“I smile and start to count on my fingers: One, people are good. Two, every conflict can be removed. Three, every situation, no matter how complex it initially looks, is exceedingly simple. Four, every situation can be substantially improved; even the sky is not the limit. Five, every person can reach a full life. Six, there is always a win-win solution. Shall I continue to count?”
― Tel Aviv University Notable Alumni: Eliyahu M. Goldratt (1947 - 2011)

Most of us think that friendship is a two-way street — but that's true only half the time, according to research from Tel Aviv University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Yes, only half of your buddies would consider you their own friend. Now, this may explain a lot, right? Find out why and when this plays an important role: https://www.aftau.org/news-page-psychology--psychiatry…

“Q: Do you think about that all the time: Am I overdoing the self-involvement?
A: Yes!
Q: Why? Where does that come from?
A: Because you are constantly meant to be looking at it the way the viewer will look at it, and also to consider who the viewer is. It might be of interest to your neighbour; you yourself will look at it with a rather jaundiced eye. And let’s admit it: the TV critic who will write about it tomorrow morning is also at the back of my mind.”
