To gauge optimism and pessimism, the researchers set up an experiment involving 22 calves.
Before they started the experiment, they trained the calves to understand which of their choices would lead to a reward
In the training, each calf entered a small pen and found a wall with five holes arranged in a horizontal line, two-and-a-half feet apart
The hole at one end contained milk from a bottle, while the hole at the opposite end contained only an empty bottle and delivered a puff of air in calves’ faces.

In an often-cited study about counterfactuals, Medvec, Madey, and Gilovich (1995) found that bronze medalists appeared happier than silver medalists in television coverage of the 1992 Summer Olympics. Medvec et al. argued that bronze medalists compared themselves to 4th place finishers, whereas silver medalists compared themselves to gold medalists. These counterfactuals were the most salient because they were either qualitatively different (gold vs silver) or categorically different (medal vs no medal) from what actually occurred. Drawing on archival data and experimental studies, we show that Olympic athletes (among others) are more likely to make counterfactual comparisons based on their prior expectations, consistent with decision affect theory. Silver medalists 94 are more likely to be disappointed because their personal expectations are higher than those of bronze medalists.

Companies and countries are recruiting young talented people from different countries and sending young people to universities. Some young people immigrated after they graduated from the university. They compete with the local students. Countries and organizations should put talents at the primary positions. The collapse of loyalty makes employees happy to change their workplace because of the higher income. There are three reasons: first, the change of nature of economy leads to increase in the talents demand and need skills.

Second, the shrinking labor force after the baby-boom causes less supply of skilled workers and the retirement of baby-boomers will cause a shortage of experienced workers. Third, there is also a mismatch between what schools are producing and what companies need.

The question that is frequently asked is whether nuts are good or bad for health. On the one hands, nuts are good as they contain minerals and vitamins as well as carbohydrates, healthy fats and proteins. However, when eating 10 to 12 almonds or walnuts, which is not a handful, the energy density is high and the level of kilojoules and calories is equivalent to two bars of chocolate. It is therefore important for individuals who watch their weight.
The lecture discussed negativity bias. People are more likely to sense the negative or life-threatening events.
