I Asked Runners Why They Run — This Is What They Said

So, we all know that running is good for our physical shape and health, as well as an excellent solution for dealing with stress, anxiety and depression and self-esteem issues, but can running be good for your career too?

• The answer is “yes”!

Running is more than just a good cardio workout; it will teach you valuable life lessons and will make you a better and smarter worker as well!

Here are the benefits from running which can affect your work performance and your career as well:

1. Running will teach you self-discipline

If you are a regular runner who sticks to their weekly, monthly and annual running schedule, then you definitely have the self-discipline needed for a person to be good at their work.

If you get out of bed and go out running in the morning despite the fact that you have stayed up late entertaining guests last night, or are not scared of going out for your daily run despite the fact that it is raining outside, then you surely can handle the number of responsibilities you have at work too, even though you may not enjoy each and every one of them too much.

Also, if you are part of a running group, you probably feel even more motivated to go out for your run because of the fact that other people are waiting for you and possibly relying on you – this too teaches you to be a better team player and to work in accordance to the needs and expectations of your team and your colleagues.

2. Being a runner teaches you to set and stick to a schedule

Regular and serous runners set themselves annual running and racing goals, as well as monthly and weekly running goals as well, and then they make sure that they stick to them. This goes especially for runners who have planned a race and are getting ready for it.

​This requires meticulous planning of the training, the smaller pre-peak races and participation in the race itself. The schedule also includes the required resting time as well. By learning how to set a strict schedule and adhere to it, one definitely becomes a much more efficient employee as well.

​Learning to plan and follow your plan is especially important for people whose work involves working on big projects which require proper timing and planning.

Well, runners are more likely to be able to develop such a schedule and work in accordance with it, in order to achieve the goal and complete the project in a timely manner and at the level of quality expected.

3. Runners have excellent time management skills

Runners often need to find ways to juggle in between chores and work in order to fit in their planned daily runs or workouts in their daily schedule.

This requires well-developed time management skills, which is a trait which most employers are looking for when hiring the best employee for a job.

​Being able to properly handle their responsibilities in a timely manner is essential for the performance of any worker.

Did you know that promoting exercise in the office drastically boosts the productivity of the workers?

4. Running is usually goal oriented

Runners normally set goals for themselves for the year, month or week of running. Many runners plan their annual races early on, and create their training, racing and resting cycles in accordance to the goal races.

Other runners set time and mileage goals for the month or week too. Usually, there are a number of smaller goals which runners set for themselves before they can reach to the bigger ones.

This kind of goal oriented mindset is what employers expect from their employees, and what every business owner needs to have. This is why runners can become excellent managers as well. 

5. Analysis and flexibility

Yes, runners usually train and race in accordance to their training and race schedule and goals, but along the way they know how to analyze their performance and physical condition, and how to reset the goals, timelines or other parts of the schedule in case of injury or other unexpected obstacles which get in the way.

You can now get a BMW M8 GTE Electric for your kids

While your kids might not be able to drive a BMW M8 GTE until later on in their adult life, you can at least plant the seed from the early years. Thanks to the latest BMW Lifestyle collection, a BMW M8 GTE car is available for kids.

Yet, this is not your ordinary car toy. The car packs a kid-sized electric motor, along with race-ready elements, like the yellow-tinted lights. Furthermore, it gets genuine BMW engine sounds, lighting effects and opening doors transform children’s rooms and gardens into a racetrack. With the integrated MP3 interface for playing music and audio files, the little ones don’t have to miss out.

No official specs were announced, but it’s likely to include a 6-volt battery and a top speed of 2.5 mph, as well as an operating time of 1-2 hours between charges. The charge time could be as long as 8-12 hours.

Two opening doors make it easy to hop in and out, while rubber traction trips make the trip smoother. The light-up dashboard houses a battery life indicator, so you’ll always know when it’s time to plug in your ride-on battery.

Of course, that segment is already filled with some exciting ride-ons, like the McLaren’s 720S, but this M8 GTE is definitely a cool alternative to the supercar. It’s also cheaper than the McLaren, priced at €330 or around $360 at today’s exchange rates. BMW says the car can be picked up through select dealerships.

