Every year I rediscover a new wisdom from our ancestors. In 2016 I realized explicitly the meaning of " do not believe every angelic smile because some may hide monster paws behind it"
I have learned a lot about American presidential elections and a lot of strange facts and doings behind. Trump as a Putin's puppet, Russian's hacking...!
@ Gamal, WWIII, because of Trump? I hope not. Besides, there are still Congress and the People who are watching him. People can get him into the Office in a wield way, people also can kick him out of Office in a wield way. Just look at what happen to the Korean president right now due to a scandal....with 0-4% approval rate......and bowing out of Office. (see the attached picture for recent huge protest).
Humans are not trustworthy and so never trust any one except for yourself. Only degrees matter! A person who has tons of money can be the king and a persons character has no value! Morales are stupid means of judging people! Love is a deal! Love yourself more than others!
I've learned that there are still many things out there to learn. I've learned to become less self-centered, and appreciate other people's ways of life more.
Thanks for the invitation, its really interesting & very deep question with multidimensional approaches.
In sciences i tried to learn about structural aspects of consciousness and its functional linkages with brain, elementary particles and managemental system in cosmos along different life types & forms.
In worldly matters I observed almost the same as Dear Warshi Mehta said above...... human Stupidity have no limits, but , perhaps its due to the surrounding social environmentcial environment of East.
In spiritual aspects I learn brain is the the actual production house almost about all literature, imagination and reward neural circuits behind it.
In creativity aspects I get learning that I need to learn a lot and much is ready to be learn in cosmos, Perhaps human is relatively just try to put first step in creation at universe. First Wisely planned Dive in a "Blank" Deep Sea of Energies in try to re-order / re-arrange them.
For me 2016 in disappointing vulnerable communities with the obvious weakness of the UN role and the emergence of the evil powers doses not care for humanity.
I learn that I am nothing in contrast to the expanding Universe. The other thing, Whatever we got from this world, we will have to leave them for the incoming generation. The year 2016, was really a different year for me, it was interesting and amazing, It was interesting in the first six months, my RG scores were increasing and in the last six months of the year, RG scores have been decreasing. and currently reaching to 7.43 from 7.65.
I have learned to lower my expectations for many reasons. Result of such approach is more patience! Who knows, maybe I become wiser, as I am getting older!
Dear @Aqleem, RG score is nothing but the metrics of activity of RG member at this particular network!
The day went and will not come back never, and day you're live in it, dedication in your business and your plans for your future, and your waiting a new day for correction the mistakes of yesterday and rectify your route
"Learned" is perhaps not the right word, better is "realized". That a distinction must be made between a real liver situation and a felt life situation and that fake news and populism can become overwhelming to reality and the factual situation.
When one then come to your senses, it is usually too late.
I've learned that you can do terrible things (Aleppo), and no one is beyond verbal protests do not care, I have learned that wins the election he who shouts louder and more lies, and that people vote not always understand the consequences of their choices (Brexit).
I've learned that ethics and politics are two completely different spheres, a year ago I thought naively that have several points of contact, I learned, too, that the law may have a retroactive effect, contrary to the classical Latin maxim.
I learned that there really is getting warmer, and that it will not be this year the snow at Christmas.
Fully realized that Allah will not let you down as long as you sought and did what you have to do. I learned to be more patience, compassionate and humble
With regard to the 2016 US election I learned that voters may lie about their voting behavior when asked during an opinion poll. Whereas a percentage of voters may have always lied, this seems to have not previously occurred on such a large scale. We should ask why people prefer lying about their vote, while thinking that their vote represent a right decision.
It is nice to retrospect our year behind, i had more from my friends - love, attention and care. Some joint publications and good vibe. God took care of me very well in all fronts.
The 2015 was annus horribilis for me objectively due to ill health. I would say the same for 2016, but objectively it was much better year. I learned how to make difficult decisions fast, gained some more maturity in line with my age, got new friends and basically learned a lot about the life. Eventually I moved from Croatia to live in Germany and I am very happy for that. So, I would value 2016 as a good year. And also, I learned a lot of new things in regards to my scientific work.
Your question "What did you learn in 2016?" is a good question and need to write many books to answer. the most important things that i had leaned are:
1- RG community always support my knowledge daily.
2- There are many negative peoples down vote the answer without any reasons.
3- We can fined many closed friends help us on RG.
I learnt a lot about patience, perseverance and also about entrepreneurship. I want to make start up next year based what I've researched before. 2016 is an amazing year I think.
Achieved many things. Was awarded with the PhD in May. Started holding many major posts in college committees. Voted UP in RG more times than voted DOWN. Got many more friends in RG. 3 papers added to RG and many more ......Thanks all of you.
The most important thing is the real meaning of the next words; FAIL, END and NO, Please see the attached Pic., it is really fantastic and amazing in 2016.
The most beautiful thing about this question is that all the answers are correct
This year I learned what I like about people
As Mario Benedetti said
The people who cultivate their dreams until those dreams seize their own reality. I like people with the ability to take on the consequences of their actions, people who risk the uncertainty to go after a dream.
The people who are just with their people and with themselves, the people who thanks the new day, the good things that exist in their lives, that lives every hour with good spirit giving the best of themselves, grateful to be alive, to be able to give Smiles, to offer their hands and to help generously without expecting anything in return.
