The Difference Between Happy & Unhappy People
In life there exists two kinds of people: the happy and the unhappy. We come across each type of person everyday. There are the miserable people, who are always complaining about anything and everything, while on the other side we have the optimistic people who always look at the glass as half full and are constantly seeking more out of life. A sense of purpose is what drives happy people and intimidates unhappy people. Let’s take a look at some of the key differences between happy and unhappy people. Unhappy People Waiting For Something To Make Them Happy Unhappy people sit back and wait, expecting opportunities to present themselves. Envy The Success of Others Instead of focusing on the fortunes they personally possess, these unhappy people concern themselves with the material possessions and successes of others. Insecure A lack of confidence is ever present in the minds of unhappy people. Isolated Negative Thinkers Negativity and complaints plague the minds of unhappy people. Happy People
Why Being In Your 20s Is Awesome
I know I talk crap on being a twentysomething but I’m only half-kidding. In actuality, there’s no age I’d rather be. (Besides maybe seven years old because they don’t do anything besides eat ice cream and poop themselves. That sounds like an ideal life to be completely honest.) Being in your twenties is all about discovering which things hurt you and what makes you feel good. This is what your twenties are for — to feel and see as much as you can, to take advantage of not being tied down to anything and anyone and to go balls to the wall with everything that you do. It’s important to talk about why your twenties are great because it seems like we spend so much of our time wanting to be somewhere else other than where we are. We’re not stuck.
5 Ways Entrepreneurs Make the Most of Their Days
Mastering productivity is a challenge even for the best of us. After all, there are only so many hours in the day and exercising, responding to emails, getting work done and catching up on sleep don't seem to fit so nicely within that time frame. Yet, excuses aside, making the most of any given 24 hours is not only doable, but those who manage to do so consistently often become the most successful of the bunch. Consistent productivity, though, takes drive, grit, determination and a lot of focus. These days, when looking for expertise in time management, it is founders and entrepreneurs who are getting a crash course in the skill. 1. Founders face a lot of pull and tug for different ideas, projects and new initiatives, but not everything can be tackled head on, especially in one given day. "Try to 'touch it once,' said Chase Jarvis, cofounder of creativeLIVE, the world’s largest live video education company. Setting a goal of 'inbox zero' is the wrong goal to set as a CEO 2. 3. 4. 5.
Ten tips to make your vray renders faster
Global switches Geometry * When working with 3rd party CAD data, specifically Autodesk Inventor 3d files imported into Autodesk 3ds Max, leaving displacement ticked increases render times considerably. I assume this is to do with how it reads the mesh data. Indirect illumination (GI) Irradiance map * This GI method is resolution dependant, so adjust the min/max rate to suit your output resolution. * If you have multiple camera views for the same scene, save out an incremental irradiance map. Light cache * Tick use light cache for glossy rays, this can reduce rendering times by quite a lot if you have heavy glossy reflections in your scene. Option A If you have the latest version of Vray (which is 2.0), there is an added feature called retrace threshold which improves the precision of the global illumination and helps eliminate light leaks when use light cache for when glossy rays is on.

Op-Ed Contributor - Many Faiths, One Truth
Though intolerance may be as old as religion itself, we still see vigorous signs of its virulence. In Europe, there are intense debates about newcomers wearing veils or wanting to erect minarets and episodes of violence against Muslim immigrants. Radical atheists issue blanket condemnations of those who hold to religious beliefs. In the Middle East, the flames of war are fanned by hatred of those who adhere to a different faith. Such tensions are likely to increase as the world becomes more interconnected and cultures, peoples and religions become ever more entwined. Granted, every religion has a sense of exclusivity as part of its core identity. An early eye-opener for me was my meeting with the Trappist monk Thomas Merton in India shortly before his untimely death in 1968. A main point in my discussion with Merton was how central compassion was to the message of both Christianity and Buddhism. Take Judaism, for instance. Let me tell you about the Islam I know.
How to Nail a Group Presentation
Most people suck at presenting to big groups. It’s a shame because the ability to nail these presentations at key conferences can be once-in-a-lifetime opportunities to influence journalists, business partners, potential employees, customers and VCs. So I thought I’d write a piece on how not to suck when you give a presentation. 1. People are sitting in their chairs for too long – most of them squirming. Project your voice. If this isn’t naturally you then you need to learn it. Monotony. 2. Be human. I always tell people that if you’re not creative in how you tell stories the simplest way to do so is by telling “a day in the life” of your potential user. NEVER lead with features. 3. If you’re not naturally talented at good, logical structures you may consider purchasing The Pyramid Principle by Barbara Minto. 3. how many people will be in the audience? You are there to speak to the audience so make sure you know what they care about and how to entertain them. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 1o.
