definition of "easy" -> "something you can do" (it's easy) --> (and work hard at it) -> "find
something what you can do that it's easy and work hard at it" <--- it's easy not to. "The things

I read books every day. Doing so teaches me new things, adds new perspectives, and
ultimately increases my potential. Without self-awareness, I could read all of the books in the
world... but until I'm able to connect what I learn to who I am, and where I want to be... I'm just
spinning my wheels

"Make no small plans, for they have no magic to stir man's blood and probably themselves will
not be realized. Make big plans; aim high in hope and work, remembering that a noble, logical
plan once recorded will never die, but long after we are gone will be a living thing, asserting
itself with ever-growing insistency. Remember that our sons and daughters are going to do
things that will stagger us. Let your watchword be order and your beacon, beauty. Think big."-

IDEAS
Ideas are like optical instruments, they are things to see with, WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING AT
IS LIFE, HUMAN PROBLEMS, HUMAN SITUATIONS, THE WORLD, NATURE AND when you
don't have ideas in you head you are seeing something VERY shallow, you don't see in depth.
ALL IDEAS ARE SEEN INSTRUMENTS REALLY, THAT ENABLES YOU TO SEE, TO SEE
WHATS GOING ON, TO SEE TROUGH THINGS. An educated man is a man whose mind is
deeply enriched by IDEAS THAT ENAMBLES THEM TO SEE MORE DEEPLY THAN MOST
OF THE MEN SEE.

Most people's approach to changing the results in their life comes from BEHAVIOR
MODIFICATION which is why most people don't succeed at changing the RESULTS in their life.
If we really want to make change we have to be smarter than just try a different BEHAVIOR,
now you DO HAVE TO CHANGE the behavior, but more importantly that WHAT WE DO, we
have to get into WHY WE DO IT. Why YOU CHOOSE the BEHAVIORS you choose.
