malo a week earlier after a relaxing overnight crossing with Brittany Ferries, then headed to Carnac Plage and Eurocamp’s Des Menhirs site with its fabulous sports and swimming complex.

I wimped out on the water slides but the two big kids with me loved them.

With loads of activities and within easy reach of a beach, Des Menhirs makes a great family destination, while Carnac itself is a delightful resort of pretty houses, meandering footpaths and, of course, those renowned and impressive avenues of standing stones.

A few miles away lies the Gulf of Morbihan and Port Blanc.

Here we hopped on the Izenah Croisières ferry for the five-minute crossing of the glorious bay to the Île-aux-Moines, where a jumble of fishermen’s cottages and winding alleyways combine with a profusion of wild flowers and mind-blowing views to create a timeless feel of an earlier era.

As we pedalled our hired bikes around this exquisite gem of an island, we encountered a total of three cars.

The following day we headed to Paimpont and the fabled, myth-haunted forest of Brocéliande that lies in the heart of Brittany.

Here Merlin, the enchanter of Arthurian legend, still lies imprisoned beneath his rock after losing heart and liberty to the nymph Viviane; the scheming Morgan le Fay’s stronghold is nearby in Val Sans Retour; those of pure heart may find the fountain of youth; while at Fontaine de Barenton toss water on to a stone to summon a violent storm and a mounted knight.

Alas, my attempt raised neither storm nor knight in shining armour.

So no change there, then…

At La Porte des Secrets, an extravagant son et lumière spectacle revealed the hidden world of the age-old forest, its history, inhabitants and legends.

Had we arrived a couple of weeks later, an English language version would have been available but instead we relied on a dynamic translation from tourism director Suzanne Noël.

From here we went to the city of Josselin, a fascinating warren of medieval streets in the shadow of an 11th-century chateau. Fantastic electric bikes from Ti War An Dour whizzed us along the towpath of the Nantes-Brest Canal, past decorative cottages and Brittany’s only floating gîtes.

Back in Carnac we picked out gifts among the Asterix souvenirs at Maison des Mégalithes before viewing some of the thousands of standing stones put up in the area about 7,000 years ago.

Our guide, Isabelle, was happy to explain the hows, whens and wherefores of the alignments, but not the whys.

They remain a mystery.

Inspired, though, we hired bikes (electric, of course) and, channelling our inner Obelixes, set off in search of yet more dolmens and menhirs.

Then it was off to Mohon for fabulous folk and a fantastic welcome at Le Manoir, from where, three days later amid the echoing strains of Wild Mountain Thyme and promises of a repeat performance in 2019, we returned to St Malo.

Here we were given a fascinating tour of the old city by our entertaining guide Nathalie and on the ramparts, at restaurant Le Corps de Garde we lunched on gorgeous galettes washed down with the local Sorre cider while contemplating the magical land we were about to leave – reluctantly and amid hopes of an early return.

You can quickly become one of them.Start by knowing these myths about people skills that are very alive in today’s society, but essentially not true.

1. You have to be friends with everyone?

This is a common and ridiculous myth that causes many people unnecessary stress.So let’s get this straight. No, you don’t have to be friends with everyone.Not everyone has to like you. And you don’t have to like everybody.Once you truly accept that this myth is a lie, you’ll feel oh-so-relieved.Think of it as a personal preference similar to liking or disliking certain food. There isn’t a single food in the world that every single person loves. Even if it’s the greatest steak or a heavenly honey cake, some people just don’t like meat or cakes.Now, would you analyze what’s wrong with the heavenly cake just because someone said they didn’t like cakes?Probably not.So why do we do it to ourselves?Instead of criticizing yourself, remember:If you are trying to be liked and approved of by everyone, you risk losing your uniqueness.You might not even want to be liked by certain types of people. At the end of the day, being loved by yourself is what truly matters.

