Good relationships keep us healthier

The Harvard Study of adult Development may be the longest study of adult life that’s ever been done. The directors of this study that have reached to 75 years long tracked the lives of 724 teenagers. They asked about their work, health and their life in general along the years. Two groups of men were involved in the study. The first group started with Harvard college students, when in the other hand they followed boys from Boston’s poorest neighborhoods which is the second group.

 These kinds of studies are rare, limited and most of them fall apart within few years because too many people drop out of the study, the funding of the research dries out or the people involved in it die. Fortunately, this study survived. Also, about 60 of the 724 men are still alive and most of them in their 90s. First, those teenagers were interviewed and were giving a medical exam. They went to their homes and they talked with their parents.

 After a decade, the teenagers grew into adults who entered different ways and jobs. Some of them were factory workers, lawyers, bricklayer, doctors and one president of the United States. “The founders of this study would never in their wildest dreams have imagined that I would be standing here today, 75 years later, telling you that the study continues...also, we don’t just send them questionnaire. We get their medical records, we draw their blood, we scan their brains and talk to their children.” Robert-the fourth director of the Study-Said.

  The clearest message that they get from the 75-years study is that good relationships keep us happier and healthier. Period. They Knew that social connections are really good for us, and that loneliness kills. It turns out that people who are more socially connected to family, friend and community are happier, they’re physically healthier and they live longer than people who are less connected.

They also knew that you can be lonely in crowd and you can be lonely in a marriage. So, the second lesson is the quality of the relationships you have and not the quantity. Moreover, being in securely attached relationship to another person in your 80s is protective.

 So, what might be leaning in to relationships even look like? Well, the possibilities are endless. It might be something as simple as doing a new thing with someone like: long walks, date nights, reaching out to that family member who you haven’t spoken to in years or going out of your comfort zone. Robert ended his talk by a quote he liked from Mark Twain, which said "there isn’t time, so brief is life, for bickering, apologies, heartburning, calling to account. There is only time for loving, and but an instant, so to speak, for that.”

A primitive beginning led to a competitive sport

 --------------------------------------------------------------------------

For at least 3,000 years, the history of sports goes back. In the beginning, sports were only including war planning or practicing as a hunter. That explains why so many early games included throwing spears, stakes, and rocks, and sparring with opponents one-on-one.

In 760 BC the first ancient Olympic Games was recorded, there was only one event, a footrace. Other sports such as wrestling, boxing, equestrian, discus, javelin, and jumping were included in later Games. After many years, the sports in the Olympic games were developed.

The Ancient Greeks brought several sports to the world with the Olympic Games in 776 BC, which featured competitions such as foot and chariot races, boxing, jumping, and discus and javelin throwing. Much of today's sports evolved only in their present form in the 19th and 20th centuries, although many derive their origins from more primitive sports and pastimes of ancient times.

Association football (soccer), the most common sport played around the world today, has its roots in China. There is evidence in China that military forces played a game, originally called Tsu Chu, around the 2nd and 3rd centuries BC (Han Dynasty). This game involved kicking a leather ball filled with fur into a small pit, like Soccer.

Prior to 1870, activities for women were recreational rather than competitive and, being informal and without rules. Women started to shape clubs in the late 1800s and early 1900s that were athletic in nature. As they became more interested in organized sports, efforts to restrict women's sports activities persisted, but these efforts did not cause any results.

Nowadays, Sports competitions are used as a form of promotion and marketing of sports products. Teams and even individual players display logos on jerseys at sporting events and feature in TV ads. Also if an event is funded by a big corporation, it is much more likely to receive prime time TV coverage, bringing in higher advertising sales and exposing more viewers to the sport. This would draw more supporters, increase the competitiveness of local sports clubs, which in turn benefits the local economy.

Kids can teach us a lot

-----------------------------------------------------

Kids are the joy of life. They innocent this complicated world but so creative minded if we look closer. Yeyoon Kim is a teacher working in a Kindergarten. She is surprised by how her kids in the kindergarten act differently in every situation and environment. Also, she learned from them about being asked for help.

One of the kids that impressed Yeyoon was "Sam". Sam’s behaviors weren’t like a young child. He was independent and doing much things on his own like: Tying his own shoelaces and others shoelaces too. He didn’t ask for help, but he was the one that his classmates went to for help and if his teacher gave him a morning hug he will act creepy with rolling his eyes but in the same time he will always stand there and wait for his hug to come.

Yeyoon noticed something special while dealing with kinds. Oftentimes when kids fall, they don’t start crying immediately. They would stand up, puzzled, as if trying to make up their mind.  They ask their slaves, "what just happened?" "Is this a big enough deal for me to cry? Does this hurt? What's going on?". Then they will look to someone they love and trust and next they will be burst out in tears. She said: "When I noticed this, I wanted it to happen to me, because to me, that meant that you had earned a kids trust and had proven that you're capable to help them with anything".

One day the kids were playing and Yeyoon was busy with some stuff. Then she heard a kid yell that Sam fell down. She went out to check out Sam. He looked at her with an eyes full of tears and a tremble lips. She knows in that moment that it’s going to happen. He ran toward her and she gave him a big hug to calm down. It was an odd moment for Yeyoon. She said that she didn’t feel like she was helping Sam, but rather he was giving her this gift and the opportunity to help him. 

Being asked for help is a privilege: a gift for you to do something for someone, especially when it’s coming from their place of vulnerability. Yeyoon went thought two though years in her life. She was in shock. There was no other way of saying it other than she needed help and some type of therapy. She didn’t know how to fix her situation. She was going through a-lot in  her mind. Until finally, her friends hold her shoulders and force her to ask for help.

 “We all want to be the best Sam in life: to be strong, independent and self reliant, but we don’t always have to be. So let’s start asking for help more often, because helping Sam is a privilege and a gift.”
