Wishful thinking feels comforting, but in retirement planning, it can quietly sabotage your future. In this second installment, Jude breaks down five more dangerous assumptions people make when planning for their golden years. From relying too much on Social Security to assuming Medicare will handle long-term care, this episode challenges listeners to face financial realities with clarity and strategy. Here's some of what we discuss in this episode:
There's an old Chinese phrase that goes, "It's better to be a dog in peaceful times than a man in a time of chaos." Wishful thinking, some may call that, for it's difficult to see peaceful times at any moment in human history. Most of us with a bit of life experience hearken back to when times were easier, and end up moralizing to any who will listen that our times back then were superior. And while that may be superficially true, it's not all that helpful. And complaining doesn't make the young fold feel any better.In fact, your and old may just end up pointing fingers at each other as to who's to blame for the world as it is.We'd like to dip our feet into those tumultuous waters in this podcast to suggest that all those lamentations and blame apportioning miss the fundamental point: we've been on an inverted path for millennia. We've reached the end of the road in a literal sense.Can any sense be made of the correct way to go now?Love, Consciousness and the Troubled World, today on Thinking with Somebody Else's Head.Click here to listen to this episode.

Ian Altman discusses the difference between real and wishful sales forecasts on the Same Side Selling podcast. He emphasizes that salespeople are optimistic by nature and often provide unrealistic forecasts, especially when deals are forecasted to close at the end of the month, which frequently get pushed to the next month. Altman advises sales managers to ask more probing questions to uncover the true status of deals, such as understanding the client's motivations and alternatives. By focusing on meaningful questions, managers can identify real deals faster and improve sales accuracy.Biggest MistakesIan elaborates on the issue of salespeople providing optimistic forecasts, often citing vague dates like the end of the month, which are more hopeful than realistic.He points out that salespeople may delay providing specific dates to maximize the time available to close a deal, which can lead to unrealistic expectations.Ian advises sales managers to question the rationale behind forecasted dates, especially if they are the last day of the month, to uncover whether the date is truly constrained by the client's schedule or merely a hopeful estimate.He suggests that managers should probe deeper into the reasons behind the client's decision-making process to understand their motivations and alternatives, which can help in distinguishing between real and wishful forecasts.Best PracticesIan recommends asking more meaningful questions during sales meetings to uncover the true status and likelihood of deals, such as what would happen if the client did not choose the salesperson's company, and why the client might choose an alternative.He emphasizes the importance of understanding the client's motivations and the significance of specific dates, as this can provide insights into the client's decision-making process and the likelihood of closing the deal.Ian advises sales managers to encourage their teams to think from the client's perspective, focusing on what the client needs to believe in order to make a decision, rather than just relying on optimistic forecasts.He suggests that by consistently asking these types of questions, salespeople will be better prepared and more likely to identify and pursue real deals, leading to faster and more successful outcomes.
Timestamps:10:04 - Laconia's investment strategy12:56 - Why no warm intro is needed19:17 - How Laconia evaluates deals27:55 - Wishful thinking & investment red flags36:27 - Do Swiss companies need outside investment?This episode was co-produced with the Deep Tech Nation Switzerland Foundation.About Geri Kirilova:Geri Kirilova is a partner at Laconia, a seed stage fund focused on B2B software companies. Geri holds a BA in Information Systems & Management from the NYU Stern School of Business, and worked as a VC for funds like Credo Ventures and LAUNCHub before joining Laconia in 2017. She recently moved to Switzerland with her husband.According to Geri, Laconia mainly invests in industries like retail tech, ecommerce enablement, proptech, fintech and digital health, and their investment strategy focuses on three key aspects: Strong unit economics; The ability to grow in a capital-efficient manner; The ability to make decisions in a repeatable fashion.As a rule, Laconia does not require a warm intro, and encourages companies to cold email them. This is because nowadays warm intros have become so standard that they no longer hold any value in Geri's eyes. What used to be “Hey, this person I worked with before is the smartest person I know, and they're raising funds for their company” has become “Hey this person I know is raising funds for their company”, so to Geri and her team, a “lukewarm intro” is the same as a cold email.When evaluating deals, Geri thinks of the following questions: What are the key beliefs, risks and hypotheses of this company? Is there market demand for their product? What's this company's go-to-market strategy? Can this company acquire significant market share over time? Do the founders have the right balance of ambition and realism to execute their vision?The cover portrait was edited by www.smartportrait.ioDon't forget to give us a follow on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook and Linkedin, so you can always stay up to date with our latest initiatives.