2. You have to cling to your point of view?

Some people believe that clinging to the same rules and beliefs makes them look genuine and confident. But in most cases, flexibility is a much more important people skill that many popular people share and appreciate.Talented communicators know how to shift gears when the context demands it, while still staying true to their personality. They can respond accordingly to what the current situation requires, even if they have to bend their principles a little or keep their thoughts to themselves.In addition, people appreciate an open mind, as opposed to someone who stubbornly sticks to their truth. Even if you have firm beliefs, leave a window for your interlocutor’s point of view and feedback that could reinforce – or shake – your own opinions.Being known as an open-minded person also makes you more approachable and easier to work with.

3. You have to be hard-working to succeed?

We are not going to deny that hard work is key to achieving greatness. Indeed, it’s very unlikely that success and popularity will just fall in your lap one day.However, today there’s a generally accepted notion that success is not about working harder.It’s about working smarter.In fact, one study showed that some of the most productive people have a very balanced work/rest ratio. Namely, they work intensively for 52 minutes and then fully rest for 17 minutes. The same study concluded that the top 10% most productive people were not even working 8 hour days.If you do feel that you have to work 8 hours or more on some days, make sure you don’t overdo overtime. Studies show that overtime is generally unproductive, as humans are not able to focus for prolonged periods of time.((Desk Time: Should I stay or should I go? – Tips on working overtime))Better have a rest, spend time with your family or friends and come back to work recharged and inspired.

4. You can find time for everything?

If you truly want to do something, you can always find time for it.Well, not really.Finding time for something is linked to setting priorities. If you want to take up something new, you’ll have to say goodbye to something else you’re doing. Otherwise, you’ll be juggling several things and not going “all in” on any of them.Jason Fried, CEO of Project management software Basecamp has often stressed the difference between time and attention, naming attention his most valuable asset:((Jason Fried: Time and attention aren’t the same thing))

“If I’m too busy to take something on, I shouldn’t say “I don’t have the time.” In fact, I often do have the time. What I don’t have – and what I can’t squeeze in – is more attention.”

And remember, not everyone deserves your attention. Before setting out for a new project, hobby or friendship, evaluate if it’s worth to invest yourself in it.

5. You always have to be in a good mood and positive?

It’s true that positive thinking is a powerful force that can even have a positive impact on your health.((Harvard Review: Take it to heart: Positive emotions may be good for health))However, nobody can be genuinely cheerful 365 days a year. There will be days when you’ve really had enough of everything, and you might want to curl up and be alone, or even cry yourself to sleep.Then that’s exactly what you should do.If you’re having a bad day, don’t go out to show it off – unless you are sure that being with other people will lift your spirits. Try to show your happy face to people but don’t hide and pretend if you’re simply not in a good mood.However, it’s a different story if your bad mood continues for weeks. In that case, you should look for a friend – or a specialist – to share your thoughts and feelings with.

6. You have to be an extrovert to be successful?

We live in a vibrant and competitive time, where communication seems to be the key to success. Because of this trend, there’s a common misconception that only the outgoing and daring people can achieve real success.This is indeed a myth because introverted people have many other strengths that can help them become successful and popular.Look:Introverts are thoughtful, interested in self-knowledge and have excellent observation ability.Their skills like patience, ability to maintain in-depth focus and attention to detail help them reach higher productivity.To prove this, there are numerous successful introverts in various professions and areas, from Albert Einstein to Bill Gates, JK Rowling, Steven Spielberg, Mark Zuckerberg, and even Hillary Clinton.

7. You have to say yes to everything?

From childhood, we are taught to be polite and agree to do stuff just to please other people.But in today’s hectic age, when time is often worth more than money, learning to say “no” is a mighty skill.If you try to please too many people too often, you have probably noticed that this tendency is stress inducing and sometimes halts your personal and professional development.Popular people already know that being able to say “no” doesn’t mean that you’re rude or rejecting suggestions just for the sake of it. On the contrary – it shows you have an opinion, a cause, or a plan.As Steve Jobs famously said:

“It’s only by saying “no” that you can concentrate on the things that are really important.”

