Introduction

David struggled at school and did not learn as fast as the other kids.So he cheated.

Chapter 1: I Should Have Been a Statistic

This story – your story – is full of excuses for why you should not succeed. So, they will fuel your success.

Challenge #1

If you suck, tell yourself you suck. That’s ok. You’ll just need to work hard now, in order to lose weight or not suck.Call yourself out!

Chapter 2: Truth Hurts

Whatever your goal is, you need to be honest about where you are on your path, and what you need to get done.

Challenge #2 

Whenever he’d cut a workout short because he was tired, he’d go back to the gym to do the entire workout again. He could not be dishonest with himself.

Chapter 3: The Impossible Task 

<ul><li>Write down all the things you don’t like to do or that make you feel uncomfortable.</li><li>Highlight those which are good for you.</li><li>Go do one of them. Then do them again.</li><li>Do something that sucks every day.</li><li>Once it becomes comfortable, go further.</li><li>The more you make yourself feel uncomfortable, the stronger you will become.</li></ul>

Challenge #3

He learned that everything in life is a mind game. No matter how bad something is, the pain eventually stops.Taking Souls is a game you play with your own mind by forcing yourself to overperform so that your enemy is surprised – your enemy has “his soul taken”.During the SEAL training, he learned that all pain is finite. Smile at it. It will end eventually. Victory is about bringing your best when you feel your worst – and not quitting.

Chapter 4: Takings Souls 

The only way to turntables and earn respect in competitions is to show excellence.And the only way to be excellent is to work harder.Achieve what your opponent/superior could never do themselves.

Challenge #4 

The calloused mind enables the brain to tap into the sympathetic nervous system which energizes you.You should push the hardest when you want to quit the hardest. This is how you train your calloused mind.

Chapter 5: Armored Mind

<ul><li>He rejected his past, hence he rejected himself.</li><li>The only way to accept yourself fully is to go back to your past and identify all of the moments of weakness, and label them as just that: weakness.</li><li>Only when you recognize you were weak, can you then accept it and move forward.</li></ul>

Visualize an obstacle, and imagine overcoming it.

Challenge #5

<ul><li>A quarter into the race, he wondered why he was getting himself into these situations.</li><li>At the seventieth mile, he took a break, his body on the verge of collapse.</li><li>To help, he remembered all the pain he went through in his life, tapped into his sympathetic nervous system, and went back running.</li><li>You need all of the hope you can have. David calls his memories of pain and victory, his “Cookie Jar”.</li></ul>

Chapter 6: It’s Not About a Trophy

Write down all of the obstacles you have overcome, all of the small and big victories, and the pain you had to go through to succeed.Fill up your own Cookie Jar.

Challenge #6

<ul><li>Each time he pushed the boundaries, he was surprised to see how far he could go.</li><li>Goggins believes that shortcuts to pain are nonsense.</li><li>The only way to do more and better is to go beyond your perceived limitations.</li></ul>

Chapter 7: The Most Powerful Weapon

<ul><li>The human body is like a stock car. We can go very fast, but there is a governor preventing us from reaching peak potential.</li><li>Our governor is in our mind, and if we remove it, we can achieve anything.</li><li>The only way to remove it is not to listen to the voice telling you to quit.</li></ul>

the governor

Your mind is wired to tend towards comfort, not performance.

Your mind is wired to tend towards comfort, not performance. The way to change that is to callous your mind, meaning, chasing pain!

CALLOUS YOUR MIND, CHASE THE PAIN!

<ul><li>When you’re tired, acknowledge that this is your governor of pain talking.</li><li>You are not as tired as you think you are.</li><li>Keeping this in mind will help you keep going.</li></ul>

fuck govenor!

Another obstacle is friends and family. Often, they drag us down, which is why you should use your Cookie Jar when this happens – it is a great system to remind yourself who you are.

friends and family

Keeping an open mind will help you keep going. Of course, it’s easier to keep an open mind when you are chilling on your couch than when you’re suffering.

Open mind

<ul><li>Remove your governor. To do so, reach a point when you are super tired, and push just 5 or 10% further. Then repeat. </li><li>Life is a mind game. </li><li>The only person you are competing against is yourself.</li></ul>

Challenge #7

When students asked him if they could one day run 100 miles like him, this is what Goggins would tell them.The only way to master your mind and kill the governor is to get addicted to hard work.

