(Most Important)
FIGHT BULLIES
If you know how to fight bullies and work hard: then you will enjoy all the good things life can give, else you will be a janitor.
Karate is your guardian:
If you forget everything, only need to remember karate.
Game theory:
Tells you why you need to be half mean, how to play every game of human.
Why need to fight bully. Why craziness has benefit. Why need to withhold information and deceive.
It is all about people trying to get the maximum benefit. Tit for tat, chickens game.
The second most important thing to karate.
Be half evil, then only you have no stress and can fight:
Good is usually weak. Power comes from evil side. Only evil can fight evil.
Satan, even with teeth knocked out, welcome pain, with a satanic smile, bully back the bully.
Watch movies about half evil people in order to soak in their archetype energy into yourself.
Watch Black Swan, Pitch Black, 300, Crows Zero II movie.
Read Baki the son of Ogre, Karate Shoukoushi Kohinata Minoru, Shamo.
The demon you swallow gives you its power. - Joseph Campbell
Discovered on 1 10 11 11pm
Thick black theory:
Thick skin black heart is the only method of all heroes.
With skin you go anywhere you’ll be better off than other people.
It is linked to half evil.
Fight bullies even if sure loose:
If you dont fight bullies you will suicide or mass shooting.
Fighting bullies is painful, but if you avoid fighting it is more painful.
This is the secret, Bullies actually dont like fighting.
If you fight them, give them a hard time, they will sure stop picking on you.
Fight people to establish respect:
This is a necessary process. Read game theory.
You have to always fight first to establish respect from the bullies.
In work, love, friendship, everywhere, everytime.
In war, don’t care about your injuries:
This is one of the most important principle to know.
If you care about your injury, you will loose your will to fight.
Just like in karate sparring.
Counterbluff blatantly to be right even if not:
All bullies must bluff to bully you if they cant use fist.
You must fight back by blatantly bluff back to gain their respect.
Only bluff enemies, bluff friends sparingly.
In karate sparring, you do feigning also.
Bombastic bluff that you are better than others:
To protect your turf against bullies, you must have pride over them else you cant attack.
Bluff yourself blatantly that you are better than them.
Vit B so wont have stress:
It is very important to eat vitamin b complex when fighting.
This immunes you from stress of fighting enemy.
But vitamin can cause heatiness, ulcer, shoulder pain.
So tune its usage, and use backnobber or vacuum cups, and cooling tea.
Press into the muscle knot hard for 1 minute to relax it.
Half fight friends with trash talking:
Sometimes need to maintain relationship with friends and bullies.
You cannot fight them fully. So you half fight them.
Tease them and half scold them with smile.
Trash talk and clowning without resorting to shouting.
Look at the mammals, they bang each other to establish boundaries.
Misc techniques of fighting bullies:
Find a emotional weak spot, unbalance the bully with anger and frustration.
Fight bluff with counterbluff, play poker to practice.
Always use “you”, focus on the enemy, never on yourself.
Have to half play in fighting, else it is too stressful.
Sometimes be difficult, crazy, irrational and threatening.
Play poker so you know people:
Because from poker bluffing you can see most of the time people bluff to get what they want.
And you can counter bluff blatantly back to them.
The only theory that explains people is game theory, not religion.
Pretend that the pain is trivial like Crows Zero II:
So you can fight with maximum efficiency and wont be bog down by stress.
Sun Tzu Art of War:
With it you know how to fight in any situation.
WORK HARD TO GET A SCARCE SKILL
Hard work to reduce suffering:
Study hard to be the best:
To have knowlege, to be the best and scarce in what you do is the only way to be happy.
This is the iron law of the universe.
Money will come to you and people wont bully you.
In student times, the engineers are studying, the janitors are playing outside.
Later grow up, the janitors work hard but earn little with a very painful life.
This is trading small pain for very big pain.
Be the expert in a complicated subject where few people can do.
Find that gate that blocks majority of people out because it requires hard work.
Field like programming, engineering and law.
You have to stick through the pain and get permanent happiness.
Read the book The Dip.
Deliberate practice:
You need 10,000 hours to be master in anything.
Complicated subjects is made up of many easy pieces.
You don’t have to work hard, you only need to spend time with it.
GM knows 100,000 chess patterns, IM knows 10,000 patterns. Ordinary people know 1000 pattern.
GM are not smarter, they only spend time to know more patterns.
Reward yourself after work.:
Give small reward to yourself after every hard work or fight enemy.
This is the secret to discipline.
Use xiangqi as a small reward, it is the best game ever invented.
Break big task into smaller ones:
Then handle it one by one. Set a time limit.
It is important to know to break difficult task into small and easy parts.
This is the secret to hard work and fight bullies.
(Study technique)
Knowing how to study is the difference between doctors and janitors.
Find good beginner books by reading the reviews in Amazon.com.
Get an overview first. Scan the book first. Understand the subject before going into the details.
Note down your questions to refer back later.
Break it into smaller parts.
Read other books if you cant understand a book.
Do sample exam questions.
Do it slowly first.
To memorize something, vizualize without looking at the book.

Let the subject grow into you. You become the subject.
Ignore other people.
(Misc)
You can pretend the difficulty is easy.
Watch Crows Zero II.
Xiangqi:
This is the best game ever.
Helps you get detachment.
Watch youku.com for the commentaries of Lee Piau, also in our portable drive.
Dont believe in the spiritual and religion that doesnt work:
Religion cant work because it seek pleasure first without gaining power.
If you seek religion, you are doing something wrong fighting bullies and being the best.
Read the sex scandals of spiritual gurus in Stripping the Gurus book.
There is proof for life after death.
Watch "The Day I Died" BBC documentary in youtube.com.
Woman who is blind in near death experience can see objects.
Woman in coma can see the surgeon’s tool.
Lucidology 101 contains the best out of body methods.
You can contact evidential mediums in the USA if love one dies.
Google up Laurie Campbell, Mollie Morning Star, Allison Dubois.
Spotting: Look around and noticed things, spotting precise points
And moving briskly from one point to the next.
We leave our perception on automatic and they tend to introvert.
It will lift you up when you are tired or repeating flash backs.
Keep warm during sleep, keep cold before sleep:
cannot let body get cold during sleep, must wear t shirt.
This is super important affecting energy and courage.
But it wear t shirt before sleep, the body get too hot and cannot sleep.
Solution is naked before sleep, put a t shit at head side for easy reach,
At midnight grab the t shit and wear in bed.
Drink hot ginger tea to raise body temperature above 36.5C.
Low body temperature cause body cells to be inactive and cause disease.
Depression, shoulder pain, diabetes, low energy.
Accept and use opposites.
Bad and good, hard work and relax, revenge and forgive, pride and humility.
Like a spring, softness give you recoil, hardness give you impact.
Too hard and you are brittle. Too soft and you are walking mat.
You have to be half hard half soft, like samurai sword with iron and carbon.
How to decide which opposite to use? The judgement is whether it make you win or not.

