Today I came across one of interesting video by Cognitive Media about Daniel H. Pink's Drive: The surprising truth about what motivates us.
"Most of us believe that the best way to motivate ourselves and others is with external rewards like money—the carrot-and-stick approach. That’s a mistake, Daniel H. Pink says in, Drive: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us, his provocative and persuasive new book. The secret to high performance and satisfaction—at work, at school, and at home—is the deeply human need to direct our own lives, to learn and create new things, and to do better by ourselves and our world."
Check out the video below and let me know what you think.
You can buy the book from the Amazon & Read it... I know you will enjoy it.

Right Brain Vs. Left Brain - Optical Illusion
I am always fascinated by the way our human brain works. I feel it is so mysterious though there has been so many studies done. One interesting fact is how our Left Brain and Right Brain are so different from each other.
Take a look at the spinning girl below. Do you see it spinning clockwise or counter-clockwise?
Most of us would see the dancer turning anti-clockwise though you can try to focus and change the direction; see if you can do it.
Well this is not my research study but i read it in some news... then did some google to find the details.
The most interesting article about this phenomenon is found in Steven Novella, MD NeurologicaBlog
Also read Bicameral Images reveal our two selves.

Ok, now its freaking me out.. I can control the way it moves clockwise or anti-clockwise.
Look for a while, you will see what i mean.
| LEFT BRAIN FUNCTIONS uses logic detail oriented facts rule words and language present and past math and science can comprehend knowing acknowledges order/pattern perception knows object name reality based forms strategies practical safe | RIGHT BRAIN FUNCTIONS uses feeling “big picture” oriented imagination rules symbols and images present and future philosophy & religion can “get it” (i.e. meaning) believes appreciates spatial perception knows object function fantasy based presents possibilities impetuous risk taking |