The art is in finding the right balance between constantly pleasing others and being a negative person who never agrees to help others.Try to ask yourself if this task, meeting, event or activity will be beneficial to yourself or contribute to a cause you believe in?If it won’t, just say the magic two-letter word.No.And you will discover how liberating it feels.

8. You should be the leader of your group?

Every group – either a workplace or a pack of friends – has many important roles besides the leader. There’s the Organizer, the Party Animal, the Mom, the Joker and many other social roles.((Odyssey: The 9 Types Of Friends Found In Your Typical Friend Group)) Not everyone has to be a leader of the group.Instead of focusing on how to be a leader, work on improving your team-building skills or embrace your own unique position in the gang.However, if you feel like your standing in the group should be raised, follow these tips to become a natural leader:

  • Take the initiative of planning and serve as a mediator between friends with different interests. If you are in charge of the plan or activity, your friends or colleagues will naturally look at you for support and guidance.
  • Invite your friends over to your house. In your own environment, you’ll naturally be a host, a guide, and a leader.
  • Suggest a common activity that you know well – thus you’ll be able to guide your group through it.
  • Help resolve issues between friends and colleagues and foster positivity.

In any case, remember that you don’t necessarily have to be a leader to be a valued member of the group.

9. You have to “know how to talk”?

People are used to words because they are the most effective means of communication.Well…not really.Many studies agree that body language often dominates verbal communication.((Entrepreneur: You Don’t Say? Body Language Speaks Volumes More Than Words.)) In fact, we are communicating with people all the time, even when we’re not speaking.Being mindful of what our voice, gestures, expressions, and appearance are communicating can significantly enhance or harm our people skills.((Entrepreneur: 7 Ways Body Language Speaks Louder Than Words))

10. You always have to be available?

If you’re a person of many responsibilities at work and home, you probably feel that you have to be reachable 24/7.However, too many people counting on you can be tiring and annoying.If your colleagues don’t take any decisions before consulting you, or if your kids call you every time they cannot find something around the house, you have to draw that line in the sand.First, tell your colleagues that you are not available after working hours or ask them to send text messages instead of calling.Keep your phone on in case something important comes up, but refrain from constantly being available on social media and messaging platforms. You will discover that blocking social media sites for a while can be very rewarding and soothing for your nerves.((Freedom Matters: How Blocking Apps for a Month Improved My Mood and Productivity))

11. You have to agree with everything that senior or authoritative people say?

Since childhood, we’ve been told to listen to elders, do what the teachers say and not question the opinion of scholars and authorities.As adults, we have to decide for ourselves.Surely, you should be appreciative towards advice given by someone who has unique experience or knowledge about a particular topic. However, you shouldn’t take any external opinion as a universal truth.In fact, Albert Einstein was notorious for disregarding any authority and was frequently punished for it in his youth. But it was this contempt for authority that made him challenge many existing beliefs and come up with groundbreaking discoveries.He famously said:

“Blind belief in authority is the greatest enemy of truth.”

12. You should go with the flow?

“Going with the flow” can be a good strategy in some situations.But it probably won’t get you far.Successful people are not afraid to take up more responsibility and change the course of events.As Sigmund Freud said:

“Most people do not really want freedom because freedom involves responsibility, and most people are frightened of responsibility.”

If you want to succeed, take up the reins of your life. Leave going with the flow for weekend parties and holidays.

13. You should keep your problems to yourself?

Nobody likes a person who always complains and only speaks about their problems. But keeping all your troubles inside can be equally harmful.Not to your public image, but to your mental and physical health.Several studies have confirmed that suppressing negative emotions can lead to heart diseases and certain types of cancer.((HuffPost: Keeping Your Emotions Bottled Up Could Kill You))If anger, depression, and anxiety are building up inside you for a prolonged period of time, make sure to find someone to talk to, as well as switch to a healthier lifestyle.Even if your sources of worry and stress are more mundane, talking to someone can help you to release tension and look at the problem from a different perspective.