Chapter 8: Talent Not Required

When something goes wrong in your life (like an injury), don’t just stop. Adapt. If you play piano and hurt your right hand, practice with your left hand meanwhile.

This is a three-week challenge during which you will take control of your schedule.first week,observe your work.Identify where you wasted time and trim it.For week two, build a schedule by blocks of 15 minutes.Do one thing at a time, and focus on it recklessly.Optimize and refine in week three.

Challenge #8

<ul><li>Every day, he started back to zero.</li><li>This mindset helped him keep on soaking knowledge because it meant that nothing was ever finished. There was always more to do, and further to go. You whether move forward, or backward. But you never stagnate.</li><li>Most people don’t push themselves at all. Among those that do, most stop pushing when they reach their goals. Only the very few never stop pushing. </li></ul>

Chapter 9: Uncommon Amongst Uncommon

If you want to become uncommon among uncommon, you will have to stay great – meaning, never rest.

Challenge #9

Goggins learned that failures are great, because they contain the data you need to succeed.

Chapter 10: The Empowerment of Failure 

<ul><li>Think about your last/biggest failure. Write everything that went right from your failures, then write about how it affected you.</li><li>Then write about the things you can fix to avoid failing again.</li><li>Then prepare better, and make another attempt.</li><li>If your failure happened 25 years ago, that doesn’t change anything. Write that report.</li></ul>

Challenge #10

What if. When you attempt to do something difficult, a lot of people will discourage you for it. But what if you could pull it off? What if is the ultimate answer to anyone that had ever doubted you.

Chapter 11: What If? 

After fighting all his life, he had found peace.He understood that pain had unlocked in his mind a doorway to “a beautiful silence”.

What if YOU CAN?

What if you can succeed ? when everybody else doubts you! DO NOT STOP WHEN YOU'RE TIRED, STOP WHEN YOU'RE DONE!

Can't Hurt Me is an autobiographical account of how Goggins went from complete failure to becoming a Navy Seal and acclaimed motivational speaker. The essence of the book is "Push to the end, and when you're there...push further."

Understand yourself and those around you.

Can't Hurt Me Summary - David Goggins - Aure's Notes

Today we are living in generation where spending money is like hand scum.We all need to control on money the things we don't need we don't have to buy them because after all we are buying expensive things for people who we want to show off I would like to remind you the best scene from "fight club" where Brad pitt aka tyler durden tell us about money things.Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy things we don't need, and the things you own, end up owning you

Money Is Not Everything 

Trusting people blindly is just that you are buying a product with knowing it and you put your expectations higher on the person but the person is not actually capable of handling the expectations of yours and soon it breaks up your heart and then finding difficulties in the trust section in a human relationship.Don't expect much from the people,Always keep an impression of acceptance,Trust is the important impression for you so see all the things and then think about trusting it.Don't be nice to everyone. And don't certainly trust everyone. Do things for yourself.

Never Trust Blindly

Life may have so much to give but sadly more often than not people tend to get crumble under the pressure. Fast life has its perks and drawbacks but what most people forget is that people tend to lose themselves in the race to move ahead in life.The constant need to travel and explore unchartered territories is something that everyone who has a 9 to 5 job craves for. Traveling not only enriches your soul but it also helps you attain a sense of balance in an otherwise chaotic lifestyle.

It's time to escape and find refuge somewhere you can reinvent yourself in peace and solitude

Spiti Valley is the land of Buddhist mysticism and it is most definitely one of the least populated regions of India.

8 creative energy saving ideas

Get a waterproof Bluetooth speaker. Pick a different song from your playlist each morning (or play one at random). Start your shower when the song starts and finish it when it finishes (and don’t cheat by going for the 8-minute-42-second version of Purple Rain !).

1. Musical showers

If you’ve got kids, turn saving energy into a weekly or monthly competition, with prizes for whoever saves the most (or something smaller each time they do something that saves energy). Or you could use a penalty system to award ‘bad’ points for wastage with the winner being whoever has the fewest points at the end of the week or month.

2. Gamify saving

Check out your previous year’s energy consumption ahead of the next billing period then set out to beat it (meaning use less, not more). Maybe put your target in dollar terms and put the difference – the amount you come in under budget – toward something you want.