It's time for another episode of Tales Around the Teapot. The Teapots have written and narrated brilliant short stories and poems, this time introducing 'Wishful' written narrated by Joan Warburton.
Read along to practice your English and to learn the English phrases WISHFUL THINKING and TO THINK BIGIn this English lesson, I wanted to help you learn the English phrase wishful thinking. Wishful thinking is when you think positively about something, but it probably isn't going to go the way you think it will. Here's a great example. If you don't study and you have an English test in a few months and you just think, ah, I'll just watch YouTube videos and I'll pass that English test, that's probably wishful thinking. You probably aren't doing enough. You're thinking that you're going to pass the test by just watching YouTube videos, but you should really be practicing your speaking and your writing and your reading and all of that stuff as well. So it might be wishful thinking. So hopefully you understand. It means you think a positive thought about something, but you're probably wrong.WANT FREE ENGLISH LESSONS? GO TO YOUTUBE AND SEARCH, "BOB THE CANADIAN"If you enjoy these lessons please consider supporting me at: http://www.patreon.com/bobthecanadianThe other phrase I wanted to teach you today is to think big. So sometimes at work someone will have an idea for a small change and then someone will say, why don't we think big? Instead of doing the small change, why don't we do something even bigger? So an example would be maybe a teacher says, my classroom isn't big enough so I'm going to remove a couple desks. And someone else might say, hey, why don't we think big? Why don't we instead spend millions of dollars and build you a bigger classroom? That's something that doesn't usually happen, but it could.Anyways to review. Wishful thinking is when you hope for something positive, but it probably won't happen. You're just being really, really optimistic. And to think big is to dream bigger than you would to solve maybe a small problem.But hey, let's look at a comment from a previous video. I wasn't going to talk about the weather today, but it's minus 15 right now, minus 21 with the wind chill. It's about, it's about as cold as it gets. This comment is from. Let's see here. Let me get my glove back on. Paper and gloves are a bit of a challenge. This comment is from Tolik. Thank you for the lesson, Bob. You have really nice boots. I like them. Have a nice day and I said I love my boots. I hope they last forever. But alas, I think that is wishful thinking.So yeah, I've had these boots for a while. I really, really like them. They are really, really nice boots. But to think that they might last forever I think would be wishful thinking. So a positive thought for something that most likely won't happen. So Tolik thank you for that comment, let me see If I can get this off here.Yeah, I wasn't going to talk about the weather, so I'll try... I'll try not to do that at all. So, anyways, I had a beautiful family day Monday. Yesterday for me. Two days ago for you. I think that is just the best holiday. My kids and I and Jen, we actually went and we played some badminton at the school. We went out to a little cafe afterwards and had a little treat. Uh, we spent some time as a family. We watched the TV show Jeopardy.I'm not sure if you know what that show is, but Jeopardy is a trivia show, a quiz show where they ask questions and then the contestants have to try and answer them. By the way, Jeopardy is probably a great way to learn English if you could find a way to watch that show. Uh, so we had supper together. Uh, we watched Jeopardy together. It was a fun evening, and it's fun just to have a day where you decide to spend the day with your family. So I really enjoyed it.Right now, though, I'm going to go back inside. It's a little too cold this morning for me, and I think I need to go warm up. ThanSupport the show

