self-help

If you went back and fixed all the mistakes you've made, you'd erase yourself.

Financially effective people tend to hold themselves to certain rules about money. I don’t borrow money for anything smaller than a house. I ledger every dollar in or out. I live on 80% of my income and invest the difference.

Fit, energetic people tend to have personal rules about health. I run or walk every day, rain or shine. I fill half my plate with vegetables. I don’t keep junk food in the house.

Productive people keep personal rules about work. I’m always at my desk at seven sharp. I clean out my inbox out every Friday. I don’t use social media before five o’clock.

Eat Stop Eat is a 24 hour fast developed by Brad Pilon and is probably the easiest fast to follow.

You don’t eat for 24 hours for one day a week. And that’s it.

Pick one day of the week you won’t eat on and do it. It’s easy for beginners or for people who don’t want to restrict their eating all week.

Long-term consistency beats short-term intensity.

All of humanity’s problems come from man’s inability to sit quietly in a room alone.

You’re under no obligation to be the same person you were 5 minutes ago.

Here are eight body-language hacks that can be tricky to master but will pay off forever once you do:

1. Mirror the person you're speaking to.
2. Walk with purpose and energy.
3. Maintain good eye contact.
4. Keep your hands visible.
5. Don't fidget, but don't be too stiff.
6. Sit up straight.
7. Work on your handshake.
8. Slow down.

The name, the label, covers the poverty of your inner being; you are petty, shallow, and through identification you hope to escape from your own emptiness. So the name, the country, the idea, become all-important, and for that you are willing to die and to kill.

Promene ne treba očekivati od drugih, niti ih prizivati pred drugima. Sam čovek treba biti promena.

What we want to bear is inversely correlated with what we need to hear in order to learn and to grow.
