Believe it or not, the size of your plate can affect how much you eat. In one study, scientists found that people who ate from large serving bowls ate 56% (142 calories) more food than people who ate from smaller bowls. In an analysis of 72 studies, scientists found that people consistently ate more food when offered larger portions and plates. The simple illusion of eating from a smaller plate could help you feel satisfied with less food.

Have you ever thought about how much time you likely waste deciding what to wear in the morning? It's probably made you late to school or work more times than you can count. We waste so many precious moments concerning ourselves with frivolous details that we love, sure, but an outfit will not change the world. Most times, it probably won't even change your day. This exact concept may help to explain why some successful people often wear the same thing every day. Have you ever thought about how much time you likely waste deciding what to wear in the morning?

Has Facebook got you fooled? Are you chasing likes for your brand page? Paying for fans? Maybe it’s time to stop. In 2008 I joined Facebook. It was the first social media network I decided to place a stake in as my online social media home. It was fun, frivolous and free. Everyone was discovering the power of multimedia sharing of their life with friends and family. Facebook obsession was apparent and addictive. It was the new digital drug of choice and 6 years later it is the world’s largest social media playground. What made Facebook cool was that you saw “all” your friends updates. It was hard to miss a “what I had for breakfast” share and see the latest drama and joy in a friends life. What you shared appeared.
The word “celebrity” can create instant visions of tabloid magazines and self-indulgent movie stars. In 1961, social theorist Daniel J. Boorstin, in his analysis of the media dominated world "The Image: A Guide to Pseudo-events in America," defined a celebrity as “a person who is known for his well-knownness.” Think about that. It’s a definition that can surely leave an empty pit in your stomach. A little research reveals the difference between the concepts of celebrity and fame. Fame has a totally different definition. People become famous for doing something, not just by being known. Could gaining celebrity status, or fame, at work help you in your career? Consider Chesley Sullenberger, otherwise known as Capt. Sully. He’s the pilot famous for landing a plane in the Hudson River. That’s an admirable act. Yes, he saved lives. Yes, he was a hero. But think about this: Sully became famous because he did his job well. He did exactly what he should have done in a dire situation. With a lot of attention in the business world focused on self-promotion and personal branding, I wonder if the line between celebrity and fame is becoming muddy. How many people — especially with social media — are losing sight of the big picture? Being recognized should be for a reason. It should be for things you do.
