| 7e7de75 | Once you assess your own skill and the situation, often things change. As long as you stop and really look, I think people's lives will change kind of radically, especially for women. Women are very, very quick to say they're scared. That's something I really want to change. | Timothy Ferriss | ||
| b8fa879 | It all began when I was asked to write an essay for a new radical magazine called Strike! The editor asked if I had anything provocative that no one else would be likely to publish. I usually have one or two essay ideas like that stewing around, so I drafted one up and presented him with a brief piece entitled "On the Phenomenon of Bullshit Jobs." The essay was based on a hunch. Everyone is familiar with those sort of jobs that don't seem, .. | David Graeber | ||
| 883a078 | What does it say about our society that it seems to generate an extremely limited demand for talented poet-musicians but an apparently infinite demand for specialists in corporate law? (Answer: If 1 percent of the population controls most of the disposable wealth, what we call "the market" reflects what they think is useful or important, not anybody else.)" | David Graeber | ||

| f7e70c6 | Idiota? Por supuesto [comerse solo una tarta gigante empalagosa solo por que el la habia hecho]. Creo que no se puede ser mas idiota. Este es un ejemplo ridiculo y a pequenisima escala de lo que continuamente hace la gente a mayor escala con los trabajos: sufrimiento autoimpuesto que puede evitarse... ?Que tarta de queso te estas comiendo? | Timothy Ferriss | ||

| 31aedbb | We'd all be happier and more successful if we could learn to be chefs more often--which just takes some self-awareness of the times we're being a cook and an epiphany that it's not actually as scary as it seems to reason independently and act on it. | Timothy Ferriss | ||
| 2b60a40 | If you don't make mistakes, you're not working on hard enough problems. And that's a big mistake." -Frank Wilczek" | Timothy Ferriss | ||

| 1bac2c6 | If I accept you as you are, I make you worse; however, if I treat you as though you are what you are capable of becoming I help you become that."--" | Timothy Ferriss | ||
| 336cf69 | Thinking of what makes me happy doesn't give me the same clarity as thinking about what gives me bliss. For me, it's the freedom I feel on top of a mountain or the breeze I feel laying on a catamaran net halfway around the world. Bliss is the highest peak of what brings you joy. If happiness is just above the status quo, bliss is what makes you feel most alive. Expect it will take courage to follow your bliss, and expect it will suck at tim.. | Timothy Ferriss | ||
| a703fde | My billboard would say this: "Busy is a decision." Here's why: Of the many, many excuses people use to rationalize why they can't do something, the excuse "I am too busy" is not only the most inauthentic, it is also the laziest. I don't believe in "too busy." Like I said, busy is a decision. We do the things we want to do, period. If we say we are too busy, it is shorthand for "not important enough." | Timothy Ferriss | ||

| a41779b | We were trying to catch a flight to Puerto Rico, but the local Puerto Rican scheduled flight was canceled. The airport terminal was full of stranded passengers. I made a few calls to charter companies, and agreed to charter a plane for $2,000 to Puerto Rico. I divided the price by the number of seats, borrowed a blackboard, and wrote virgin airways: $39 single flight to puerto rico. I walked around the airport terminal and soon filled every.. | Timothy Ferriss | ||

| c1ec1e2 | conscious thinking is largely asking and answering questions in your own head. If you want confusion and heartache, ask vague questions. If you want uncommon clarity and results, ask uncommonly clear questions. | Timothy Ferriss | ||
| 8e9b7ef | I prefer to be true to myself, even at the hazard of incurring the ridicule of others, rather than to be false, and to incur my own abhorrence." -Frederick Douglass" | Timothy Ferriss | ||

| 926cb37 | What advice would you give to a smart, driven college student about to enter the "real world"? What advice should they ignore? I thought about this a lot when I gave the commencement address at MIT back in 2013. I said that if I had a cheat sheet I could give myself at 22, it would have three things on it: a tennis ball, a circle, and the number 30,000. The tennis ball is about finding something that you can become obsessed with, like my ch.. | Timothy Ferriss | ||
| fbac502 | It's when I'm fuzzy about where I'm headed that I start to say yes to things willy-nilly. And I've been burned enough times by FOMO-based and ego-based decision-making to know that I'll always regret choosing to do something for the wrong reason. | Timothy Ferriss | ||
