At some point during your teenage years, you probably developed an idea of what "success" as an adult would look like. Sticking to that definition as an adult is a surefire way to end up unhappy, according to serial hospitality entrepreneur and New York Times bestselling business author Chip Conley. "And we either tried to emulate that and live up to it, or we in some cases rebelled against it. Rather, you should "acknowledge the negative aspects ... [and] evaluate whether there's another way to think about the situation," she noted. I wonder if I can change anything about this situation or my expectations about it," wrote Maenpaa.

This skill is also known as active listening, and it requires more than just sitting in silence while someone speaks. "Active listening is when someone can listen to you at length, truly taking in what you're saying, and not interrupt," Maenpaa says. "Active listeners respond with questions because they are genuinely curious about what you're saying. Some people are "naturally gifted with [active listening skills] from an early age, and often receive feedback like, 'You're so easy to talk to!' or 'I feel like I'm the only person in the room when we talk,'" says Maenpaa.

☆ Successful people have more 'productive paranoia' than most, says bestselling author Jim Collins—here's how to cultivate it
▼ + stars: | 2023-11-20 | by ( Ashton Jackson | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +3 min

Highly successful people overcome them by having "prodigious amounts of productive paranoia," according to multi-time bestselling author and leadership expert Jim Collins. "The question is not if bad things will happen, it's when," Collins said last week at the 2023 World Business Forum summit. Sometimes, productive paranoia takes the shape of over-preparing for a presentation so you can anticipate every possible question your audience might ask. Constantly thinking about potential futures — both good and bad — is the type of productive paranoia that all professionals should have, Collins said.

The authorities have opened a hate crime investigation into the report of a hit-and-run on Friday that left an Arab Muslim student injured at Stanford University. hit the student on the campus in Stanford, Calif., just before 2 p.m. A spokeswoman for Stanford University said in an email that campus authorities issued information to the campus community as soon as they had enough details to do so. Columbia recently closed its campus to the public amid tensions between pro-Israel and pro-Palestinians protesters, and Cornell canceled classes last week after antisemitic threats.

CNN —At least five possible hate crime incidents at Stanford University since the Israel-Hamas war’s onset are under investigation, including an apparent hit-and-run crash involving an Arab Muslim student, according to the university’s public safety department. The California Highway Patrol, which investigates all injury traffic incidents on campus, is investigating the hit-and-run as “a potential hate crime,” according to the release. This incident is being investigated by the Department of Public Safety as a crime motivated by hate,” a message on the site read. School authorities say the second student also allegedly said “disgusting” before attempting to spit at the student by the display. The university said its public safety officials are also looking into the incident as a hate-motivated crime.

As the death toll rises in the Israel-Hamas war, they have become seats of anguish. On many campuses, these students agree on one thing: Their colleges, which are increasingly staking out positions of neutrality, have not done enough to support them. College officials, already under pressure to allow conservative opinions on campus, have been trying to preserve free speech and open debate. Some students were angry that a statement from the university president did not go far enough to acknowledge Palestinian deaths. “It shouldn’t be hard to support Palestinian rights and dignity ... while still condemning what Hamas did to Israeli civilians,” Spitalnick said.

AI stocks are soaring — the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite is up by about 33% this year. Around two thirds of Americans are worried about artificial intelligence taking their jobs, according to a recent Morning Consult poll. The rule essentially seeks to shift the risk of a bank failure to bondholders rather than depositors. But to get bondholders to bear the cost of banks’ potential failure, the banks would likely have to pay high interest rates. The rule unveiled Tuesday comes on the heels of a separate capital-bolstering rule the three agencies introduced in July.

These are some of the most common signs of general social anxiety:As a psychotherapist, I help many people tackle social stress. If you're overly consumed about how you're perceived, it could be a sign of social anxiety disorder or social phobia. We all care about what other people think of us to an extent, but it's possible to care too much. If you listen to yourself, you're going to start operating from that assumption. You're going to start avoiding her, and then she might start having ill feelings towards you.

As more athletic girls slammed volleyballs across the net, she worried about tripping or being hit by a ball. In order to avoid playing, she often sat on the sidelines and acted as the announcer. For years after, she told herself she was simply too clumsy for ball games. But a year ago, Ms. Chavez, now 26, began playing basketball with a friend and discovered she’s pretty good at shooting and dribbling. “Being afraid, being avoidant, did me more harm than good,” said Ms. Chavez, who said she still is so clumsy that she has the occasional accident.

☆ Abortion pill alternative: The drug that could be used if Texas ban on mifepristone upheld
▼ + stars: | 2023-04-11 | by ( Annika Kim Constantino | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +3 min

A federal judge's ruling could take the abortion pill mifepristone off the market — but there is another medication that could provide an alternative for people seeking to terminate their pregnancies. Two states in reaction to that ruling already are stockpiling supplies of misoprostol, the drug that doctors typically prescribe with mifepristone to induce an abortion. That leaves misoprostol available as a safe and effective treatment for women who want to end their pregnancies. Some U.S. abortion providers are prepared to offer misoprostol as a stand-alone treatment, according to Jenny Ma, senior staff attorney at the Center for Reproductive Rights, a legal advocacy group that represents abortion providers worldwide. A study released in February by abortion researchers at the University of Texas in Austin found that misoprostol was 88% effective at causing an abortion.
