Secrets everyone need to know.

1. Everyone has at least four personalities: 1) the personality they want everyone else to know, 2) the personality they don’t want anyone else to know, 3) the shameful personality they’d rather die than reveal, and 4) the personality they don't understand.

2. The difference between the rich and the poor is their way of thinking. One thinks they cannot be rich until they stumble upon some kind of luck. The other thinks that since they have no luck, they must go and create their own luck.

3. Everyone would be extremely rich, if only they could discover their real value. However, this is almost impossible because everyone has been taught how to sell their time for money.

4. Don't set out to save the world. Set out to get the world to understand you.

5. It is better to die trying to be rich than to be a spectator of people who are on their way to becoming filthy rich. Besides, the air is much cleaner at the top than below.

6. We live in a world where ideas control thoughts, people, and things, therefore those who have better ideas control more people and bigger territories. Unless you have ideas of your own, other people will force you to build their own ideas.

7. The most valuable power on earth is freedom. However, freedom comes at a price and is not easy to achieve. Real freedom is not the power to choose between right or wrong. It is the power to spend the rest of your life working for no one.

8. Most people believe that getting a high-paying 9 to 5 job is the ultimate fulfillment of their dreams. However, getting a high-paying job is the fulfillment of another person's dreams.

9. These days, you can buy almost anything if you have money. However, there are some things you can't buy with money, and these include the ability to see things before they happen.
10. Knowledge in the hands of fools is dangerous. Put knowledge in the proper hands and they will change the world.

11. When you're overthinking, WRITE. When you're underthinking, READ.

12. Every morning you have two choices: continue to sleep with your dreams, OR, wake up and chase your dreams.

13. If you’re not developing mentally, your brain is shrinking fast, and your body is probably wasting away faster than your brain is able to cope with.

14. The worst investment you can make for your children is to give them money. The best investment you can make is to show them how to spend quality time investing in themselves.

15. Stop needing your family and friends to agree with your goals before you pursue them.

16. Entrepreneurship is living a few years of your life like most people won't, so that you can spend the rest of your life like most people can't.

17. Sorry to guys who wanted to hear something about love, but I prefer to remain silent about it today. However, I’ll tell you this: You haven’t found it because you haven’t looked for it in the right places, or you haven’t looked for it hard enough.

Packed up for your life.
1. Gap Affect

When you're practicing a skill,

Take a 20-second break and do nothing.

Micro rest! Then get to what you were doing.

This micro rest will help your:

• Neocortex
• Hippocampus

Undergo a replay of the things you're learning.

It'll 10x your learning & memory.
2. Cyclic Hyperventilation

We face a lot of stressful moments in our life.

We need mental toughness to act boldly in those moments.

How to build that toughness?

Take 25 deep inhales & exhales

Not in the moment of stress.

But moments away from stress.

This will enhance your stress threshold to become more:

• Bold
• Gritty
• Resilient

Your brain will have an increase in:

• Adrenaline
• Epinephrine

That will make you calm and sharp during stress.
3. Holding visual attention

Before you start your work,

Pick any object.

Stare at it for 30-60 seconds.

You're allowed to blink.

Move on to your work after doing this thing.

Your focus gets wildly on the peak.
4. Nasal Breathing

Breathe from the nose.

Get adequate oxygenation in the brain.

Helps in:

• Improving blood flow
• Strong brain metabolism

This will prevent you from getting brain fogged.
5. Cortisol Stimulation

Cortisol is there to wake you up and get alert.

How to stimulate it at the right time?

30 minutes after you wake up, go outside for 5-10 minutes.

This will release cortisol during the early work part of the day.

• Greater energy
• Greater alertness
6. Consistent sleep > Total sleep

Sleep for the same duration every day.

It doesn't matter how much you sleep.

If your ideal sleep duration is 7 hours, then only sleep for 7 hours.

But every day.

Consistency of sleep duration >>> Total sleep duration.
7. Release dopamine early

Get up early.

Don't touch your phone.

• Take some sunlight
• Do some body movements

Get the natural dopamine release early in the morning.

Dopamine release will help you cure depression.
Confirmation Bias in life: Whatever you believe about yourself, you will find evidence to confirm that belief.

Believe you’re worthless—you’ll find evidence to confirm that.

Believe you’re worthy—you’ll find evidence to confirm that.

Belief can create your reality. You choose.
Things that kill your productivity:

- Distractions
- Switching tasks
- Lack of consistency
- Doubting your capabilities
- Not knowing what to work on
- Feeling overwhelmed by the number of tasks
- Not sticking long enough with a project to see progress

What else?
