I normally record my notes down under book title or video title or person eg Jordan Peterson and post them on online notes. I also update on blogs. The thing is you have to trust yourself that you already exhibit some of the principles that you learnt. If you wish to recap, you simple relook at your notes again. You must understand your ego will want you to create a powerful note taking system. It will distract you and take away your time from doing other things. Do not get neurotic about notes. Info is everywhere.

Disagree. How can it be luck when you force yourself to.be deeply aware and think deeply. We can agree to disagree. Hardwork can bring you luck but it's not all luck. Like take for example, LeBron James scored lots of goals. It's all luck for him! He just happened to be at the right place right time, no skills no thinking involved?

haha it's not ALL about luck I believe. A great amount of awareness and deep introspection is probably needed. anyway, I am not enlightened and i also do not seek enlightenment or liberation because it's not my goal at all.

The road less travelled is great. Or you can read the purpose driven life. There aren't many books on discipline. Most books touch on willpower or perseverance but those are stage orange types.

Haha even if one becomes monk, one also may not find liberation or enlightenment because he is too attached to the outcome or too attached to their current world. Also, a monk rests in the monastery all day. Not sure how they can be liberated compared to the one who sky dive or the one who got a snake bite but survived.

You are living in lack and not abundance when you don't want your friends to succeed. Are they even your friends anymore?

It's up to you. First it's your baseline character...are you a helpful or kind person? Do you donate money to beggars regularly or do you never bat an eyelid? Different values, beliefs, cultures are also influencing your character as you grow older. So end of the day, you decide what kind of things you want to help people with and then you go out and help people.

We will never achieve our life dreams...because we/you change target all the time. For example, if you are a YouTuber, you will aim for 1k subscribers first, then 5k, then 10k, 100k, 250k, 500k, 1 mil. Then 2 mil. Or you would tell yourself oh I have reached 100k sub but most people have much much more so 100k subscribers is not that much of a big deal anymore? Same for money and many other things.

You think too highly of yourself. Your advices causes your friend to succeed or he will succeed anyway in spite of your advices? I think it is your ego telling you that you are responsible for his success when you only play a small small part.

The word 'define' is too strong but we are constantly shaped by our past. For example, what time we wake up and sleep are determined usually by past behaviors. Same for the food we eat regularly, the videos we watch, the websites we visit and people we talk to. Also our beliefs in whether we can do something or not. We are mostly controlled by our Subconscious.

not just novels. even reading comics help a lot because in a comic, you are seeing the actual conversation crafted by the authors. So this is why people who grow up reading Marvel and DC comics ended up as good conversationalist!

Video already posted before not once but twice. And maybe a few more times.

It's the culture that one is brought up in. Probably in Europe, more people are playing football and you become more exposed to this sport. The money is also in football in Europe sports. In America, of course the money is in NBA. And if you stay there, you will be moreexposed to this. You will prefer to play basketball over football if you play even less of football. We like to do the things we are familiar with. This is our subsconscious conditioning.

Actually something is counter intuitive or not does not matter. For example, in Europe, more people play and watch football and the counter intuitive thing is to play/watch basketball. And in America, it is the reverse. So it is all based on your sets of beliefs and the cultures you are exposed to. You simply choose which one is better for you and you don't really have to care whether some thing is counter intuitive or not. Everything has pros and cons.

It boils down to your beliefs or your confidence. If you know you can do a great job, you will not hesitate to do it.

@Rasheed thank you. very well put. May I ask where did you hear these from or did you come up with these yourself?

Yes. Humans will die off first before the plants, the fungis or the virus

Yes self helps are not that effective because they are mostly just advices without much emotional component to it. But I think people read self helps for a lot more reasons than listed. Other than to change behaviour, people also read to feel good about themselves, to improve their mindset, skillset, to learn more about a topic, to learn some tips, to pass time and many more. Self helps are also easier to read and for those living in countries where English is not their first language (Eg China, India, Japan, Thailand...), a lot of them would rather read self helps than biographies or novels which they may not understand. So the market for selfhelp is huge and getting bigger imo.