14. You should be spontaneous and fun?

People are created differently. Some of us are great at improvising and entertaining while others are planners, organizers, and thinkers. A healthy group of friends or colleagues will embrace both and many more character types.It’s true that a great sense of humor is a valuable people skill.However, sometimes understanding jokes is even more important than making them. And it’s definitely better not to make jokes at all than try to force them.When you are with your friends or colleagues, just relax, observe the people around you and their reactions. And follow these tips for leading more effectively with humor.

15. You should be patient all the time?

Sure, patience is an admirable quality – it’s even listed among the seven Christian virtues. However, there is a point where patience can get confused with submissiveness, procrastination or even laziness.If you are waiting for things to happen, instead of working (or even fighting) towards your goal, you are losing an opportunity, not being patient.If you are in a relationship that doesn’t work and “patiently” waiting for something to change, you are misleading yourself and evading a decision.If you are stuck at work that isn’t rewarding and promise yourself to “do something about it next year,” you are not being patient. You are procrastinating and depriving yourself of happiness.

16. You should be modest?

Humility is another heavenly virtue often misunderstood. When do you cross the line between being politely modest and overly humble and sheepish?If you keep telling people that you or the work you do are “nothing special”, they will most probably believe you. But how do you find the midway between bragging and underestimating yourself?First of all, you have to keep in mind who’s your interlocutor. For example, you probably shouldn’t discuss your promotion with someone who just lost their job.Second, when someone asks about your achievements don’t make them sound like “nothing special” – not even if you’re joking. Explain why what you do is important, but don’t make all the evening conversations about it.

Take advantage of the people skills you already have

Before you start striving to develop certain people skills, take a deeper look at yourself.You definitely already have precious character traits that differentiate you from the people around you.So stop thinking about what you SHOULD be. Instead, make the most of who you ARE.And forget bogus myths that make you feel like you aren’t living up to some imagined standards.

You’re not alone: everyone wants to eke out more time from their iPhone battery.

But you might not be going about it the right way. Because so many people have iPhones, a lot of conventional wisdom about iPhone battery life can be similar to folk wisdom. 

But that’s not to say there aren’t ways you can improve your battery life by changing specific settings or the way you use your iPhone.

Here are five common myths about iPhone battery life, what you can do about them, and sources where you can find additional information: 

Myth #1: Closing apps you’re not using can save battery life

Apple

It’s a safe bet that at some point you know someone who compulsively shuts off apps on their smartphone to save battery.

They hit the home button twice, and then swipe up on various apps they’ve used in the past until the carousel is cleared.

In fact, this does not save battery, and may actually use extra power when you re-open apps you’ve totally switched off. Apple’s top software executive even confirmed this in an email to a user. 

“You should force an app to close only when it’s unresponsive,” Apple wrote in a support page. 

You can read a more thorough debunking of this myth here. 

Myth #2: Charging your phone overnight can hurt the battery

Hollis Johnson/Business Insider

For years, some users have insisted that plugging your smartphone in while you sleep can harm the battery.

Maybe this made sense years ago, but it’s overblown today. Instead, your battery lifespan depends on “cycle count,” or how many times you’ve charged it over its lifetime. 

Modern smartphones, including the iPhone, have advanced power management that means that they won’t take in more current than is necessary to charge them — meaning that leaving it plugged in after it reaches 100% won’t have any effect. 

“All rechargeable batteries are consumables and have a limited lifespan — eventually their capacity and performance decline so that they need to be replaced,” Apple writes in a support document. 

There’s more information about why it’s safe to charge your phone overnight here. 

Myth #3: Apple’s $ 29 battery replacements are guaranteed to improve your device’s battery life

Apple

There was a minor scandal last year when it was discovered that Apple sometimes reduced the power to iPhone processors with old and spent batteries.

Basically, Apple did make some iPhones appear to run slower. It fixed the issue in a software update and offered $ 29 replacement batteries to users.

But just because you can get a battery for $ 29 doesn’t mean it will solve all your battery life issues. For some people, it could. But if you go to an Apple store and the technician said your battery seems fine, it probably is. 

