Scientists now believe that children as young as three display psychopathic traits and children even younger can show a lack of empathy and callousness. Ten percent of children studied showed traits that flagged psychologists.
Does this surprise you?
Will you be watching the new day time crime show called Crime Watch Daily? It’s hosted by Matt Doran and will cover crime stories from a different angle. I personally think it looks fascinating! Check it out and set your DVRs!
I got a haunting call yesterday. A man called, it sounded like from India, and told me that he was calling from Dell about my Dell (Model number mentioned) computer. So I listened more seriously. He said my computer was sending error messages to Dell and we needed to fix it.
Alarm bells immediately went up.
What?
I knew that was nonsense!!
So I said to him, if you are from Dell, email me from your Dell.com email account now.
And he said, “No, no, no!!”
And by the tone of his voice, I was 100% sure it was a scam.
I hung up.
But now I am worried. Did someone at Dell sell customer’s information to scammers? Did Dell have a data breach? How come this stranger in India knew I owned a Dell, knew my model number and how did he get my phone number? I have not put that online anywhere!!
Something stinks here, and I’m not liking it.
I tweeted Dell yesterday, and they told me to report it to the FTC. I did, but I’m still uneasy.
What do you think?
Every now and then in life we connect up with someone who causes us to stop and pause.
They cause us to THINK. Deeply.
When the words first hit you, you sit and ponder. You look around. Things suddenly feel different. You sense this is not the usual conversation.
Perhaps it is that they ponder questions that you too have mulled around, but never shared with another soul. Or they provoke and stir thoughts that you never dared to consider.
And it shakes you.
To the core.
Sometimes these interactions cause a blurred lens to come into focus on something you are passionate about, or something you didn’t see or perhaps forgot about.
And these discoveries ignite you, and renew your passion. They fill your sails.
That’s what recently happened to me.
I reconnected with a friend I made several years ago, and his passion and enthusiasm for life has just breathed excitement back into mine and awoke some of my own feelings within. We share a joy of living and we are both people who are willing to take risks, and walk off the “expected path” of life to live! We share a bond on that.
David decided to question his life and challenge himself to live his most authentic life, and his adventure is just inspiring! And he is writing a blog about his journey.
I couldn’t give any higher recommendation than to say this is a must read for all people.
David is incredibly intelligent, smart, creative and talented, and he is so beautifully articulate, you can’t miss a blog post of his, because he’ll challenge you to think outside of the box.
And we all need this challenge in life–to think beyond what we know and understand, and to question if there more to this life than doing what is given, or expected.
Are you living your life to the fullest?
Check out one of my favorite posts by David here and he will help you answer that question. Then if you enjoy it, read the rest of his blog. It won’t disappoint, I promise you! It’s phenomenal on so many levels.
“Personal intelligence is defined as: “the capacity to reason about personality and to use personality and personal information to enhance one’s thoughts, plans, and life experience.” (Mayer, 2008, p. 209)”
I find this utterly fascinating because I practice this in my life daily! Understanding personalities, through the use of emotions, behavior, demeanor, words spoken, etc., is a key factor in every interaction in my life!
Someone has put words to it!
