Going through life can be very challenging at times, when we were young no one told us how hard it will be in the future but here we are. One of the gigantic problems of adult life is having self-doubt, and it is nasty and can kill your confidence levels if not controlled from the get-go. We will all experience some traces of self-doubt, which is natural. It happens to us during normal days or whenever we are going to start a new job, a new task, a new relationship, or anything new in life will make you self-doubt.
There are some people out there that mistake self-doubt for something else. Self-doubt is when you are unsure about one or more aspects of yourself. For example, when starting a new job, you might feel inexperienced or might think that you are not fit enough for the job—this is a prime example of self-doubt.
Self-doubt isn't all that bad. Let us tell you why! Low-level of self-criticism is actually good for you, which motivates you and pushes you to be better in life, to become greater than yesterday. This type of feeling will push you to work harder and faster than before and will also increase your productivity, but it should be a low level of self-criticism, and you don't want to punish yourself over things that are beyond your control.
In plain and simple terms, self-doubt is the inability to have confidence in your own skills and capabilities. It is a venomous mindset that limits you from achieving your true potential, Humility is one of the best traits that you can possess but if it comes at your own expense, then there is no use in having that kind of trait. Anything that proves harmful to your mental or physical health, is something that you shouldn't possess in the first place.
Self-Doubt isn't something that you are born with, which is developed as you pass the different stages of life. There are many ways a person can develop self-doubt. The best approach that we can take is to eliminate any kind of self-doubt we have, but before that can happen, it is necessary that we understand the very cause of self-doubt.
The ocean covers more than 70% of Earth's surface, yet around 80% of the ocean remains unexplored. To put it simply, we know very little about most of the ocean. Seafloor mapping is the first step to uncovering the mysteries of the deep. Sea floor maps increase the scope, efficiency, and pace of deep-sea exploration, keeping scientists and boats from "flying blind."
A vital part of exploring the seafloor is mapping the density of the ocean crust. But probing the ocean's crust requires a significant wave source. The most common method for determining crustal structure is also controversial — firing seismic air guns from ships. While this method is effective, it is potentially harmful to marine life and not easy to use.
The song of the fi n whale is one of the loudest in the animal kingdom, and is detectable over great distances. Their low-frequency calls generate more than 185 decibels(分贝) underwater, on par with a large ship. Part of the energy of this powerful song transmits into the ground as a seismic wave. The wave travels through the oceanic crust where it reflects and refracts off layers in the crustal interface. Ocean-bottom seismometers(地震计) off the coast of Oregon picked up on the seismic waves of these fin whale calls. Researchers Kun a and John Nábelek, from Oregon State University, analyzed six whale songs. Using these signals, the team was able to map the thickness of sediment and rock on the ocean floor.
While fi n whale songs are never going to replace seismic air guns entirely, they do provide a free and natural alternative for scientists looking to explore the ocean floor. In the future, scientists think broader-frequency vocalizations, like those of sperm whales, may produce higher-resolution imaging.
The researchers write, "our study demonstrates that animal vocalizations are useful not only for studying the animals themselves but also for investigating the environment that they inhabit."
You might have seen Family Guy, American Dad on the television many times but have you ever wondered if it gets any crazier than this? These shows come from the brilliant mind of Seth MacFarlane, one of the best American producers and writers of our time.

A Famous Figure in Chinese History
Once upon a time, in a land far away, there was a small village. The village thrived in the heart of a big jungle. Surrounded by the mountain s and in the shade of green trees, the villagers happily lived a life of bliss. All of them were used to their robotic daily tasks and none of them had the imagination or the will to try something new, except for one girl named Hannah. Very few people in the village could read let alone write, and Hannah was one of them.
Hannah was an adventurous spirit with an imagination far beyond her time. She loved to explore and would spend hours in the woods looking for new things. She loved to create stories in her head and used to imagine herself as one of her characters.
One afternoon, when Hannah was on one of her adventurous quests, she came upon an abandoned cottage. The cottage looked very old in its condition. The door was barely hanging and the wood was chipping away. Even though Hannah's mother had strictly warned her not to go wandering in abandoned places, her curiosity got the best of her.
She tip-toed slowly to the door and slowly opened it and she was left stunned. In front of Hannah was a room full of books! Books glistering in the dust, basking in the warm sunlight just waiting to be explored. Hannah's excitement was visible on her face as she jumped up and down with glee!
She dusted the books, the shelves, and what was left of the furniture. Hannah broomed, swept, and dusted all day long until she realized that it was dark and she had to go back to her home. She met her friends on the way home who were curious by what Hannah was carrying. With excitement, Hannah shared everything with her friends. She was thinking that her friends will share her excitement but instead, she heard roars of laughter!

Hannah was confused by this reaction and a little hurt too, but she did not give up on her books.
With the good in heart, she decided to share the tales with the people of her village.
