"Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance" Book Review
This is another book review which is something I believe will help everybody. Recently, I read a book called "Grit", which is a recent book by Angela Duckworth. in this book, Angela discusses the reasons behind Passion & Perseverence.
Here is the excerpt from the book, extracted from Amazon:
"In this instant New York Times bestseller, pioneering psychologist Angela Duckworth shows anyone striving to succeed-be it parents, students, educators, athletes, or business people-that the secret to outstanding achievement is not talent but a special blend of passion and persistence she calls "grit."
Drawing on her own powerful story as the daughter of a scientist who frequently noted her lack of "genius," Duckworth, now a celebrated researcher and professor, describes her early eye-opening stints in teaching, business consulting, and neuroscience, which led to the hypothesis that what really drives success is not "genius" but a unique combination of passion and long-term perseverance.
In Grit, she takes readers into the field to visit cadets struggling through their first days at West Point, teachers working in some of the toughest schools, and young finalists in the National Spelling Bee. She also mines fascinating insights from history and shows what can be gleaned from modern experiments in peak performance. Finally, she shares what she's learned from interviewing dozens of high achievers-from JP Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon to New Yorker cartoon editor Bob Mankoff to Seattle Seahawks Coach Pete Carroll.
Among Grit's most valuable insights:
*Why any effort you make ultimately counts twice toward your goal
*How grit can be learned, regardless of I.Q. or circumstances
*How lifelong interest is triggered
*How much of optimal practice is suffering and how much ecstasy
*Which is better for your child-a warm embrace or high standards
*The magic of the Hard Thing Rule
Winningly personal, insightful, and even life-changing, Grit is a book about what goes through your head when you fall down, and how that-not talent or luck-makes all the difference."

Should You Defend Yourself Against Haters?
Defending yourself... Isn't it a beautiful thing to do? You get pretty much hate online, you read comments written by haters on the content you produce... Doesn't it sound awesome to have the opportunity to defend yourself against these ugly and son of a bi**** people?
Well... Things might not work so much like that as you might imagine. Defending yourself might not always be the best option. There are a lot of different variables that get in the way when it comes to defending yourself, from getting no effect and being a complete waste of time, to making the situation even worse.
So, when should you defend yourself against haters? Watch this video and find out!

The Importance Of Partying With Colleagues
Today we are going to talk about P-A-R-T-I-I-I-I-E-S! Yeah, this is what this channel is all about. Partying! Ok, maybe not.
So, in today's video I've received a question from a reader asking me about the importance of partying with colleagues. He says that he has been accepted in a new company and that his colleagues are asking him to go out.
The problem is that he does not like all this party stuff. He founds it really boring and he does not like to drink or to stay up late. Can it hurt his reputation in any way? Can he miss networking opportunities by turning down these opportunities?

"Bird By Bird" Book Review
Recently, I've been through some hard times, especially when it comes to creating new stuff. I felt like I had a bit of a creative block and this was really pissing me off.
So, I remembered a book recommended by Tim Ferriss in his Tools Of The Titans book, and I decided to take it a shot.
Here is the book description, extracted from Amazon:
""Thirty years ago my older brother, who was ten years old at the time, was trying to get a report on birds written that he'd had three months to write. It was due the next day. We were out at our family cabin in Bolinas, and he was at the kitchen table close to tears, surrounded by binder paper and pencils and unopened books on birds, immobilized by the hugeness of the task ahead. Then my father sat down beside him, put his arm around my brother's shoulder, and said, 'Bird by bird, buddy. Just take it bird by bird.'"

How To Find The Balance Between Work & Health?
This is one of the most difficult things programmers (and people in general) face in the 21st century. How to find the balance between work and health?
Most people believe that the more they work the better and faster they'll achieve their results. While this may seem true in some cases, it can turn you into a complete monster and zombie and it can totally ruin your overall health.
Finding the balance between work and health, fitness and a happy lifestyle should be a top priority if you want to be consistent and not get into burnout.

Are You Antifragile?
"A postulated antithesis to fragility where high-impact events or shocks can be beneficial. Anti-fragility is a concept developed by professor, former trader and former hedge fund manager Nassim Nicholas Taleb. Taleb coined the term "anti-fragility" because he thought the existing words used to describe the opposite of "fragility," such as "robustness," were inaccurate. Anti-fragility goes beyond robustness; it means that something does not merely withstand a shock but actually improves because of it."
(Source: http://www.investopedia.com/terms/a/anti-fragility.asp#ixzz4i6azN2pP)
Anti-fragility is an awesome concept that, once understood, can really change the way you see and perceive things.
In this video I'll talk more about antifragility, how it can benefit your life and business and how you can protect yourself from outside circumstances.

When Was The Last Time You Gave Yourself A 10?
Rating what we do is important for self-evaluation.
A while ago I did a video talking about the importance of giving yourself a 8-9-10 in everything that you do. Giving your best (or almost your best) is important if you're serious about doing what you're doing.
However, this got me thinking... When was the last time you've given yourself a 10?
Watch this video and change the way you see yourself.

Eye Contact + Smirking: The Ultimate Challenge For Self-Confidence
So, here it is. The ultimate challenge for those who want to improve your self-confidence.
A few months ago I did a video about making eye contact with random people on the street, without blinking or looking the other way.
After a short period, I did the second video of the series, asking you to go out and smirk. Just smirk. Smirk to random people. And see what happens.
If you did all the previous steps that I've outlined in this series of videos and you saw what happened, here is your final assignment: combine both.
Wanna know why? Watch this video and find out.
(And just to make sure... Don't do that to old ladies. Thanks)

I'm 21 And I've Never Had A Girlfriend: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VEaRBYF7SrM
Soft Skills Book: http://simpleprogrammer.com/softskills
Improving Your Life One Thing At A Time
A while ago I did a video about "I'm 21 And I've Never Had A Girlfriend". In this video, I helped a guy that was 21 years old and still haven't had a girlfriend. This video was a huge success and I received a lot of comments.
What concerned me was that some comments were really sad. I saw a lot of people saying that their lives did not matter, that they were ugly and that they would never get to a point where they could be happy. Reading those comments made me feel bad and left me with a desire to help.
Well, in this video I'll try to explain a concept that could help you whenever you feel that way. Sometimes we get overwhelmed by the amount of things in our lives we would like to change. However, it is important to step back and change one thing at a time.
So, ask yourself: what would be the one thing I could change in my life that would make me feel better? is my financial situation? Is my body? Is how I interact with people? List, make your decision and go for it!
Are you interested in understanding more about this process? Watch this video.

There is a very famous quote by Benjamin Franklin that states:
"There are two ways of being happy: We may either diminish our wants or augment our means- either will do- the result in the same; and it is for each man to decide for himself, and do that which happens to be the easiest. If you are idle or sick or poor, however hard it may be to diminish your wants, it will be harder to augment your means. If you are active and prosperous or young and in good health, it may be easier for you to augment your means than to diminish your wants. But if you are wise, you will do both at the same time, young or old, rich or poor, sick or well; and if you are very wise you will do both in such a way as to augment the general happiness of society."
There, we can get a very important life lesson, especially when it comes fo financial freedom and financial worry.
Watch this video and discover how you could possibly end your financial worries and overcome the scarcity mentality.
