R3ciprocity.com - Prof David Maslach: Innovation; Research Life; Striving Towards Happiness

I talk openly about my life as a researcher, particularly one that is very open online. One of the things that I learn, is just how many people are actually feeling bad about themselves in the research game. remind you, feeling bad about yourself is an endemic to research life. Rather than think about all of my limitations and what I actually don’t have, I have chosen to think about all the positi...

stop thinking about how you can get to greater efficiencies, and really drastically improving your life. What you can do instead is focus on just doing a little better every day at little aspects of your life. There’s no need to drastically change who you are. You’re good enough.

I talk about the problems that we face ecological impact. We have a rather large impact on the environment, and as we become more wealthier we’re going to have an increasingly large impact. We have to think about how to solve this problem, that fits the way that we actually operate as human beings. Solving these problems is particularly challenging, given the constraints that we have in the macro...

if you frame everything in your life as obtaining the least possible good that you can get, you will completely change how you view the world. Imagine that you were living in a tent eating rice and beans, and everybody else around you has died, you will quickly realize that everything that you have is nothing but pure joy. You don’t have to keep up with what everybody else has, and you don’t need...

It’s important to have boundaries in your life. One of the challenges with doing research is that there’s few boundaries between your life and work. You quickly realize that we need to create boundaries so that you can live a healthy life. Remember to set boundaries in where and when you work, and who you work with, and what you work on.

I talk about making decisions about investments when the stock market is doing poorly. There’s no right answers, and know that whatever you choose is the best thing that you could possibly do for you at the moment.

you need to remember that you’re not alone, and most of the thoughts and feelings that you’re going through is completely normal. Many people experience the same thoughts and emotions that you are feeling. Part of the reason why we have these thoughts and feelings are structural, in the sense that it is because of how society is set up then encourages a large number of people to feel in the way th...

You’re being measured or proper because you were thinking about other people’s reactions to who you really are, and how they will judge you. Remember that any negative reactions is on them. How they deal with their self has a little to do with you. Be more of who you are, and less of who they are.

don’t ever think that your life is gonna be a linear process. It’s not going to be a step-by-step process. Your life is going to be utter chaos, and you bob and weave to get to where you want to go to.

Just keep going, and keep taking Luke steps forward. It’s going to feel like nothings happening in in the day today, but what matters is what happens over the years.

Doing anything that’s major in your life takes a lot of work and most people are not gonna believe in you. Screw that just keep working at it and do your thing focus on the good things that you’re actually building and continue to do that for a long time.

I really changed and how I view the world. Partly this is due to like circumstance, and partly this is due to becoming a parent. I think the key to remember is that it’s not about competition and getting ahead, but it’s about unconditional love where you just love on the person that you want to encourage. The key is that people will choose to succeed if they’re given the support and encouragement...

just keep going, and remember whatever everything that you’re working on just takes a lot of determination. Everything ever existed with Trenta. Don’t forget that first read it that cool thing that you’re thinking of, whatever it is, who is discouraged and healthy feelings that you’re feeling. Just remember that if you really want to do it you can just requires unbelievable amount of work. Don’t d...

Remember to focus on helping yourself out the people that are closest to you first. Nobody else is going to be there for you, so you have to be independent and strong. Much of doing well is making sure that you are taking care of yourself and managing your emotions.

try to look for people that are gonna be on your team and cut out the people that are not that are pulling you down the quicker that you do this the better often experience that you’re gonna have the more that you are going to enjoy your life.

I talk about how it’s not the technology that actually matters when you create something new. Rather it is the audience and how you actually solve the problems with the audience. Remember that it is all about people and not the artifacts of white people actually do.

I talk about how college and University is valuable for some people. The problem is is you have to determine whether it’s actually valuable for you. You also have to figure out how you’re going to leverage the opportunities that you get from going to college and university. Remember, a good education means that you are going to work really hard.

I discuss what depreciating in appreciating acids are, and think about how most people think about appreciating depreciating assets. It’s important to remember that things either go up in value or go down in value over time and if you are aware of the fact that things go up in value and down in value, you’ll likely make far different decisions in your life.

I talk about the balancing of your portfolio of happiness, and maximizing short run, medium and long run benefits.

The most important thing that I have learned to quit negative rumination is to keep as busy as possible. Having as many possible things going at once keeps you from feeling overly negative and keeps you overwhelmingly positive.

i’m honest that I think a lot of motivational contents is hokey, but if it hits the right person at the right time it can make a big difference in their life. I will continue to put out this inspirational, motivational, and educational content as long as I possibly can just to actually resonate with the one person that needs it.

Remember you can either play up the magnitude, or quality, or you can focus on frequency. If you’re trying to have an impact it’s both of those that actually matter. Consistency will almost always outperform magnitude over the long run.

The natural state most is chaotic and messy. Don’t expect anything to go in a straight path, and come easy at the beginning. All of what we actually do it’s a growth process, or we have to learn the steps as we go. Few things come easy, and most of the things that we do are not inherited. They require a lot of trial and error, and social interaction. As a consequence, you have to remember that wil...

Remember that there are limits to what you can possibly do. However, you have to reflect on where you are right now and focus on building on what you already have. Fixating on somebody or some thing that has a lot more than you and as I had a different position than you doesn’t solve your problem. You need to work on where you are.

Think it’s important to remember that to get your point across you have to focus on making your writing more dense. The goal is to be a straightforward as possible. Saying the same thing and fewer morons is almost always better.