Bare pain:
To be powerful, you need to be able to overcome problems, this involves baring pain
Watch Sumo and Seals training in youtube.
Hard to explain, pain gives a kind of exalted strength and flow to life.
Read Baki the Son of Ogre manga in youtube. Especially on Hanayama vs Speck.
Watch initiation ceremonies of the african tribes. Read the The Art of Manliness in internet.

Do yoga cobra a lot to relax the chest, because we tend to slouch if stressed.
Do yoga forward bend to release stress.
Vit B to cure depression and fear and low energy.
Vit b complex can cause shoulder pain or no sleep.

Buteyko Breathing:
Give you energy, cure all your sickness, why yoga works.
Increase your co2 so oxygen can be release into your cells.
Breath in less than 10% so you feel like out of breath. Do it for 3 minutes.
Increase your body temperature also so you have energy.
Play:
The essence of winning behaviour is relaxed enjoyment. Playing the game.
Winning is the object of the game, it is not the object of playing the game.
The more the competitor enjoys and attributes significance to the play itself, the more likely he is to win. Reframe it as rock climbing or poker. Play, so you wont be burned out.
Paradoxical detachment:
Detach so you wont stress out with you 50% loss.
It is like putting oil into your engine.
It is paradoxical because the more you detach, the better you are at your job.
Use weiqi or movie to detach yourself.
If shoulder pain, maybe from eating vit b, press hard into the painful spot for 1 minute,
to induce the muscle to relax. Use Backnoober.
Use malay bekam to suck out dead blood.
Tumo meditation dont have to eat for months.
Garlic can cure cancer and everything.
Sleep well can cure depression. If you dont sleep well, it is easy for you to have fear.
All you negative emotion is ALWAYS the result of another person trying to invade you.
Bullies always use bluff.
Fight bullies will cause them to back off and only then you will have peace.
Dont go there and sit and meditate, it will never work.
Know complicated subjects are evolution of nature into the metaphysical realm.
Looking at Oracle or Labview is same as looking at a forest.
Reading a luminous math book is like switch on the light in a dark room, is the greatest joy.
The patterns are beautiful. They are not dry.
Watch movie is a good therapy to relieve the stress.
The distance, the darkness activate parasymphathetic.
And give the brain a vacation.
Programming is the best because it is actually playing a big toy.
The best path is start game programming when you are 8 years old.
Get a couple of professional certifications when 12 years old, like Oracle OCA, Cisco CCNA.
Get into Google or Facebook, earn $20,000 a month.

(Quotes)
"Create a Threatening Presence: Deterrence Strategies.[1] Make people think they will lose, bluff if needed. People want an easy victory and will not attack if they think they will lose.
Reverse Intimidation. 1) Make bold manoeuvres and bluff wisely, 2) be a threat, make sudden moves, imply aggression, 3) move irrationally, create unpredictability, act crazy, 4) Feed your opponent's paranoia by indicating capabilities that they are afraid of, 5) maintain a bad reputation, mean, nasty and non-negotiable."
-33 Strategies of War book Wiki
"By giving into the bully, Billy taught Ryan that his intimidating behaviour was okay. Standing up to him early, even if it meant being beaten up, would have been better than spending a whole year in pain. Almost all bullies pick on people who wont fight back. They use intimidation and are rarely interested in real conflict."
– The Survivor Personality book
"When you submit to an aggressors or to an unjust and impossible situation. You do not buy yourself any real peace. You encourage people to go further, to take more from you, to use you for their own purposes. They sense your lack of self respect and they feel justified in mistreating you. You must develop the opposite – a fighting stance that comes from deep within and cannot be shaken. You force some respect. This comes from your attitude - fearless and always prepared to fight. It radiates outward and can be read in you’re a manner without you having to speak a word. By a paradoxical law of human nature, trying to please people less will make them ore likely in the long run to respect and treat you better. The is inner strength, however, does not come naturally. What is required is some experience. This means that in your daily life you must assert yourself more than usual.
– The 50th Law book.
"Survivors puzzled me at first. They are serious and humours, hard working and lazy, self confident and self critical. They are not one way or the other, they are both one way and the other.

- The Survivor Personality book
"karate spirit is of great importance. No matter who wins or loses, dies or stays alive, - most important is training, process, fight and the "Way" itself. When you are free from idea of winning and losing, you are immersed in the spirit of Budo and enjoy every moment of the Way, irrespective of winning or losing. Hear these words and you will become great karateka."
-Anon
"If competence is attained, Winning will follow.
There is no reason to disparage the desirability of winning. What is necessary, however, is to recognize that although winning is the object of the game, it is not the object of playing the game. page 39
The more the competitor enjoys and attributes significance to the play itself, the more likely he is to win. The essence of winning behaviour is relaxed enjoyment, playing the game. page 40
A number of balances must be struck: between aggressiveness and passivity, between greed and complacency, between impulsivity and intellectualization. most races, and all series demand these balances, demand equanimity, but there are times and places for marked variation from the happy medium. page 119"

“In japan the important thing is to continue, no matter how bad you are, or how bad you feel you are, you continue.
In kendo, if you get hurt, it is not so much your body get hurt, its your ego.
If you want to overcome others, you must first overcome yourself, your own weakness.
Kendo and zen basically have the purpose, is that it destroys the ego. “

“There is this feeling of exhilaration in striving forward despite the overwhelming obstacles and pain, even definite loss. This is the defiance God loves.” – Bubul
“Maturity is a big part of success in fighting, because it means you understand the game - That losing is part of the game. It doesn’t mean to let yourself get conquered, but to know that you can win again, at the right time you can be great. The key to doing well in competition is to accept.
Accept you can lose, you can not perform. Take this big bag of rocks out of your backpack, take the pressure off, and you'll do better. Once you understand that, man, you can do welll. - Ricardo Liborio.
Everyone has stuff they get nervous about, their personal shit, and if you hang around long enough they'll volunteer.
But Phil hasn't made peace with it. When I goof on him, he'll get mad.
In one press conference, Phil was almost in tears, I get what Frank is about. He's not picking on Phil out of nowhere, he's not just an asshole. Mental toughness is on the table.
Now he is not in a peaceful mind, ready to fight. Now he is somewhere else, some other issue from when he was a kid. He's not focused on the task or the goal.
I talk to people during fights the whole time. - Frank Shamrock on his shit talking.
Greg is a diehard advocate of learning to function under duress. The idea is to develop resistance to

unfamiliar thing. -Greg Jackson

"A man in the latter stages of ordeal starts to realize that his manhood and deep inner satisfaction comes from finding purpose, not pleasure. He realizes that manhood does not consist in avoiding pain. He sees that the pleasures that he strived for no longer have meaning. Addictions have lost their allure. He realizes there is no 'right' woman that will make life bearable. There are only fantasies of women.
When I talked in the last chapter of the death of the ego I was talking of the movement of the initiate into a space where he is not in control, and his ego is frustrated. During initiation his ego needs for pleasure and his ego needs for status and power are ignored. The adolescent, by moving into the wilderness and away from the marketplace, assume a very lowly position. The elder has purposely put the boy in a space where he is ritually humiliated. He has done this to teach him humility.
In ancient initiation, a boy is purposely and ritually humiliated. His healthy adolescent boisterousness and cockiness is confronted. He is shown that the world does not revolve around his pleasure needs, as in the maternal world, or his power needs as in the paternal world. He is shown that his true power and identity resides beyond his own ego control and needs. His natural ego development is pushed to the next level.

