English| Silent Alphabets in English Language| Curio Facts

The English language is famous for having rules that don't make sense, and the rules of spelling and pronunciation are a big reason. Some letters are pronounced, some aren't, and there's no real system for figuring out when to pronounce and when not to. In fact, more than half of the letters in our alphabet ( B, D, E, G, H, K, L, M, N, O, P, R, S, T, W, X, and Z) are silent in some words. And that's a conservative estimate. Silent letters confuse English language learners of all ages, and native speakers can't even explain why they're there. It's time that we get to the bottom of this spelling and pronunciation mystery. The English language has been written down for more than a thousand years, which means it's had plenty of time to borrow and twist around words from other languages. For example, consider Greek words like "psychology" and Japanese words like "tsunami." Because English doesn't have the Greek letter ψ (psi) or the J...

Failure| Failure Could Be The Reason Of Your Success| Curio Facts


Think about the last time when you came up short in something or you lost someone you cared about, no don't tell me how it went wrong and what happened I know it's not your fault. Just realize for a second what amount of pain you felt that moment, what was you thinking when you were about to see your whole world upside down. Realizing that pain is like feeling it again with the same intensity. Right? And yet exposure to those feelings might be the secret staving off the next failure.

Rigged Test:

Everybody knows how it feels when you lose someone or you get failed in life. And nobody wants to return back to that feeling. But according to a new study from Ohio State University, lingering in that state of mind might be the key to avoiding it in the future. They performed an experiment in which candidates were tasked with online shopping of Kitchen blender with specific characteristics. If they could find the blender with every features scientist were asking for, they would win a cash prize. Before they found out half of the candidates were asked to write their feelings about win or loss and the other half were asked to write down their thought about the task. But it was all a set-up. No matter how cheap the subjects' blenders, the scientists always "found" another one costing $3.27 less. Everybody loses! In the final step of the experiment, the subjects were asked to try one more task.

To remind them of the deal-hunting task they had so recently failed, half of the subjects were tasked with finding the best deal on textbooks (as a control, the other half faced the unrelated task of picking out a book for a friend). Apparently, the sting of an emotional memory had an effect. The subjects who focused on their emotions after their previous failure ended up spending 25 percent more time on average looking for low-priced textbooks than those who only reflected on their thoughts.

What does it all show? 

According to researchers it shows its important not only to dwel to that feeling intellectually but also returning back to that feeling emotionally. In other words, all of the participants were given the chance to reflect on their failures, but only those who were forced to really feel their feelings actually demonstrated a renewed commitment to not fail this time.

Dwelling only on their thoughts is more likely to make people rationalize why mistakes weren't their fault, and that probably has something to do with that disparity.

The benefits of failure are well-documented: Many scientific discoveries have been made only because an experiment "failed" and that is considered as failure because it didn't produce the expected results. And as psychology researcher Jon Jachimowicz notes in the Huffington Post, failure is a necessary step on the road to self-improvement and letting a fear of failure stop you will only result in fewer successes.

Most of us who fail in relationship stay scared of getting into a new relationship for the rest of our lives but I think we should step forward and go for the new relationships. This time you won't get failed because you know what went wrong last time, what did you do to screw it up.
