  1. Have abundant sleep. Easy and powerful. There is a well researched, strong correlation between the stages of dreaming in sleep (REM stage) and creativity, promoting the later in novel ways.
  2. No is not, it is one of the few, if not the only, harmless supplementation. It is found in meat, eggs. I don't even use it every day to get it's benefits. But it is just a single component out of many, and not the most important for sure. Dig into it, you have Google.
  3. I am quite possitive that's not the full story. @jacknine119 As a skinny guy myself, I can tell you you can gain a decent strength level which consequently makes daily, mundane activities very easy going. You want to gain strength, not just weight. Also live up to your genetics. There's a lot of strength to gain before you actually grow bigger. You can supplement with creatine, which is a blessing if you use it. You definetely need to eat good food every day. The body is quite adaptative, so no big secrets here. If a single pull-up is your maximun rep, then start from there.
  4. First of all, I would like to see examples of yellow comunities. Better yet, I am drawn to explore how a tribe ascends trough the spiral, the inner process and more specifically what insights are being recognized so that it shapes the modus operandi. As of how I want to study Spiral Dinamics, I intend to read and constantly evaluate the community/society I am part of. Like an anthropologist would do. It's not the same to sit and watch a landscape, versus sit and watch a landscape after you've readed a book about the ecosystem of the place by someone who studied it.
  5. You could easily be part of Lollapalooza's line up if you add some bass and some drums. Production and sound is flawless, and the voice is great. I say this but have in mind I listen bands like Car Bomb, so it's not my cup of tea.
  6. I want to add, it's a good practice to contemplate why you want to read books, or what are you interested in, so that after years of reading you'll gain a better understanding of exactly that which you contemplated about. Sort of like creating a "Life purpose" but of the topic of reading, or I should say finding your "Reading purpose". Also, a good book speaks for itself.
  7. @Kalki Avatar Most of the time we treat other countries as a generalization of ours, while the differences are completely remarkable. Said that, I find attractive the idea to change countries and spend some years on each, just to fully grasp what every culture is about.
  8. You can learn to play piano every day for half an hour and be a master after 3-4 years. But you fail to see this.
  9. Any knowledge closest to Love you can be certain is ultimate. So "awaken and you will find out" is not foolish at all. Also is very sketchy to expect someone answers everything for you as you want. If you don't think for yourself then you're cooked.
  10. I shall share my technique: There is a library in my city where it is allowed to binge read every single book in the store. And it is not just a library, it probably ranks in the Top 5 of latam. So it is pretty big, with tons of books. The fact that you can read freely means it is ok to grab a bunch of top seller books (for example, Grenee's books, finantial book's, you name it) and then go to the reading sector and check them out. This is the only way you can know a book is good or not, by reading it (duh). But of course this way is better than risking buying books you haven't checked out.
  11. Botton line: doesn't matter where you live, just don't have a victim mentality. The only real problems I see the USA have, as someone that doesn't live there, is that it is too materialistic. I don't see racism being too much of a problem nowadays, you may have a trace here and there, but most states have it very well checked
  12. And that's why a lot of indians leave the country. Just like venezuelans
  13. That should not be the real problem. China is growing a lot in terms of quality of life, they are kinda the futuristic mecca and too much people live there
  14. I've been contemplating recently, or just having it crossing my mind, that the hereditary preassure of those before us is just unavoidable. I am talking of the collective as well as the individual. If those before you just wasted their life and lived destructing then chances are next generations won't have a bright future. I will try not to make it too black and white though.
  15. Definitely report back haha
  16. This is a good topic. I personally find it interesting since I don't live in a first world country, neither in a dangerous country of the middle east. So we don't have wars and fear of terrorism but we cannot earn money as easily as in USA, for example, wich makes life harder. The problem is, you cannot understand so easily the perspective of someone living in a first world country and viceversa. The amount of stress that you live by is just huge. I am not questioning your capabilities, is just that it is obvious that moving to a decent country changes the whole story, more so that you can grasp. Nevertheless you can work it out from where you live, but to an extend. Because if you live among a caothic culture it will unfortunatelly prevent you to make the best out of the resources that we nowdays have, you will barely make any progress even having the tools.
  17. More like "discovering who I really am" bodily expression. Sehr gut!
  18. What do you mean?
  19. It is very common to see facets of inteligence that appears out of the blue at 25 or so, like the pleasure of mathematics. We are pretty unpredictable.
  20. As for the doctor or other professionals, I understand it would be foolish to avoid them.
  21. You can, first of all, study 30min to 1 hour every day which I asume you're not doing. Because is all the time you need to be at least OK. If you are putting the time and you still struggle, then I don't know what is it. Then you may want to give up one or two asignatures, which may seem counterintuitive. But as you may realize, stress wrecks your attempts at progressing in anything. It may alleviate your back enough so you can focus and advance in the other ones. Think of more strategies, it really sucks to invest your money in education and not geting at least some knowledge.
  22. Well, I do not have the direct experience of your collegue unlike you, but it is definetely possible that some institutions just suck, i.e, they have a really poor methodological guidance with their students. And that makes all the diference. It may not be your case. But if it is, then changing to a better collegue could mean you are able to skyrocket your understanding. Then other questions arise, like, Do you maintain a daily study routine? Does the subject that you're trying to study really matters to you? Do you understand studying is hard? Today a lot of people get diagnosed with ADHD, which looks sus to me, kinda like a cheap diagnostic. I could be wrong. You can teach a monkey a lot of stuff, and it only depends on the ability of the teachers.
