The 50/50 mindset: How to perform at your best

Ever noticed how when you are passionate and motivated about a particular task, time seems to fly and you tend to do your very best work? What happens when your boss/parent/teacher asks you to perform a task that you not only don’t care about, but you know is a complete waste of your time?

There was an incident back in November, in which a 12 year old with a replica hand gun was shot and killed by police.