Birthday of Rabindranath Tagore

Rabindranath Tagore, Bengali Rabīndranāth Ṭhākur, (born May 7, 1861, Calcutta [now Kolkata], India—died August 7, 1941, Calcutta), Bengali poet, short-story writer, song composer, playwright, essayist, and painter who introduced new prose and verse forms and the use of colloquial language into Bengali literature, thereby freeing it from traditional models based on classical Sanskrit. He was highly influential in introducing Indian culture to the West and vice versa, and he is generally regarded as the outstanding creative artist of early 20th-century India. In 1913 he became the first non-European to receive the Nobel Prize for Literature.

NOTABLE WORKS

AWARDS AND HONORS

• Nobel Prize

The son of the religious reformer Debendranath Tagore, he early began to write verses, and, after incomplete studies in England in the late 1870s, he returned to India. There he published several books of poetry in the 1880s and completed Manasi (1890), a collection that marks the maturing of his genius. It contains some of his best-known poems, including many in verse forms new to Bengali, as well as some social and political satire that was critical of his fellow Bengalis.

In 1891 Tagore went to East Bengal (now in Bangladesh) to manage his family’s estates at Shilaidah and Shazadpur for 10 years. There he often stayed in a houseboat on the Padma River (the main channel of the Ganges River), in close contact with village folk, and his sympathy for them became the keynote of much of his later writing. Most of his finest short stories, which examine “humble lives and their small miseries,” date from the 1890s and have a poignancy, laced with gentle irony, that is unique to him (though admirably captured by the director Satyajit Ray in later film adaptations). Tagore came to love the Bengali countryside, most of all the Padma River, an often-repeated image in his verse. During these years he published several poetry collections, notably Sonar Tari (1894; The Golden Boat), and plays, notably Chitrangada (1892; Chitra). Tagore’s poems are virtually untranslatable, as are his more than 2,000 songs, which achieved considerable popularity among all classes of Bengali society.

Mother pretends to boil stones as food for her starving children

Kenya: A mother of eight children put stones in a utensil with water and put it on fire for boiling to make her hungry children believe that she is cooking food for them.
The mother Peninah Bahati Kitsao, who lives in Mombasa thought her children would go to sleep while they waited for their meal.

According to BBC News, Kitaso is an illiterate woman who used to work as a washerwoman in her neighbourhood.  She became redundant as people are observing social distance due to coronavirus.

When her neighbour, Prisca Momanvi, saw this tragic scene, she alerted the media and also opened a bank account for her.

Kitaso started receiving money in her bank account and via mobile phone as Kenyans came forward for her help.

Kitaso is a widow, her husband was killed by an armed robber last year. She lives in a two-bedroom house without water and electricity.   

She regards the help she received as a “miracle” and says: “I didn’t believe that Kenyans can be so loving. I have been receiving phone calls from all over the country asking how they might be of help,” she told Tuko news website.

“I had to devise a way of making my last born child know that there was food being prepared after she started to cry over hunger.  The rest of my children are a bit older and when I told them we had nothing to eat, they understood,” Kitaso told Standardmedia.

The Kenyan government has already launched a feeding programme as a relief for the coronavirus affected people, but it has not reached many including Kitaso.

The last places on earth without the coronavirus

Despite infecting more than 3 million people around the world, there are still 33 countries and territories that have yet to report a single case of the novel coronavirus.

These include Comoros, Lesotho, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and tiny far-flung island nations in the Pacific such as Nauru, Kiribati and the Solomon Islands.

(Open tmsnrt.rs/3cUYM31 in an external browser to see an interactive graphic showing the last places on earth to be free of the new coronavirus.)

As of April 20, 214 countries and territories of the 247 recognised by the United Nations have seen at least one case of the COVID-19. Of these, 190 have also experienced local transmission — where the virus has spread within the community. There have been deaths in at least 166 of them.

Just because a nation has not reported an infection does not necessarily mean there have been no cases.

For example, North Korea has not reported any coronavirus cases but it is bordered by China, Russia and South Korea, all countries dealing with a high number of cases, meaning the virus may well have made it into the secretive state.

Some trends can be seen by looking at the spread of the coronavirus by regions. Asia experienced roughly two broad waves of transmission across borders, while in Europe, many countries started to report cases in the week from late February.

Latin America and Africa looked to be virus-free for January and February before the coronavirus spread rapidly through both continents.

Five countries and territories have managed to rid themselves of the virus after reporting cases. These are Anguilla, Greenland, the Caribbean islands of St. Barts and Saint Lucia, and Yemen.