"18. All warfare is based on deception. 19. Hence, when able to attack, we must seem unable; when using our forces, we must seem inactive; when we are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away; when far away, we must make him believe we are near.
1 Sun Tzu said: The art of war is of vital importance to the State. #
2 It is a matter of life and death, a road either to safety or to ruin. Hence it is a subject of inquiry which can on no account be neglected.
22 If your opponent is of choleric temper, seek to irritate him. Pretend to be weak, that he may grow arrogant.
23 If he is taking his ease, give him no rest. #
If his forces are united, separate them. #
1 Sun Tzu said: The good fighters of old first put themselves beyond the possibility of defeat, and then waited for an opportunity of defeating the enemy. # 2 To secure ourselves against defeat lies in our own hands, but the opportunity of defeating the enemy is provided by the enemy himself. #
5 In all fighting, the direct method may be used for joining battle, but indirect methods will be needed in order to secure victory. #
6 Indirect tactics, efficiently applied, are inexhaustible as Heaven and Earth, unending as the flow of rivers and streams; like the sun and moon, they end but to begin anew; like the four seasons, they pass away to return once more. #
7 You can be sure of succeeding in your attacks if you only attack places which are undefended. #
9 O divine art of subtlety and secrecy! Through you we learn to be invisible, through you inaudible; #
12 If we do not wish to fight, we can prevent the enemy from engaging us even though the lines of our encampment be merely traced out on the ground. All we need do is to throw something odd and unaccountable in his way. #
If the enemy's dispositions are visible, we can make for him in one body; whereas, our own dispositions being kept secret, the enemy will be obliged to divide his forces in order to guard against attack from every quarter."
17 For should the enemy strengthen his van, he will weaken his rear; should he strengthen his rear, he will weaken his van; should he strengthen his left, he will weaken his right; should he strengthen his right, he will weaken his left. If he sends reinforcements everywhere, he will everywhere be weak.
30 So in war, the way is to avoid what is strong and to strike at what is weak. #Like water, taking the line of least resistance.
12 If we do not wish to fight, we can prevent the enemy from engaging us even though the lines of our encampment be merely traced out on the ground. All we need do is to throw something odd and unaccountable in his way.
# There are five dangerous faults which may affect a general: (1) Recklessness, which leads to destruction;(2) cowardice, which leads to capture;(3) a hasty temper, which can be provoked by insults;(4) a delicacy of honor which is sensitive to shame;(5) over-solicitude for his men, which exposes him to worry and trouble.
Keep your army continually on the move, and devise unfathomable plans. # "
-Sun Tzu
"To play a game is great .
To win a game is greater.
To love the game is the greatest." – Unknown
“Why is it good to be half mean:
The power of the prisoners’ dilemma paradigm extends even to evolutionary
biology. When humans play games, we usually assume that we rationally choose whatever strategy maximizes our payoff. Biologists sometimes apply game theory to animals and assume that the animals’ genes dictate how they play their games.17 Imagine that some creatures are repeatedly playing the prisoners’ dilemma game in Figure 44. A
creature’s genes will tell it to play either nice or mean. The creatures receive food as their payoff. The more food a creature has, the more offspring it produces, and the more its genes will spread. The genes that are best for playing the game will survive while those that receive consistently poor scores will become extinct.
Imagine that there are two colonies of creatures separated by some considerable distance. In one colony all the creatures have genes telling them to play nice, while in the other, the genes dictate that the creatures be mean. The offspring in both of these colonies would always have the same genes as their parents. The creatures in both colonies repeatedly play the prisoners’ dilemma game in Figure 44.
The nice colony would appear to have an advantage. Because everyone in this colony is always nice to each other, everyone gets a payoff of 5 foods each round. In the mean colony everyone always gets a payoff of only one food. The nice colony should expand relative to the mean colony. The colony of the creatures with mean genes, however, has one
critical advantage over their nicer rivals. Consider what happens when the nice colony expands to the edge of the means and competes directly against them. The mean creatures will do very well in this game, and the nice creatures will die. When the nice colony creatures play only against each other, they beat the mean colony. When they play against the mean creatures, however, the mean creatures dominate. This contest between nice and mean shows that nice guys finish
first only when they don’t have to compete against mean people.
Why is good to be crazy sometimes:
Games of Chicken
In the classic game of chicken, shown in Figure 24, two cars drive straight toward each other. The first driver who turns loses. Of course,if neither car swerves then both drivers lose even more. The best outcome for a player results when he goes straight and his opponent turns. In this situation the winning driver will be known as macho while the
other driver will be considered wimpy. The worst outcome for either player manifests when an accident is caused by both drivers going straight. Consequently, a rational player will turn if he believes that his opponent is going to drive straight.
In a chicken game, therefore, you win by convincing your rival that you will never turn.6 Consequently, perception is reality in the game of chicken. Chicken is not just a game about who is more macho, but also about who more exudes an air of machismo. Each player wants the other to believe that he is so macho that he would rather die than give
in. If you can convince your opponent that you are indeed macho, you will win the game and thus be proven macho.
Insane players have a massive edge in the classic chicken game, for would you ever want to prove that you are more willing to risk death than a crazy person is? What if you suffer from the handicap of being considered sensible, however?”
- Game Theory At Work by James Miller
“Last year, more tl1an forty-two thousand people graduated from law school in the United States. And thirty-seven of them were awarded Supreme Court clerkships. Those thirty-seven people are essentially guaranteed a job for life after they finish their year with the Court. Top law firms routinely pay a signing bonus of $200,000 or more to any clerk they are able to hire. Clerks go on to become partners, judges, and senators. There are two things worth noting here. The first is that Hannah Smith isn't lucky at all. She's smart and focused and incredibly hardworking. And the second thing? That anyone of the forty-two thousand people who graduated from law school last year could have had Hannah's job. Except they didn't. Not because they weren't smart enough or because they came from the wrong family. No, the reason that most of them didn't have a chance is that somewhere along the way they quit. They didn't quit high school or college or law school. Instead, they quit in their quest to be the best in the world because the cost just seemed too high.
The Reason Number One Matters
People don't have a lot of time and don't want to take a lot of risks. If you've been diagnosed with cancer of the navel, you're not going to mess around by going to a lot of doctors. You're going to head straight for the "top guy," the person who's ranked the best in the world. Why screw around ifyou get only one chance?
Being at the top matters because there's room at the top for only a few. Scarcity I makes being ot the top worth srmletbing. There are hundreds of brands of bottled water, and they're all mostly the same. So we don't shop around for bottled water. There is no top for bottled water. Champagne is a different story. Dam Perignon is at or near the top, so we pay extra for it.
Where does the scarcity Come from? It comes from the hurdles that the markets and our society set up. It comes from the fact that most competitors quit long before they've created something that makes it to the top. That's the way it's
supposed to be. The system depends on it.
With limited time or opportunity to experiment, we intentionally narrow our choices to those at the top. You're not the only person who looks for the best choice. Everyone does. As a result, the rewards for being first are enormous. It's not a linear scale. It's not a matter of getting a little more after giving a little more. It's a curve, and a steep one.
The Dip is the long slog between starting and mastery. A long slog that's actually a shortcut, because it gets you where you want to go faster than any other path. The Dip is the combination of bureaucracy and busywork you must deal with in order to get certified in scuba diving. The Dip is the difference between the easy "beginner" technique and the mare useful "ex-pert" approach in skiing or fashion design.
If you took organic chemistry in college, you've e),-perienced the Dip. Academia doesn't want too many unmotivated people to attempt medical school, so they set up a screen. Organic chemistry is the killer class, the screen that separates the doctors from the psychologists. If you can't handle organic chemistry, well, then, you can't go to med school”
- The Dip by Seth Godin
"When I was young I had no sense of myself. All I was, was a product of all the fear and humiliation I suffered. Fear of my parents. The humiliation of teachers calling me “garbage can” and telling me I’d be mowing lawns for a living. And the very real terror of my fellow students. I was threatened and beaten up for the color of my skin and my size.
