“The benefits of becoming fluent in a foreign tongue are as underestimated as the difficulty is overestimated. Thousands of theoretical linguists will disagree, but I know from research and personal experimentation with more than a dozen languages that (1) adults can learn languages much faster than children when constant 9-5 work is removed and that (2) it is possible to become conversationally fluent in any language in six months or less. At four hours per day, six months can be whittled down to less than three months.” KnowsChildrenThreeLanguageHoursWorkFourMonthsBecomingSixBenefitsResearchAdultsDifficultyConstantTongueFasterDisagreeDozenSix MonthsTheoreticalExperimentationThree MonthsUnderestimatedFluentLinguists Author:Tim Ferriss

“A man of about fifty-four years of age, had begun, five or six months before, to be somewhat emaciated in his whole body...a troublesome vomiting came on, of a fluid which resembl’d water, tinctur’d with soot.... Death took place.... In the stomach...was an ulcerated cancerous tumour.... Betwixt the stomach and the spleen were two glandular bodies, of the bigness of a bean, and in their colour, and substance, not much unlike that tumour which I have describ’d in the stomach.” MenYearsTwoWholeBodyAgeDeathWaterFiveFourMonthsSixSubstanceColourFiftyStomachFour YearsSix MonthsFluidBeansTroublesomeVomitingSpleen Author:Giovanni Battista Morgagni
“For me, I have to say that I like to work a lot too, but I like not working better.

“I was never the kind of girl who said, "One day, I am going to be a beautiful bride, and I am going to have a family." I wanted to work and support myself and make my parents proud. All I did was work. I did three or four films a year, and felt like I was on a treadmill. Finally I said, "Nothing is exciting to me anymore." So I took six months off, which turned into a year, and said, "God, I don't miss it." That's when all kinds of interesting things crossed my path.” YearsKindSaidWantedBeautifulFilmGirlThreeFeltParentInterestingSupportPathFourMissingMonthsProudOne DaySixExcitingAll KindsSix MonthsInteresting ThingsBridesTreadmillsKind Of Girl Author:Sandra Bullock
“I don't go through a torturous intellectual process to decide what to direct. I know what I want to direct the second I read something or hear a story. I just know when it grabs me in a certain way I want to direct it. And then I spend the next four to six months trying to talk myself out of it, because directing is really hard! But it's true, I know essentially when and what I want to do next... it's an undeniable feeling I get and it's not the same feeling I get when I wind up producing something.” KnowsWayWantTryingHardStoriesFeelingsCertainNextProcessFourWindMonthsSixIntellectualDirectSix Months Author:Steven Spielberg