None has reported deaths or state any currently active infections, with previous cases having fully recovered.

(This story corrects paragraph 1 to show 33 countries and territories without a case, not 34. Corrects paragraph 4 to show the number of countries and territories with at least one case is 214 not 213; shows 190 have experienced local transmission, not 186; shows 166 have had deaths, not 162. The graphic has also been corrected.)

12 Facts You Should Know About TikTok

While more and more brands and businesses start using TikTok for their marketing, the majority of people still don’t understand what the hype is all about.And if you’ve never heard about TikTok at all, you might already be out of the loop.I know, in the age of the internet, it feels as if a new trend or app is emerging daily. However, while you can ignore most of these hypes, you should pay close attention to TikTok, the Chinese video-sharing app.In a very short time, TikTok has spread like wildfire and gained millions of users globally.In the past few weeks, I’ve dived deep into understanding TikTok as a marketing tool and what I realized is that most people don’t even know what TikTok actually is, or that it might be highly relevant for their business.

TikTok is a social media platform that allows users to produce and share very short creative videos of 15 to 60 seconds.

1. TikTok Started in China

Contrary to Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Pinterest, YouTube, and all the other big players, TikTok is not U.S.-based.In 2016, TikTok started as a Chiese project called Douyin, which is still the Chinese name of the app.TikTok is still owned by a huge Chinese tech giant called Bytedance. So, if you’ve come across any article stating that the U.S is trying to ban TikTok, now you know why they work so hard to do so.Of course, the U.S. does its best to prevent a Chinese social media platform from growing and scaling globally. But it’s too late.

2. Over 800 Million Active Users Worldwide
That’s a lot of people, huh?According to the latest studies, more than 800 million people worldwide are actively using TikTok.That’s already way more than Twitter, Linkedin, and Snapchat. If you’ve thought that TikTok is a weird video platform for kids, that’s the moment you should consider rethinking.For comparison, Instagram has one billion active users. And if we look at the rapid growth of TikTok, this number might be reached soon.

3. Over 1.5 billion Downloads on the App Store and Google Play
In November 2019, Sensor Tower reported that TikTok already surpassed 1.5 billion app downloads worldwide. The one billion mark of app downloads is a very critical one that not many have surpassed until now. Especially not in such a short period. Remember, TikTok was launched in 2016—that’s not even four years ago.Facebook, for example, was founded in 2004, meaning that it took them quite some while to establish themselves. (I know, times have changed, people are more open to downloading apps and using social platforms nowadays compared to 15 years ago; however, these numbers are still impressive.) Once TikTok passed the one billion mark of app downloads, Facebook and other big players started to pay close attention to the rising star.

4. The World’s Most Valuable Start-up
The company behind TikTok is a privately held one called Bytedance. Bytedance was founded in 2012 in China and is now the world’s most valuable startup with a valuation of over $ 75 billion. A startup, per definition, is a company that is still privately held, but that’s not the case for many big businesses. Thus Bytedance is in the first row.Why might this fact be interesting? Because it indicates that the company is healthy and able to scale. Plus, the firm valuation of Bytedance could mean that TikTok won’t be sold to one of the American corporations anytime soon.

5. Over 30 Million Active Users in the U.S.
As the app was initially launched in China, that’s where the majority of its users are from.A big part of TikToks users is from Asian countries, mainly China and India.However, the growth outside of Asia is remarkable. In the U.S. alone, already more than 30 million people are actively using TikTok, and the number is increasing at an incredibly quick rate.

