"Hara hachi bun me", a Japanese concept which means "Eat until you’re 80% full". While intuitive, it’s sad that one needs to be reminded of it.

Those who say talent doesn’t matter are liars. Those who stop at talent are failures. Federer said it best: Yes, talent matters. I’m not going to stand here…

Isn’t it interesting that we often make our best score when we’re not trying to make the best score? However, there’s something to be said about the fact…

If all you do is succeed in each and every thing you do, you just may not be pushing yourself enough. Failure reveals your true character. James Clear…

This may come as a shock to learn that (as reported here – and there are many similar reports, just Google them): Fewer than 1 in 100 stroke…

All of us that were privileged/lucky/pick_your_word to be born in favorable conditions (country, family, time in history, etc.), we should be grateful and reciprocate. This is why I…

In the future we’ll need people that teach us how to be happy. Come to think about it, that future may already be here. This is why I…

Why are there a lot of new self-help books still being published every day if everything was already written? Maybe the newer ones speak better to newer generations…

Can’t remember when was the last time that I got so drawn into the story like with the book I’m reading right now called “A Town Called Discovery”…

This sounds like an oxymoron, but you should always strive for more and be perfectly content and grateful for what you currently have. This is why I write…

Early in life you should probably strive for quantity (beware of any excess though), and tilt toward quality as you mature. This is why I write these ‘daily…

What if you stopped watching TV? More specifically ‘news’ on the TV. I don’t have anything against an occasional movie or a show (hell, I do it myself),…

WAGMI – We’re all gonna make it. But, haven’t we already? I mean, think about it: if you were able to buy (any) crypto thing (coin, token, NFT,…

With all the recent market ‘developments’, I couldn’t help but think: Dear #crypto, I’m back to #sportsbetting. There I can at least see and yell at the culprits…

Today’s thought is not originally mine, but a quote from an amazing (short, beautifully illustrated – I mean, just check the featured image, and thought-provoking) book by, a…

Put the damn phone away when you’re supposed to be having a conversation with someone in person. Some love talking about conspiracy theories and how ‘someone up there’…

Work hard and go the extra kilometer (miles are overrated 😉) even if there’s nothing in it for you. You’ll learn that’s easier to do when you actually…

At what point do you give up? I’m not thinking about the average “do only what’s necessary” folks. I’m thinking about the people that have the drive. Those…

Jim Rohn said it nicely: “We must all suffer from one of two pains: the pain of discipline or the pain of regret.”. And the thing is, one…

If you don’t learn (through some form of introspection) how to deal with the imposter syndrome, you’ll never reach your max potential. I discussed this topic in length…

If you spend 1 hour a day reading, you’ll read more than 60 books in a year (here’s the math that proves that). What if you get only…

Besides your undivided attention when you’re with them, and above else the actual quantity of time that you’re with them, what you should give to your children is…

You control what you think and do, not what happens to you. Life will, hopefully, throw challenges your way. From them, you will either learn and grow or…

John Maxwell said, and a lot of others agree: “You will never change your life until you change something you do daily. The secret of your success is…

Jim Rohn said that you’re the average of the five people you spend the most time with. Looking at my own life, that’s both true and shocking at…

Why financial literacy isn’t taught in school? P.S. I know, the drawing looks like a kidney. And no, the joke is not lost on me 🙂 This is…

I found many forms of this text online, and here’s one version of it: Imagine being born in 1900. When you are 14 years old, World War I…

What if NFTs are the next best thing? What if NFTs are just another version of ICOs in 2018? What if, what if… Either way, stay curious and…

Journaling is unexpectedly useful (especially in retrospectives). No special form is needed. A good idea is to start with a sentence about what you’re grateful for. [DT]

Self-sabotage is a real thing. What if we stopped it? What if we embrace what we can become, if only we wouldn’t be afraid of failure? [DT]
