  • Applying Scientific Thinking in Daily life

    Applying Scientific Thinking in Daily life

    Why should we apply scientific thinking in everyday lives?

    This blog post explores the benefits of applying scientific thinking in daily life.

    As mentioned by Adam Grant in his book Think Again, scientist is not only a profession it is a way of thinking and rethinking.

    Scientists develop a hypothesis and through refinement driven by rethinking they are able to create pathbreaking inventions.

    In our daily lives if we apply these rethinking principles and break away from stereotypes will make us better prepared for facing changes.

  • Why I Love Motivation, my Name?

    Why I Love Motivation, my Name?

    Bloganuary writing prompt
    Write about your first name: its meaning, significance, etymology, etc.
    View all responses

    My first name as well as my identity starts and ends with motivation. I PileOnMotivation will explain you in this blog why I love my first name, Motivation.

    Motivation is needed to remain Optimistic in life to drive away anxiety and fear from our lives.

    The origin of PileOnMotivation was related to piling on motivating together with preachers and seekers of motivation. This in turn would provide us the faith and optimism to imagine a brighter future for ourselves.

    I love these quotes of Simon Sinek on motivation and hence Optimism.

    “OPTIMISM is NOT the DENIAL of the CURRENT STATE. OPTIMISM is the BELIEF that the FUTURE is BRIGHT.”

    “Optimism is the ability to focus on where we are going, not where we are coming from”.

    “Optimists FOCUS on the PLACE they are GOING. Pessimists FOCUS on the OBSTACLES along with ROUTE. To become an OPTIMIST, simply look AHEAD.”

    And finally let me end with a famous quote of Zig Ziglar.

    To motivation yourself and feel optimistic feel free to read these blogs meant to motivate the unmotivated.
