American psychologist Thomas Landauer was the first to formulate a scientific argument about the amount of information that can memorize the average person. "Whichever technique it is used, the answer was roughly the same: one Gigabyte. He did not claim that this answer is absolutely accurate. But even if he was wrong tenfold, even if people are able to retain ten times more or less than the gigabytes of information, the volume is still insignificant. This is only a small part of what we are able to maintain a modern laptop. People - not repositories of knowledge.

For many years psychologists assumed that identity (from the age of about thirty years) already from the concrete cast. Talked about the so-called great five - five stable personality traits: openness to experience, conscientiousness, agreeableness, endurance, and neuroticism (emotional lability). Today, however, proved that the nature of each of us can change throughout life. We did not notice this, because every day live in their own "skin", and changes can be extremely small.

We have created a world that they cannot understand. Here, intuition is no longer a reliable compass. World, full of difficulties, unstable. We are trying to navigate it with the help of the brain, which was generated for other tasks - for a task of the stone age. The evolution was not possible to adapt our brains to a spike in the civilizational development. While the outside world for the last ten thousand years has radically changed, our "software" and "hard disk", have remained the same as in the days when frolicking around the mammoths.

Money, power, popularity - things over which your control is very limited. Their loss will plunge you into unhappiness if you focus on them.

In General, domestic success is more stable than external.

Allow me to give you a completely different definition of success, it exists already at least two thousand years. According to this definition, success depends not on how society is distributed in prestige, and not from the vulgar rank. True success is internal success. Voila!

Material success - it is the case 100 percent. We do not like to explain by mere chance. Nevertheless it is so. Your set of genes, postcode of the city or locality where you were born, your intelligence, your willpower - all of it, in fact, is not your personal merit
