@ZzzleepingBear @gettoefl Thank you guys for your answers. Wow, this is actually shocking to only even ponder about this possibility. Well, I wouldn't define that as something negative. It's a mechanism (the feeling that you are bloated and shouldn't drink anymore) that actually allows you to survive. I was talking more about negative thinking patterns, pessimism and depression. These things, to put it mildly, don't really increase your chances of survival.

Hey @fatemeh-ss . I would really like to have the opportunity to explain to you the complexity of the current situation in Israel, but based on the words you used in the post I am afraid your mind is so fixed that you would dismiss it. Perhaps you would agree to listen to the words of no other than the son of the founder of Hamas, Mosab Hassan Yousef. Please give it a chance. I hope at least it will make you consider that maybe things are not as simple as you thought. Regardless of this specific topic, I invite you and actually everyone to pay attention to what he is saying in the interview (The second video I linked). He is a living example on how far a person can go to pursue the values he believes in. He went against anyone and everything he knew including his ideas, society and closest family. Essentially killing his old self. He is a true inspiration for self actualizing people!

@Javfly33 You options are: 1. Going to countries where they grow the coffee - Ethiopia (the origin), South America, Eastern Asia. 2. Going in your country to a boutique café - unfortunately, usually the coffee that is sold in casual coffeehouses is low quality. Make sure the café roasts relatively freshly picked beans and it doesn't sit for months before being used. 3. You can make the coffee by yourself at home. You will need to buy freshly roasted beans (usually the boutique cafe sells them), a coffee grinder and a Macchinetta or a Cezve. Enjoy!

@Javfly33 There's nothing to be argued about taste On the other hand, maybe it is because you haven't tasted a freshly roasted Arabica / Brazilian black coffee. consider that it is the same as one's experience of meat would only come from McDonald's. He would even say that he loves it...Until you bring the guy to a proper Asado in Argentina.

@SQAAD Here are some unshakeable advantages of coffee that I haven't seen anyone posting yet: 1. Amazing people repellent / fast conversation finisher : Bumped again into an annoying colleague in your workplace? No problem, blow some air on the fuckface after drinking black coffee and for sure he won't bother you any time soon. 2. Best drain opener : Ate too many bananas and now feeling stuck? No need to call the plumber and make a porn scene out of it. Drink some coffee and your drain will be unclogged. 3. Great compost. Assuming you use an organic coffee. Lastly, on a more serious note, here is a rule of thumb for you. If there is a great debate over a certain subject and every research contradicts the previous one, then probably no one really has a definitive answer or there is more than one answer. For example: Recommended sleep quota, best diet and best training methods. So just try, see how your body feels, enjoy and don't overdo it. P.s. No, Starbucks is not a coffee, nor filter coffee. Use a cezve instead

You know, I really thought the people behind the keyboards in this forum are something different but perhaps I was wrong. It's amazing how you guys throw different statements to the air with such a great confidence about the topic - "Israel did this...." , "Hamas did that....", "it's because of that.....". In reality, you guys don't know shit about it. You are being fed by different media agencies with partial truths, each promoting its own agenda. You are bombarded with fake news in all social media that target exactly the right spots in your chimplike brain. 99% of you didn't even step a foot in this area. So my suggestion for you is to mind your own business, look at your own life first because your idiotic posts don't do any fucking good to solve this issue. If any, you are only misleading people, spreading more hatred and violence.

@Dodo The ULTIMATE TRUTH is...get readddyyy.....42. No but seriously, when I said the situation is very complicated, I meant it. it is a multi layered problem, don't expect "they are right, they are wrong" type of answers. A much better question to ask is how to solve it? Luckily some people in Israel are working on the latter. For example take these guys https://www.tzimzum.org.il/eng/ This is a new public initiative that was established under the understanding that black and white thinking won't solve the problem. Instead they are focusing on practical solutions to diminish the conflict step by step. They already have few achievements. The more support they gonna get, the more influence they will have over Israeli parliament's decisions.

