10 Laws to live by for become successful

1.- STOP looking for shortcuts; they don’t exist.

I still haven’t found it yet. There’s no success in life without hard work.

2.- STOP dreaming; start planning.

Planning reveals the path from dream to reality.

3.- Stop waiting to get started; today is the day.

I’ve waited years for the perfect moment to come. It never does. Warning! Waiting is also an excuse. Excuses are endless.

4.- Stop waiting for situations to change; YOU change them.

I used to be trapped by a “victim” mentality, “Everything is against me. It’s so difficult!” True, it can get tough, but know that small, tiny steps of progress accumulate over time.

5.- Stop being a people pleaser; it’s impossible to make everyone happy.

Take a pause and ask yourself, “What it is that YOU want?” I said YOU, not your mom or your friends, YOU!

6.- Stop trying to fit in; stand out.

Be honest. If you have to change your dreams, values, and belief system to fit in somewhere, you’re in the wrong place! Get out, get a life!

7.- Stop blaming others; be accountable.

I always had someone to blame for my circumstances. Get over it. Honestly, nobody cares…

8.- Stop trying to correct your weaknesses; embrace your strengths.

School made me focus on my weaknesses and NEVER celebrated my strengths. I grew up insecure and feeling less than the “group.” What a torture!

Perfecting my strengths makes me stand out. When we try to correct our weaknesses, the best we will ever achieve is mediocrity. Silly!

9.- Stop dwelling on your failures; learn and move on.

We will all fail. It’s part of life, our culture, including our educational system which bullies failing.

Get up, LEARN from such priceless experience, shake off the nonsense and move on!

10.- Stop being distracted; own your attention.

Whoever controls the mind, controls the man.

Are YOU in control?

There Are Two Ways to Read — One Is Useless

Reading is telepathy, and a book is the most powerful technology invented. Homer, Shakespeare, Voltaire, Flaubert, Tolstoy, Woolf, Hemingway — these are names without a living body. We can’t talk to them, nor touch them, but their thoughts are immortalized through the written word. Aristotle’s logic, Kepler’s astronomy, Newton’s physics, Darwin’s biology, Wittgenstein's philosophy — these are memes without living originators. They no longer champion their ideas, and yet, we still talk about them. Without books, humans would never have escaped the boundaries of space and time. Each new generation would have had to learn the realities of life for themselves rather having the luxury to build on the past; knowledge accumulation would have quickly dimmed towards an asymptote. Everything that we value in the modern world has its root in invention of writing. Everything that we have accomplished has come from reading. Even on an individual level, one of the most effective way...

How can you improve your life?

The 18 unconventional ways to elevate your consciousness, expand your influence and ultimately improve your life. Have sex. There's something unflinchingly "human” about a sexual experience. It builds something within you that connects deeply to nature. A confidence is built. From a person who went stretches- sometimes over a year- without having sex due to deeply rooted sexual anxieties (fear of climaxing too quick, that I wasn't “good enough” in bed, distaste of one-night-encounters etc) rediscovering the feeling you get in your life while being sexually active has really made a positive impact. Introduce yourself to anyone and everyone. Human beings are social creatures by nature. With that in mind, it is imperative to make your presence known in any room you're in. Don't you hate that feeling when you're at a party or gathering, you go there with a friend and the friend doesn't introduce you to anyone? It sucks. Extreme responsibility is needed on y...

I'm 25 years old and I want to become a millionaire by 35. How do I do this?

A bit of simple advice that works for any age. Copy what millionaires do. I’ve studied over 40 millionaires and finally found out their secret to wealth. It took me a long time to piece together the puzzle, but I’ve finally figured it out. Here’s the golden question: What do Elon Musk, Warren Buffet, Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Mark Cuban, and Tonny Robbins have in common? Besides the mulah...they all read . Yep - reading. Don’t believe me? Let one of the most successful and admired entrepreneurs tell you... Musk built four multibillion-dollar companies by his mid-40s -- in four separate fields (energy, software, transportation and aerospace). How is that possible? Because he reads. SpaceX co-founder, Jim Cantrell, mentions Elon Musk’s passion for reading, He'd been borrowing all my college textbooks on rocketry and propulsion. You know, whenever anybody asks Elon how he learned to build rockets, he says, 'I read books.' Well, it's true. [...
