Superstitions around the world
Superstitions are beliefs not based on reason that certain events or behaviors will bring good or bad luck. Common superstitions include black cats crossing one's path being a sign of bad luck originating from beliefs about witches, Friday the 13th being an unlucky day due to various speculative origins, and chewing gum at night in Turkey being thought to mean chewing dead flesh. Other superstitions involve tea leaves at the bottom of a cup indicating romance and spilling drinks meaning either good or bad luck depending on the circumstances. Breaking a mirror is widely thought to portend seven years of bad luck possibly stemming from beliefs that mirrors capture part of one's soul.

Superstitions
Superstitions are irrational beliefs, especially regarding the unknown. The document lists several common superstitions such as breaking a mirror bringing 7 years of bad luck, walking under a ladder being unlucky, and keeping your fingers crossed for good luck. On St. Valentine's Day, seeing certain birds is believed to predict a girl's future husband - a dove means a man with a golden heart, a sparrow a poor but happy husband, and an owl that she will never marry. The color someone is married in is also thought to influence their future - white is a good choice but black, red or pink could lead to misfortune.
Black magic presentation
Magic can involve manipulating the environment through illusion or invoking supernatural powers. Black magic specifically refers to evil spell magic. While some see magic as a psychic tool or means of connecting with the divine, many religions condemn black magic. In Pakistan, black magic is widely believed in and practiced, often due to illiteracy and superstition. People engage in black magic out of jealousy, revenge, or greed. It can have serious negative effects but Islam teaches that Muhammad had no knowledge of the unseen and that believing fortune tellers disbelieves what was revealed to him.

The Origins of Some Popular Superstitions
This document provides information about four common superstitions: crossing fingers, opening an umbrella indoors, knocking on wood, and carrying a rabbit's foot.

Opening an umbrella indoors was thought to anger the sun god and bring bad luck. Knocking on wood pays tribute to tree spirits for protection. Carrying a rabbit's foot dates back to beliefs that rabbits symbolized fertility and abundance.
Ghosts
Ghosts are believed to be the remnants of human beings without physical bodies, found in places of strong emotions or death like battlefields, hospitals, cemeteries, and funeral homes. Ghosts can attach themselves to vegetation, humans, or objects they were attached to in life. They gain power from human emotions, especially fear. Protecting oneself from ghosts involves remaining unemotional, speaking to the ghost out loud, using blessed salt or prayer. Some believe scattering items like rice or salt on the floor at night will distract ghosts from haunting by making them count the items. Devices like EMF meters are used to detect electromagnetic fields that may be caused by ghost sightings. Several specific locations in Mumbai are believed to be haunted.

“Breaking a Mirror Brings Seven Years Bad luck”.
The superstition regarding breaking mirrors goes back to ancient Rome.The Romans were the first to create glass mirrors.They believed the mirror had the power to confiscate a part of the user’s soul.If a person’s reflected image became distorted in any way this could mean a corruption in his or her soul.
"The true reason that breaking a mirror was 7 years bad luck is because when mirrors were first made they were so expensive that if you broke on you would serve 7 years as an indentured servant to the owner of the mirror because not too many people could afford to buy another one to replace it."
Black CATS Crossing your path
As one version of the belief goes, if a black cat crosses your path, bad luck will befall you.
In ancient Egypt, the Goddess Bast was a black, female cat. Christians, wanting to rid society of all traces of other religions, convinced the ignorant that black cats were demons in disguise and should thus be destroyed. In the process, they also destroyed the kindly women who cared for the cats, believing them to be witches.
Being demons, a black cat crossing your path would create a barrier of evil, cutting you off from God and blocking the entrance to heaven.