@Dodo It's a bit naive to think that in such a debate someone will tell a non - biased, neutral statement. Even if someone has a bit of truth in his words, it will be immediately overshadowed by the 500 posts that are coming right after it. So good luck to the spectators that are reading the topic and are trying to acquire knowledge from it, (like the last topic in this forum - "BREAKING NEWS: Hamas....") to be able to filter the bs out of it. Usually it's whoever has the most flashy videos and click- bait news, will do the most noise and impact rather than the legitimate, neutral answers (which rarely exist anyway). The situation is very complicated and people don't know the big picture and don't want to know it. They only want to hear what they choose to hear.

Did I understood Leo's strategy correctly: 1. Raising your career capital by first creating relatively low consciousness small scale projects (addictive / catchy / appeal to basic human instincts). Yet not harmful. 2. Using the gained capital to create higher consciousness products that bring more value to the world but require a bigger budget. The core of the projects would be innovation and creativity. While your values,interests and life purpose would serve as a compass to focus your creativity like a laser beam. Is that so?

@Leo Gura Oh hell I am haha. But isn't zone of genius your top strength, so in this example it's creativity and what you are asking now is what is the desired manifestation of that for me? (the impact statement) One thing I very resonated with in "Guerilla Business Advice" was when you said you had a constant flow of creative ideas but they were all over the place. So, can't this flow be described as a zone of genius?

@Leo Gura I linked it together because for some reason at the time of writing the post I had a picture stuck in my head of nonprofit organizations (like Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation) as the "ultimate way" to have an impact and improve life quality of people in undeveloped countries. Hence the need for a bigger budget. However I understand that impact doesn't have to be done in a philanthropic manner and can be beneficial for both of the parties. Can creativity be a zone of genius? Or is this term too broad? Like having creative ideas to solve problems or to make stuff more efficient, cooler, more beautiful?

@Yarco You are right. I also felt how the video strengthened for me the idea of how much potential there is in creativity.

What are your thoughts about people who follow an egoistic passion? For example, people who are into competitive sports, A lot of Youtubers, bloggers and digital nomads (I am generalizing here). The only way they can continue pursuing their passion, whether it's travelling or riding a bike, is by advertising products of big corporations or ads on their channels (or by winning monetary prizes in competitions that also funded by some meaningless corporations). Leo talks in the LFP course that the biggest fulfillment comes from contribution to the world but they seem to be happy as hell while I think their contribution is questionable. I do realize that some of these people like famous athletes, use their fame to influence in good ways on society but 90% of them don't think about it when they do what they do. 1. Do you think these people bring true value to the world? 2. Do you think contribution should be a part of your life purpose or it can be something totally selfish?

@Elisabeth haha you made me laugh in your last paragraph. Appreciate your suggestions. I am an ambitious person and impact is one of my top values. I would like to be a creator that bring a positive change to the world, so I can not see myself being in the supportive circle but rather a main driver (without disrespecting the other roles) . However,vit looks like nowadays impact doesn't come hand in hand with working with your hands (while In the past, all the great inventors built their inventions that way). It's like I was born in the wrong era haha. With the development of technology it seems that you need to love being sedentary and work with your computer all day to have a great impact and solve important issues.

I wrote a few hours ago a post but I felt it missed my actual point completely. I am stuck in the life purpose course because the things I find meaningful in theory misalign with what I would like to do in practice in the day to day work. I will explain. I would like to be an inventor that invents new technologies that help either people or the environment, but as far as I know, the jobs in this field became sedentary, digital and mostly revolve around computers. For example, inventing prosthetic limbs is truly meaningful to me, it's amazing what levels scientists reached nowadays in this field. In our imagination, it may seem that their job looks like the image of Tony stark building his suit. However, in reality their job is pretty sedentary, involves almost no hands work (what ever needs to be built is sent to 3D printers or factories) and they are mostly busy on developing breaking through algorithms or models via the computers. I don't say digitalization is bad and we should all come back to stone age but it is not the medium I would like to work with. I would like to have a more dynamic, close to nature and less sedentary job. So what do you think? Perhaps you can share with me examples of career paths that are both impactful and dynamic. Should I make my love for hands work as a hobby and search for other ways to impact the world? (I could be a blacksmith that forges customizable swords that later on find themselves hanging on a wall in a collector's mansion, but quite frankly I don't find how it is contributing to the world and making it a better place).