6. Focused on Gen Z, but Not for Kids
Even if TikTok holds massive potential for covering people across various continents and age groups, the current majority on the platform is still a young one.Compared to other social platforms, TikTok has the youngest user base.Almost 70 percent of TikTok users are between 16 to 24 years old, which means that only 30 percent are 25+ years old.While most people ignore TikTok because of the demographics, that’s actually why you should pay such close attention to it.Remember how Facebook started?It was a platform for students.Zuckerberg’s initial intention was to connect students, so of course, Facebook’s first users also were much younger than the current average.The same happened with Instagram.Young people got annoyed by Facebook because their parents (or even grandparents) started hanging out there, and they switched to Instagram.However, after some time, our mums and dads also discovered Instagram, and the average age of the users again increased.That’s why young people are now spending time on TikTok. They are native to the platform, and their parents (not to talk about grandparents) don’t understand the app.
Honestly, I also struggled to understand how TikTok works. I downloaded the app four times and always deleted it because I didn’t understand what to do. However, the fifth time, I forced myself to master the platform because I am so convinced of its importance.
TikTok is not only about funny videos with sound effects but holds up so much more potential.
While the easy creation of fancy videos is what makes the platform so unique, older generations find it hard to understand all the features.
But that’s no surprise.
Remember explaining Facebook or Instagram to your parents? That was tough as well, right?In general, new technologies are always first embraced by young people, long before it achieves the critical mass. Thus, it would be unwise to ignore the platform right now. The sooner you get started, the more comfortable you will grow your (ideal) audience on TikTok.

7. More Than 50 Minutes per Day
The average TikTok user spends more than 50 minutes per day on the app.That number is similar to Facebook and Instagram and indicates a bright future for the app.TikTok is exceptionally addictive, and heavy users are spending several hours per day watching the short videos.The founders of the app considered everything possible to make people stay on the app. And they succeeded. 

8. 34 percent Actively Post Every Day
Compared to other platforms, the activity level on TikTok is really high.About 34 percent of all users publish at least one video per day.Similar to any other social platform, you will grow your audience by posting regularly. That’s what a third of the users understand and put into practice.TikTok gives its users an exceptional organic reach. Even with no followers, your posting can go viral and reach millions.The TikTok algorithm is exceptionally sharp and delivers what people want to see.If users like your content, you will experience strong growth in a short time.Because of this steady growth, content creators are motivated to create more and more.

9. It’s not as Fake as Instagram
When browsing TikTok, you (mostly) feel as if you are around ordinary people.TikTok users mainly reject Instagram’s highly polished aesthetic.They are more real.The majority of TikTok’s most prominent influencers are teenagers who have amazed millions of people from the comfort of their bedrooms.While Instagram’s biggest Influencers are mainly showing off through entirely faked shots, TikTok users expect more honesty.The creators feel more comfortable as they have a bunch of tools to express themselves through funny and engaging videos.TikTok has made it easier than ever before to express yourself through video content for users.According to Forbes, TikTok is even overflowing with niceness. Lots of comments are empowering and encouraging.

10. It’s Not Only About Lip-Sync
Most people don’t understand if TikTok is the same as musical.ly, which was a lip-synchronization app.Here’s what connects both platforms:At the end of 2017, Bytedance (the tech giant behind TikTok) acquired musical.ly for more than one billion U.S. dollars.After doing so, they merged both apps and integrated the features of musical.ly into the TikTok app.So yes, there is a connection to lip-sync.However, TikTok is much more than that. It is based on the same sort of short-form video content, but the scope of videos is much broader.Once you open the app, you can browse through an incredibly wide range of videos.

11. Localized Content
While TikTok is a global app, a key factor for its rise and popularity is localized content.Through local contests, challenges, and hashtags, the app focuses on local trends, which users love.On TikTok, users often browse through the so-called For You Page.If you are familiar with Instagram, you’ll know the Explore Page.That’s what the For you Page is for TikTok.However, the difference is that TikTok users spend much more time on this For You Page than an average user on Instagram.This means that TikTok users don’t only consume content of people they know and follow, but that they browse through videos that are suggested through the TikTok algorithm (which is incredibly smart).On the For You Page, you might see local users as well as businesses. That’s what makes TikTok so exciting for marketing purposes.

12. Effortless Content Creation

While you might feel wholly lost when opening the app for the very first time, TikTok has actually simplified video creation and sharing.Compared to other video platforms, TikTok has taken video creation to the next level.Anyone without prior knowledge in video editing can produce highly engaging content without using any additional app or program.Due to the short formats, the production, as well as the consumption, happens quickly. This makes TikTok very fast-paced, but also addictive as users come back several times per day to check on new content.While you might need great photography, editing, and sometimes even fashion skills to produce incredible pictures on Instagram, a TikTok video that took you a few minutes to produce might go viral and reach thousands (or even millions) of people.That’s what happened with my very first video on the platform.I recorded 1-second shots of my journey from Vienna to Hurghada, without any prior knowledge. In just a few days, the video got over 50,000 views and is still bringing me views and new followers.
