  1. No such thing as an ego since there's no such thing as gravity. Your ego is just a word which is used to describe your opinion of something. Your ego tells you not to speak to that badass guy to protect you. Your ego tells you to learn billiards to blend in with your friends. Your mind is the overall you. Sometimes the current you take control, sometimes you let the previous you ( your opinions) take control.
  2. Every sentence usually has a subject and a verb or an idea. So you just read the subject and idea and move on. You cannot remember every single word in the book so why bothered with them so much? Just make sure you know the main gist of the sentence and move on. That's how you speedread. Usually you just need to read the first, middle and last word in every sentence.
  3. You save energy by sleeping and resting.
  4. Don't like his writing style. Too much narrative. The 10 Challenges in the book also don't look like real challenges at all.
  5. Acceptance of what? Accept that you can never make it big?
  6. Success is not possible for everyone. Everyone defines 'success' differently and if the person did not attain what he wants, then he may think he is not successful even tho others may think he is. Also, there are too many aspects of life to be successful - Family, love, money, friends, business, travelling, spiritual, life goals,
  7. The Song of Ice and Fire book series is the top fantasy book to read right now!
  8. There's always pros and cons when doing anything even sleeping. In chess, there's the advantage of training of your patience and cognitive thinking, strategising and so on. And the con is of course you may have to spend a lot of time playing and your mind is only focused on chess and not other things which might be more important. I once beat a high sch chess champion 3 times out of 3. No idea how I won. I just flow and beat him. Instantly, I feel amazing and I challenged my cousin to chess next week and I lost. I have come to terms that I am not very interested in chess to pursue it. I prefer to do other things in life.
  9. You have to ask yourself. Are you afraid to take up the new job? Are you competent enough? Is the new job convenient for you? Did you reject the job because the Starbucks job is easier? Are you lazy?
  10. The Bible because God is the only one you can speak to.
  11. You should read books instead of articles because the knowledge gained will be more in depth.
  12. Means you do your homework regularly and drill in the concepts. Like how you teachers said they want to drill in the formulas in your head.
  13. You must must find your purpose in your life, set goals and then work towards them. One of your goals should be to help others. When you help others, they smile and you will smile too.
  14. Read the book: When breath becomes air.
  15. This is a Chinese song and it is sang by a Chinese contestant. My fav song ever.
  16. Happiness comes from within so why expect anything from others?
  17. I am fearful of people sometimes. I do not dare to make sales calls or to talk to people in public. Or to go up on the stage and dance. What are some ways to get rid of fears?
  18. Thanks Guys! These are some wonderful answers. I will definitely keep these in mind.
  19. To stop the subconscious program not execute?
  20. The biggest trap for some 'Gurus' is that they think they are already self actualized and they spew garbage advises online.
  21. No. Einstein did not disprove Newton's theory. Einstein just came up with theories in Quantum Mechanics which is totally different from Classical Newtonian Laws. Two different fields in Physics. It's like 2 different sports: Basketball and Football. The existence of one Sports does not eliminate the existence of the other Sports.
  22. The effect of gravity extends from each object out into space in all directions, and for an infinite distance. However, the strength of the gravitational force reduces quickly with distance. Humans are never aware of the Sun's gravity pulling them, because the pull is so small at the distance between the Earth and Sun. Gravity is not a force. It doesn’t have units of force. It has units of acceleration. Gravity is, therefore, better viewed as an acceleration field. (not terribly different than a magnetic field in many ways). Two objects of certain mass will generally attract each other (except for Magnets with like poles facing each other when magnetic force > Gravitational force). Gravitational forces happen whenever there are two or more objects of mass > 0. Newton's theory of universal gravitation has been proven by Physics to be true. It is called a Theory, not a hypothesis. You learn it in college that The formula is F = (G*M*m)/r^2. F is the force of gravity (measured in Newtons, N) G is the gravitational constant of the universe and is always the same number. M is the mass of one object (measured in kilograms, kg) <usually Earth> m is the mass of the object attracted (by Earth) r is the distance between Earth and the object.
  23. His teachings are similar to other God's teaching. I am Chinese and I grow up in a family practising Buddhism. However, later on I have been exposed to many other religions: Christianity, Islam or Hinduism. But to me, all God's teachings are similar. And all can be referred to as the Supreme Being.
  24. Hi Black Elephant, I am intrigued by what you truly want. So how do you act without worrying, even when realizing the possible consequences? Is it reading more self help books?
