“Whatever you can handle, it's up to you. Pick something where you are going to do it to failure--in other words, where you can hardly do it. That's the key. So many people will just take five pound weights and do something 10 times. What are they getting out of it? Nothing! Say you are going to build up your bank account. If you put in a penny a day, it's going take a long while. It's the same with exercise--the more you put into it the more you take out.” PeopleIfsLongFiveKeysExercisePicksWeightAccountsHandlePoundsWhere You AreUp To YouPenniesBank AccountsWhere You Are Going Author:Jack LaLanne
“The success factor is a combination of intuition and honestly, it's mostly only intuition. A design business is inherently dependent upon the intuition of its chief designer. Luckily I have a track record that if you show me five pairs of shoes I will almost always pick the one pair that will sell the best.

“Every singer has three or four or five techniques, and you can force them together in different combinations. Some of the techniques you discard along the way, and pick up others. But you do need them. It's just like anything. You have to know certain things about what you're doing that other people don't know. Singing has to do with techniques and how many you use at the same time. One alone doesn't work. There's no point to going over three. But you might interchange them whenever you feel like it. It's a bit like alchemy.” PeopleKnowsWayNeedsFeelsDifferentUseMightTogetherCertainThreeForceBitsFiveFourSingingPicksTechniqueSingersCombinationNo PointAlchemyInterchange Author:Bob Dylan

“It's lonely at the top. Ninety-nine percent of people in the world are convinced they are incapable of achieving great things, so they aim for the mediocre. The level of competition is thus fiercest for "realistic" goals, paradoxically making them the most time-consuming and energy consuming. It is easier to raise $10,000,000 than it is $1,000,000. It is easier to pick up the one perfect 10 in the bar than the five 8s.” PeopleWorldEnergyGoalPerfectLevelsFiveAchieveEasierPicksPercentLonelyAimRaisesCompetitionConvincedNineBarsGreat ThingsRealisticIncapableMediocreNinetyConsumingNinety NineTime ConsumingRealistic GoalsLonely At The Top Author:Tim Ferriss
