Education Vs Financial Freedom | Brian Wong | The Official Blog. In the “About Me” section of my blog (which I wrote 5 years ago), I spoke about how “if you want to get rich, don’t go to school”. I think this point is worth bringing up again. Especially at a time when US Student Loans has exceeded the US$1 trillion mark! Its quite worrying that such large numbers of young adults are barking up the wrong tree when trying the make their way in the world.
I assume that most rational young adults go to school and choose careers because they eventually want to achieve financial freedom. If that is their true objective, then a key strategy is to spend less than you earn and to invest the difference over time. So it alarms me that the majority of young people are doing the complete opposite. I can’t think of anything worse than starting a working career in debt. I was watching this Ted Talk below by Sugata Mitra over the weekend. The chart shows that despite massive growth in student loans, the rate of growth in household income is actually declining. 8 math talks to blow your mind. Mathematics gets down to work in these talks, breathing life and logic into everyday problems. Prepare for math puzzlers both solved and unsolvable, and even some still waiting for solutions.
Ron Eglash: The fractals at the heart of African designs When Ron Eglash first saw an aerial photo of an African village, he couldn’t rest until he knew — were the fractals in the layout of the village a coincidence, or were the forces of mathematics and culture colliding in unexpected ways? Here, he tells of his travels around the continent in search of an answer. How big is infinity? There are more whole numbers than there are even numbers … right? Actually, there aren’t. Arthur Benjamin does “Mathemagic” A whole team of calculators is no match for Arthur Benjamin, as he does astounding mental math in the blink of an eye. Scott Rickard: The beautiful math behind the ugliest music What makes a piece of music beautiful? The Sacred Geometry Of Music.
The Sacred Geometry Of Music by Andrew Lorimer Music uses the laws of vibration to manifest aurally what exists at the center of everything. Into our reality springs a non-visual harmonic law that is universal. The notes and intervals of music speak directly to the chakra centers and causes them to vibrate in harmony to the vibration of a string or vocal chords, speakers moving through the air, or the sound of someone’s lips making a farting noise through a metal tube. Music uses the laws of physics and mathematics to bring out an emotional response in the listener. The music of the Western world uses a mathematical system based on Twelve. All the songs you have ever known and sang along to in your life use the same simple laws based on the number twelve. Clock Harmonisphere The mathematics of the harmonisphere are amazing. When we measure the same chords on the harmonisphere, the seven chords have the same mirrored combinations as the piano:

Lojong (Tib. བློ་སྦྱོང་,Wylie: blo sbyong) is a mind training practice in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition based on a set of aphorisms formulated in Tibet in the 12th century by Geshe Chekhawa. The practice involves refining and purifying one's motivations and attitudes. The fifty-nine or so slogans that form the root text of the mind training practice are designed as a set of antidotes to undesired mental habits that cause suffering. They contain both methods to expand one's viewpoint towards absolute bodhicitta, such as "Find the consciousness you had before you were born" and "Treat everything you perceive as a dream", and methods for relating to the world in a more constructive way with relative bodhicitta, such as "Be grateful to everyone" and "When everything goes wrong, treat disaster as a way to wake up.
" History of the practice[edit] Atiśa journeyed to Sumatra and studied with Dharmarakṣita for twelve years. Geshe Chekhawa is claimed to have cured leprosy with mind training. 1. 2. Six Keys to Changing Almost Anything. By Tony Schwartz | 10:58 AM January 17, 2011 Change is hard. New Year’s resolutions almost always fail. But at The Energy Project, we have developed a way of making changes that has proved remarkably powerful and enduring, both in my own life and for the corporate clients to whom we teach it. Our method is grounded in the recognition that human being are creatures of habit. Fully 95 percent of our behaviors are habitual, or occur in response to a strong external stimulus. In 1911, the mathematician Alfred North Whitehead intuited what researchers would confirm nearly a century later.
Most of us wildly overvalue our will and discipline. In order to make change that lasts, we must rely less on our prefrontal cortex, and more on co-opting the primitive parts of our brain in which habits are formed. Put simply, the more behaviors are ritualized and routinized — in the form of a deliberate practice — the less energy they require to launch, and the more they recur automatically 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
The Attitude that Guarantees Success. Top 10 Ways to Increase Your Happiness. How I Made $5500 Writing Books for Amazon Kindle | Sexy | Focused | Ambitious. August marks 3 years since I’ve begun learning how to make money online in a residual (automated) manner. For the longest time, I’d experimented with niche and affiliate marketing, birthing websites focused on highly specific topics with WordPress and the Google Keyword Tool. Macro- or micro-authority, I learned that while I’m okay at putting together a niche and conceptualizing a site around it, my true strength has always been that of writing.
I’m neither James Baldwin nor James Chartrand, however, my writing still flows with a sense of fluidity… perhaps too fluid. Especially when the topic pertains to something I’m passionate about or highly interested in learning more of. So when I came upon the idea that I could make money writing books for Amazon Kindle, I decided it would be the perfect opportunity to experiment with my writing muscle, and mix a little of my Internet Marketing skills in the mix. I started writing books in February 2011. By the end of 2011, I grossed $2,300. Lauryn. Jumpstart. Ryze runs on the required+ Foundation Theme.