It wasn’t until my late twenties that I learned that by working out I had given myself a great gift. I learned that nothing good comes without work and a certain amount of pain.
The Iron had taught me how to live. Life is capable of driving you out of your mind. The way it all comes down these days, it’s some kind of miracle if you’re not insane. People have become separated from their bodies. They are no longer whole.
I see them move from their offices to their cars and on to their suburban homes. They stress out constantly, they lose sleep, they eat badly. And they behave badly. Their egos run wild; they become motivated by that which will eventually give them a massive stroke. They need the Iron Mind.
Through the years, I have combined meditation, action, and the Iron into a single strength. I believe that when the body is strong, the mind thinks strong thoughts. Time spent away from the Iron makes my mind degenerate. I wallow in a thick depression. My body shuts down my mind.
The Iron never lies to you. You can walk outside and listen to all kinds of talk, get told that you’re a god or a total bastard. The Iron will always kick you the real deal. The Iron is the great reference point, the all-knowing perspective giver."
-Iron and the soul by Henry Rollins
I didn’t find out just because I was dumb. I searched so hard
for years, and didn’t care about anything except finding it.
Once, when I was thinking about the three kingdoms, I suddenly
realized – all the heroes in history have nothing more than Thick
Face and Black Heart.
Amongst the heroes during the three kingdoms, the first is Cao
Cao.
His personality was all black heart. He killed Lu Boshe, killed
Kong Rong, killed Yang Xiu, Killed Dong Chengfuwan. Then
he killed the queen and the prince. He dared to do anything.
He even said “I’d rather betray everyone in the world instead of
others betraying me.”
His heart was so black that nobody could ever reach it. That’s
why he became a hero on top at that time.
The second one should be Liu Bei.
It was all about thick face in his personality. He depended on
Cao Cao, depended on Lu Bu, depended on Liu Biao, depending
on Cun Qan, depended on Yuan Shao. He went to so many
places, lived in other peoples houses – and didn’t feel ashamed
about it.
And he liked crying all throughout his life.
In the stories of the three kingdoms it was portrayed so vividly.
He cried to everyone when he met problems he couldn’t solve.
Then, the failure became an achievement. So people said “Liu
Bei cried his kingdom up”. It’s also an ability.
Cao Cao and he were absolutely on the top of thick and black.
They were talking about heroes while boiling wine. One had
the most black heart, one had the thickest face – but they both
couldn’t help it.
We can see all the people around them. They all were not thick
and black enough. That’s why Cao Cao said to Liu Bei, “There
are only two heroes in the world. Me and you.”
Xiang Yu was a hero who could lift a mountain, and who could
cover the sky. Thousands of people died when he shouted, but
why did he die in the east city and get laughed at by the world?
The reason why he failed – it’s like what Han Xin said,
“Women’s kindness and men’s braveness”.
It included everything. Women are kind because they can’t
take the cruel things around. As his heart wasn’t black.
Men are brave because they can’t take other people’s insult, as
his face was not thick.
In the story of the Hongmen feast, Xiang Yu and Liu Bang were
sitting together. Xiang Yu already took the sword out. What
he needed to do was just push it into Liu Bang – then he could
be emperor right away. But he hesitated and didn’t do
anything and allowed Liu Bang to escape.
In the story of the failure in Gaixia, if he could go over Wujiang
river, and did things right from the beginning, he could have
been the winner.But he said, “Eight thousand people of this land went over the
river to the west. Nobody came back today but this land and
the people love me and treet me so well – how can I sit here and
not feel guilt about it?”
All these talks were so wrong! He said he couldn’t lose his
face. He said he was guilty for what he had done.
-Thick Black Theory
Study hard to get a difficult skill
Be half evil
Fight people to get respect
In war, don’t care about your injury
Counterbluff blatantly to be confident and right even if not
Pretend it is easy and normal, pretend it is rock climbing like Crows Zero II
Trash talk, and make peace with your shit so you won’t be affected by enemies.
Vit B, Backnobber, life after death, Crows Zero II
(Most Important)
FIGHT BULLIES
If you know how to fight bullies and work hard: then you will enjoy all the good things life can give, else you will be a janitor.
Karate is your guardian:
If you forget everything, only need to remember karate.
Game theory:
Tells you why you need to be half mean, how to play every game of human.
Why need to fight bully. Why craziness has benefit. Why need to withhold information and deceive.
It is all about people trying to get the maximum benefit. Tit for tat, chickens game.
The second most important thing to karate.
Be half evil, then only you have no stress and can fight:
Good is usually weak. Power comes from evil side. Only evil can fight evil.
Satan, even with teeth knocked out, welcome pain, with a satanic smile, bully back the bully.
Watch movies about half evil people in order to soak in their archetype energy into yourself.
Watch Black Swan, Pitch Black, 300, Crows Zero II movie.
Read Baki the son of Ogre, Karate Shoukoushi Kohinata Minoru, Shamo.
The demon you swallow gives you its power. - Joseph Campbell
Discovered on 1 10 11 11pm
Thick black theory:
Thick skin black heart is the only method of all heroes.
With skin you go anywhere you’ll be better off than other people.
It is linked to half evil.
Fight bullies even if sure loose:
If you dont fight bullies you will suicide or mass shooting.
Fighting bullies is painful, but if you avoid fighting it is more painful.
This is the secret, Bullies actually dont like fighting.
If you fight them, give them a hard time, they will sure stop picking on you.
Fight people to establish respect:
This is a necessary process. Read game theory.
You have to always fight first to establish respect from the bullies.
In work, love, friendship, everywhere, everytime.
In war, don’t care about your injuries:
This is one of the most important principle to know.
If you care about your injury, you will loose your will to fight.
Just like in karate sparring.
Counterbluff blatantly to be right even if not:
All bullies must bluff to bully you if they cant use fist.
You must fight back by blatantly bluff back to gain their respect.
Only bluff enemies, bluff friends sparingly.
In karate sparring, you do feigning also.
Bombastic bluff that you are better than others:
To protect your turf against bullies, you must have pride over them else you cant attack.
Bluff yourself blatantly that you are better than them.
Vit B so wont have stress:
It is very important to eat vitamin b complex when fighting.
This immunes you from stress of fighting enemy.
But vitamin can cause heatiness, ulcer, shoulder pain.
So tune its usage, and use backnobber or vacuum cups, and cooling tea.
Press into the muscle knot hard for 1 minute to relax it.
Half fight friends with trash talking:
Sometimes need to maintain relationship with friends and bullies.
You cannot fight them fully. So you half fight them.
Tease them and half scold them with smile.
Trash talk and clowning without resorting to shouting.
Look at the mammals, they bang each other to establish boundaries.
Misc techniques of fighting bullies:
Find a emotional weak spot, unbalance the bully with anger and frustration.
Fight bluff with counterbluff, play poker to practice.
Always use “you”, focus on the enemy, never on yourself.
Have to half play in fighting, else it is too stressful.
Sometimes be difficult, crazy, irrational and threatening.
Play poker so you know people:
Because from poker bluffing you can see most of the time people bluff to get what they want.
And you can counter bluff blatantly back to them.
The only theory that explains people is game theory, not religion.
Pretend that the pain is trivial like Crows Zero II:
So you can fight with maximum efficiency and wont be bog down by stress.
Sun Tzu Art of War:
With it you know how to fight in any situation.
WORK HARD TO GET A SCARCE SKILL
Hard work to reduce suffering:
Study hard to be the best:
To have knowlege, to be the best and scarce in what you do is the only way to be happy.
This is the iron law of the universe.
Money will come to you and people wont bully you.
In student times, the engineers are studying, the janitors are playing outside.
Later grow up, the janitors work hard but earn little with a very painful life.
This is trading small pain for very big pain.
Be the expert in a complicated subject where few people can do.
Find that gate that blocks majority of people out because it requires hard work.
Field like programming, engineering and law.
You have to stick through the pain and get permanent happiness.
Read the book The Dip.
Deliberate practice:
You need 10,000 hours to be master in anything.
Complicated subjects is made up of many easy pieces.
You don’t have to work hard, you only need to spend time with it.
GM knows 100,000 chess patterns, IM knows 10,000 patterns. Ordinary people know 1000 pattern.
GM are not smarter, they only spend time to know more patterns.
Reward yourself after work.:
Give small reward to yourself after every hard work or fight enemy.
This is the secret to discipline.
Use xiangqi as a small reward, it is the best game ever invented.
Break big task into smaller ones:
Then handle it one by one. Set a time limit.
It is important to know to break difficult task into small and easy parts.
This is the secret to hard work and fight bullies.
(Study technique)
Knowing how to study is the difference between doctors and janitors.
Find good beginner books by reading the reviews in Amazon.com.
Get an overview first. Scan the book first. Understand the subject before going into the details.
Note down your questions to refer back later.
Break it into smaller parts.
Read other books if you cant understand a book.
Do sample exam questions.

