Self Improvement Quotes

“How many people are sitting in old folk’s homes right now that no one cares about? That is also a tragedy of immense proportions. There was a time when those people had meaning. There was a time when those people had opportunity, power, vibrancy, life, and attractiveness. When do they really die? Is it when their heart stops? The brain stops? Or when they could stop caring? Or do they die when we stop caring?”

“You do can something, right? We are at the time where we do not have to pretend that there’s nothing that can be done. There are things that can be done, and as Silicon Valley tech billionaire Peter Thiel said, they’re underfunded. No one cares about them. Poor Aubrey de Grey has been giving talks on TED and at Google, and no one believes. The listeners are just thinking, “Eh, crazy guy. Death is cool.”

“Directly attacking the pro-death mindset that so many people have has been proven unfruitful by anyone that’s tried it recently, thus Scivive suggests a more sex, drugs, and rock and roll approach. Give them the hedonism they want, and should want, and then pivot into the correct actions intelligent emotionally fulfilled people tend to desire. In this case, rejuvenation technology.”

“Timing is important. If you go to get your eyes checked, it’s best to go with your eyes already tired, already under strain, because those are the times when you will need your glasses the most. Therefore, it’s better to go there with your eyes under that condition when you do the testing, so that the prescription that you get is there when you need it the most.”

“People thought that what you ate was super important and then they realized that there’s micro world of amazing bacteria in people’s guts and that they’re mildly different. What might be a great diet for you isn’t for someone else, not only because they’re biologically different, but because of this other species of microbes that has nothing to do with their DNA, they have their own DNA.”

“If you picked your top 25 things and took off the bottom 20 and avoided them, because they might hurt the top 5, you would be using the negative space idea. The result is more work on the stuff you really care about. Depending on how far different your 1-25 really were, you might have a top 10 that were almost all the same thing, so there’s a little bit of accuracy of scope that is involved.”

“Don’t confuse personal excellence with “self-help.” Calling books on how to kick ass “self-help” is kind of stupid, because it’s quite often that the people that read these books are far beyond the needing of help than those that are smart enough to read this excellent and life changing material over all of the other options on the book shelves. Who came up with that dumb ass title? How is personal excellence in any way similar to “self-help”?”
