A head full of ideas isn't healthy - do something about it

Progress over perfection.

You’ll never be perfect at anything in life. They’ll always be more you feel like you need to do and when you try to perfect everything, not much gets done. Who cares if it isn’t to the best standard just yet, at least your trying. Aim for progress…

The Danish writer Hans Christian Andersen, beloved for his fairy tales, including “The Little Mermaid” and “The Emperor’s New Clothes,” perhaps put it best:

“Just living is not enough. One must have sunshine, freedom, and a little flower”

Extending lifespan at the expense of quality of life makes little sense. It’s easier (and lazier) to focus on subtraction and avoidance, but a life of constant denial is not a life of freedom. The greatest rewards come from a good life, not just a long life.

This probably includes a bit of red wine and a few cheesecakes.

You would give up your dreams in order to escape your nightmares and I would not. I think it’s a bad bargain.

Motivation comes and goes. It’s like a wave, sometimes high, sometimes low.

But discipline is steady. It doesn’t waver, no matter the day.

Motivation is the spark. Discipline is the fuel that keeps the fire burning.

When motivation fades, discipline takes over.

Stay disciplined, and you’ll achieve greatness.

Khaled Hosseini wrote The Kite Runner in the early mornings before working as a full-time doctor. Paul Levesque often works out at midnight. If it’s truly important, schedule it. As Paul might ask you, “Is that a dream or a goal?” If it isn’t on the calendar, it isn’t real.

The “bike-shed” effect, originally described by C. Northcote Parkinson.

To illustrate this phenomenon, let’s compare a conversation about building a nuclear power plant with building a bike shed.

Most people rightly assume that they know nothing about something as complex as a nuclear power plant and so won’t voice an opinion. Most people wrongly assume, however, that they know something about building a bike shed and will argue until the cows come home about every detail down to paint color.

Everyone you meet (every male, at least) will have a strong opinion about how you should train and eat. For the next two to four weeks, cultivate selective ignorance and refuse to have bike-shed discussions with others.

Friends, foes, colleagues, and well-intentioned folks of all stripes will offer distracting and counterproductive additions and alternatives.

Nod, thank them kindly, and step away to do what you’ve planned. Nothing more and nothing different.

The strategy required to find a great opportunity (lots of saying yes and exploring widely) is different from the strategy required to make the most of a great opportunity (lots of saying no and remaining focused).

Organized crime outfits are good at bribing airline employees for flight manifests (lists of passengers).

They then Google each name, create a list of apparent high-value targets, and arrive early to look for the right names on limo driver signs. They pay or threaten the actual limo drivers, who leave and are replaced.

This is why I use pseudonyms for any car service pickups around the world. By using a made-up name for your car reservation, if you see a placard with your real name on it, you know it’s a set-up.

If you become successful—or simply appear successful on the Internet—and travel a lot overseas, this is not paranoia.

A question to think about:

What percent of your expenses goes toward memories?

@ebookscafe #Books #Lifeadvice

The superheroes you have in your mind are nearly all walking flaws who’ve maximized 1 or 2 strengths. Humans are imperfect creatures. You don’t “succeed” because you have no weaknesses; you succeed because you find your unique strengths and focus on developing habits around them.

"Highly focused people do not leave their options open. They select their priorities and are comfortable ignoring the rest. If you commit to nothing, you’ll be distracted by everything."
