Just my thoughts #0816

Writing: Communicate verbally and express thoughts clearly. Among these, writing that records language is undoubtedly the most powerful way to harness the power of words. This is why teaching essay writing in private high schools and universities across the United States, and emphasizing writing throughout the school year, is equally important. Being skilled at writing doesn’t necessarily mean making good money, but if you can craft compelling stories, it can significantly help you become wealthy. Keeping an investment diary with storytelling elements in stock investing allows you to develop your core principles and minimize errors in your decisions. Writing is the most effective tool to enter the world of wealth. In the future, a significant gap is expected to exist between those who train to write and those who don’t. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Just my thoughts #0049

The "normal human body temperature = 37°C" standard was established in 1851 by the German medical doctor "Carl Reinhold August Wunderlich", who took millions of temperature readings from about 25,000 people and reported "36.2°C to 37.5°C". However, surveys in the United States in 1992 and the United Kingdom in 2017 found 36.8°C and 36.6°C, respectively. So in the past people deemed that the discrepancy was due to errors in old measuring equipment or methods. But Julie Parsonnet and her colleagues at Stanford University's School of Infectious Disease Epidemiology found a common thread in the temperature databases: People are cooler now than they were then. It wasn't just a measurement error. They speculated that medical advances had reduced inflammation and lowered the average temperature. We don't question the obvious. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