20241201 6PMp RI Vision and Hope On Vision Sunday, we look forward to what lies ahead. In a year, or in the next four years. There are various kinds of Hope. “Wishful thinking” type hope, or “Wait and see type hope” e.g. Christmas, exams, growth of children. What is your hope? What is your hope in Christ? In times of blessing, or in times of agony? Do we yearn for God himself, or just yearn for the blessings that God gives? Horatio Spafford in times of trying, he wrote: When peace like a river attendeth my way , when troubles like sea billows roll, whatever my lot, Thou has taught me to say, “It is well with my soul.” The Hope that comes from God is also different in that it is not dependent on us, but it depends on Him. It is sure and certain. It is a relationship with the Living God. Hope rests with God. “Hopeful people are prayerful people.” People with Hope are Bold people. May our hearts yearn for the Living God. Speaker: Ron Irving.

Our focus is principled so each episode reflects the immediate peace and stability of our Ever-Present Knowing Awareness that clarifies conflicted impressions manifest by the instability and hyper-reactivity of obsessive thinking that is purely “imagined reality” and sleepwalking is the consequence. To sleepwalk through life is to pay little if any attention to what is happening. What can go wrong? Check your experience. Brains judge naturally. Judging is not wrong unless incorrect. For as long as we think that thoughts are Reality the nature of judgment is turned into spiteful contempt, not only for what we are thinking of - but for Reality and Truth. Feeling condemned is the natural effect of maintaining contempt-full thoughts. It is the condemned nature of the thought that is felt, not Reality. To be wrong about how and what we think about Reality and Truth is to destabilize subsequent thinking and turn our great potential into dysfunctional behaviors that lack any benefit greater than an opportunity to learn - if we read the signs.Reality is not a trick, magical, wishful, or miracle. Wishful thinking becomes vain hope once we think thoughts are reality and we then can be turned into only what we think. The Mental Obsession Discussion:We Know We Know. We Are Aware We Are Aware. We Are as We Are. Reality is unlimited. Nothing can be added or subtracted to or from It. The idea that how and what we think creates reality suggests otherwise. Acting on such backward thoughts leads to behaviors that are out of order. Anxious and systemic disorders reflect this impossible attempt to reverse the Laws of the universe that govern nature's order. Disease is the lack of ease created and maintained by such twisted mental gymnastics. Sharing principles affirms and confirms our indivisibility. We can choose desperation while our unchanging essence remains inspired. Moments of clarity are like sparks of enlightenment revealing the Ever Present Shadowless Knowing Light of Inspiration's Intuitive Wisdom aptly called brilliance, bright, and radiant. Intelligence expresses our knowing nature. Ignoring what is happening produces unintelligible ignorance - not reality.contact@mentalobsession.com

My special guest tonight is Dr. Kewanuee & Kelly Lapseritis who are here to discuss their research and contact with the Sasquatch People and the message they have for humanity. Buy the book. Bigfoot, also commonly referred to as Sasquatch, is a purported ape-like creature said to inhabit the forests of North America. Many dubious articles have been offered in attempts to prove the existence of Bigfoot, including anecdotal claims of sightings as well as alleged video and audio recordings, photographs, and casts of large footprints.[2] Some of which are known or admitted hoaxes.[3] Tales of wild, hairy humanoids exist throughout the world,[4] and such creatures appear in the folklore of North America,[5] including the mythologies of indigenous people.[6][7] Bigfoot is an icon within the fringe subculture of cryptozoology,[8] and an enduring element of popular culture.[9] The majority of mainstream scientists have historically discounted the existence of Bigfoot, considering it to be the result of a combination of folklore, misidentification, and hoax, rather than a living animal.[10][11]Folklorists trace the phenomenon of Bigfoot to a combination of factors and sources including indigenous cultures, the European wild man figure, and folk tales.[12] Wishful thinking, a cultural increase in environmental concerns, and overall societal awareness of the subject have been cited as additional factors.[13] Other creatures of relatively similar descriptions are alleged to inhabit various regions throughout the world, such as the Skunk ape of the southeastern United States; the Almas, Yeren, and Yeti in Asia; and the Australian Yowie; all of which are also engrained in the cultures of their regions.[14Follow Our Other ShowsFollow UFO WitnessesFollow Crime Watch WeeklyFollow Paranormal FearsFollow Seven: Disturbing Chronicle StoriesJoin our Patreon for ad-free listening and more bonus content.Follow us on Instagram @mysteriousradioFollow us on TikTok mysteriousradioTikTok Follow us on Twitter @mysteriousradio Follow us on Pinterest pinterest.com/mysteriousradio Like us on Facebook Facebook.com/mysteriousradio]

