Contradictions Of Life & Letting Things Go
Have you ever wondered why life has so many contradictions? I've been wondering this these days and I've come up with a very powerful concept.
There are a lot of contradictions in life that most of us never realize. Some of this stuff has its origin back in the law of attraction, that states that you attract into your life what you feel.
One of the most common contradictions of life is money. It seems like the most you want money so badly, the less you get. It seems that the more you want to get a girl, the less you get. You get caged in your feelings of needing that you end up getting none or things come very difficultly for you.
Wanna know more about this powerful concept? Watch this video and find out!

My Take On "How To Become A Superager" Article
I usually don't like NY Times articles but I decided to take a look at this one (by recommendation of a friend) and I must say I was really surprised.
Maybe because it says everything I say in this channel? :)
Well... Nevermind.
Today we are going to talk about becoming Superagers and what should you do if you really want to accomplish that to your life.
"Why do some older people remain mentally nimble while others decline? "Superagers" (a term coined by the neurologist Marsel Mesulam) are those whose memory and attention isn't merely above average for their age, but is actually on par with healthy, active 25-year-olds. My colleagues and I at Massachusetts General Hospital recently studied superagers to understand what made them tick."

Should You Take ADHD Medication?
Technically, I have ADHD. I don't even know what that means, really.
As a kid, I recall getting kicked out of preschool. It was pretty silly - all just some sort of misunderstanding.
Apparently, or should I say "allegedly", I was pulling some girls hair and I was climbing up the bookcases and jumping from bookcase to bookcase, pretending like I was a monkey.
It didn't take them very long before they figured out I needed to be on Ritalin.
But the Ritalin didn't last long. I quickly rejected it.
Even at a young age, I knew that I didn't want to be controlled by some medication.
I wanted to be me. Even if that meant that I was a human pretending to be a dog pretending to be a human, I needed to bark at any adult who tried to talk to me, and I needed to do this without breaking the role for at least two days straight.
So, should you consider taking ADHD medication? Watch this video to discover what it can do for you and how you can channel this activity to something productive in your life.

Top 10 C++ Books (Beginner & Advanced)
So, a lot of you guys requested a Top 10 C++ Books and well... There you have it!
Lately, I've been doing a lot of different Top Books on my channel. I figured it is an awesome way of providing a good way to start for those who want to learn new programming languages or even for those people that want to study more about a specific language.
So, in this video I'll give you my Top 10 C++ Books. This will be an awesome resource for those who want to learn C++, especially nowadays if a lot of information overload. Having focus and knowing where you want to go will definitely make a big difference on how fast you'll learn C++
If you don't know, C++ is one of the most popular programming languages nowadays. It is a robust language and here are only a few of its pros:
- Is extremely popular, and therefore lots of support is available.
- Has a large base of freely available code for download, while also supporting direct integration with ASM and C.
- Is very powerful, and can be used to create just about any program, including low-level system programs.
- There is a compiler for C++ on every major operating system. C++ programs that are purposely written for portability will work on many major operating systems with little change in code.
- C++ is a language which is compiled (transformed from human readable code to low-level machine code), so it can often run faster than languages such as Java, Python, and C#; as it does not depend on an interpreter or a "run-time environment" which must be loaded beforehand.
- Has a long established usage base that likely guarantees support for the language will continue for quite some time.
- Many languages are based off of C/C++, such as Java, so knowledge in C++ will make it easier to understand these languages.
- Has a relatively small associated C++ Standard Library as compared to languages such as Java's Standard Platform SDK or C#'s .NET Framework, permitting greater versatility and reducing the system footprint of resulting compilations.
- Has been standardized by the International Standards Association as ISO/IEC 14882 with significant versions of the standard released in 1998, 2003 and 2011.
- Has a significant number of open source libraries available, including the Boost which are freely and widely available.

"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."
Do you wanna know if Grit is worth the reading? Watch this video and find out!

"On Liberty" Book Review
Recently, I read a very good book that I thought it would be good to do a review about it. The book is called "On Liberty". Here is the description, extracted from Amazon:
"Discussed and debated from time immemorial, the concept of personal liberty went without codification until the 1859 publication of On Liberty. John Stuart Mill's complete and resolute dedication to the cause of freedom inspired this treatise, an enduring work through which the concept remains well known and studied.
The British economist, philosopher, and ethical theorist's argument does not focus on "the so-called Liberty of the Will…but Civil, or Social Liberty: the nature and limits of the power which can be legitimately exercised by society over the individual." Mill asks and answers provocative questions relating to the boundaries of social authority and individual sovereignty. In powerful and persuasive prose, he declares that there is "one very simple principle" regarding the use of coercion in society - one may only coerce others either to defend oneself or to defend others from harm.
The new edition offers students of political science and philosophy, in an inexpensive volume, one of the most influential studies on the nature of individual liberty and its role in a democratic society."

People Are Asking Me For References... Should I Give Them Out?
Recently, I did a video about if you should give people references. In that video, I talked about the importance of knowing when and how to give references, especially if you're talking about job references.
So, in that video I received a question from a subscriber asking the following:
"John, what about the other way? If recruiters call you and ask for 3 references without placing you on a job, should you give them out? I have declined so far and told them that I don't give references and they've been ok with that because they had lengthy conversations with me and know that I know my stuff - can you do a video on this if possible? Thanks!"
