I wanted to see which courses on edX I’ve enrolled in in the past, and maybe resume one of them or enroll in a new one. I had a dozen of courses in my waiting list. Yeah I am still a fucking lazy ass . But maybe a course made by a reputable university could help me in some way. I tried the first one. Not that interesting. Then I tried a second one. Sounded too theoretical. I was skeptic the whole time. I could not withstand learning from an instructor who has no success track of records except his academic title. It’s like a filter I have in my brain. I am not making any prejudices. I simply tried some non-technical courses from edX and the like and was not satisfied with the results. Or maybe my psychological filter got thick and allowed only hardcore stuff to circulate through; stuff from hardcore guys like David Goggins . Here I am watching a recent Goggins clip and confirming for the N th time, that this guy is a good example I could learn from.

Since I was taking the Goggins model to heart, I started constantly pushing my limit physically. And yesterday, I reached my 40%.

I could neither stand still, nor sleep. Whenever I tried to lay my head on the pill, I got stronger headaches and a strong sense to vomit. I started breathing deeper. Many images are flipping in a circle around my head. They did not want to stop. I did not want to wake up my spouse. I literally crawled on the floor towards some medicines in ...

Part 1: the naive student From 2007 till mid 2019, I listened to audio programs or video shows of the following motivational speakers: Brian Tracy Abraham-Hicks Larry Winget Tony Robbins Robert Kyosaki Eric Thomas I used to think those guys had massive success in their life and wanted to share their wisdom with the world through audio books. But then I looked nearer and I got disappointed. Here is what you can read about them in Wikipedia : Don’t you spot the common trait among them? I neither read nor heard of them having some big real-life achievements, besides scoring best-selling books or seminars. All of the mentioned above are either authors, speakers, seminar gurus or all of it. And by the way, over the years I realized they seem to have more or less the same stuff to teach. I had only ephemeral success with either one of them. Nothing permanent. I had even almost all of Tony Robbins material, from Personal Power to Get The Edge, and I did not have the drive to explore the...
