https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bx96mx0AeSw Just got back a couple days ago from a weeklong trip to the Dominican Republic. I would’ve updated you sooner, but I’ve had World War III occurring in my stomach since eating some bad airport food 😉 I’m finally starting to feel better so I thought I’d shoot you a blog post. Being that … [Read more…]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MEEO5VrX1Aw You’ve backpacked through Europe, ran five marathons, and know Pi to the 100th digit. You are a one of a kind special snowflake and you’ve tried to share your unique experiences with others. The only problem? Nobody cares! Well Cameron does 😉 but that’s only because I’ve had the same experience as you. … [Read more…]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oOqZPIktEn0 Something almost all of us struggles with is an addiction to complaining. This wouldn’t be so bad if it was the occasional rumbling of something truly horrendous like a hurricane killing hundreds of people. Perhaps in that kind of circumstance complaining about the unfairness of life would even be justified. What I’m talking about … [Read more…]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gU-UYx3oYGI There’s some things we never fail to mention when talking about success: hard work, working intelligently, discipline, and consistency. You’ll hear those things brought up in every conversation you’ll ever have about success. All of them are vitally important in building the life of your dreams. No doubt about it. Something that deserves far … [Read more…]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EK0nZExuSZs Something interesting I’ve noticed is that there’s often a huge discrepancy between what I perceive and what other people perceive even if we’re both making observations on the same external reality. The cliche example of this is the old glass half-full or half-empty debate. If you perceive the glass to be half-full you’re supposedly … [Read more…]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MJTTZeqENqI I’m not dead. Just tired. Last month I wrote a post asking how I could better serve you guys going forward. There were several responses, but something one reader said was to post on a more consistent basis. I implemented a more consistently spread out posting frequency for about a week and then I … [Read more…]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DblIT7zxNmo Freshman! The term brings back memories. Not only do I remember being on the receiving end of many remarks of ill intent as one, but I also remember having the gonads to walk through the seniors’ hallway taunting them as I myself yelled, “Freshman! Freshman!” *clap* *clap* *clap* *clap* *clap” “Freshman! Freshman!” *clap* *clap* … [Read more…]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fXa3toQ7AZc I’m probably not qualified to talk about success. I’m 17 years old. I’m not going to tell you how to build the business of your dreams, or how to walk on water to impress the girl you’ve been fantasizing about. Simply put, I wouldn’t even know where to begin with giving you advice in … [Read more…]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qpgAhakvj5Y I’ll admit it, I was going to write a Robin Williams article. I’ll also admit that I don’t even know who the guy was. I just figured writing an article about his 10 greatest quotes or something of that nature would be easy to write and provide a bunch of search traffic in the … [Read more…]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VwmJ7wPF27s Here I am. Awake. I got up at 5:00 A.M. and now I’m beginning to write you this blog post at 5:15. After my first summer of adopting a regular teenager’s sleep patterns I decided I was going to establish rising early as a habit again. I figured doing so would be good preparation … [Read more…]