Let the subject grow into you. You become the subject.
Ignore other people.
(Misc)
You can pretend the difficulty is easy.
Watch Crows Zero II.
Xiangqi:
This is the best game ever.
Helps you get detachment.
Watch youku.com for the commentaries of Lee Piau, also in our portable drive.
Dont believe in the spiritual and religion that doesnt work:
Religion cant work because it seek pleasure first without gaining power.
If you seek religion, you are doing something wrong fighting bullies and being the best.
Read the sex scandals of spiritual gurus in Stripping the Gurus book.
There is proof for life after death.
Watch "The Day I Died" BBC documentary in youtube.com.
Woman who is blind in near death experience can see objects.
Woman in coma can see the surgeon’s tool.
Lucidology 101 contains the best out of body methods.
You can contact evidential mediums in the USA if love one dies.
Google up Laurie Campbell, Mollie Morning Star, Allison Dubois.
Spotting: Look around and noticed things, spotting precise points
And moving briskly from one point to the next.
We leave our perception on automatic and they tend to introvert.
It will lift you up when you are tired or repeating flash backs.
Keep warm during sleep, keep cold before sleep:
cannot let body get cold during sleep, must wear t shirt.
This is super important affecting energy and courage.
But it wear t shirt before sleep, the body get too hot and cannot sleep.
Solution is naked before sleep, put a t shit at head side for easy reach,
At midnight grab the t shit and wear in bed.
Drink hot ginger tea to raise body temperature above 36.5C.
Low body temperature cause body cells to be inactive and cause disease.
Depression, shoulder pain, diabetes, low energy.
Accept and use opposites.
Bad and good, hard work and relax, revenge and forgive, pride and humility.
Like a spring, softness give you recoil, hardness give you impact.
Too hard and you are brittle. Too soft and you are walking mat.
You have to be half hard half soft, like samurai sword with iron and carbon.
How to decide which opposite to use? The judgement is whether it make you win or not.

