Quit these 4 bad habits to start actually achieving your goals

Billionaire Ray Dalio

When it comes to setting your goals, the sky is the limit. There are a few exceptions, like “playing center on a professional basketball team if you’re short, or running a four-minute mile at age 70,” Dalio writes, but aside from that there is no dream too big to tackle.

“What you think is attainable is just a function of what you know at the moment,” he writes. “Remember that great expectations create great capabilities. If you limit your goals to what you know you can achieve, you are setting the bar way too low.”

How to Be Brave When You’re Feeling Scared: The Secret to Performing Under Pressure

Courage is not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it.”  Think of courage that way and it’s obvious that bravery — sometimes an extraordinary level of bravery — is required in leadership and business. Like taking a chance when others will not. Or following your vision, no matter where it leads.

If You’re Using a Free VPN, You’re Being Farmed For Data

The major free VPN services. Spoiler alert: They’re all pretty much as bad as Onavo, and some are arguably much worse. The cliché “If you aren’t paying for the product you are the product” really isn’t true these days, given how many companies now hoover your private data whether you sign up for a paying service or not, but it’s absolutely true that “free” VPNs are little more than scams.

Gmail’s ‘Confidential Mode’ arrives on mobile devices

Once you’ve turned on confidential mode for a specific email, you can set an expiration date and passcode so that you can restrict access to the email either in the web interface or via SMS. Recipients of these confidential emails won’t be able to copy, paste, download, print or forward the message, and attachments will be disabled.

That doesn’t stop anyone from taking a screenshot of your message, however.

How To Survive A Ransomware Attack — And Not Get Hit Again

Ransomware comes in two types. The first encrypts the files on a computer or network; the second locks a user’s screen. “Some ransomware will also act like a worm – as was the case with WannaCry – and once inside a network, will spread laterally to other machines without interaction by the attacker or the infected user,” says a NCSC spokesman.

The next 50 years of cyber security

Observable gaps prevent our industry from operating in a rational, scientific and organized way. I think that the information security industry is currently stalling due to:

  1. A lack of classification methods around the root causes of breaches.
  2. A lack of transparency into the root causes of data breaches.
  3. A lack of probabilistic methods for those who practice cyber security.

Only a collective drive from this industry and its communities toward quantifiable methods and goals will allow us to build a future we’re proud of.

The Cognitive Biases Tricking Your Brain
