The Attitude Of A Person Towards Servers Reflects Who They Are

“The Waiter Rule” refers to a theory that our true personality can be gleaned by the way we treat service staff, such as waiter and waitress.

Don’t be surprised that some interviewers even ask the receptionist about their opinions towards the candidates! The comments from the receptionist might be one of the indicators to determine whether they are a team player. Those who treat servers poorly reflect that they have judging personality as they see people as inferior based on their job role.

Five Positive Things = One Negative Thing

Admit it, we always remember that we accidentally split our coffee during the meeting than the compliments we received after a presentation. This is because our brain prefers to remember bad news more than good news, this is also known as “negativity bias”.

It will take five positive things to outbalance the one negative thing that keeps bothering us. Therefore, let us try not to fall into this loop of negativity and turn this around!

Food Taste Better When Someone Else Makes It

Have you ever wonder why the smoothies you bought from the cafe taste better than the one you make by yourselves even though they have the same ingredients?

Some people might have experienced that after they cooked a meal or baked the bread, they would have lost the appetite to eat it. This is probably because they have been with the food for a while that the excitement, the adrenaline rush and the anticipation for the food has begun to fade while they are still preparing for the food. Hence we have a legitimate reason to ask people to cook for us because it is more delicious!

We Can Control Our Dreams

Strange, but yes it's possible. A lucid dream is a situation whereby we are aware that we are dreaming of our dream. Therefore, we will have the power to control our dream characters, the environment as well as the storyline!

The ability to manipulate our dreams is a skill that can be learned. A lucid dream is a fascinating experience, kind of like an immersive experience of virtual reality. It might help in giving you a solution to your current problem or helping you to overcome your phobia- since you are the director of your dream.
