10 Benefits of Having Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD)Written by ADD Management Coach Jennifer Koretsky
There is a common misconception in world that having Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) is a bad thing. While ADD-wired brain certainly presents some challenges, it also offers some incredible benefits. The following is a list of characteristics that I consistently see in my clients, friends, and colleagues with ADD. 1. Compassion People with ADD have a tremendous power to connect with other people. But it goes a step further than that. We also have an advanced ability to empathize with others, and to see many different perspectives. 2. Creativity I've never met an ADDer who wasn't creative! Writers, painters, musicians, film makers, designers, sculptors, comedians - list goes on! Artistic talents are abundant. Composers Mozart and Beethoven are believed to have had ADD. 3. Drive When an ADDer is bored with a task, completing it can seem like torture. But give an ADDer an interesting project to work on and watch out! When we want to succeed, and we have necessary tools to do so, there is no stopping us! 4. Problem Solving Ability ADDers thrive on solving problems and puzzles. Give us an interesting problem to solve and we won't be able to drop it until we've found solution! Important historical inventors such as Thomas Edison and Thomas Jefferson are believed to have had ADD. 5. Hyper-Focus The ability to hyper-focus is something that ADDers can use to our advantage. When kept under control and directed towards productive tasks, like accomplishing goals and living dreams, it can be an incredible asset that allows us to get job done, and done well!

Is there any adventure or fun in smoking? Absolutely not! Don’t be fooled by fun packed advertisements of cigarette making companies. There is no “taste”, no “fun” and no “adventure” in smoking cigarettes. These are just slogans of cigarette making companies which are multiplying their profits at cost of precious human lives. The greedy multi-national multi-billion dollar cigarette manufacturers are killing people quietly without being noticed by anyone. According to WHO report, every 6.5 seconds a person in world dies prematurely due to cancer, heart attack, respiratory or some other kind of tobacco related diseases. No doubt, tobacco is fourth most common risk factor for diseases worldwide. If you are a smoker then think seriously for a moment and decide whether you are mentally OK. I very much doubt because you are spending money on purchase of an item which is not only risking your life by unintentionally inviting numerous diseases to attack your body but also risking lives of other people who are forced to inhale second hand smoke, which is more dangerous than smoking. If you smoke inside your house then you also risk life of your spouse and children. Is it a wise decision to keep on smoking?
