A Few Valuable Pieces of Advice That Will Help You on Your Travels Through Life
Never get into a physical fight, except your life is in definite danger. The consequences can be life changing.
There are lots of fighting videos on the internet, but they never show the consequences, hours, days, months later. Usually the police get involved, and in extreme cases the loser may die. It may be months later, but you may be held liable. You may claim self-defense, yet it may involve protracted legal problems.
The regrettable thing is that conflicts are usually over some silly issues, like ego, insult or road rage. Once a conflict appear to be reaching face off. Leave. The worst thing about knocking someone unconscious is the time you wait for the person to come to recover. Sometimes, it doesn’t happen.

Stop Engaging With Online Content That Makes You Angry
”Some poor, phoneless fool is probably sitting next to a waterfall somewhere totally unaware of how angry and scared he’s supposed to be.” -Duncan Trussell
We all get baited into clicking on content that makes us angry, or fuels “our side” of a contentious topic. The problem is that once you start engaging with “rage bait” content (politics, culture war, news, etc) the social media algorithms, which aren’t that bright yet, assume this is ALL you want to see.

Why Does Chess Have A Women’s Division?
Chess game is dominated by men players so gender-divided rankings and tournaments are there to encourage and promote chess amongst girls and women.
As there are very few female chess players in comparison to men, the said factors contribute to creating female role models, female champions, etc. It’s not meant to discriminate but to promote chess amongst girls, especially because it might be somewhat intimidating to enter a sport mostly dominated by men.

After a decade of setting goals every year and never achieving them, here’s what finally clicked:
High performers are successful as a result of consistent action, not intense effort.
This single realization led me to a framework for building habits that has changed my life.
Working from home last year made me realize that at 27, I had no good habits and zero self-discipline.
I was going to bed after 3am and sleeping past noon.
I wasn’t working out consistently.
I was browsing Reddit and watching Netflix for up to 10 hours a day.
I wasn’t doing any of the work needed to build my business…
I hated myself. The more promises I broke, the more worthless I felt, and the louder the voice in my head became:
Why can’t I fix this?
Why am I so weak?
This is how my dreams die.

Moccamaster – Makes top notch drip coffee and it’s built like a tank with copper plumbing and super beefy electrical parts, and it gets the water hot enough and brews fast enough, consistently, over time.
I have had the luxury of my Moccamaster for over 3 years now. I have become accustomed to a certain level of coffee that even espresso can’t touch. Need I say more?!? This level of brilliance will spoil you to the point that no other coffee will compare. The quality of machinery and materials are bar none.
