The things I am not proud of, I don’t make excuses for but instead make an effort to learn from and became the man I want to be in the future. The things that I am proud of are often a result of previous failures or mistakes that I learned from in the past. Good or bad there is always a lesson to be learned from life experiences.

In the time from March 2008 and March 2009 I hired a former US Navy SEAL, TC Cummings to coach me to become focused, disciplined and organized. In 2010, my times were better and I had become a better Brain Athlete in the year prior. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. So there you have it. ShareThis

Top 10 Crazy Kitchen Tricks That Speed Up Your Cooking I would like to add that the wider the ring, the easier it seems to be. I had a titanium ring more than twice the width of the one shown in the video and it was easy as hell. My wedding ring (which is about the same size as the one in your linked video) still works, but takes more effort and can hurt if I don't leverage it JUST right. I would also like to echo the sentiments of not using your wedding ring (At least in view of your significant other). Yea, definitely the wider the ring the better. I usually just use another bottle of unopened beer. Major System English List This is a list of English words for use with the Major system of mnemonics.

Mnemonic dominic system The mnemonic dominic system is a mnemonic system used to remember sequences of digits similar to the mnemonic major system. It was invented and used in competition by eight-time World Memory Champion Dominic O'Brien.[1] Differences from the major system[edit] The main difference between the Dominic system and the major system is the assignment of sounds and letters to digits. The major system would assign the sounds T + L to the number 15, and then find a word that has those sounds as the first two consonants. The Dominic system is specifically designed as a person-action system, while the major system can also be used to represent stand-alone objects. Encoding pairs of digits as people[edit] Using the dominic system every pair of digits is first associated with a person. To perform this encoding, each digit is associated with a letter using the table below. Encoding pairs of digits as actions[edit] Usage[edit] Longer numbers become stories.

But yes, the desire, the motivation is a key factor in anything.