Bare pain:
To be powerful, you need to be able to overcome problems, this involves baring pain
Watch Sumo and Seals training in youtube.
Hard to explain, pain gives a kind of exalted strength and flow to life.

Buteyko Breathing:
Give you energy, cure all your sickness, why yoga works.
Increase your co2 so oxygen can be release into your cells.
Breath in less than 10% so you feel like out of breath. Do it for 3 minutes.
Increase your body temperature also so you have energy.
Play:
The essence of winning behaviour is relaxed enjoyment. Playing the game.
Winning is the object of the game, it is not the object of playing the game.
The more the competitor enjoys and attributes significance to the play itself, the more likely he is to win. Reframe it as rock climbing or poker. Play, so you wont be burned out.
Paradoxical detachment:
Detach so you wont stress out with you 50% loss.
It is like putting oil into your engine.
It is paradoxical because the more you detach, the better you are at your job.
Use weiqi or movie to detach yourself.
If shoulder pain, maybe from eating vit b, press hard into the painful spot for 1 minute,
to induce the muscle to relax. Use Backnoober.
Use malay bekam to suck out dead blood.
Tumo meditation dont have to eat for months.
Garlic can cure cancer and everything.
Sleep well can cure depression. If you dont sleep well, it is easy for you to have fear.
All you negative emotion is ALWAYS the result of another person trying to invade you.
Bullies always use bluff.
Fight bullies will cause them to back off and only then you will have peace.
Dont go there and sit and meditate, it will never work.
Know complicated subjects are evolution of nature into the metaphysical realm.
Looking at Oracle or Labview is same as looking at a forest.
Reading a luminous math book is like switch on the light in a dark room, is the greatest joy.
The patterns are beautiful. They are not dry.
Watch movie is a good therapy to relieve the stress.
The distance, the darkness activate parasymphathetic.
And give the brain a vacation.
Programming is the best because it is actually playing a big toy.
The best path is start game programming when you are 8 years old.
Get a couple of professional certifications when 12 years old, like Oracle OCA, Cisco CCNA.
Get into Google or Facebook, earn $20,000 a month.

"Create a Threatening Presence: Deterrence Strategies.[1] Make people think they will lose, bluff if needed. People want an easy victory and will not attack if they think they will lose.
Reverse Intimidation. 1) Make bold manoeuvres and bluff wisely, 2) be a threat, make sudden moves, imply aggression, 3) move irrationally, create unpredictability, act crazy, 4) Feed your opponent's paranoia by indicating capabilities that they are afraid of, 5) maintain a bad reputation, mean, nasty and non-negotiable."
-33 Strategies of War book Wiki
"By giving into the bully, Billy taught Ryan that his intimidating behaviour was okay. Standing up to him early, even if it meant being beaten up, would have been better than spending a whole year in pain. Almost all bullies pick on people who wont fight back. They use intimidation and are rarely interested in real conflict."
– The Survivor Personality book
"When you submit to an aggressors or to an unjust and impossible situation. You do not buy yourself any real peace. You encourage people to go further, to take more from you, to use you for their own purposes. They sense your lack of self respect and they feel justified in mistreating you. You must develop the opposite – a fighting stance that comes from deep within and cannot be shaken. You force some respect. This comes from your attitude - fearless and always prepared to fight. It radiates outward and can be read in you’re a manner without you having to speak a word. By a paradoxical law of human nature, trying to please people less will make them ore likely in the long run to respect and treat you better. The is inner strength, however, does not come naturally. What is required is some experience. This means that in your daily life you must assert yourself more than usual.

"A man in the latter stages of ordeal starts to realize that his manhood and deep inner satisfaction comes from finding purpose, not pleasure. He realizes that manhood does not consist in avoiding pain. He sees that the pleasures that he strived for no longer have meaning. Addictions have lost their allure. He realizes there is no 'right' woman that will make life bearable. There are only fantasies of women.
When I talked in the last chapter of the death of the ego I was talking of the movement of the initiate into a space where he is not in control, and his ego is frustrated. During initiation his ego needs for pleasure and his ego needs for status and power are ignored. The adolescent, by moving into the wilderness and away from the marketplace, assume a very lowly position. The elder has purposely put the boy in a space where he is ritually humiliated. He has done this to teach him humility.
In ancient initiation, a boy is purposely and ritually humiliated. His healthy adolescent boisterousness and cockiness is confronted. He is shown that the world does not revolve around his pleasure needs, as in the maternal world, or his power needs as in the paternal world. He is shown that his true power and identity resides beyond his own ego control and needs. His natural ego development is pushed to the next level.

