HOW CAN WE MOTIVATE OURSELVES MORE EFFECTIVELY THROUGH REINFORCEMENT?

•We'd all like to be more effective in reaching our goals, and according to behaviorists, the way to improve our effectiveness is by rewarding ourselves for the little steps that take us closer and closer to those desirable outcomes.

•First, find something you really like to do or something you'd like to have that can, realistically, serve as a reward.

•Then, take the goal that you are hoping to achieve that, realistically, you could achieve but just haven't succeeded at yet.

•Next, work backward from that goal to your present state.

•Arrange to give yourself those desired rewards as you inch closer from where you are now to the desired end point.

•As you start to make progress, only give yourself a reward when you've moved forward from where you are now.

•For example, if you'd like to cut back on your television watching and instead read more often, reward yourself by allowing yourself to watch television only when you've read for 20 minutes, then 30, then maybe 2 hours.

By the time you've gotten to the 2-hour mark, who knows, you may enjoy reading so much that you won't even care about watching television anymore.

Why do the Indian telecom operators offer their services with 28 days validity, not 30 days?😡😡

Here telecom operator are very clever, b ecause telecom operators want to earn money of 13 months instead of 12 months. Let do the calculation and find out why telecom operators are offering 28 days validity. Each month they get 2 days more, therefore in a year they get additional 24 days. There are 7 month which has 31 days so they get additional 7 days.Now in case of February ,it has only 28 days not 30. So the total number of days they get are=24+7-2=29 days. So if you recharge 12 times then more 29 days are left in a year.🤔🤔 Means for another 29 days you have to recharge from that telecom operator.😫😫 So you have to recharge 13 times in a year instead of 12 times in a year. So telecom operators provide 28 days validity only. First one telecom operator started and then another telecom operators also understood this concept and they also applied 28 days validity both in data packs and voice packs.😱😱😱

How Electronic ink works?

Used increasingly in digital products, how does this technology work? Electronic ink (or electrophoretic ink) consists of millions of microcapsules. Each one contains positively charged white particles and negatively charged black particles, all suspended within a clear ﬂuid. When these microcapsules are subjected to a positive or negative electric ﬁeld, the corresponding particles rise to the top, becoming visible to the eye and colouring that microcapsule. eBook reader displays coat electronic ink onto a sheet of plastic ﬁlm, which in turn is laminated to a layer of circuitry. This circuitry forms a pattern of pixels that can be controlled by the display’s software driver, allowing images and text to be displayed in the form of a traditional page of physical paper. Electronic ink displays differ from LCDs by utilising ambient light to illuminate pixels, with the rays merely reﬂecting off their surface. This means they have very low power demand, a...