My Serbia is at the refugee route over two years, and I have realized that the refugee crisis on the rise. It is a big problem nowadays, a world problem!
I learned that I must make more of all the social media tools to remain engaged with the changes in society. The remaining things I learned, on a daily basis, are far too numerous to list. As long as I continue to learn I will be doing something right.
Dear Radostina Alexandrova, Thanks, for sharing interesting question,
Actually, life is a geat teacher, every day teaches us new lessons and experience, so I learned from 2016 so much, for instance: to be more modest, humble, more open to new challenges, never give up, work harder, believe that I can make a change even small change.
It is the question of learning but it is the question of recalling the past & in this line we have to move towards 2016 in the line with the development we have planned .
Writing is my hobby in the year of 2016 i have planned my selection of subject which may help to change or to re think in the environment .
2016 as a part of my hobbies in the Science of Astrology i wish to think regarding the movement of slow moving planets especially JUPITER,SATURN , & RAHU (DRAGON OF HEAD) & in which manner they are to play the part with the nature in the form of Earth quakes ,Cyclones,Heavy Rain ,including Snow fall with certainly give a disturbing phase to the sufferers .
Besides due to the destiny of human beings they suffer due to the political disturbance ,terrorism , accident ,Planes clashes .Whether we like it or not nature is OMNI POTENT & destiny for human beings to take action due to the destiny phase of their journey .
For 2017 for my academic interest if i receive necessary atmosphere of my study i may review for 2017 also
What we sow is that we reap, so lets sow positivism.
Experience is a life long learning, every attempt polishes the earlier one. In all good terms wish 2017 be better than 2016, with the world prevailing upon peace and prosperity.
What did I learn this year?…the converse list would be shorter! I learned everything, both good and bad. I found that there is a new way to define quantum paradox, and discovered the work of Mayants (paper available); I believe I may have a clear line on the processes behind ‘psychical’ phenomenon (which are just physics), and so, discovered that gravity does not move at light speed in any way in support of my earlier ideas (papers available); I found Santilli’s most fascinating redefinition of quantum and relativistic theory and quantum chemistry, which has likely ended pollution and energy problems; I found that absolutely no one cares, and we will all die of pollution anyway, never mind that the experiments and technology work (ask for amazing science); I discovered the likely painful deception and massive crime against humanity which is cancer and its cure; I discovered the ethical basis within man, down to the neuroscience and genetics; I found how we are all ruined under the social control which extends to corrupt these sources and that the situation is utterly hopeless outside of my own sphere, even to know this; I found that science is blind and crooked, to such an awful extent, the history so damn multitudinous in its examples of horror and intentional blindness, that I wrote a book https://www.researchgate.net/publication/307508001_Beyond_the_Veil ; I found new friends of the highest quality, and learned a great deal from them (Thanks Jeremy and Ruggero); I discovered how to change personality even after severe sexual/physical abuse and redistribute energetic cathexes without handling unconscious content directly; I discovered that I will not be able to advance these ideas, as they are all unacceptable within this society; I saw how there is no hope for mankind, so long as he believes the myth of authority; I found how to remove guilt from the human animal, and know this is also, is ‘unacceptable’; I discovered that the government of the United States is corrupt from head to toe, just as all the others, and holds only destruction and crushing greed over the head of mankind, and that much of the terrorism is in fact orchestrated by the US; I found myself unable to feel any connection or even less, any pride in my country; I found a new way to approach medical practice using quantum information to replace drugs https://www.researchgate.net/publication/305343138_Quantum_Information_Medicine_Bit_as_It-The_Future_Direction_of_Medical_Science_Antimicrobial_and_Other_Potential_Nontoxic_Treatments?ev=prf_pub ; I got a small grant to advance the work; I discovered new science with a new molecular bond, which all claim does not exist, but most assuredly does!; I deduced a new treatment for sexual dysfunction; I deduced new treatments for Parkinson’s and neurosis https://www.researchgate.net/publication/295918623_Homeostatic_Conductance_and_Parasympathetic_Basis_Alteration_Two_Alternative_Approaches_to_Deep_Brain_Stimulation_in_Parkinson%27s_Obsessive_Compulsive_Disorder_and_Depression?ev=prf_pub ; I have changed my own psyche, and found the energy of a young man at 53, and again, will not be able to even discuss half of the new ideas, as they are ‘unacceptable’; I have discovered for myself, a new thing: happiness. Really, it was one hell of a year! Be well my friends. Life is a banquet, a plethora of delights, puzzles, and poisons. Let us rejoice, and consume wisely.

A scientist can do one swarm of a work that cant finish all in a short time; but fewer scientists can do all swarms of a problem that they may finish in a very short time...
My short previous answer was really short and it seems that I have not been understood. Here is an article that explain that point of view which I was realized in 2016. Dear @Radostina, you do live in Bulgaria, what do you think about this?
Thus far in the research, it’s been established that an intense New Cold War competition is taking place in the Balkans between the unipolar and multipolar worlds, with the latter vehemently working to bring their transnational connective projects to the region, whereas the former is ready to do whatever it takes to stop them. This situational context sets the stage for investigating the socio-political vulnerabilities of each of the Balkan states prior to commencing a detailed examination of their most probable Hybrid War scenarios...
We have seen those war-caused flux of refugees--adults and children-- running for their lives. Some of the images were heart-broken. We should treasure the peaceful time we have every minute.