Superstitious beliefs arise from fear, ignorance, and a desire for control. Some superstitions originated from practical concerns in ancient times, but now lack scientific basis. Common superstitions include avoiding cutting nails at night due to lack of light in the past, associating black cats with witches, and believing an itchy palm means money is coming. Psychologists say superstitions form from a need to explain random events and operant conditioning. Religions discourage superstitions as they are not based on moral teachings and can promote "shirk" or denying God. The presentation provides examples of superstitions and advises gaining knowledge and positive beliefs to overcome superstitious thinking.
Superstitions
The document discusses superstitions and their origins. It provides definitions of superstition and notes that superstitions often arise from a desire for control or to explain unlikely events. Some common superstitions are discussed such as breaking mirrors bringing bad luck and black cats being ominous. The document contrasts superstitions with religion and notes that while superstitions diminish with rationality, religion can survive modernization. In the end, it concludes that superstitions stem from our attitudes and environment and our need to feel in control.
Superstition
Superstitions are irrational beliefs arising from fear that lead people to engage in certain rituals and ceremonies according to urban legends to avoid bad luck. They originate from beliefs formed in childhood and represent mankind's fears. Common good luck superstitions include horseshoes, four leaf clovers, while black cats, dogs howling at night, and crows are seen as signs of bad luck. Superstitions can impact perceptions of success or failure by associating ideas with the supernatural. To overcome superstitions, one should adopt a more optimistic and rational approach by being scientific rather than superstitious.
Leadership Scarcity 1
The document discusses the challenges and gifts of leadership in times of scarcity using the example of a prisoner of war camp during WWII. It summarizes that the camp leader allocated food resources fairly by giving each prisoner, including Americans, an equal share and sending extra to another camp. Leading with integrity and building trust are important in scarcity by meeting expectations honestly and with love. Creativity, celebration of small victories, balance, and persistence are also discussed.
Davenport, Iowa - August 2018
This document contains the notes from a presentation given by Brian Housand on curiosity, creativity, critical thinking and problem solving. Some of the key points include:
- Curiosity is the root of creativity and helps lead people down new paths. IQ is related to curiosity and effort.
- Thinking like a child by maintaining a sense of wonder can help solve problems.
- Creating experiences through storytelling can heighten anticipation, stimulate interest and deepen understanding.
- Developing critical thinking skills involves questioning information sources, considering biases and supporting evidence.
- Approaching problems from defining the problem to generating and evaluating solutions helps move from stuck to solutions.
umerfarooqdogar
Umer Farooq Dogar holds a B.S. in botany from the University of Gujrat. The document defines superstitions as beliefs resulting from ignorance, fear of the unknown, or trust in magic. It provides examples of common superstitions such as Friday the 13th being unlucky, finding a horseshoe bringing good luck, and saying "God bless you" when someone sneezes. While some superstitions may seem irrational, they often originated from early attempts to explain natural phenomena. The document concludes that most superstitions are now unnecessary due to advances in education and science.
Superstition in india 54
1. Hindus believe that cutting nails and hair on Saturdays brings bad luck because Saturday is ruled by the planet Saturn, which brings misfortune.
2. There is a superstition that if a black cat crosses your path, your tasks for the day will get delayed or postponed.

Alice in Wonderland - Young Women in the Working World
The document is a transcript of a talk given by Habiba Balogun to schoolgirls on preparing for the working world. She discusses her own journey from schoolgirl to director of several organizations. Balogun uses the analogy of Alice in Wonderland to describe the unfamiliar nature of the working world and how, like Alice, young women will have to learn the "rules." She highlights challenges such as the triple burden of domestic responsibilities, earning money, and caring for family that women face. Balogun provides advice such as setting goals, learning decision making techniques, focusing on one's strengths, and gaining knowledge to navigate career choices and challenges in the workplace.
Alice in wonderland -Young Women in the Working World
A guide to successfully navigating the modern workplace for young women. Making the right choices. Goal setting. Decision-making tools. Invisible Rules. Women in the workplace statistics. Sexism and Sexual Harassment. Self-mastery.
How to get anything you want
1) The document discusses how to achieve anything you want in life by focusing on your unique talents and abilities rather than limitations. It provides examples of people like John Goddard and Jim Newman who achieved ambitious goals and overcame challenges through dedication and an optimistic mindset.
2) Success comes from having the right attitude - winners focus on goals and solutions while losers make excuses. Achievers measure their progress against goals, not others, and maintain a can-do spirit despite difficulties. With determination and by paying the price through hard work, dreams can become reality.
3) Ultimately, you are in charge of your own life and destiny. Past circumstances no longer determine your future if you choose to respond proactively
Creativity
Creativity is a complex topic involving both art and science. The document discusses theories of creativity, including that creative people may have lower levels of latent inhibition allowing more unfiltered ideas to enter conscious thought. While this can stimulate novel ideas, it can also lead to issues like overwhelm or mental illnesses. The document argues that creativity manifests in many ways and most creatives are just normal people, debunking common myths about what makes someone creative or how they should act.

