In 2013, Deegan was trying to take control of her life after winning the fight against drinking. She did quit, but she was having difficulty reconnecting with people. Even looking someone in the eyes proved to be difficult. "I was sort of like a shell of a person and just didn't really have many life skills or self-confidence," Deegan said.
However, baking was something that always brought her joy as a child. One day while helping out in the neighborhood, Deegan picked up a handheld mixer and started baking. "My life was just out of control, but baking is such a controlled thing, where if you take the right steps and follow the directions, you'll get a pretty exact result," she said.
Deegan started bringing her homemade baked cookies to people's homes, which helped her reconnect with people. "Feeding people is such a universal love language," she said. However, she was still trying to figure out how to find a career at 27 years old. She had no real work experience and she couldn't put 'quit drinking' on her resume.
Deegan's life shifted in 2015. Encouraged by her friends, she challenged herself to see if she could sell just one pie. She sold dozens! She began baking out of her tiny apartment and eventually launched an official business in 2017. She spent four years developing a pie crust cookie recipe, which has since become the bread and butter of her business. "People have been walking, running and lining up to get cookies, and it's just been so magical seeing that," she said.
When she needs more help, Deegan says she looks for anyone who is just excited to work, even if they don't have any experience. After her own struggle, she realized that the desire to work was better than having a certain skill set. And she became a second-chance employer, hiring women out of prison or the shelter system. "You just have to walk through the door and be ready, willing and able and excited to show up and work and you've got a job," Deegan told the reporter.
Although we all experience failure in our lives, we don't all react to it in the same way. An interesting research has emphasized the notion that there are some people who embrace challenges and disappointments as opportunities to re-focus their thinking. These are people with a growth mindset. Then, there are other people who see failure as a complete failure. They believe that they never had the talent anyway, and they probably never will. These are people with a fixed mindset.
Psychologist Dweck has studied these mindsets and provided evidence that most people intentionally place themselves in one of those two groups. The group to which you assign yourself frequently determines how you react to challenges. If you experience failure and give up, you have conveniently assigned yourself to the fixed group. If you experience failure and regard it as a stepping stone, then you have placed yourself into the growth group.
According to the research, people in the growth group tend to generate more creative ideas than those in the fixed group. To illustrate, consider Thomas Edison. In the 19th century, Edison attempted to improve the light bulb and experimented with numerous materials. Over a thousand trials, he managed to discover an element sustaining light. A reporter once asked him, "It seems as though you've tried many times and continue to fail each time. Why is that?" Edison answered, "I have not failed. I've just found 10, 000 ways that won't work."
In studies of creative people, psychologists discovered that a distinguishing feature separating them from the non-creative is that they make lots of mistakes and continue to work through them. Most people consider success and failure as polar opposites. In reality, they are both parts of the same process.
Research into social robots has shown that machines that are at the cutting edge of interaction can respond to feelings and emotionally care for the weak, the elderly and children.
Robin was designed as a companion robot to provide emotional support for children receiving medical treatment. Robin explains medical procedures to them, plays games and tells stories, and during treatment distracts them to reduce their sense of pain. The robot uses AI to understand other people's feelings, remembering facial expressions and conversations to build dialogue for follow-up sessions. In trials at the Wigmore Medical (UK) Pediatric Clinic in Yerevan, Armenia, the team found that Robin led to a 34% decrease in stress and an increase in happiness of 26% in the 120 children who interacted with him at least once.
Healthcare robots could all benefit from displaying emotional intelligence, both recognizing and responding to human emotions, and to some extent, managing them. The problem with this is the fear that human jobs may be lost as robots become better at handling social situations.
Population trends suggest that the demand for robots to work alongside people in care situations will grow over time. By 2050, the number of people aged 65 and over globally will be 1.6 billion (17%), roughly twice the proportion of what it is today. An extra 3.5 million care workers will be needed and that will include emotionally intelligent robots.
Today's simple systems are being trained to meet that demand. This includes a little wheeled robot that can guess how you are feeling from the way you walk, and the robot from the University of Lincoln in the UK—who helps elderly people to stay physically and mentally active.
