i like how you're a youtuber with half a million subscribers yet you've only got 6 likes
I'm a girl and growing up I thought that being a female I am weaker than males. I tried doing stuff that usually males do, just like carrying heavy things or trying to make a dog house or even doing carpentry at home. I sometimes hurt myself but I get things done and I'm happy about it. It's just how you perceive things. You can do everything by just thinking that it could be possible.

That sucks, especially because women are naturally stronger mentally wise and can be as strong if not stronger physically wise. We just have to work harder for the second part.

@araminta no hate, but some of us just simply hate existing and having to face ugly reality everyday. And being lazy will make your life worse, since it's looked down on and will get you nowhere TnT

@araminta it hurts way to much. The weak getting exploited by the strong. Every one of us is causeing so much suffering. I don't want to be part in this madness. Work Hard for what? To make some asshole richer then he already is? To exploit the planet even further? I'm not afraid of Hell because we already live in it!

my brain saw this video
Thank you for this video and provides actionable ideas. So many videos are structured like the study you covered. They don't provide the motivation and the ability to write out the one action sentence that commits us to it.

How to be a masocist
"Steve and Dave use eToro to invest in the financial markets. Steve does research on global investment opportunities, Dave does research on how to become a level 60 wizard. Steve follows the feed for the latest market news, Dave follows the feed for the latest cat videos. Steve has a watchlist for promising investments, Dave has a watchlist too.. So why is Dave just as good an investor as Steve? It's because Dave used eToro's CopyTrader™ to automatically replicate Steve's trading activity. Whenever Steve makes a trade, Dave does too! Trade like a Steve with eToro, the world's leading social trading platform." ~Abraham Lincoln
One of the things I do some time when I'm going on a driving trip is let's say I'm going a hundred or 200 miles say on the way to San Francisco well in my mind I'll pretend I'm driving to Los Angeles which is 500 miles and when I get to San Francisco I say l look Los Angeles I isn't that far after all

Warren Buffett never said the 5/25 Rule. He even admits him and Charlie Munger are not "disciplined enough to approach decision-making in that way"
this is closely related to the Japanese philosophy of Kaizen (small steps towards a major goal)

Tell yourself that you will do it and you will enjoy it, and when you are done you will look at it and say that it is good because it is fruitful and complete. Then, actually do it, enjoy it, see the results of your work, tell yourself it is good and move on. When you see that something is good, it's easier to move on from. When you sleep you convert short term memory into long term memory. Most people with anxiety and depression small obstacles pile onto all the problems they haven't dealt with, haven't moved past, or haven't completed. Or if they did complete it they don't feel good about it because they criticize themselves, or someone else does. Causing their short term memory to convert bad memories into long term memory. But alas, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and work that is done is more beautiful to behold than work allowed to rot and stagnate, which is bad for the body, mind, and spirit. You have to be willing, through sickness and health, through blood sweat and tears to finish the task at hand. It is the first exercise you have to develop commitment and sacrifice, the two main qualities of productivity and success. Raise yourself like your parents never did. And most importantly, keep moving because decay follows.
First you must become, then you will act, then you will receive.
so much yapping. get to the point.
Everyone on the Tour cheats.
I don't agree with: "Things like exercise and diet don't account for 7.6 years in life expectancy."
