We’ve all grown up believing in certain facts that over the years have become common knowledge — veggies are best eaten fresh, bread with the slightest hint of brown is packed with nutrients and that nails and hair continue to grow well after we’re dead. But how true are these facts?

1. Alcohol warms you up

Drinking alcohol may make your skin feel warm, but this apparent heat is deceptive. Alcohol actually lowers your body temperature by dilating blood vessels and making the veins pump warm blood closer to the skin. But this process causes the body to lose its core heat. Therefore, sipping a brandy may make you feel warm immediately, but it won’t last long!

2. Cover head, stay warm

Parents usually fuss over their children going out in the cold without a hat on, believing that most of the body heat is lost through the head. But scientists consider this a myth. A 2008 British Medical Journal report states that a person loses only 7 to 10 percent of body heat through the head. In fact, our body loses a disproportionate amount of heat through any part that is exposed, including hands and toes.

3. We use only 10 percent of our brain

On those days when you can't recall a name or phone number, it's tempting to wish for more brain power. Only we're using all that we have, just not all at once, says Dr. Marie Pasinski, staff neurologist at Massachusetts General Hospital, faculty member at Harvard Medical School and author of “Beautiful Brain, Beautiful You” (Hyperion, 2010). "Think of your brain as a computer with special programs and software to allow it to perform an amazing array of tasks," says Pasinski. At any given time, not every single application is in use. When we are focused on a specific task, the parts of the brain needed for that task become more active.

4. Mount Everest is the tallest mountain

When measured from the base to summit (and not from the sea level to summit), Mauna Kea (33,500 feet or 10,210 meters in height) located in Hawaii is the tallest mountain in the world. Most of it is submerged under water.

5. If you swallow your gum, it'll take 7 years to digest

Swallowing your chewing gum on that amusement park ride last summer does not subject you to a gummy digestive tract for seven years, says Dr. Richard Desi, a gastroenterologist with the Institute for Digestive Health and Liver Disease at Mercy Hospital in Baltimore, U.S.. "This is certainly a myth. A portion of gum is indigestible, and like any indigestible substance that is consumed, it will simply pass through the gastrointestinal tract and be evacuated." The digestible ingredients in gum do not take any longer than other foods to digest. And the indigestible portion does not "stick" around one's intestines for years, says Desi.

6. Bulls get angry when they see red

This has nothing to do with the color red. Bulls are colorblind and it's the waving movement of the cape that annoys them.

7. Bats are blind

Although bats have tiny eyes and nocturnal hunting habits, they are not blind. “Bigger bats can see three times better than humans," says Rob Mies, executive director of the Michigan-based Organization for Bat Conservation. Paul Faure, of McMaster University’s Bat Lab located in Canada, elaborates further: “All bats can see and all bats are sensitive to changing light levels because this is the main cue that they use to sense when it is (night time) and time to become active.”

8. Don’t wake sleepwalkers

Did you know that up to 40 percent of children sleepwalk at night, but most grow out of it as they age? One piece of advice which many have heard is never to wake a sleepwalker as it might send them into shock upon their sudden awakening. This is simply not true. It’ll only lead to a confused state for the sleepwalker at that moment and perhaps an awkward encounter for you!

9. Dogs sweat by salivating

Most of the sweat glands in dogs are located in the paws or footpads and none on the tongue. Panting and salivating is a way of regulating their body temperature as it causes evaporation from the moist lining of their lungs.

10. Toilet doors/handles are a hotbed for germs

According to a test carried out at the University of Arizona, a toilet door is the least infected surface in the room. Most bacteria need a warm and moist environment to survive and cannot live on hard, dry surfaces for long.

It’s been said even scientists don’t know the beginning and will never know the end of time. Time is one of human inventions so we have to use it to our benefits. Yea you are right… it’s easier said than done, God is the One who can teach us how to number our days (silently prays).
https://livelifeng.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/fact-friday-750x422.jpg
Ok, let’s move on…

Have you ever set a clear goal and excitedly share with your friends but at the end did not happen?

Talking about goals, everyone has something they set to achieve every day or every now and then depending on their area of fulfilment. There are absolutely nothing wrong setting goals; these are the breakdown of to-dos that aim towards achieving your great goal (your dream).

I define a goal as a clear task you set to achieve at a particular time for a particular purpose. One can set goals to achieve a career dream, to get desired weight, be proficient in something, be closer to God or to be a better person.

The basic thing is we set goals to take us from where we are to where we want to be so this is like a thing to boast off especially with the wide drive in this present generation where everyone wants to be the first to invent and create new things.

Shouldn’t you announce your goals, so friends can support you?

Everyone wants to succeed but why do you choose not to talk about your goals?

The above fact (the heading) is actually true that if you talk about your goals or your plans, you might likely not achieve them.

I re-launched my site yesterday to the shock of most of my friends. I still told them I wasn’t sure when I would reopen the site some days before I did. Does it seem like I’m a dishonest person?

Someone explains to me that whenever she says she wants to achieve something, she believes ‘the devil’ will hear her and work against her plan so she keeps it in her mind and just do it at the exact time she planned.

These are definitely the opinions of most people.

“I don’t want to talk about it because the other person might cast a spell on me”

“No, people are wicked, lets me bottle up my goals and plans”

I haven’t seen the devil yet, but I think our ego is must times the devil here. Even a research found that those who kept their intentions private were more likely to achieve them than those who made them public.

This is the reason,

Once you’ve told people of your intentions, it gives you a “premature sense of completeness.”

You feel like an achiever already. As you talk about it, the image is formed in your brain and your brain tags it as, been done. The author identified it this way; “Since both actions and talk create symbols in your brain, talking satisfies the brain enough that it neglects the pursuit of further symbols.”

You can talk about it without feeling this way depending on who you are telling. I make sure I’m very certain that someone will be of help to achieving my set goal before I spill it out. I just want to work it within me and my God and the result should announce itself.

Also, one feels less burdened and free because no one knows what one is about to do and there is no unnecessary torture just because everyone already knows. This gives you a greater chance to analyse the goal again, redefine it or even cancel it if the need be.

Do you support or oppose? Let’s hear you out

TRWConsult:
Webster’s Unabridged Dictionary gives the same definition for both fictional and fictitious:

“Fiction,” of course, is anything untrue, whether it’s a lie or a novel. Webster’s gives six definitions for fiction, among them:

1 : the act of creating something imaginary : a fabrication of the mind
2 a : an intentional fabrication : a convenient assumption that overlooks known facts in order to achieve an immediate goal b : an unfounded, invented, or deceitful statement
3 a : fictitious literature (as novels, tales, romances) b : a work of fiction; especially : NOVEL

Making a distinction between fictional and fictitious, however, is both useful and customary.

Fictional tends to be used in talking about fiction in the sense of creative writing:

Alice in Wonderland is a fictional character created by the mathematician Charles Dodgson.

Fictitious tends to carry a negative connotation and is used to denote fiction associated with dishonesty:

The man used a fictitious resumé to obtain the job.

We praise Ken Follett for writing a fictional account of the building of a cathedral, but we condemn a journalist who incorporates fictitious elements in a news story.
