The document discusses optimism bias, which is the tendency for people to overestimate the likelihood of positive events and underestimate the likelihood of negative events happening to them personally. Several studies are described that show this bias. For example, newlyweds estimate their chance of divorce as 0% when the actual rate is 40%. Further experiments show that optimism can have benefits like better health, but can also lead to risks if it results in ignoring warning signs. The document concludes that knowledge can help achieve a balance between optimism and realistic risk assessment.

Here are top 6 positive thinking tips that can help you change the way you think about other people and things around. To learn more tips of this type, click the link: http://vkool.com/discover-16-positive-thinking-tips/.
1. Treat Others As You Want To Be Treated
All people wish to be treated with respect. The way that you behave others shows your personality. Therefore, if you want to have good personality, including positive thoughts, you should treat other people the way you want to be treated. If you want to be trusted by friends, learn to trust them first. If you want to be loved by your relatives, learn to love them first. If you want to be welcomed by neighbors, learn to welcome them first.
2. Be Tolerant
In order to build positive thoughts, you should learn to forgive people who make you sad or angry. You even need to learn to forgive the ones who offend you. No matter what they do to you, they are teaching you some good lessons in life.
Moreover, you should be honestly happy when people around you succeed in life or at work. Do not be jealous with them as jealousy is one of the typical causes of negative thinking.
3. Avoid Negative Self-Talk
Among positive thinking tips, avoiding negative self-talk is the most important. What you talk to yourself also will result in the way you behave people around. If your mind is full of negative self-talk, you will not be able to treat others with respect as you may believe that they do not deserve your good behavior. When you are in that situation, try to eliminate your negative talk, and tell yourself that everyone may make mistakes, but everyone has something for you to learn from.
4. Do Meditation Or Yoga
Bath helps clean your body and meditation helps clean and refresh your mind. People who meditate on a regular basis have more positive thoughts than the ones who do not meditate. Meditation will certainly become the future of mankind. If you are a wise person, you should start doing meditation today to enjoy its benefits, to think more positively, and to have a better life.
Yoga helps you stop thinking negatively about others as it is really relaxing when you do it. Doing yoga also helps ease and refresh your mind, building positive thoughts.
5. Help People Around
If you can live for others, your mind will always be clean and relaxed. Helping people around is one of the top positive thinking tips. When you try your best to give others a helping hand, you are building your dignity. What you give others will certainly return to you some ways. If you help others, your mind will be built up with love, respect, and gratitude. As a result, you will be thinking positively.
6. Make Friends With Positive People
When you are with positive people, you can learn from them the way they treat others, and the way they think about life. You will gradually change the way you think as positive as they do.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Logic:
If we don't expect
greatness, well we're not going

And we're pleasantly surprised

But the question is, is it good for us?

Reason 1:
Whatever happens, whether you succeed or you
fail, people with high expectations always feel better.
Because how we feel when we get dumped or win
employee of the month depends on how we interpret
that event.
12. Reason 1: experiment
Studies on high and low expectations.
People with high expectations succeed, they attribute that
success to their own traits.
"I'm a genius, therefore I got an A, therefore I'll get an A again
and again in the future."
When they failed, it’s because the exam just happened to be
unfair. Next time they will do better.
People with low expectations do the opposite.
When they failed it was because they were dumb
When they succeeded it was because the exam just
happened to be really easy. Next time reality would catch up
with them. So they felt worse.
GOOD or BAD

14. Reason 2: experiment
Students were asked to imagine getting a passionate kiss
from a celebrity.
Then asked, "How much are you willing to pay to get a
kiss from a celebrity if the kiss was delivered
immediately, in 3 hours, in 24 hours, in 3 days, in 1 year,
in 10 years?

Ta l i S h a ro t
Reason 2: experiment
Students were asked to imagine getting a passionate kiss
from a celebrity.
3 days seemed to be the optimum amount.
18. Reason 3: experiment
It acts as a self-fulfilling prophecy. Controlled
experiments have shown that optimism is not only
related to success, it leads to success.
Optimism leads to success in academia and sports and
politics.
Most surprising benefit of optimism is health. If we
expect the future to be bright, stress and anxiety are
reduced.
GOOD or BAD
T h e O p t i m i s m b i a s
Ta l i S h a ro t
19. Outcomes
T h e O p t i m i s m b i a s
Ta l i S h a ro t
So optimists are
people who
expect more
kisses in their
future, more
strolls in the
park.
20. Outcomes
T h e O p t i m i s m b i a s
Ta l i S h a ro t
Without the optimism bias, we would all be slightly
depressed.
People with mild
depression actually are more
realistic than healthy
individuals.
Individuals with severe
depression have a pessimistic
bias. So they tend to expect
the future to be worse than it
ends up being.
21. So all in all, optimism has lots of benefits. But how do we
maintain optimism in the face of reality?

22. People were asked to estimate their likelihood of
experiencing different terrible events in their lives.
So, for example, what is your likelihood of suffering from
cancer?
And then they were told the average likelihood of
someone like them to suffer these misfortunes.
So cancer, for example, is about 30 percent.
And then we asked them again, "How likely are you to
suffer from cancer?“
Will people take the information given to them
STUDY
T h e O p t i m i s m b i a s
Ta l i S h a ro t
23. • People do take the information given to them to
change their beliefs but mostly when the information
we gave them was better than what they expected.
• If one said 50%, after getting to know the 30, next
time around he will say 35%. So they learned quickly
and efficiently.
• If one said 1%, even after giving the new information
will still think it's about 11%
STUDY
T h e O p t i m i s m b i a s
Ta l i S h a ro t
24. Everyone is aware that likelihood of cancer is 30% and of
divorce is 40%. But they didn't think that those numbers
were related to them.

What this means is that warning signs
such as these may only have limited
impact.
25. What was going on inside the human brain that
prevented us from taking these warning signs personally.

T h e O p t i m i s m b i a s
Ta l i S h a ro t
But at the same
time, when we hear
that the housing
market is hopeful, we
think, "Oh, my house

double in price.
26. To try and figure that out, participants were asked to lie
in a brain imaging scanner. And using a method called
functional MRI, the regions in the brain that were
responding to positive information were identified

Ta l i S h a ro t
27. if someone said, "My likelihood of suffering from cancer
is 50 percent," and we said, "Hey, good news. Average
likelihood is 30 percent," the left inferior frontal gyrus
would respond fiercely.
On the other side of the brain, the right inferior frontal
gyrus was responding to bad news. And here's the thing:
it wasn't doing a very good job. The more optimistic you
were, the less likely this region was to respond to
unexpected negative information.

A firefighter from California says, "Fatality investigations
for firefighters often include 'We didn't think the fire was
going to do that,' even when all of the available
information was there to make safe decisions."

behavior, to financial collapse, to faulty
planning.
PITFALLS

The British government,

They adjusted the 2012

the same time remain
hopeful, benefiting from the
many fruits of optimism.” -
