Tim Ferriss, the acclaimed author of the “4-Hour Workweek”, set himself a challenge to become an accelerated learning machine.
Taking on a range of new pursuits as varied as Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, playing the drums, poker, parkour, driving a race car or learning Tagalog — all with no prior experience whatsoever, and with the aim of becoming competitive at each of those.
Not only did he only give himself 5 days to accomplish the feat of being proficient at the above (13 skills in total), but he deliberately put himself under the pressure of incredibly high stakes in the process: such as playing the drums live during a rock band’s show, or raising his own money to compete with pros at the top of their game around a poker table. …
Vietnam and Travel
The trip of a lifetime that opened my eyes to another way of life

This lack of financial understanding isn’t limited to young folk — most of us just don’t know how and where to manage our finances and miss out on the opportunities to maximize our earning potential. …

Apply these 3 steps and claim ownership of your own life.
I was sitting at the edge of my hotel room bed, having woken up just in time to shower, get dressed and hop back on the same old taxi who’d take me to the same old dingy office as the past few months.
The daily routine felt like a never-ending grind, imposed on me by outside circumstances and deadlines.
I felt depressed, stressed and overwhelmed.
It seemed my brain was in a thick fog, preventing me from thinking clearly and making any kind of decision for myself.
I was losing control. It was as if I couldn’t make decisions about my own life, operating on auto-pilot, complying to others’ demands like a well-oiled robot. …

Use this practice to de-clutter your mind before taking on the day.
In our busy 21st-century world, we’re constantly interrupted, our attention pulled in all directions every minute of the day.
