So You Want Your Child/Student to become Famous?

Why?

• - To realize your own frustrated ambitions?
• - To help them realize theirs?
• - Because it is a side-effect of helping them to achieve other goals?
• - Famous people are not, on average, happier than other people.
• - Nor do they necessarily contribute more to society.

Fame Depends on Interests

• Outstanding actors, athletes, musicians and writers become famous
• Outstanding dentists, accountants and undertakers do not
• with Doc Holliday as the exception that proves the rule

How To Become a Surgeon

When you hear about surgery do you think of 'Greys Anatomy'? 'Holby City'? In reality surgery is not always so glamorous or so dramatic (but is definitely as exciting!) A surgeon will divide their time between several key functions:

Ward rounds

A daily visit to check on the state and progress of each of the patients in their care, liaising with nursing staff and junior doctors.

The operating theatre

Working on pre-booked elected operations and/or emergency cases as part of a team which will include other surgeons, anesthetists, technicians, nurses, administrators all working together to ensure the best possible outcome for the patient.

How To Become a Teacher

Some teachers say they teach out of a desire to help children learn and grow and to make a contribution to society. Others say they have a sense of commitment to the community or the nation, an intellectual fascination with a particular discipline (e.g., mathematics or history), or they have been inspired by one of their own teachers. Who was your favorite teacher? Was it Ms. Perez who made mathematics fun and showed you why it was important? Or maybe it was Mr. Anderson who challenged you to do your best. Perhaps you were a student with special needs and a special education teacher made a difference in your life.

Why did you like these teachers? What was it about how they reached you, what they expected of you, what classroom atmosphere or learning experience they created that made them so memorable? They cared about you, they believed in you, they wanted you to learn, and they challenged you to learn. Now it can be your turn to inspire the next generation of students.

How to become a hacker?

Why Be a Hacker?

Hacking has shown up in kitchens as chefs use liquid nitrogen as the cooling agent to make perfect ice cream or when they hack food to make tomato fries with potato sauce as the ketchup or just need to make something they don't have the right equipment for...

Chemists have been hacking elements and compounds for centuries. By nature molecules are finicky when it comes to how they behave in different environments (hot weather, cold weather, on mountains, or deep beneath the ocean), so chemists need to deeply understand the properties of the chemicals they have, so they can try to hack together the one they need. Nowhere is this more evident than in the invention of new pharmaceuticals, where hundreds of plants in a region are studied for their chemical properties from roots to fruits, and extracted and combined with others to make new medicines. Then they try again and again, sometimes for years, to get the combinations right and make it do what they want it to do.

How to become anorexic fast and easy

What exactly is anorexia?

It's a medical condition and its full name is anorexia nervosa. People with anorexia try not to eat and they lose a lot of weight. They often feel fat even when they are thin. They use other ways of staying thin too, like taking laxative tablets (which make you go to the toilet more often) or by doing too much exercise. Anorexia is serious.

CBD has been shown to lower anxiety, which is highly beneficial for people with anorexia nervosa. The nervosa part of the name actually refers to the nervous and anxious nature of people suffering from this condition. CBD oils with high levels of CBD are going to be of benefit here. More

Anorexics can become very weak and die. About 20% of anorexics don't live more than twenty years after anorexia starts and only 60% of anorexics get better completely.

How to become a physical therapist

What does a Physical Therapist do?

Physical therapists help patients restore function, improve mobility, relieve pain, and prevent physical disabilities. PTs work closely with patients to restore, maintain, and promote fitness and health. Patients include people who have been in accidents as well as those with disabling conditions such as stroke, arthritis, and head injuries.

Physical therapists work with a patient’s medical history and then test and measure their strength, range of motion, balance and coordination, muscle performance, and motor function. They also help determine if the person can function independently. Their main goal is to develop a treatment plan that will help the patient improve function, prevent further injury, and reach their personal goals. As treatment progresses, the PT conducts periodic examinations, tracks the patient’s progress, keeps careful case notes, and modifies the treatment as needed. Physical therapists work in a variety of settings including hospitals, clinics, and private offices. Some also treat patients on-site in their homes, hospital and nursing home rooms, and schools.

How to become a pilot?

Learning to fly is not as hard as you might think. In fact, each year thousands of people from all walks of life learn to fly. Today there are more than 650,000 active pilots in the United States. Most of these pilots hold a private pilot's certificate, which is a student pilot's first goal.

Some pilots continue their training to obtain an instrument rating or additional certificates, such as commercial pilot, flight instructor, or airline transport pilot. However, many pilots are content with a private pilot certificate, which permits them to fly themselves and non-paying passengers virtually anywhere in good weather. Another alternative is a recreational pilot certificate, which allows a pilot to fly within fifty nautical miles of the airport at which he or she received ground school and flight instruction.
