How to Be Less Stupid

What to Eat When You're Feeling Blue

Happy Fruit

Oranges and papaya are high in vitamin B6 and folic acid, both of which have been found to be lacking in studies in patients who suffer from depression.

Added perk: Many people swear that these fruits, with their pleasantly tangy scent and cheery orange hues, help wake up the senses.

The Thinking Woman's Pick-Me-Up

Fish oil is famously high in polyunsaturated fatty acids that are essential to brain function and cardiovascular health. While there is an established link between people with depression and low levels of these omega-3 fatty acids, scientists are still trying to definitively prove that the reverse is also true. Some encouraging studies found that omega-3s have boosted the mood-elevating power of prescription antidepressants; in another large study, omega-3 supplements improved the symptoms of those diagnosed with depression but who do not suffer from anxiety (although this research was funded by the makers of the supplements). Try sashimi of wild salmon, mackerel andarctic char, all of which have high levels omega-3s and low levels of mercury.

Added perk: Because sashimi is low in calories and saturated fats, incorporating it into your diet will ensure you're still smiling when you step on the scale.

The Mood Enhancer for Those with a Taste for the Exotic

Saffron, a spice made from the dried stigmas of crocus plants, is popular in Middle Eastern, Spanish and Indian cuisine. It's also been used to treat depression (and right other internal wrongs) in traditional Persian medicine and as a nerve-calming medicinal incense in Tibetan healing practices. There isn't a wealth of research to back up saffron's effect on mood, but a series of smaller experiments from Iran, which produces most of the world's saffron, showed promising results: Capsules of 30 mg of saffron were more effective at lifting depression than a placebo and were also found to be as effective as Prozac. Saffron can be expensive, and it will take about 15 strands (there are only 3 per flower) to make up a 30 mg dose, according to Duke's Handbook of Medicinal Herbs of the Bible. But consider this your excuse to enjoy an extra helping of paella, the Mediterranean fish stew that owes its color and unique flavor to the spice.

Added perk: Paella is usually served family-style, and sharing it with friends can distract you from your problems.

Bliss in a Bar

Most of us discovered the mood-boosting powers of chocolate by age 2. And it's no surprise that we get hooked on it young: Studies have shown that chocolate contains chemical compounds that can have similar effects on the brain as marijuana. Some think chocolate's power comes from serotonin-boosting carbs; others say it has chemicals that boost dopamine; still others say it's the pleasure from satisfying your craving that cheers you up. Regardless of the reason, many people report feeling better after a few squares (of course, they feel worse—or at least guiltier—after eating a lot of squares).

Added perk: The caffeine in the chocolate can also rev up your energy.

A Sure Thing for Carb-aholics

There's a hypothesis that carbs can help your brain produce serotonin, a neurotransmitter that regulates moods, explains Judith J. Wurtman, PhD, the author of The Serotonin Power Diet. In clinical studies Wurtman carried out as a researcher at MIT, when carbohydrate-craving volunteers drank a high-carb beverage, they showed measurable improvements in mood, concentration and energy levels. So if you're having bagel fantasies during what Wurtman calls the "carb craving time," between 3 p.m. and 5 p.m., she suggests trying a sweet and starchy snack of about 120 calories and 25 to 30 grams of carbs (note: this advice is not recommended for diabetics, who have a complicated relationship with carbs). Wurtman says that easily digested simple carbs will boost mood right away, while complex carbs take longer to digest, making them a "time-release" happy pill. Her recommendations combine both types of carbs: a whole-wheat English muffin with jam, oatmeal with raisins or honey on whole-wheat crackers.

Added perk: Carbohydrate-cravers will feel the mood-lifting effects within 20 minutes, says Wurtman.

The 7 Habits of Highly Mediocre People

By James Altucher

"A good heart is better than all the heads in the world." — Robert Bulwer-Lytton

When you fall in love, you feel your heart flutter, beat loudly or leap for joy; when you're rejected, your heart breaks. You are called heartless or cold-hearted when you show no care or love...and big-hearted when you extend your concern to others. You "take things to heart" or "talk heart-to-heart" about deeply personal issues. You love someone "from the bottom of your heart" but are half-hearted about something when you're emotionally uninvolved. You experience your heart as the center of your feelings, as seen on Valentine's Day when love-filled hearts abound. You know this instinctively, as you always physically point to your heart when you say "I" or want to express your deeper feelings.

Yet your heart is so much more than a vessel for romance. It has been described as the king, with the mind as the king's adviser. When faced with a decision, the king may ask his advisers for advice, may even send him out into the world to gather information, but ultimately it is the king that makes the final decision. Even though the advisers do not always agree with the king's decision, the king is invariably right, because the king's view not only sees the bigger picture but is also aware of the needs of others.

