Stress According to Naval Ravikant, stress is the pull between two opposing decisions, creating the mental stress on mind. While physical stress is similar to pressuring an Iron bar from two sides, it might hold as long as its intrinsic strength is not overcome by the force.

I am guilty as Jonney, eating sugar. My latest hobby has been reading White Fang to steal words from Jack London and post some stupid philosophy/poetry ideas on serious philosophy groups and watch their reaction and read through comments.

After a tired day of working, I chose to go to a nearby temple on a modest hill. Surrounded by taller mountains, the pagoda, was the main attraction of the temple. I could see the treetops, just at my eye level. There was no wind. The highway was nearby, disturbing the silence by noise of cars at discrete intervals. And mind, spontaneously started to count them. One two three four, it looked natural the counting. Hence natural numbers . But when I looked at trees, I saw them

"I used to be a guy experiencing the universe but now the universe is experiencing a guy. " What can I say, it shook me when I heard Jim Carrey when he spoke these words in an interview. How much an actor, an impersonator, an entertainer can know about life. But here it is evidence to the fact that Jim is not build from ordinary material.

Inspiration is Perishable - Naval Ravikant If you are a procrastinator Like me all my life, this is good advice from Philosopher Naval Ravikant. I follow this angel investor from Silicon Valley for some time, who has a bit of taste in philosophy. He doesn't talk you 1000 steps to become wealthy person.
