Negativity Bias: the tendency to focus more on bad things than good ones, influenced by its survival benefits. Our language contains about 30% words expressing positive emotions, 50% expressing negative emotions, and the rest neutral. It’s probably normal to say negative things. However, even in this environment, a small number of successful people use “positive language” that they are less likely to speak. Habits are important. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Citizens from countries with different road systems are more likely to encounter traffic accidents at crosswalks when visiting other nations. This occurs because their instinctive caution is directed in the wrong way. The complexities of road traffic direction are surprisingly intricate. Traffic patterns are shaped by a blend of historical factors, governing behaviors, technology, and cultural practices. The safety and intricacy of older roads, once shared by horses, carriages, cars, bicycles, and pedestrians, differ completely from today’s well-defined driveways and sidewalks. Consequently, laws establish the directions for crossing streets. When examining the reasons and history behind any rule, it becomes apparent that achieving these conventions is rarely straightforward. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
