Born to lead? "Success" can be an inherited trait

So… this post has been sitting in my draft box for a while now, just decided to upload it now.

**Disclaimer** This might demotivate you or motivate you.

Here we go:

Study conducted at the University College London (UCL) shows that Genetic differences are significantly associated with the likelihood that people take on managerial responsibilities.

A specific DNA sequence is associated with the tendency for individuals to occupy a leadership position and one’s intellect and moral aptitude.

So how worthy was this study?

Using a large twin sample, the international research team, which included academics from Harvard, NYU, Georgia Institute of Technology, and the University of California at Berkley, estimate that a quarter of the observed variation in leadership behavior between individuals can be explained by genes passed down from their parents. Technically, the researchers have identified a genotype, called rs4950, which is found in “successful” people. They compared genetic samples from thousands of individuals with information about jobs and relationships, finding that in both surveys there was a significant association between rs4950 and leadership.

Believe in destiny•fate? Well maybe, it's the rs4950.

Although the vast scientific community and respectful people from the academia fondly agrees (obviously they have rs4950), I  have a tad regret in accepting this fact study. Because, according to 'science', it is technically impossible difficult for a dumb less-powered DNA to become successful (I know this might sound messed up)… Philosophically however, Any Rand would have a love•hate interest in this, but that's life… well, science.

Street of dreams is an epic story of the power of love and the power of dreams. This is a story of unbridled emotion. A story of Italy; of Hollywood; and of the world. Its classic cinematic style evokes both the grandeur of the golden years of Hollywood, and the passion and emotion of Europe’s greatest cinema icons.

Well that's escalating quickly | #iphoneonly #atl

mind blow (just a bit)

Behavioral mathematics is just magical!

FYI: it is epic when you watch it on fullscreen with your earphone.
