The four philosophy:
This is the only book my sons must read. We have this book. With this book you can deal with any situation with less pain more control.



No shame because in this deterministic universe controlled by conditions arising, you have absolutely no choice in what you do. Intrinsically linked to Learned Optimism by Martin Seligman.






You have to control your material world first in order to be happy. There is no other way.The world demand people that are good. To be good at anything you must put in 10,000 hours.\
- Be the best, and the world comes knocking at your door.
- Work through the pain, because the reward is waiting for you further down the road.

Deliberate practice is the only technique to reach the best.


The four practice:

Karate builds your character and confidence. With karate you can confront any problem.



I have played chess, go, philosophy, enlightenment,
psychology, poetry, karate, bridge, computational fluid dynamics, quantum theory, xbox, hacking, game programming, women, all of them are roughly the same if you look deep enough. Oracle is the best toy because it is quite inexhaustable, only need a laptop, and you can make lots of money playing it.


Poker no limit holdem contains the essence of all human interactions. Know poker know people.
And emotion is always started by other people, then know poker know emotion.
Know also game theory.And you have to a 40% bad guy to survive in this world. Watch Chronicles of Riddick.

Mindfulness for many years is still the most effective stress buster.
