When I die, will new me come back?
Let's say you did come back and had no memory of this life in your next life. Since you have no memory of this life and this life in no way impact or influences your next life, then there is no connection between the life you are living now and the life you would live in the future. If there is no connection between the current life and the future life, the future life is not a continuation of you, and might as well be someone else. Therefore, you dieing and coming back is identical to you dieing and someone else being born. Because these two things as are the same, it doesn't really matter if you come back or not. You are free to look at it as coming back to life or as not coming back. Either way, all that makes you you will be lost when the current you dies.
How can you help a friend get back on the right track when he constantly makes the wrong choices?
If your friend is constantly making the wrong choices, it's time to ask whether he really wants to get on the right track. You're not going to be able to pull him out of his current habits unless he is fully on board with your goal and is willing to change. Since actions speak louder than words, it sounds like he's just not ready.The real question for you, at that point, is whether you continue to support him (I don't know the situation, so you'll need to consider how destructive his habits are for himself and the people around him), or if you need to create some space between you, at least until he is ready to change for real. If the track he's on is annoying but not a real danger, it's probably a matter of waiting until he is fed up with his life and is ready to get to work. Keep in mind that if his track is harmful to himself and/or others, you might want to consider professional intervention.It all comes down to the severity of the situation, so use your instincts when deciding what to do.
How can I get my life back right on track in my early 30s?
It’s hard to know what you mean by getting your life back on track in your early 30s. But I’ll do my best to show you how.First, consider that your life isn’t “off track” and therefore you don’t need to get your life “back on track”.Some people measure the quality of their lives by how much progress they’ve made. They look at their career, their relationships and themselves and they judge whether they are doing as much as they hoped they’d be by now.The problem with doing this, is that you’re judging and comparing yourself to who you used to be … or who you aspire to be. You’re comparing yourself against your past self and maybe even the future person you want to be. Or worse, your comparing yourself against other peoples success.This is a mistake because, this only makes you feel bad. Because you’ll generally always feel as though you’ve fallen short, you’re off track and you don’t recognise who you are anymore.I’ve felt this way too. A few months ago I was diagnosed with a rare borderline malignant tumour. The tumour and the extensive surgery to remove it along with multiple organs in my body changed my life and me in so many ways. I no longer recognised who I was.I’ve found the best way to heal from the past and move on from your mistakes, is to reconnect with what is most important to you and prioritise that.If you connect with what is important to you and you create personal goals around what you want to achieve in those areas, it’ll motivate you to start making the best decisions for your life, and stop making decisions that limit you or distract you from what you care about.When I did this, it changed my life. It’s hard to explain how in this response, as it’s a story. If you want to read the story, click here. I wrote about how I got through the dark times in my life and turned things around
Will science ever prove the existence of 'God'?
It depends how you define “god” and what proof you require.Some people define “god” as “everything that exists”. The existence of everything that exists is tautological so most scientists would be foolish to deny this god — even atheistic scientists!Some people define “god” as “love”, which might eventually be measured by chemical releases and specific areas of the brain activating.Some people define “god” as “whatever started the universe”, which seems to be a bit more problematic, because it assumes that a) the universe started, and b) God is not of the universe, which presents a more interesting question, “What created God?” The recursion of this line of exploration, and the difficulty of measurement outside of this universe, argues against scientific proof.Other people define “god” as an extra-dimensional non-entity-yet-being with a whole bunch of super-powers. Some of these super-powers contradict one another. Take “prescient” and “omnipotent”. Nothing could have these two powers at the same time for it would lead to a logical fallacy. For example, if I were prescient, I would know what I was going to do in the future. However, that would logically prevent me from being omnipotent, because I could not have the power to change my future action (for if I did, I would not have been prescient.) Such logical inconsistencies make this god logically not provable at all.Finally, there are folks who define “god” as weird things like flying spaghetti monsters[1]. These guys don’t believe their definition themselves, so no scientist would waste their time trying to prove it…… at least not for a millennia or two.See related:How should an atheist respond to a proselytizer at his door?How can Christians reconcile refusing to support government welfare?How can I challenge the existence of their God ?Should abortion be funded by the government?Why are atheists authoritarians?→ Essays on
What’s the best-looking CV you’ve ever seen?
