Main Ideas: - working with a positive mind-set - improving performance - success (Or directional causality between life satisfaction and success) - the happiness advantage - the most misunderstood driver - life satisfaction - our genetics - our environment - being malleable Sample Answer: Although working with a positive mind-set can perceive improving performance as success, the happiness advantage could associate the most misunderstood driver with life satisfaction; moreover, our genetics may derive our environment from being malleable. #SWT #Apeuni_110 ——————— @Iran_pte_house

Research shows that when people work with a positive mind-set, performance on nearly every level – productivity, creativity, engagement - improves. Yet happiness is perhaps the most misunderstood driver of performance. For one, most people believe that success precedes happiness. “Once I get a promotion, I'll be happy,” they think. Or, “Once I hit my sales target, I'll feel great.” But because success is a moving target – as soon as you hit your target, you raise it again, the happiness that results from success is fleeting. In fact, it works the other way around: People who cultivate a positive mind-set perform better in the face of challenge. I call this the "happiness advantage” – every business outcome shows improvement when the brain is positive. I've observed this effect in my role as a researcher and lecturer in 48 countries on the connection between employee happiness and success. And I'm not alone: In a meta-analysis of 225 academic studies, researchers Sonja Lyubomirsky, Laura King, and Ed Diener found strong evidence of directional causality between life satisfaction and successful business outcomes. Another common misconception is that our genetics, our environment, or a combination of the two determines how happy we are. To be sure, both factors have an impact. But one's general sense of well-being is surprisingly malleable. The habits you cultivate, the way you interact with coworkers, how you think about stress – all these can be managed to increase your happiness and your chances of success. #SWT #Apeuni_110 ————————————————————— 🎖Together we persevere, Together we can 🎖 @Iran_pte_house

🔆 Transcript: Because of the economic model, the newspaper industry has been shrinking drastically from the last 50 years of the 20th century in some states of America. Also as the economic model changed, newspapers increased the cash flow. However, there are still some newspaper industries losing money because of a decrease in advertising and buyers. They can't find buyers. Only a few newspapers have positive cash flow. Over 100 newspapers with cash flow in red had no money to publish the newspaper every day. Some of them are published three days per week. Small-sized newspapers only published once a week and had to go online. Some newspapers even disappeared. The staff working in the newspaper industry decreased by 30-60% or more. 🔆 Main Points: ⚜️changing the economic model ⚜️the newspaper industry shrinkage ⚜️increasing the cash flow ⚜️the loss of money ⚜️a decrease in advertising and buyers ⚜️having a positive cash flow ⚜️publishing the newspaper every day ⚜️small-sized newspapers ⚜️going online ⚜️decreasing the staff working in the newspaper industry 🔆 Sample Answer: The essential feature of this topic was to determine the newspaper industry shrinkage. Although changing the economic model can perceive the loss of money as increasing the cash flow, a decrease in advertising and buyers could associate having a positive cash flow with publishing the newspaper every day. Consequently, small-sized newspapers may derive going online from decreasing the staff working in the newspaper industry.