"18. All warfare is based on deception. 19. Hence, when able to attack, we must seem unable; when using our forces, we must seem inactive; when we are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away; when far away, we must make him believe we are near.
1 Sun Tzu said: The art of war is of vital importance to the State. #
2 It is a matter of life and death, a road either to safety or to ruin. Hence it is a subject of inquiry which can on no account be neglected.
22 If your opponent is of choleric temper, seek to irritate him. Pretend to be weak, that he may grow arrogant.
23 If he is taking his ease, give him no rest. #
If his forces are united, separate them. #
1 Sun Tzu said: The good fighters of old first put themselves beyond the possibility of defeat, and then waited for an opportunity of defeating the enemy. # 2 To secure ourselves against defeat lies in our own hands, but the opportunity of defeating the enemy is provided by the enemy himself. #
5 In all fighting, the direct method may be used for joining battle, but indirect methods will be needed in order to secure victory. #
6 Indirect tactics, efficiently applied, are inexhaustible as Heaven and Earth, unending as the flow of rivers and streams; like the sun and moon, they end but to begin anew; like the four seasons, they pass away to return once more. #
7 You can be sure of succeeding in your attacks if you only attack places which are undefended. #
9 O divine art of subtlety and secrecy! Through you we learn to be invisible, through you inaudible; #
12 If we do not wish to fight, we can prevent the enemy from engaging us even though the lines of our encampment be merely traced out on the ground. All we need do is to throw something odd and unaccountable in his way. #
If the enemy's dispositions are visible, we can make for him in one body; whereas, our own dispositions being kept secret, the enemy will be obliged to divide his forces in order to guard against attack from every quarter."
17 For should the enemy strengthen his van, he will weaken his rear; should he strengthen his rear, he will weaken his van; should he strengthen his left, he will weaken his right; should he strengthen his right, he will weaken his left. If he sends reinforcements everywhere, he will everywhere be weak.
30 So in war, the way is to avoid what is strong and to strike at what is weak. #Like water, taking the line of least resistance.
12 If we do not wish to fight, we can prevent the enemy from engaging us even though the lines of our encampment be merely traced out on the ground. All we need do is to throw something odd and unaccountable in his way.
# There are five dangerous faults which may affect a general: (1) Recklessness, which leads to destruction;(2) cowardice, which leads to capture;(3) a hasty temper, which can be provoked by insults;(4) a delicacy of honor which is sensitive to shame;(5) over-solicitude for his men, which exposes him to worry and trouble.
Keep your army continually on the move, and devise unfathomable plans. # "
-Sun Tzu
"To play a game is great .
To win a game is greater.
To love the game is the greatest." – Unknown
“Why is it good to be half mean:
The power of the prisoners’ dilemma paradigm extends even to evolutionary
biology. When humans play games, we usually assume that we rationally choose whatever strategy maximizes our payoff. Biologists sometimes apply game theory to animals and assume that the animals’ genes dictate how they play their games.17 Imagine that some creatures are repeatedly playing the prisoners’ dilemma game in Figure 44. A
creature’s genes will tell it to play either nice or mean. The creatures receive food as their payoff. The more food a creature has, the more offspring it produces, and the more its genes will spread. The genes that are best for playing the game will survive while those that receive consistently poor scores will become extinct.
Imagine that there are two colonies of creatures separated by some considerable distance. In one colony all the creatures have genes telling them to play nice, while in the other, the genes dictate that the creatures be mean. The offspring in both of these colonies would always have the same genes as their parents. The creatures in both colonies repeatedly play the prisoners’ dilemma game in Figure 44.
The nice colony would appear to have an advantage. Because everyone in this colony is always nice to each other, everyone gets a payoff of 5 foods each round. In the mean colony everyone always gets a payoff of only one food. The nice colony should expand relative to the mean colony. The colony of the creatures with mean genes, however, has one
critical advantage over their nicer rivals. Consider what happens when the nice colony expands to the edge of the means and competes directly against them. The mean creatures will do very well in this game, and the nice creatures will die. When the nice colony creatures play only against each other, they beat the mean colony. When they play against the mean creatures, however, the mean creatures dominate. This contest between nice and mean shows that nice guys finish
first only when they don’t have to compete against mean people.
Why is good to be crazy sometimes:
Games of Chicken
In the classic game of chicken, shown in Figure 24, two cars drive straight toward each other. The first driver who turns loses. Of course,if neither car swerves then both drivers lose even more. The best outcome for a player results when he goes straight and his opponent turns. In this situation the winning driver will be known as macho while the
other driver will be considered wimpy. The worst outcome for either player manifests when an accident is caused by both drivers going straight. Consequently, a rational player will turn if he believes that his opponent is going to drive straight.
In a chicken game, therefore, you win by convincing your rival that you will never turn.6 Consequently, perception is reality in the game of chicken. Chicken is not just a game about who is more macho, but also about who more exudes an air of machismo. Each player wants the other to believe that he is so macho that he would rather die than give
in. If you can convince your opponent that you are indeed macho, you will win the game and thus be proven macho.
Insane players have a massive edge in the classic chicken game, for would you ever want to prove that you are more willing to risk death than a crazy person is? What if you suffer from the handicap of being considered sensible, however?”
- Game Theory At Work by James Miller
“Last year, more tl1an forty-two thousand people graduated from law school in the United States. And thirty-seven of them were awarded Supreme Court clerkships. Those thirty-seven people are essentially guaranteed a job for life after they finish their year with the Court. Top law firms routinely pay a signing bonus of $200,000 or more to any clerk they are able to hire. Clerks go on to become partners, judges, and senators. There are two things worth noting here. The first is that Hannah Smith isn't lucky at all. She's smart and focused and incredibly hardworking. And the second thing? That anyone of the forty-two thousand people who graduated from law school last year could have had Hannah's job. Except they didn't. Not because they weren't smart enough or because they came from the wrong family. No, the reason that most of them didn't have a chance is that somewhere along the way they quit. They didn't quit high school or college or law school. Instead, they quit in their quest to be the best in the world because the cost just seemed too high.
The Reason Number One Matters
People don't have a lot of time and don't want to take a lot of risks. If you've been diagnosed with cancer of the navel, you're not going to mess around by going to a lot of doctors. You're going to head straight for the "top guy," the person who's ranked the best in the world. Why screw around ifyou get only one chance?
Being at the top matters because there's room at the top for only a few. Scarcity I makes being ot the top worth srmletbing. There are hundreds of brands of bottled water, and they're all mostly the same. So we don't shop around for bottled water. There is no top for bottled water. Champagne is a different story. Dam Perignon is at or near the top, so we pay extra for it.
Where does the scarcity Come from? It comes from the hurdles that the markets and our society set up. It comes from the fact that most competitors quit long before they've created something that makes it to the top. That's the way it's
supposed to be. The system depends on it.
With limited time or opportunity to experiment, we intentionally narrow our choices to those at the top. You're not the only person who looks for the best choice. Everyone does. As a result, the rewards for being first are enormous. It's not a linear scale. It's not a matter of getting a little more after giving a little more. It's a curve, and a steep one.
The Dip is the long slog between starting and mastery. A long slog that's actually a shortcut, because it gets you where you want to go faster than any other path. The Dip is the combination of bureaucracy and busywork you must deal with in order to get certified in scuba diving. The Dip is the difference between the easy "beginner" technique and the mare useful "ex-pert" approach in skiing or fashion design.
If you took organic chemistry in college, you've e),-perienced the Dip. Academia doesn't want too many unmotivated people to attempt medical school, so they set up a screen. Organic chemistry is the killer class, the screen that separates the doctors from the psychologists. If you can't handle organic chemistry, well, then, you can't go to med school”
- The Dip by Seth Godin
"When I was young I had no sense of myself. All I was, was a product of all the fear and humiliation I suffered. Fear of my parents. The humiliation of teachers calling me “garbage can” and telling me I’d be mowing lawns for a living. And the very real terror of my fellow students. I was threatened and beaten up for the color of my skin and my size.
It wasn’t until my late twenties that I learned that by working out I had given myself a great gift. I learned that nothing good comes without work and a certain amount of pain.
The Iron had taught me how to live. Life is capable of driving you out of your mind. The way it all comes down these days, it’s some kind of miracle if you’re not insane. People have become separated from their bodies. They are no longer whole.
I see them move from their offices to their cars and on to their suburban homes. They stress out constantly, they lose sleep, they eat badly. And they behave badly. Their egos run wild; they become motivated by that which will eventually give them a massive stroke. They need the Iron Mind.
Through the years, I have combined meditation, action, and the Iron into a single strength. I believe that when the body is strong, the mind thinks strong thoughts. Time spent away from the Iron makes my mind degenerate. I wallow in a thick depression. My body shuts down my mind.
The Iron never lies to you. You can walk outside and listen to all kinds of talk, get told that you’re a god or a total bastard. The Iron will always kick you the real deal. The Iron is the great reference point, the all-knowing perspective giver."
-Iron and the soul by Henry Rollins
I didn’t find out just because I was dumb. I searched so hard
for years, and didn’t care about anything except finding it.
Once, when I was thinking about the three kingdoms, I suddenly
realized – all the heroes in history have nothing more than Thick
Face and Black Heart.
Amongst the heroes during the three kingdoms, the first is Cao
Cao.
His personality was all black heart. He killed Lu Boshe, killed
Kong Rong, killed Yang Xiu, Killed Dong Chengfuwan. Then
he killed the queen and the prince. He dared to do anything.
He even said “I’d rather betray everyone in the world instead of
others betraying me.”
His heart was so black that nobody could ever reach it. That’s
why he became a hero on top at that time.
The second one should be Liu Bei.
It was all about thick face in his personality. He depended on
Cao Cao, depended on Lu Bu, depended on Liu Biao, depending
on Cun Qan, depended on Yuan Shao. He went to so many
places, lived in other peoples houses – and didn’t feel ashamed
about it.
And he liked crying all throughout his life.
In the stories of the three kingdoms it was portrayed so vividly.
He cried to everyone when he met problems he couldn’t solve.
Then, the failure became an achievement. So people said “Liu
Bei cried his kingdom up”. It’s also an ability.
Cao Cao and he were absolutely on the top of thick and black.
They were talking about heroes while boiling wine. One had
the most black heart, one had the thickest face – but they both
couldn’t help it.
We can see all the people around them. They all were not thick
and black enough. That’s why Cao Cao said to Liu Bei, “There
are only two heroes in the world. Me and you.”
Xiang Yu was a hero who could lift a mountain, and who could
cover the sky. Thousands of people died when he shouted, but
why did he die in the east city and get laughed at by the world?
The reason why he failed – it’s like what Han Xin said,
“Women’s kindness and men’s braveness”.
It included everything. Women are kind because they can’t
take the cruel things around. As his heart wasn’t black.
Men are brave because they can’t take other people’s insult, as
his face was not thick.
In the story of the Hongmen feast, Xiang Yu and Liu Bang were
sitting together. Xiang Yu already took the sword out. What
he needed to do was just push it into Liu Bang – then he could
be emperor right away. But he hesitated and didn’t do
anything and allowed Liu Bang to escape.
In the story of the failure in Gaixia, if he could go over Wujiang
river, and did things right from the beginning, he could have
been the winner.But he said, “Eight thousand people of this land went over the
river to the west. Nobody came back today but this land and
the people love me and treet me so well – how can I sit here and
not feel guilt about it?”
All these talks were so wrong! He said he couldn’t lose his
face. He said he was guilty for what he had done.

