For example, let’s return to our example dealing with colored marbles. Say you want to figure out the probability of drawing a white marble (of which there are 11) out of the total pot of marbles (which contains 20). The odds of the event happening is the ratio of the probability that it will occur over the probability that it will not occur. Since there are 11 white and 9 non-white marbles, you’ll write the odds as the ratio 11:9.  The number 11 represents the likelihood of choosing a white marble and the number 9 represents the likelihood of choosing a marble of a different color. So, odds are that you will draw a white marble. Converting odds is pretty simple. First ,break the odds into 2 separate events: the odds of drawing a white marble (11) and the odds of drawing a marble of a different color (9). Add the numbers together to calculate the number of total outcomes. Write this as a probability, with the newly calculated total number of outcomes as the denominator The event that you’ll draw a white marble is 11; the event another color will be drawn is 9. The total number of outcomes is 11 + 9, or 20. You have calculated that there are a total of 20 possibilities and that, essentially, 11 of those outcomes are drawing a white marble. So, the probability of drawing a white marble can now be approached like any other single-event probability calculation. Divide 11 (number of positive outcomes) by 20 (number of total events) to get the probability. So, in our example, the probability of drawing a white marble is 11/20. Divide this out: 11 ÷ 20 = 0.55 or 55%.

One-sentence summary -- Set the odds as a ratio with the positive outcome as a numerator. Add the numbers together to convert the odds to probability. Find the odds as if you were calculating the probability of a single event.

Q: . Being self-aware will allow you to recognize when you are taking on too much or if you need to change something about your goals. Take stock of how things are going for you on a regular basis to determine when something is not working out and might need an adjustment.  For example, if you notice that you have been feeling overwhelmed lately, then you may benefit from cutting back on your workload or taking a short vacation. Be on the lookout for burnout as well. If you start to notice that you feel emotionally or physically exhausted, cynical or detached, ineffective, or like you are not accomplishing anything, then you may be experiencing burnout. The kind of reward will depend on the milestone you've reached and the type of goal you’re pursuing. If you're intent on losing weight, don't reward yourself with an extra-large pizza when you lose a pound. You don't want to reward every little thing, because the rewards will lose their meaning. Rather, focus on rewarding real progress by setting up subgoals and rewarding yourself once you've met those goals. When you accomplish one goal, before you move on to the next one, make sure you take the time to appreciate your accomplishments. Each step usually builds upon the previous. With time, you'll see how your hard work has paid off. This should be a person who knows you well enough to know what might get in your way. They will be helpful in motivating you to make progress on your goals. Sometimes, all you need is someone who is working on the same goals as you. For instance if you’re trying to lose weight, you might try a weight-loss group. You may need to re-prioritize at times. You may realize after a few weeks or months of pursuing a goal that you need more time, sometimes a lot more time. Don't be too hard on yourself when this happens. Be careful not to lose heart when you've reached an obstacle to your goal. This is not a step to be taken lightly. Some goals like losing weight or getting a raise are totally reachable for most people. Other goals, on the other hand, like winning a gold medal, becoming President of the United States, or owning a multi-national corporation may be attainable by only a few people. This is not to say you shouldn't try, but that recognizing when to let a goal go and start something new can be empowering when a goal is no longer attainable. Asking yourself whether your drive to pursue a certain goal is negatively impacting your relationships with people you love can help you determine whether to give up on a goal.
A: Develop your self-awareness Reward yourself to spur motivation. Realize the value of hard work. Find an accountability partner or group. Be realistic. Realize when to give up.

Article: Caramel sometimes keeps its shape until after you stir it. Open the slow cooker and give the caramel a stir with a rubber spatula. If you don't see any lumps, you're all set. If you do see lumps, let the caramel cook longer.  Depending on how many lumps there are, you may have to cook the caramels for another 15 to 30 minutes. You can keep the caramel in the slow cooker for up to 2 hours on a WARM setting. This is great if you're dipping lots of caramel apples or serving it at a party. Be sure to let the caramel cool to room temperature first, however. If you put hot caramel into the fridge, the temperature inside the fridge may rise and cause the food to spoil. Use the caramel within 3 months. You can reheat it using whatever method you want.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Stir the caramel, then let it cook longer, if needed. Pour leftover caramel into a jar, then store it in the fridge.
