Harmony Instead Of Motivation
Perhaps 100 years from now all the hustle videos and motivation crap will be replaced with harmony videos. Hustle neither brings the happiness at the end of the road nor does it even accelerate the “growth”. You’d be shocked how much more productive is the FREE one. And how much happier.

Limitless Delusion
There’s no limit to delusion when you don’t test your believes against the real world. Inexplicably delusional delusion is simply an untested belief. Harbour beliefs long enough without testing them — and you WILL be crazy. The very definition of madness is this extreme divergence from reality. Seeing things? Hearing things? Your …
Dichotomy of “Following One’s Passions”
Following/ Not-Following one’s passions must be the most inimical false dichotomy there is.

Professionalism is identical with intelligence identical with awareness, high discernment. You’re either aware what must be done or not. You either do what must be done or …

You Don’t Need a Better Plan
You don’t need a better plan – you need more decision-making power. Great plan is a great way of escaping the burden of making a decision. The more detailed and strict the plan – the more excuses and the more limitations. When you want something — you act. When you don’t want …
Terrible Shortcomings of the Winner’s Mentality
Does “winner’s mentality” make you win? Is “winner’s mentality” a good idea? Do you want to win? Do you want to do the right thing? What do you want? What’s winner’s mentality? I imagine it’s mentality of a person predisposed to win. If so – it’s related to winning. So does it make …