“I would say less than 10% of the phones we have ordered batteries for actually need a battery, based on diagnostics,” a Genius at a Midwestern Apple store told Business Insider earlier this year. 

To check if your battery needs a replacement, go to Settings > Battery > Battery Health (Beta).

If you don’t see it, you probably need to update your iPhone software.

If your “maximum capacity” is under 80%, you might want to change it. Otherwise, if you’re only missing a few percentage points, you can probably wait.

With months of good weather ahead, it’s an excellent time to set out on an adventure. But if you run into trouble, you’ll want to make sure you know what to do.

Sure, you have to look out for ticks and mosquitoes, but there’s something about the idea of being able to survive in the wilderness that’s thrilling. We glorify it with TV shows like “Survivor” and “Man vs. Wild.”

But survival in the harsh conditions of nature is no simple affair, and most lessons can’t be learned from television. In fact, some of the “survival advice” that we’ve picked up over the years is wrong, often dangerously so.

Here are some myths you don’t want to rely on if a short jaunt outdoors turns disastrous.

Myth: You can suck the venom out of a snakebite.

Shayanne Gal/Dragan Radovanovic/Business Insider

Fact: If a bite delivers venom, it’ll immediately enter the bloodstream. Putting your mouth on the bite will deliver extra bacteria to the wound and may simply get venom into your mouth and esophagus. If someone gets bitten, try to keep the person’s heart rate low and hold the affected limb below heart level while getting to a hospital.

Myth: Always play dead when you are attacked by a bear.

Shayanne Gal/Dragan Radovanovic/Business Insider

Fact: If you are out in the woods and you see a bear, the general advice is to quietly back away. If it’s in your yard or around your campsite, make yourself large and loud, which hopefully will scare it off.

But in the case of an actual attack, your reaction strategy should depend on the bear and on the type of attack. Never play dead if a black bear attacks — always fight back.

In most cases, a brown or grizzly bear attacks to defend itself or its cubs. At these times it will warn you off by making noise and pretending to charge. Back away from a defensive attack slowly. If the bear makes contact, play dead lying on your stomach with your hands over your neck. But in the rare case of a predatory attack, which comes with no warning (or if the bear seems to be stalking you), fight for your life.

Myth: You need to find a food supply immediately if you are lost in the wilderness.

Shayanne Gal/Dragan Radovanovic/Business Insider

Fact: Not even close. You can survive up to six weeks without food. The exact amount of time might vary, depending on starting point and other health issues, but water and shelter from the elements are far more important.

]]> https://briefnews.eu/10-survival-myths-that-might-get-you-killed/feed/ 0 The director of HBO’s Andre the Giant documentary explains how he debunked some major myths and got Vince McMahon to cry https://briefnews.eu/the-director-of-hbos-andre-the-giant-documentary-explains-how-he-debunked-some-major-myths-and-got-vince-mcmahon-to-cry/ https://briefnews.eu/the-director-of-hbos-andre-the-giant-documentary-explains-how-he-debunked-some-major-myths-and-got-vince-mcmahon-to-cry/#respond Wed, 11 Apr 2018 13:29:05 +0000 http://briefnews.eu/the-director-of-hbos-andre-the-giant-documentary-explains-how-he-debunked-some-major-myths-and-got-vince-mcmahon-to-cry/ Andre The Giant WWEWWE

Director Jason Hehir spent over a year doing the ultimate deep-dive into the life of legendary professional wrestler Andre the Giant to separate the man from the myth for his HBO documentary.

The journey took Hehir all over the globe and face-to-face with some of the biggest names in wrestling.

Business Insider talked to Hehir to break down some of the biggest revelations, talk  about his emotional encounter with Vince McMahon, and ask why the Samuel Beckett story isn’t in the movie.

Finding Andre’s real hometown.

HBO

Up until the day “Andre the Giant” aired on HBO, the wrestler’s Wikipedia page stated that he was born and raised in Grenoble, France. Like most of the world, whoever contributed that piece to his Wikipedia page thought the hometown given during his introduction to the ring was the truth. But that was just one of many inaccuracies about Andre Roussimoff.