Why Psychological Safety Matters for Software Teams - ACE 2024 - Ben Linders.pdf
Psychological safety in teams is important; team members must feel safe and able to communicate and collaborate effectively to deliver value. It’s also necessary to build long-lasting teams since things will happen and relationships will be strained.
But, how safe is a team? How can we determine if there are any factors that make the team unsafe or have an impact on the team’s culture?
In this mini-workshop, we’ll play games for psychological safety and team culture utilizing a deck of coaching cards, The Psychological Safety Cards. We will learn how to use gamification to gain a better understanding of what’s going on in teams. Individuals share what they have learned from working in teams, what has impacted the team’s safety and culture, and what has led to positive change.
Different game formats will be played in groups in parallel. Examples are an ice-breaker to get people talking about psychological safety, a constellation where people take positions about aspects of psychological safety in their team or organization, and collaborative card games where people work together to create an environment that fosters psychological safety.
Suzanne Lagerweij - Influence Without Power - Why Empathy is Your Best Friend...
This is a workshop about communication and collaboration. We will experience how we can analyze the reasons for resistance to change (exercise 1) and practice how to improve our conversation style and be more in control and effective in the way we communicate (exercise 2).
This session will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
Abstract:
Let’s talk about powerful conversations! We all know how to lead a constructive conversation, right? Then why is it so difficult to have those conversations with people at work, especially those in powerful positions that show resistance to change?
Learning to control and direct conversations takes understanding and practice.
We can combine our innate empathy with our analytical skills to gain a deeper understanding of complex situations at work. Join this session to learn how to prepare for difficult conversations and how to improve our agile conversations in order to be more influential without power. We will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
In the session you will experience how preparing and reflecting on your conversation can help you be more influential at work. You will learn how to communicate more effectively with the people needed to achieve positive change. You will leave with a self-revised version of a difficult conversation and a practical model to use when you get back to work.
Come learn more on how to become a real influencer!

Carrer goals.pptx and their importance in real life
Career goals serve as a roadmap for individuals, guiding them toward achieving long-term professional aspirations and personal fulfillment. Establishing clear career goals enables professionals to focus their efforts on developing specific skills, gaining relevant experience, and making strategic decisions that align with their desired career trajectory. By setting both short-term and long-term objectives, individuals can systematically track their progress, make necessary adjustments, and stay motivated. Short-term goals often include acquiring new qualifications, mastering particular competencies, or securing a specific role, while long-term goals might encompass reaching executive positions, becoming industry experts, or launching entrepreneurial ventures.
Moreover, having well-defined career goals fosters a sense of purpose and direction, enhancing job satisfaction and overall productivity. It encourages continuous learning and adaptation, as professionals remain attuned to industry trends and evolving job market demands. Career goals also facilitate better time management and resource allocation, as individuals prioritize tasks and opportunities that advance their professional growth. In addition, articulating career goals can aid in networking and mentorship, as it allows individuals to communicate their aspirations clearly to potential mentors, colleagues, and employers, thereby opening doors to valuable guidance and support. Ultimately, career goals are integral to personal and professional development, driving individuals toward sustained success and fulfillment in their chosen fields.