The impact of social robots on our lives to date has been tiny. But new models are being introduced that could make the breakthrough. Human emotions are difficult to define, but as trust in robots increases, breaking down the psychological barrier becomes easier to imagine.
Helping a stranger can be easier than advising someone we've known forever. When friends and family ask for advice, it is more complicated. To give better advice, try less fixing and more listening.
You should stay open if you can. Keep your hands free. Keep your face neutral and try to avoid looks of shock or judgment. If you look like you're tense or you're distracted, the person might not open up to you as much as you would want them to.
You can't always give advice right now. Texts and FaceTime might be immediate, but your advice doesn't have to be. You can politely explain to someone that you want to give them your full attention when you're ready.
You don't have to fix the problem. People who ask "What should I do?" often want to process a problem themselves. A friend's priorities might not match your own, but that doesn't mean they're wrong.
Pay attention to patterns. When you've known someone for years, you're a witness to their patterns and repeated mistakes. Instead of saying, "Ugh, you've said this 15, 000 times," you can ask questions. "What do you think that means?" or "" can be a good one when you're trying to get someone to consider their own cycle.
A. Body language matters.
B. Listen to them carefully.
C. What's wrong with you?
D. What has worked for you before?
E. Otherwise, you can do more harm than good.
F. If we don't get it right, we could hurt someone we love.
G. You're giving good advice if you can help them get there on their own.
My brother and I were driving home together and we were deep in conversation. Because of his 1, my brother took a wrong turn, taking us towards a 2 and we had no way to turn back. 3, my brother paid the bridge fee and drove on. He was clearly frustrated by the mistake and the 4 waste of $4.
We eventually reached an exit slipway and, as we took it, my brother 5 a beat-up black car parked by the side of the road. A young guy was standing nearby 6 someone. I was busy trying to figure out which 7 we went next but my brother 8 and asked the guy if he needed any help. And he did. He had a(n) 9 tire and needed a tool to get it off. My brother gave it to him, then proceeded to help him 10 the tire. After we had finished the job he thanked us again and again, pulled out $20 and tried to give it to us. "No," my brother said. "We were never 11 to even get on that bridge. We took a 12 turn. But now we know why we did. It was to help you. Thank you for turning our mistake into a(n) 13 to serve."
What I loved most was watching my brother throughout this 14. He was able to see a chance to help even in an otherwise 15 situation, which can only come from a calm mind and an open heart.
The approaching of a new year is always exciting. The Little New Year, is also called the Minor New Year's Day, usually falls roughly a week before Lunar New Year. In 2023, it will fall on Jan. 14th and 15th. The Chinese Little New Year is not a (fix) festival as it varies with local (custom).

Above all, it suggests a new year with a new image and (express) the good wishes of Chinese people to ring out the Old Year and ring in the New Year.
I had been acting in school for a few years. When I got a rough role in a play, I, only a junior in my high school, was excited that my inspiring drama teacher and director had trusted me with the part.
We had little time to prepare and I would never forget reading the lines for the first time. At first the dialogue was lively, but then it became quite long and boring. To my surprise, my character had one disrespectful line that complained about his bad luck. I had never said something like that on stage before. Uncomfortable as I felt about it, I had never thought of making myself heard to make a change. I was weak, went silent, and accepted the line as it was.
At our first rehearsal (彩排), I whispered, the line and hoped with so many distractions on stage that the director wouldn't notice. Luckily, she didn't. Over three wild weeks of rehearsals, I convinced myself that I could keep faking it. Then, when the curtain finally rose with an audience, maybe I would feel fine about saying the line just once as loudly as I could.
On the night of the open dress rehearsal, I was nervous to see an old couple, the Ehlers, seated in the hall. They were close friends of our family and I had no idea they would be there. When the big moment arrived, with nervousness racing through my body, I went for it. I remember the moment quite clearly. Where I stood. How it sounded. How I felt.
After the show, the Ehlers met me with cheers, a warm hug, and some brief dialogue of their own. While talking with them, I was overwhelmed by mixed feelings of regret and shame.

"Jason, that was quite some language. You surprised us," Mrs. Ehlers looked at me.