I've just about seen it all when it comes to costing a project. Wishful thinking to hopeful estimates to “what do you reckon?”You want to know how much your project's really going to cost, but it seems like no one can tell you, or they just say what you want to hear “yeah we can probably do it for that”.What I've learnt in this industry is that it's always better to know the actual cost. Not an estimate or ballpark figure but the real cost. In this episode, I want to help you. A way of costing your project that takes out the guesswork, estimations and crossing fingers and gets you to a solid number.

What can you do when your calendar's full, your task manager is bulging at the seams, and you find yourself stuck with nowhere to turn? That's what we are looking at today.

A podcast to answer all your questions about productivity, time management, self-development and goal planning. My name is Carl Pullein, and I am your host of this show. Do you feel, or often feel, that no matter what you do, there is always too much to do? Hundreds of emails that need responding to, several projects all coming to a close at the same time, and a demanding personal life? It's a horrible feeling, isn't it? It feels like there's no room to move or do anything you want to do. Turn up each day, and the noise destroys your energy, willpower and sense of being human—the “rinse and repeat” approach to life. It leaves you exhausted at the end of the day, yet with a feeling you got nothing important done. The good news is all is not lost, but you are going to have to do something that every instinct in your body will tell you can't do. Yet, if you do not do anything, these miserable days will continue forever. Those who have managed to drag themselves out of that pit of despair have had to do something that was uncomfortable yet brought them the organisation and calm they were looking for. The good news is the action you need to take is not so dramatic that you need to quit your job. In fact, once you commit to taking action it can be a lot of fun. (No, really!) So, with all that said, let me hand you over to the Mystery Podcast Voice for this week's question. This week's question comes from Anthony. Anthony asks, Hi Carl, Can you help? I am completely overwhelmed with emails and tasks. I have three deadlines coming up at the end of this month, and I am so far behind I know I will miss those deadlines. How does anyone stay on top of their work? Hi Anthony, Thank you for your question, and I hope you had time to renegotiate your deadlines before the end of February. Okay, where to start? When anyone finds themselves caught in a spiral of never-ending tasks, emails and projects, there is only one thing you can do, and that is to stop. And this is the part every instinct in your body will scream NO! I don't have time. You are right in one respect; you don't have time, but then you don't have time to do your work either, do you? So, really, there's nothing to lose by stopping altogether. Let me explain why stopping altogether, at least for a couple of days, is the best thing you can do. A lot of what you have accumulated likely does not need doing, but it is swirling around in your head or in your task manager telling you it does need doing. It's only when you stop, step back and look at everything as a whole that you begin to see what needs doing and what likely does not. You won't see that unless you stop. Let's take email as an example. At what point will responding to an email become embarrassing for you? A week, two weeks, a month or three months? If you have not replied to an email after three weeks, do you think the person who sent the email to you is still waiting, or do they even remember sending you the email in the first place? Where is your line? You see, there is a professional consideration here. If you have not responded to an email for three weeks, what do you think the sender will feel about you if they get a reply now? Unprofessional? Disorganised? A mess? The thing is, if you have failed to respond to an email for three or more weeks often the best thing you can do is to leave it. Archive the email and move on. If it is important or does need your attention it will come back at some point. I would say if it has been a few weeks, the chances are things have moved on already anyway, and you won't need to worry about it. In my email system, Inbox Zero 2.0, I advise you to pick one of two options. A hard or soft email bankruptcy. Most people choose the soft email bankruptcy; this is where you select all the emails you have not responded to that are older than two to three weeks and move them to a new folder called “Old Inbox”. Then clear off the remaining emails in your inbox. For these older emails you can go through them at leisure over the next few weeks and decide what to do with them. The reality is most people end up deleting this folder after a few weeks because they realise nothing in there is worth keeping. The hard email bankruptcy is more effective but scary. Do the same as you would do with the soft email bankruptcy, but instead of moving them off to a folder, you hit the delete key and delete them. You don't need to worry about any retention issues; if you received an email, there will be a copy of it. Someone sent you the email in the first place, and anything you delete will sit in your trash folder for at least 30 days unless you change the defaults. Just this action will get you back on top of your email. However, to prevent the