A Proven Way to Get Over Your Ex (This Will Surprise You) #animation #theschooloflife #relationship
The School of LifeSummary
The conversation centers on the complexities of dealing with past relationships and the often misguided desire to reconnect with ex-partners. It suggests that the longing for an ex is less about wanting the person back and more about yearning for the positive memories associated with them, particularly when they were at their best. The discussion emphasizes the importance of confronting the reality of what a reunion would entail, highlighting that the idealized version of an ex may not align with the current reality.
Additionally, the episode touches on the role of infrastructure in innovation, particularly in the context of artificial intelligence in finance. It underscores that while AI has great potential, it requires a robust framework to operate effectively. Plaid is presented as a key player in providing this necessary infrastructure, which has been developed over 13 years to facilitate understanding of financial transactions. The episode also briefly addresses the rising threats of cybercrime in the financial sector and the importance of preparedness for financial advisors facing these challenges.

“There can be few pastimes more compelling than to ruminate on an ex: how extraordinary they were, what beauty they had, what happiness it would bring to have them back. Thoughts of them can intrude on new relationships, they follow us into workplace meetings, they cause us to cry at certain moments in films, they come between us and the beautiful places we have travelled hours to see, they cloud our attention when we are trying to listen to a friend. Vanished lovers are the most insistent of ghosts…”

A new series of films by The School of Life about work around the world - a guide to helping us to think about what makes work purposeful and worthwhile.
Mark Zuckerberg is one of the richest people on the planet - and yet dresses like a very ordinary guy. That's both cheering and subtly deeply wounding to our pride.
We often make some very peculiar and regrettable choices on the basis of a hidden and unmentioned fear: that of being alone. But once we realise that there isn't, in fact, anything to fear about being on our own, we'll be liberated to make some far healthier decisions.Uploaded 01-01-20Enjoying our Youtube videos?

What is far less well understood, and less eloquently or frequently described, is the enormously high price exacted on the other side of the equation. The fear, or more often simply the phobia, of being alone is perhaps responsible for more unhappy relationships, more throttling of psychological development, more claustrophobia and more pent up misery than almost any other: it is – by any reckoning – one of the single greatest contributors to human misery and the driver of some of our weightiest and most unfortunate decisions. If only we were able to get the costs of what is for the most part a simple misapprehension clear in our minds, we might save ourselves a substantial portion of our lives…”MORE SCHOOL OF LIFEWatch more films on SELF in our playlist: http://bit.ly/TSOLselfSOCIAL MEDIAFeel free to follow us at the links below:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theschooloflifelondon/ X: https://twitter.com/TheSchoolOfLife Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theschooloflifelondon/ CREDITSProduced in collaboration with:Natalia Ramos http://www.nataliarama.com/Title animation produced in collaboration withVale Productionshttps://www.valeproductions.co.uk/ Learn more about your ad choices.

Sometimes, in a cosy moment, one lover might ask another: What do you love me for? It's a moment of huge and philosophical importance: what is a good answer to this complicated question? There are a range of things one should never say - and one or two that will stand the best chance of cementing love.Uploaded 29-04-20Enjoying our Youtube videos?

We are asked, with little warning, and in a serious tone: ‘What do you love me for?’ Few moments in a relationship can be as philosophical as this – or as dangerous. A good answer has the power to confirm and enhance the union; a bad one could blow it apart. As we try to make headway, we immediately recognise that we can’t simply say ‘everything’. We’re being asked to make choices – and our love will be deemed sincere to the extent that the choices feel accurate to their recipients…”MORE SCHOOL OF LIFEWatch more films on RELATIONSHIPS in our playlist: http://bit.ly/TSOLrelationshipsSOCIAL MEDIAFeel free to follow us at the links below:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theschooloflifelondon/ X: https://twitter.com/TheSchoolOfLife Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theschooloflifelondon/ CREDITSProduced in collaboration with: Noelle Smith Designhttp://www.noellesmithdesign.com/ Title animation produced in collaboration withVale Productionshttps://www.valeproductions.co.uk/ Learn more about your ad choices.

There's a particular pleasure to be felt in the mighty things of nature: thunderstorms, the stars, vast deserts, oceans, the icecaps. One philosopher who analysed our pleasure was Edmund Burke, who pinned a word to this sensation and theorised about why it was so nice: he gave us the concept of The Sublime.