3. Beat the budget

As a variation on ‘date night’, pick one night a week to use next to no electricity (no cooking, no TV, no devices, and no more than one light on at a time). Get fish and chips and make your own entertainment, from board games to reading to a family art project.

4. Detox night

Not counting the fridge, which has to be on all the time, count how many other appliances and devices you have that could be plugged in at any one time – the absolute maximum. Now pick a practical but challenging number (maybe four or five?) and work hard not to exceed that by turning one off before turning a different one on.

5. Power by numbers

Find a few like-minded friends and neighbours and take turns having a night at each other’s places. You’ll use a little bit more energy on the night it’s your turn to host but save considerably by not being home on the other three or four nights each month.

6. Form an appliance alliance

A bit of a variation on the previous idea. Cook enough food for several meals in one big cook up and share it with two neighbouring couples or families – having arranged for them to return the favour, of course. Two or three meals for the energy cost of one, plus the extra variety of meals you might not cook for yourself (plus a couple of nights off from cooking).

7. Meal sharing

Save money and get fit at the same time by turning your old-school stationary exercise bike into a generator. Here Popular Mechanics explains how to do it yourself, or you could invest in something like the Pedal-A-Watt generator stand (a standard bike just slots in to it), or the Upcycle EcoCharger. As the Green Microgym website explains: “the 50-150 watts you create can power a phone, tablet, laptop, and even a TV with no more effort than a regular workout”.

8. Pedal power

There are eight creative energy saving ideas. Now let's hear yours, comment your creative way to save energy (and cut your power bills).

Once you’ve shopped around for the best deal – and ended up with us here at GloBird Energy – there are still some other things you can do to keep your power…

Top 5 ways to improve your will power 

First-principles thinking is one of the best ways to reverse-engineer complicated problems and unleash creative possibilities. Sometimes called “reasoning from first principles”.The idea is to break down complicated problems into basic elements and then reassemble them from the ground up.

What is first-principles thinking?

How many times did we hear the phrase "We’ll do that because it’s always been done that way"? Personally, I would say many times.When we reason by analogy we build our "reasoning" on top of impure assumptions and conventions. We tend to do this simply because it is easier and more straightforward.

We tend to reason by analogy

The difference between reasoning by first principles and reasoning by analogy is like the difference between being a chef and being a cook. If the cook lost the recipe, he’d be screwed. The chef, on the other hand, understands the flavor profiles and combinations at such a fundamental level that he doesn’t even use a recipe. He has real knowledge as opposed to know-how.

What is the difference between analogy and first-principles?

I don’t know what’s the matter with people: they don’t learn by understanding; they learn by some other way—by rote or something. Their knowledge is so fragile!

So much of what we believe is based on some authority figure telling us that something is true.This way of learning applies to schools, where most teachers try to transfer knowledge to us through a mechanical process that doesn't involve reasoning which leads to poor skills in problem-solving-based subjects such as maths, physics, logic...

How are we used to learning?

It is important to view knowledge as sort of a semantic tree — make sure you understand the fundamental principles, i.e., the trunk and big branches, before you get into the leaves/details or there is nothing for them to hang on to.

An analogy with trees

I have always been against reasoning by analogy and this article explains very clearly why that way of reasoning is fundamentally broken.

First Principles tinking breaks down true understanding into building blocks we can reassemble. It turns out most of us don’t know as much as we think we do.

First Principles: The Building Blocks of True Knowledge - Farnam Street

Verbal abilities provide benefits in school and in one’s career. Fostering a love for stories and fiction in children should be a high priority.

Verbal Abilities Are Helpful ✨

We all know that reading is good for children and for adults, and that we should all be reading more often. One of the most obvious benefits of reading is that it helps improve language skills. A major review of research on leisure reading confirmed that reading does indeed foster better verbal abilities, from preschoolers all the way to university students. But, does it matter what we read?

Reading Is A Must 

In four separate studies, based on data from almost 1,000 young adults, behavioural scientist Marina Rain examined how reading fiction and non-fiction predicts verbal abilities.