problem from reoccurring, you will need to change your email management practices. The best advice I can give you here is to set aside an hour a day—every day—to deal with your communications. Staying on top of email requires time each day. Miss just one day, and you will require double the amount of time the next day. It's just not worth it. If you want a future where you are in control of your mail, you will need to deal with it every day. I'm reminded of Friedrich Nietzsche (that's the philosopher with the amazing moustache) who, among other things, popularised the Stoics term Amor Fati - which loosely translated means “loving your fate”. We all have to live with instant messages and emails today which means either we learn to love dealing with it or allow it to become a burden. I prefer to find ways to make dealing with email a pleasure. I set the environment. Some great music, a comfortable chair and a warm dog sat next to me while I plough through as quickly as I can the emails I need to respond to today. Oh, and don't forget the obligatory cup of British tea. Perfect. Now, for me, email's a joy! Now for the tasks in your task manager. Again, this will require some time out. Whether you have a few hundred or a few thousand tasks in your task manager, the best thing you can do is to go through this one by one and delete those that are no longer necessary, or you feel you have no time to get to this year. Your goal here is to reduce this list by at least 50%. Your task manager really needs to be only concerned with anything you need to do in the next three months. Anything beyond that is either going to change significantly or won't get done. Anything that you think needs to be done beyond three months can be put on your calendar as an all-day event. Or if you are not sure when you will do it or even if you ever will, you can create a list in your notes app and dump them there. Task managers only work if they are clean and tight. In other words, if anything on your task list is something you may like to do or sounds like a good idea today but doesn't really need to be done it should be removed. Only tasks you know need to be done should be there, and nothing else. Wishful tasks should be in a project note or a master would-like-to-do list—in your notes. Your notes app can be the dumping ground for these, never your task manager. The problem with dumping everything in your task manager, whether they need doing or not, is your task manager will soak them up willingly but will also want to remind you of them at some point. So what do we do? We add a date or a tag or label so we don't forget them. And now you've just created overwhelm for yourself. These tasks will come back on random dates, and you will be swamped. Now, you will either reschedule them or give up altogether with the task manager—a great tool if used properly. So, clean up your task manager and make sure only things that need to be done are on there, and nothing else. Finally, let's look at your calendar. The chances are when you look at your calendar, you are going to see the underlying problem fairly clearly. It is here where you will see how you are managing your time. Which is, after all, the essence of everything. I mentioned earlier about setting aside some time each day for dealing with your communications; the question now is, what else do you need time for each day? It's likely you will need time for dealing with administrative tasks—those little things that need to be dealt with. Things like managing your personal finances, expense reports, arranging your next vacation and such like. What about family time or time for exercise, etc? How much time do you want for these activities each week? This is where your calendar becomes the master. You can allocate time for these activities and block them out on your calendar so you won't be tempted to allow anything else to get in the way. How many meetings do you have, on average, each week? Are you spending too much time in meetings? Do you need to attend all those meetings? Could you be excused from some of them? These are questions you can ask yourself when you go through your calendar. Could you find two to three hours, three to four times per week for deep-focused work? If so, block the time out now. Create the space you need to do the things you want to or need to do. Only your calendar will tell you if you have the time. You may look at your calendar and instantly see you have overcommitted yourself. If that's the case, what can you do to remove some of those commitments? Who do you need to talk to? To get in control of your time and work, there will likely be some difficult choices to make. The issue is, though, if you don't make those difficult choices today, the problems you are trying to solve will come back again and again. If you try and resolve these issues without stopping and stepping back, you'll only find yourself putting it off. There has to be a break-point. Why not do it now and get things back under control today? Alternatively, you could block out a weekend in the near future to get everything under control. Two days, where you are completely on your own to get everything sorted out, can be great for your mental well-being. You get to see where the problems are, and once you see them, you can spend time finding the solutions. I hope that has helped, Anthony. Thank you for your question. And thank you to you, too, for listening. It just remains for me now to wish you a very, very productive week.

