Being creative means CREATING. Creating means ACTUALLY CREATING REALITY. “Creative ideas” are only as creative as much they create reality, IMPACT reality. Yes, a purely theoretical idea CAN be powerfully creative. Even conceived just in theory — it can have practical implications — which will be immediately recognised by the world and …

When “Too Good” Is Too Much
You can only comprehend so much elevation If it’s too good — it’s too alien And it’s too threatening There are some good reasons why “too good” should be viewed with scepticism: -What if it’s too good to be true? -What if you are being duped? -What if there’s a good reason why this …
Bet on The Self-Improving
Bet on The Self-Improving Bet on the self-improving But only on the TRULY self-improving In general people don’t change. Therefore you want people already FITTING, already SUITABLE, already PERFECT. Yes you can teach them a thing or two — but you can’t expect them to change. Therefore you want them already changed, already …
We Underestimate Learning Ability, Overestimate Changing Capacity
We underestimate the extent to which we can learn. But we also overestimate the degree to which others can change. Intelligence makes you think faster, comprehend faster, learn faster. But if knowledge is fixed — then it makes no difference how fast you have learned it. Once you learned it — it’s learned. You …
Will To Change = Know The Price
One’s willingness to change is measured in how much one is willing to PAY, to GIVE (to make that change). The idea of “no excuses”, or conversely of “Excuses” — are both meaningless. They say absolutely nothing about how much you’re willing to pay “No excuses” is an outright lie. Are you willing to …
BOTH Optimistic And Pessimistic
I spoke against optimism in place of realism. I spoke against scepticism in place of possibility, which is just pessimism and defeatism. I spoke for philosophically fundamentally positive attitude to existence I also spoke for seeing more “negative” as your perception improves I want to once again stress it, if it’s not yet clear: …
You’re Doing The Stress Wrong
You’re doing the stress wrong Your muscles do the stress right: -muscle is stressed -it adapts (by growing and/or becoming stronger) -it is now more adapted to handle that stressor You make one of the two mistakes with how you work with stress: -you don’t stress yourself appropriately -or you don’t adapt …
How to Use Nostalgia
Past is only useful as information, as a lesson. Past, psychologically, is an illusion. You no longer are in the past. The “past-you” doesn’t exist. If anything, the “past-you” and “future-you” are nothing but founts of pain. Therefore we learn to “let go” of the past. To “be in the moment”. Do let go …
Either Give Up Or Do Better
Either give up or do better. Never get used to failure. Never fail without good reason. Either give up already — or IMPROVE. It’s not “persistence” if you’re NOT improving. Either IMPROVE — or GIVE UP already. Even smallest improvement is a victory. But NOT improving is NOT acceptable. We have too many …
Daily Improvement Invariably Leads to Inner Change
I believe in TANGIBLY IMPROVING EVERY DAY. This is how I define success. This is how I define progress. I believe other measures are less reliable. The vital objection to this attitude is that GROWTH is not necessarily “DAILY”, and is not necessarily TANGIBLE, Growth is not linear. You can have a BIG DAY …