Experiments With Genre In Reading 

They found that reading fiction was the stronger and more consistent predictor of language skills compared to reading non-fiction. This was true whether people reported their own reading habits or if we used a more objective measure of lifetime reading (recognizing real author names from among false ones). Importantly, after accounting for fiction reading, reading non-fiction did not predict language skills much at all.

Fiction Over Non Fiction 

To measure verbal abilities in three of these studies, they relied on items from the verbal section of the SAT, the standardized test used by many U.S. universities when judging applicants. Thus, the measure of language skills employed in these studies is rather obviously tied to an important real-world outcome: admission to university.

Using SAT to measure Verbal Abilities .

Although it was somewhat surprising to discover that reading fictional stories predicts valuable language skills better than reading non-fiction, the repeated replication of this result across several studies increased our confidence in this finding.

Fiction Builds Language Skill 

People who reported they read for their own enjoyment were also more proficient in terms of language skills and this was partially explained by how much fiction they had read.

Fiction , Reading For Joy & Language Skills Are Related 

In a follow-up study, a collaboration between a psychology lab at York University and a lab at Concordia University led by education professor Sandra Martin-Chang, they asked 200 people about their various motivations for engaging in leisure reading.

Experiment For Leisure Reading .

Those who reported that they read for their own enjoyment tended to have better language skills. Related to our previous finding, this association was partially explained by how much fiction they had read

Enjoying Reading Turned Beneficial 

Hi,I'm shafin & I'm 18 years old posting content here on various genre ( make sure you check out my profile 😊).Make sure you post comment & react to this stash ,it keeps me motivated .Liked my work ? Checkout my socials & follow for more ❤️🤗

About Me 

In fact, across several types of motivation, those motivations linked to reading fiction rather than non-fiction were invariably associated with better verbal abilities. On the other hand, when a motivation was more strongly associated with reading non-fiction it tended to be either unrelated to verbal abilities or associated with worse abilities.

Motivation Linked To Reading 

For example, people who were motivated to read in order to grow and learn focused on reading non-fiction, so this attitude was actually associated with poorer language skills.

Non Fiction & Motivation 

Based on these five studies, the picture is quite clear: it is reading stories, not essays, that predicts valuable language skills in young adults. But why does reading fiction have this unique advantage over non-fiction? We don’t yet exactly know, but we can rule out one obvious possibility: that fiction employs SAT words more often than non-fiction.

It's Reading Stories Not Essays 

To investigate this possibility, we turned to several large collections of texts, containing around 680 million words in total. Words that appeared in the SAT were either less common in fiction compared to non-fiction, or the difference was so small it was negligible.

Unique Advantage Of Fiction Reading 

Fiction readers are therefore not doing better on SAT items simply because fiction contains more SAT words. This means that there must be something special about reading fiction that helps promote language skills. Perhaps the emotions evoked by stories help us to remember new words, or maybe our intrinsic interest in stories results in a stronger focus on the text. Future research will hopefully uncover the reasons for this fascinating difference between reading fiction and non-fiction.

Fiction Promotes Language Skills .

Regardless of the reasons, the fact that it is narrative fiction and not expository non-fiction that helps us develop strong language skills has important implications for education and policy.

Narrative Fiction Builds Strong Language Skills 

When it comes to reading, it really is a case in which the rich get richer: A great deal of past research has established that those who read more tend to get better at reading, find it easier and more enjoyable and read more as a result. This results in a causal loop in which leisure reading reaps increasingly larger benefits for readers in terms of language skills. Remarkably, this remains true all the way from preschool to university.

Rich Gets Richer 💸

These improved language skills in turn result in all kinds of important advantages, such as doing better at school, attaining a higher level of education and being more successful at work.

Improved Language Skill💪 = Important Advantage 💰

In fact, one study of over 11,000 people found that children who were better readers at age seven had a greater degree of socio-economic success 35 years later! This held true even after accounting for important factors like their socio-economic status at birth, intelligence and academic motivation. Leisure reading is important for developing language skills, which in turn are linked to key socio-economic outcomes.

Leisure Reading Is Important.

Work from our lab, based on young adults, is beginning to clarify the association between reading and language abilities, pointing to the importance of reading fiction and not just non-fiction.

Fiction Is A Must For Readers 

Why you need fiction over non fiction 💪

Verbal abilities provide benefits in school and in one’s career. Fostering a love for stories and fiction in children should be a high priority.