In the same way, when faced with a decision or conflict, your mind may come up with numerous, different and quite logical reasons why you should act as it advises, but if you listen to and trust your heart—however illogical or irrational it may seem—it is usually right and you are happier as a result.

There is great brilliance and beauty inherent within the mind, because it is capable of understanding the most intricate scientific and mathematical theories and can make complicated corporate decisions. Yet the same mind can get caught up in trivia and nonsense, becoming upset or even unglued over a seemingly harmless remark. It runs your life, pushing and pulling you in all directions, from attraction to repulsion, creating endless dramas in acting out your insecurities and fears, because it is not in touch with your deeper feelings. Living inside your head all the time is actually not much fun!

While the mind is the content of who you are, your heart is your essence. Your true heart is not subject to chaos or limited by pain, fear and neuroses, but is joyful, creative and loving. Some believe the heart can be too uncertain and even misguided, but that is the head talking! It is actually a source of great richness, and this wealth is one that cannot be squandered or lost. It is the core, the essence of your being, a reservoir of joy, powerful love and infinite compassion that lies within you.

احنا شعب متدين بطبعه ، طيب ادينى امارة على التدين ده !!!!

لما نبقى شعب وصل ان التحرش الجنسى بالسيدات اصبح مهنة – حتى لو كان اللى ورا المتحرشين دول اجهزة امنية – يبقى ازاى شعب متدين ؟

نفسى اعرف ايه اللى بيشعر بيه اى حيوان لما يقول كلمة وسخة لبنت ، ايه يعنى وجه الاستفادة اللى بيستفيدها ، افيدونا ،افادكم الله يا شعب متدين .

ومش بستغرب من المتحرشين على اد مابستغرب من اللى بيدافعوا عنهم والاسباب موجودة ومتفصلة زى قوانين النظام الحاكم عندنا :

1- مرة عشان البنت مش عارفة لبسها عامل ازاى.

2- مرة الشباب معذور عشان مفيش جواز وهرمونات اللى جابوه ناقحة عليه

3- مرة بحجة اللى بيشوفه يا عين امه فى التلفزيون بيهيج اهله

4- مرة عشان الحالة الاقتصادية

5- مرة اصل عشان حالة امه النفسية مش عارفة فيها ايه ولازم نعامله على انه مريض نفسى ونعالجه

6- ومرة اصل التحرش ظاهرة عالمية

يخرب بيوتكم ،انتوا بتتكلموا ازاى ؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟

وهو الدين قالك ، لو فى فلوس صاحبها غافل عنها ، يبقى لك الحق تاخدها ، يا شعب متدين؟

وهو الدين قالك ، لو باب بيت مفتوح واصحابه مش فيه ، تدخل تسرق يا شعب متدين ؟

مش عارفة بتجيبوا منين هذا القدر من البجاحة ،انت البنت تستاهل التحرش بسبب لبسها ، منين المنطق ده يا شعب متدين بطبعه ؟

التحرش بيتم للكل حتى المنقبة اللى مش ظاهر منها حاجة الا عنيها وبستات كبار فى السن ، واللبس مش مبرر ،اشمعنا لما بتسافروا برة ،الواحد بيبقى زى الكلب وميقدرش يفتح بقه نرغم ان اللبس برة مكشوف عن هنا بمراحل. ملهاش مبرر غير انك حيوان ،يخاف وميختشيش

والتحرش بيحصل حتى من ناس كبيرة فى السن ومتجوزة وناس راكبة عربيات فخمة يعنى لا الجواز ولا الحالة الاقتصادية لهم ذنب

المتحرش مش مريض نفسى ، مجرد واحد عارف ان مفيش رادع فبيستحل البنت اللى قصاده على قد مايقدر ، لان المجتمع ابن الوسخة فهمه ان البنت حاجة اقل منه شأنا وانه المفروض يفرض سيطرته الذكورية عليها ، لما يجتمع الحاجتين دول مع بعض ، بيظهر المتحرش ويظهر اللى يدافع عنه.

ولا القهر ولا الظلم ولا الكلام الفاضى اللى بنسمعه ، اذا كان النظام الحاكم بيقهر الرجل ،فهو بيقهر المرأة برضو ، فبلاش تلاكيك لتبرير جريمة انا شايفاها اشنع حتى من جريمة القتل ، ولازم لها قانون رادع يطبق بحزم على الحيوانات الطليقة فى المجتمع اللى خطرها بيتستفحل يوم ورا يوم .

انا حرة فى اى حاجة اعملها طالما لا اتعدى على حرية او حق احد ،وكفاية تعريص ولا احنا شعب معرص بطبعه ؟
