Favorite book of mine: Essentials of Understanding Psychology, by Robert S. Feldman

A favorite book of mine: Essentials of Understanding Psychology, by Robert S. Feldman (Amazon link »). An old review of mine (I will review this later on): I want to discuss in this message about the work “Essentials of Understanding Psychology”, written by Professor Robert S. FELDMAN (available on Amazon). How did I buy it? The Doulos vessel, a vessel on which culture and books are promoted, came to Constanta at a certain time, in the summer of 2003. I am from Navodari, I was in Navodari at that time, and when I heard the news I was happy. I always liked to read very much, so I took advantage of the event. I was in Constanta especially for the event, at 9 o’clock I was in the port, and I waited properly for the opening of the ship where international books were bought at good prices. There were so many people there! And a steam beauty. I looked at almost all the books on the ship, more leisurely or on the run. I chose about 5 books in English, and one of them was “Essentials of Understanding Psychology”, which I mentioned above. To give you an idea, the last version has 563 pages and is probably in the same format, A4. It’s an enormity of a book. At that time, I did not understand English 100%, but I wrote down any new word and later looked it up in a dictionary on the Internet. And give it to him and read it and look …

On one-page websites

I like one-page websites quite a bit.

A single, long page, where you add all the basic information (who you are, the services/products you offer, contact details), all in one place.

You could add things like Terms and Conditions, a Privacy Policy, and perhaps a blog, but, all-in-all, you could do a lot of things by having just a single page.

Find such examples here: One Page WordPress Themes from ThemeForest.

Sometimes, you can’t do a one-page website; you might need something more complex.

But if the project scope allows for it, I suggest you go for it – create a one-page website.

Parody movies and dramas on IMDb ratings

de
The Batman

I like parody movies. They entertain me and force me to try and understand references. But this kind of movie tends to be a bit silly. Also, they tend to get low IMDb ratings.

On the other hand, there are quite some well-made movies, like dramas or suspenseful movies. These movies might leave you in an unhappy state. But, because they’re smart, well-made, and put you into a certain setting, they tend to get high ratings.

Yet, at the end of the day, I’ll be happy and a bit smarter watching a silly parody movie, while if I watch a drama, I might be a bit upset and with a poor movie.

IMDb’s ratings are not everything.

Correctly evaluating your chances

Don Sniegowski - What risk? Our proven system will lead you to a land of milk and honey essentially risk free

“A ship is safe in harbor, but that’s not what ships are for.” ― John A. Shedd

Let’s say you want to ride a motorcycle.

You evaluate the chances of an accident; then you take some lessons, you take your driver’s license, you buy a bike, and you drive carefully.

Yes, accidents of motorcyclists are happening with a higher percentage. But if you take all the precautions, you can stay confident.

You have polyps (definition: Polyps are tissue growths that most often look like small, flat bumps or tiny mushroom-like stalks. Most polyps are small and less than half an inch wide.). You decide to have surgery.

Yes, some complications can appear, but if you are well-informed prior to the procedure, you can be confident.

In a lot of situations, you need to take a leap of faith. You don’t know exactly where you’ll land, but if you don’t take any chances at all, most likely, you’re making a worse decision than when taking some calculated risks.
