art
Learn the art of the pitch and of messaging.
new-year years class
The problem with New Year's resolutions - and resolutions to 'get in better shape' in general, which are very amorphous - is that people try to adopt too many behavioral changes at once. It doesn't work. I don't care if you're a world-class CEO - you'll quit.
thinking our-generation self
Food became for me a way of becoming self-sufficient with my hands, to regain manual literacy, which I think has been lost on our generation and certainly younger generations. Very few people can actually make things with their hands and do things with their hands.
hope work land
I've seen the promised land, and there is good news. You can have it all.
thinking people worry
Be bold and don't worry about what people think. They don't do it that often anyway.
fun work dollars
Fun things happen when you earn dollars, live on pesos, and compensate in rupees.
limits
The only rules and limits are those we set for ourselves
children work three
The benefits of becoming fluent in a foreign tongue are as underestimated as the difficulty is overestimated. Thousands of theoretical linguists will disagree, but I know from research and personal experimentation with more than a dozen languages that (1) adults can learn languages much faster than children when constant 9-5 work is removed and that (2) it is possible to become conversationally fluent in any language in six months or less. At four hours per day, six months can be whittled down to less than three months.
work getting-what-you-want spheres
There is a direct correlation between am increased sphere of comfort and getting what you want.
work input useless
Most inputs are useless and time is wasted in proportion to the amount that is available.
self house trying
The first thing I would do for anyone who's trying to lose body fat, for instance, would be to remove foods from the house that he or she would consume during lapses of self-control.
government support looks
If you look at the purported dangers of salt or fat, there is no consensus of support in scientific literature. So I would ask first: 'Is it possible to have an informed government that actually follows the science?' From what I've seen, it's not likely.
self creating discipline
I value self-discipline, but creating systems that make it next to impossible to misbehave is more reliable than self-control.
entrepreneur mets communicators
The best entrepreneurs I've ever met are all good communicators. It's perhaps one of the very few unifying factors.
