"What men and women need is encouragement. Their natural resisting powers should be strengthened, not weakened…. Instead of always harping on a man’s faults, tell him of his virtues. Try to pull him out of his rut of bad habits. Hold up to him his better self, his REAL self that can dare and do and win out! … The influence of a beautiful, helpful, hopeful character is contagious, and may revolutionize a whole town…. People radiate what is in their minds and in their hearts. If a man feels kindly and obliging, his neighbors will feel that way, too, before long. But if he scolds and scowls and criticizes—his neighbors will return scowl for scowl, and add interest! … When you look for the bad, expecting it, you will get it. When you know you will find the good—you will get that…”

― Eleanor H. Porter, Pollyanna

Lithium, known as the "new white gold," is a mineral widely used in technology, especially in rechargeable electric vehicle batteries; it is also used in medical treatments and in the aerospace industry. Its largest reserves and net production are located in the so-called ""Lithium Triangle,"" comprised of the Antofagasta region in Chile, the Potosí department in Bolivia, and the provinces of Jujuy, Salta, and Catamarca in Argentina. This triangle holds 85% of the world's lithium, but the distribution is not even: Bolivia has the largest net lithium reserves in the world, while Chile has the largest reserves of lithium certified as commercially viable, and Argentina has smaller quantities than the other two countries.

The Malaysia Education Blueprint 2013–2025 is a unity-first, exam-centric system prioritizing Bahasa Malaysia as the primary knowledge language, standardized national assessments (UPSR/PT3/SPM), and teacher-led instruction aimed at closing rural-urban infrastructure gaps by 2025. The 2026-2035 model is a competitiveness-first, digital-pedagogy system prioritizing English as the medium for STEM, abolishing standardized exams in favor of portfolio-based assessment, and shifting teachers to facilitators using AI and adaptive learning tools, launching immediately in 2026.

Anti-personalist movements aim to prevent the return or continued hold on power of a single, prominent political figure. They lack a clear platform or platform, but typically unite diverse opposition groups against this figure. Examples include, but are not limited to: anti-Fujimorism in Peru, which sought to prevent the Fujimori family's return to power; anti-Correaism in Ecuador, which brought together right-wing and left-wing parties to form a governing coalition; and anti-Uribeism in Colombia, which united various opposition parties against former president Álvaro Uribe Vélez.