This is the story of my friend Hanna, whom I wrote a book about.One of the best looking resumes I’ve ever seen was actually a “Presume.”It stands for Presentation Resume.Hanna Phan created one. Why? Because she wanted to stand out from the crowd of resumes (which often look really similar).So she created one using the SlideRocket tool and applied to SlideRocket (what better way to show her passion than to use the product of the potential employer!)After a ton of work, she decided to take a leap of faith.She tweeted the Chuck, the CEO of Slide Rocket with her presume link:Here’s the link to the presume:Chuck (the CEO) read the tweet on his iPhone as he was boarding his plane. An hour later, after Chuck literally walked off his plane, he replied.“Oh my gosh, he responded right away!” thought Hanna. She was super excited.Want to know what happened next?Hanna responded, “Thanks, are you still hiring?”“Yes, many positions.”They ended up touching base on the phone and talked for about 15 minutes.He interviewed Hanna briefly and asked, “When can we see you?”“On the next flight down!”He linked Hanna in with Heidi, the Chief Marketing Officer, who interviewed her for about an hour. During the interview Hanna asked her about the structure of the company since she noticed it on the whiteboard. It was the typical org chart drawn out. There were various names and the steering committee and oddly a box with the initials “TBH” in it. Hanna asked her what “TBH” stood for.Hana tried to act calm and confident. She was smiling a mile wide.Hanna was super excited as she interviewed with the rest of the team members and felt like she fit in perfectly.A few days later, as she was relaxing on Labor Day Weekend with her family,Hanna got a call. It was from SlideRocket. She received a verbal offer!Talk about inspiring.If you need help with ideas on how to land your dream job, check out my free book “The Resume is Dead” (#1 Amazon Resumes Bestseller with over 40,000 downloads)
What's the point of living if we all will die?
I've always thought that life was just for "something to do" between birth and death. You can fill it up anyway you want, with lots of challenges, with boring "middle of the road rightness", with discovering the cure for idiocy, with inventing the next bit thing. Or like most people you can do a little of this and a little of that, moving from one thing to another as it suits you. In a purely scientific manner, we are born so we can procreate and further the species. But I think we've done that successfully now and should now focus more on controlling our birthrate so we don't crowd out every other species on this planet (it would be soooo ugly and boring just having people everywhere and nothing else). I think it's time we all started thinking and doing more stuff to make this planet pleasant for future generations. I don't have kids and won't have kids so, technically, I don't care--but I do have nieces and nephews and they are all hoping to have families one day so it'd be nice if my future gene pool still have open wild places (lots of them, and in large amounts) because they do contribute to the quality of (human) life. I don't think there is a reason we were put here. We just were so we have to make the best of it, have fun while we're at it, make as many people (and other living beings) as happy as long as we can. And when it comes time to leave, we don't leave a huge nasty mark behind.
Pleasssse i need help!!!! :( :(?
First of all, whoa.....girl calm down, it's sounds like you were about to explode. Second, you are thinking waaay to much about the whole situation. Since you start at this guy all the time I am guessing he knows you're interested. Did you read what you wrote, nothing is going right from the get-go, it's a sign. And don't think about yourself as not pretty or anything cause that's just starting on the wrong foot, right there. Love yourself first. And if he's being mean to you because everyone else is, he doesn't respect you. The way you are talking doesn't seem it's even healthy the way you are obsessing over him and you don't even know him that well. I say go with the flow if he likes you he'll let you know, don't force it. Until then stop staring at him and continue living like he never existed and he may chase after you.
How can you track Hangouts messages?
Truly intelligent individuals: Although the definition of this type is subjective, here are a few things I have found in those I consider intelligent: Intelligent people tend to be flexible in mindset, without selling out on their deepest convictions.Moreso than being intelligent in logic, these types are also emotionally intelligent, and have come to the realization that the more they come to learn, the more they realize that they know nothing (nothing meaning that the amount of knowledge they have aquired is minute compared to how much they still have yet to learn). Intelligent individuals may or may not know that they are intelligent, but regardless, do not flaunt their gifts in a pompus "know it all" way, but embrace humility at the forefront of thier interactions. Intelligent people may not be intelligent in the traditional sence, but rather could be in the sence that they are deeply charismatic, or tactful in stressful situations. Intelligent individuals may be those who are able to see the beauty in others beyond their imperfections. Interestingly, intelligence may be the way an individual is able to embrace the beauty of originality, where instead of blindly following trends, they modify and invent their own, despite the negativity that person may face for doing so. Paridoxically intelligence may be knowing that though there are people who 'seem' smarter than they, or as 'geniusses' in comparison to themselves, that those people are not to be placed on a pedistal higher than their own intelligence, but rather as a catalyst to explore the deep depths of their own capabilities and potential. Humble people are deeply intelligent, contrary to what some may believe, humility is possibly the highest mark of intelligence in that, the person embracing that way of living understands that there is more they still need to learn, and that even though they have the ability to make others feel 'lesser than they,' they understand that the ego is not something to be fed into but rather something that can serve as the biggest damper to success and well being.