Wishful thinking is when there's something you hope or want to happen… but the reality is that it probably won't; it's actually very unlikely. Let me give you a couple examples!

Mona Kattan has been obsessed with fragrance her whole life. So after building Huda Beauty with her sister, Huda, following its launch in 2013, she decided to build her own brand, Kayali, starting in 2018. Now, Huda Beauty, Kayali and Wishful (which makes skin care) form the Kattan sisters' beauty empire. Kattan's passion for scent is evident when she speaks about perfume. In January, she shared a video on YouTube displaying her "fragrance library," which stores over 3,500 bottles. Kayali, she shares on this episode of the Glossy Beauty podcast, had a big year. It launched its Yum Pistachio Gelato 33 perfume, a limited edition wedding collection timed to Kattan's own nuptials and, most recently, its biggest drop yet, "Oudgasm." The Oudgasm collection focuses on four interpretations of oud, a traditionally Middle Eastern wood note. Kattan spoke with Glossy about her lifelong obsession with fragrance, her approach to building a brand at the right speed and her process of testing up to 500 new scents at a time.

Wouldn't it be great if you didn't have to do anything at all, yet all your work showed up completed each day, in a neat, organized pile, ready for your manager or client to review?Actually, no. That would be terrible. It seems like it would be wonderful, but the reality is that you need to experience struggle and tension to feel alive. There is no growth without tension. There is no gratification without challenge.Optimism is a belief in a better possible future, knowing that it might require some work to achieve. Wishful thinking is lazy optimism that wants everything to just happen. Optimism is willing to put in the work, while wishful thinking wants to live with the delusion that things will just work out.We need optimism to do creative work. Without it, we cannot take intuitive leaps. But we are still responsible for the work necessary to bring our vision into being.Believe in a better possible future, then develop a plan to bring it about.Optimism is creative fuel. Wishful thinking is lazy optimism.QUESTIONAre you falling into the trap of wishful thinking? Where do you need a plan vs. a dream?
Lately, I've been getting so many messages about leaning into hope and faith. It's been a long few years and it seems like we've just been waiting for the other shoe to drop every time something good starts to happen. The energy that is coming through is very different though. Spirit has been reminding me in so many ways that we have so much support! One afternoon, I had a strong nudge from spirit to record myself channeling, something I've never really done before outside of readings. The message was about hope. We are coming into a time when it is safe to hope again, without disclaimers and naming all the ways it might not work out. Every time I talk about something I want, I always follow it by saying that I'll be okay if it doesn't happen. This message emphasized that because the possibility of it not working is implied, we don't need to put any energy into it. We can just hope. Period. I was also shown the difference between hope and wishful thinking. Wishful thinking is often us focusing on something that we know isn't possible, is based on ego, or that isn't in our best interest. It is allowing the mind to tell a story. Hope comes from the soul, and allows us to believe that we deserve the best even when our circumstances don't reflect that yet. Hope is a light in the dark that connect us to the universe. After receiving this download, I also pulled some cards to elaborate on how this energy may play out for us if we choose to process any limitations keeping us from leaning into hope. How do you feel about hope?