Hehir discovered that Andre was born in Moliens, a small village of 40 people six miles outside of Paris. Andre’s wrestling backstory of him coming from Grenoble was created early in his wrestling career when he was touted by promoters as a friendly lumberjack found in the mountains. 

“The most recognizable town in the Alps to a North American audience was Grenoble because they hosted the Olympics,” Hehir said.

Once Andre’s real hometown was discovered, Hehir and his crew traveled to Moliens with a few pictures of Andre with family friends. 

“We literally went door to door and just walked the streets of that village showing these photos to people via a translator, because the people there spoke zero English,” Hehir said. 


They also found Andre’s two brothers. One let Hehir and his crew into the family’s home where Andre grew up and there they found a treasure trove of old photos and wrestling memorabilia of Andre’s never before seen by the public. They also filmed the giant chair for Andre in the kitchen, which is featured in the documentary. Andre’s mother had it specifically made for him.

“Andre the Giant is a mythical character, but Andre Roussimoff is a mother’s son and she wanted him to be comfortable when he came home,” Hehir said. “She had that made for him. He was still her baby though he could barely fit through the door.”

Vince McMahon’s emotional recollection of Andre.

HBO

One of the most shocking moments of the documentary is toward the end when during an interview with WWE owner Vince McMahon be begins to choke up and hold back tears when talking about how much Andre meant to him and his company (despite the two having a falling out at the end of Andre’s career).

Hehir said that wasn’t the first time McMahon, known for his tough guy swagger, showed a softer side in front of him.


“He got emotional when no cameras were there,” Hehir said. “The first meeting I had with him I mentioned that Andre had a really close relationship with his daughter and he got pretty emotional there.” 

Hehir said that McMahon agreed to do a 45-minute interview for the movie and Hehir could come back later in production to shoot any follow-ups with him. The 45-minute shoot turned into a three-hour interview.

McMahon getting emotional on camera was hard to film, Hehir said.

“Vince seemed to be trying to keep it together and as an interviewer it’s excruciating because your instinct is to turn the camera off,” he said. “But you have a responsibility to the viewer to let them experience this feeling vicariously through the person who knows the subject well, so we included that in the film.”

That was really Hulk Hogan’s handwritten choreographed outline of his WrestleMania III match with Andre.

HBO

For wrestling die hards the recollections by Hulk Hogan of the lead-up to his match with Andre at WrestleMania III are something special. One great detail is him explaining how he wrote out the entire match on a yellow legal pad McMahon gave him when McMahon asked the wrestler how he thought the match should go down. Hogan scripted the entire match, but left how it would end empty for Andre to decide. Andre didn’t reveal the ending until during the match, according to Hogan. 


In the movie, while Hogan is telling the story, there are shots of yellow legal pad sheets with handwriting on them. Hehir said that’s really Hogan’s handwriting of the match.


“That yellow legal pad is crucial to the telling of that story,” he said. “But that has been long crumbled and thrown into the trash. Probably the night of the event. So for months I tried to get Hogan to recreate to the best of his recollection what he wrote down.”


Hehir interviewed Hogan for the movie in April of 2017. He said he finally got the pages from Hogan in the middle of December on the final day they could possibly get it into the movie before handing a finished version over to HBO. 

“When we got it you could feel your heart beat opening the envelope,” Hehir said. “I told Hogan even if he could write a few lines we could shoot them really tight, he ended up writing all those pages you see in the shot — two single-spaced pages. And he wrote it as if he was in the moment, so if you freeze frame it you can see it says something like, ‘Don’t let Andre see this.’”


“Any of us could have written those pages and no one would know whose handwriting it was,” Hehir continued. “But I just thought it would be a cool wink to people who do know this world that they would recognize Hogan’s handwriting.”

  • Everyone has heard of a favorite hangover cure, but people still often find themselves searching for something that’ll actually work to cure a hangover.
  • That’s partially because many hangover cures are myths.
  • In honor of St. Patrick’s Day, we explore the truth behind the myths.

