numbers 4-hour-work-week practicals
Money is multiplied in practical value depending on the number of W's you control in your life: what you do, when you do it, where you do it, and with whom you do it. I call this the freedom multiplier.
fun stress rich
Unbeknownst to most fun-loving bipeds, not all stress is bad. Indeed, the New Rich don't aim to eliminate all stress. Not in the least.
thinking special bars
Language learning deserves special mention. It is, bar none, the best thing you can do to hone clear thinking.
travel real world
The commonsense rules of the "real world" are a fragile collection of socially reinforced illusions.
powerful successful people
People are fond of using the its not what you know, its who you know adage as an excuse for inaction, as if all successful people are born with powerful friends. Nonsense.
inspirational difficult
Learn to be difficult when it counts
inspirational moving people
Most people are fast to stop you before you get started but hesitate to get in the way if you're moving.
sports language excellent
Sports just happen to be excellent for avoiding foreign-language stage fright and developing lasting friendships while still sounding like Tarzan.
inspirational use hours
If you spend your time, worth $20-25 per hour, doing something that someone else will do for $10 per hour, it's simply a poor use of resources.
inspirational becoming building

art
Learn the art of the pitch and of messaging.

thinking our-generation self
Food became for me a way of becoming self-sufficient with my hands, to regain manual literacy, which I think has been lost on our generation and certainly younger generations. Very few people can actually make things with their hands and do things with their hands.
hope work land
I've seen the promised land, and there is good news. You can have it all.
