  1. But I am a reader. I also look at Youtube summaries of books. I've probably read lots of good books you never have.
  2. Environment is people and experiences ie not books. Books are brain food but limited unless the info stands the test of time. Some stoic stuff has. Carnegie books have too.
  3. Today is the only day that exists so you are right. Enjoy each day. 1m will die in the next 24 hours.
  4. Yes if Hitler had a better family he might not have ended up a mass muderer but his genes could still make him a bad person. There is a gene called the warrior gene and another gene linked to bad behaviour.
  5. The earth owns us. We don't own the earth. We are just electrons, water and protons that last 90 years.
  6. Life is mostly guesses Fred like science, like the stock market. The future is unknown. A 15yo now has more knowledge than a 50yo in 1940.
  7. Nope. It comes from genes. Both my uncle and brother have the same personality. Their childhoods were nothing alike. Hitler was not born a murderer but he was born with bad genes. Bad genes lead to bad actions.
  8. What is truth? People said you can't run a 4 minute mile before. Most authors are just using info that is limited and half true.
  9. Character comes from genes. Some people are born selfish. Just like some are born gay.
  10. David Goggins read no books on exercise. Never takes supplements. He says most authors are theorists. He is right.
  11. I would say some fiction books are actually better than many non fiction books if they fire your imagination. A lot of non fiction books are just forgettable or repeating ideas from 100 years ago. "Imagination is more important than knowledge" Einstein
  12. They were books on life and happiness. Some of them are world famous best sellers.
  13. So a murderer is equal to a nice person who never harms
  14. I just read 5 books in 2 weeks. I enjoyed the books but I'm smart enough to know these books are just books. They are limited in their practical application to life. You are not.
  15. You seem to have no idea about anything. Playing golf with Tiger 3 times a week for 6 months will teach you far more than 200 books. Nobody would rather read 200 books except you.
  16. 6 months with a top chef is way better than reading 20 books. Not even close. Most knowledge never gets used from books. Kids go to school for 12 years+. They only used a small percent of the knowledge.
  17. So if you wanted to be a top chef you would focus on recipe books instead of spending 20 years in kitchens with top chefs
  18. Not really. Thai women are happy with any man that meets the 3 criteria of fun, emotional needs and finance needs. Many Thai women are unworldly and don't know much about farangs but if a farang enters their world and ticks of the 1,2,3 boxes they will be wanted. You don't need to be close to her age either. 20 years is close enough. You don't need to be fit or good looking either. Women care about looks in a man but that's no 4 behind the others. You see 8s and 9s dating ugly guys around the world. Dave Hughes is a comedian. He's a 1. His partner is or was an 8.5. He meets the top 3.
  19. Mostly impractical bs. I've read books like this. Mostly useless in the real world. Look at you. Read books for 30 years, still lots of failed relationships. You don't get people Fred. About 10 to 20% of books is useful day to day. Women want to have fun and be supported emotionally and financially. It's not rocket science.
  20. It is her job to attract a client isnt it? If she was unfriendly nobody would hire her