Everyone’s heard some version of a hangover cure.

Some people swear that remembering to chug water before bed will cure a hangover. Others have more elaborate routines, involving various types of food, drink, or physical activity.

The problem with trying to find a hangover cure is that many aspects of what causes a hangover are still a mystery to science. But that doesn’t mean every hangover cure is bunk.

From what we can tell, hangovers are at least partially — perhaps mostly — caused by the byproducts our bodies create when we break down alcohol. We know that people whose blood alcohol content spikes quickly suffer more severe hangovers, meaning that doing a bunch of shots is likely to send you down a dark and painful road. And we know that the more people drink, the worse the hangover they suffer after.

Unfortunately, this also means that a lot of hangover “cures” are myths. Some of them might help you feel slightly better, but the degree to which they are a cure is questionable.

In honor of St. Patrick’s Day are some of the most common myths — and the truth behind them.

Myth: Hangovers happen because you’re dehydrated — chug a glass of water before bed and you’ll be fine.

Truth: Drinking dehydrates you, and that dehydration usually accompanies a hangover but probably isn’t responsible for it.

Most hangover symptoms come from the breakdown of alcohol, not dehydration. And while we need water in our bodies to break down alcohol, we still won’t feel better until our systems have dealt with the byproducts of that process.

That said, no one wants to be dehydrated and hungover at the same time. So if you feel thirsty, chug away.

 

Myth: Liquor before beer, you’re in the clear.

Reuters/Vasily Fedosenkoi

Truth: This isn’t entirely false, but that’s not because the order you drink things changes the way your body processes them.

Alcohol is alcohol, and too much of it will make anyone feel sick.

That said, people who switch from beer to mixed drinks or straight whiskey may be less likely likely to monitor their alcohol consumption and thus drink more.

Plus, at least one small study indicates your body metabolizes carbonated drinks like beer and mixed drinks faster than higher-concentration alcohol (like a shot of whiskey). Adding liquor to a stomach-full of beer could, in theory, create a sort of mixed drink that would metabolize faster than one or the other on its own.

But in general, the biggest effect here probably comes from being less careful with liquor after a few beers.

 

Myth: You can cure a hangover with ‘hair of the dog.’

Shutterstock/Jeff Wasserman

Truth: Having a drink the morning after a session can make you feel better, but it’s not curing your hangover — it’s prolonging it.

Your body prefers to deal with ethanol instead of the painful byproducts created by breaking alcohol down, so if you give it more alcohol, it can temporarily take away the pain of breaking down alcohol’s byproducts.

But really, that’s just putting off the pain. Your body still has to break down those byproducts, which means the pain may come back even worse later.

Some researchers think this “hair of the dog” effect is why hangovers may be a risk factor for alcoholism instead of a natural deterrent to becoming an alcoholic. Studies show that alcoholics get some of the most severe hangovers around.

  • Misleading grammar myths can hold us back when we are writing or speaking. 
  • According to Oxford Dictionaries, it is perfectly acceptable to end a sentence in a conjunction such as ‘over,’ despite common practice.
  • Despite popular opinion, double negatives can be effective when used to communicate uncertainty.

Myth 1 — Never start a sentence with ‘and,’ ‘but’ or ‘so’

According to the grammar experts at the ‘Chicago Manuel of Style,’ you don’t have to do mental gymnastics to avoid starting a sentence with a conjunction. “There is a widespread belief — one with no historical or grammatical foundation — that it is an error to begin a sentence with a conjunction such as and, but, or so,” they write. “In fact, a substantial percentage (often as many as 10 percent) of the sentences in first-rate writing begin with conjunctions. It has been so for centuries, and even the most conservative grammarians have followed this practice.”

Myth 2 — Never start a sentence with ‘because’

When you’re just learning to write, starting a sentence with the word “because” can often lead to a sentence fragment. That’s why you probably learned to avoid doing so at all costs. As long as your sentence has at least one independent clause, you’re good to go.