Bombastic bluff that you are better than others
Half fight friends with trash talk.
Make peace with your shit so you won’t be affected by enemies.

Vit B, Backnobber, life after death, Crows Zero II
(Most Important)
FIGHT BULLIES
If you know how to fight bullies and work hard: then you will enjoy all the good things life can give, else you will be a janitor.

Why need to fight bully. Why craziness has benefit. Why need to withhold information and deceive.
It is all about people trying to get the maximum benefit. Tit for tat, chickens game.
The second most important thing to karate.
Be half evil, then only you have no stress and can fight:
Good is usually weak. Power comes from evil side. Only evil can fight evil.
Satan, even with teeth knocked out, welcome pain, with a satanic smile, bully back the bully.
Watch movies about half evil people in order to soak in their archetype energy into yourself.
Watch Black Swan, Pitch Black, 300, Crows Zero II movie.
Read Baki the son of Ogre, Karate Shoukoushi Kohinata Minoru, Shamo.
The demon you swallow gives you its power. - Joseph Campbell
Discovered on 1 10 11 11pm
Thick black theory:
Thick skin black heart is the only method of all heroes.
With skin you go anywhere you’ll be better off than other people.
It is linked to half evil.
Fight bullies even if sure loose:
If you dont fight bullies you will suicide or mass shooting.
Fighting bullies is painful, but if you avoid fighting it is more painful.
This is the secret, Bullies actually dont like fighting.
If you fight them, give them a hard time, they will sure stop picking on you.

Counterbluff blatantly to be right even if not:
All bullies must bluff to bully you if they cant use fist.
You must fight back by blatantly bluff back to gain their respect.
Only bluff enemies, bluff friends sparingly.
Bombastic bluff that you are better than others:
To protect your turf against bullies, you must have pride over them else you cant attack.
Bluff yourself blatantly that you are better than them.
Vit B so wont have stress:
It is very important to eat vitamin b complex when fighting.
This immunes you from stress of fighting enemy.
But vitamin can cause heatiness, ulcer, shoulder pain.
So tune its usage, and use backnobber or vacuum cups, and cooling tea.
Press into the muscle knot hard for 1 minute to relax it.
Half fight friends with trash talking:
Sometimes need to maintain relationship with friends and bullies.
You cannot fight them fully. So you half fight them.
Tease them and half scold them with smile.
Trash talk and clowning without resorting to shouting.
Look at the mammals, they bang each other to establish boundaries.
Misc techniques of fighting bullies:
Find a emotional weak spot, unbalance the bully with anger and frustration.
Fight bluff with counterbluff, play poker to practice.
Always use “you”, focus on the enemy, never on yourself.
Have to half play in fighting, else it is too stressful.
Sometimes be difficult, crazy, irrational and threatening.
Play poker so you know people:
Because from poker bluffing you can see most of the time people bluff to get what they want.
And you can counter bluff blatantly back to them.
The only theory that explains people is game theory, not religion.
Pretend that the pain is trivial like Crows Zero II:
So you can fight with maximum efficiency and wont be bog down by stress.
Sun Tzu Art of War:
With it you know how to fight in any situation.
WORK HARD TO GET A SCARCE SKILL

Study hard to be the best:
To have knowlege, to be the best and scarce in what you do is the only way to be happy.
This is the iron law of the universe.
Money will come to you and people wont bully you.
In student times, the engineers are studying, the janitors are playing outside.
Later grow up, the janitors work hard but earn little with a very painful life.
This is trading small pain for very big pain.
Be the expert in a complicated subject where few people can do.
Find that gate that blocks majority of people out because it requires hard work.
Field like programming, engineering and law.
You have to stick through the pain and get permanent happiness.
Read the book The Dip.
Deliberate practice:
You need 10,000 hours to be master in anything.
Complicated subjects is made up of many easy pieces.
You don’t have to work hard, you only need to spend time with it.
GM knows 100,000 chess patterns, IM knows 10,000 patterns. Ordinary people know 1000 pattern.
GM are not smarter, they only spend time to know more patterns.
Reward yourself after work.:
Give small reward to yourself after every hard work or fight enemy.
This is the secret to discipline.
Use xiangqi as a small reward, it is the best game ever invented.

Watch youku.com for the commentaries of Lee Piau, also in our portable drive.
Dont believe in the spiritual and religion that doesnt work:
Religion cant work because it seek pleasure first without gaining power.
If you seek religion, you are doing something wrong fighting bullies and being the best.
Read the sex scandals of spiritual gurus in Stripping the Gurus book.
There is proof for life after death.
Watch "The Day I Died" BBC documentary in youtube.com.
Woman who is blind in near death experience can see objects.
Woman in coma can see the surgeon’s tool.
Lucidology 101 contains the best out of body methods.
You can contact evidential mediums in the USA if love one dies.
Google up Laurie Campbell, Mollie Morning Star, Allison Dubois.
Spotting: Look around and noticed things, spotting precise points
And moving briskly from one point to the next.
We leave our perception on automatic and they tend to introvert.
It will lift you up when you are tired or repeating flash backs.
Keep warm during sleep, keep cold before sleep:
cannot let body get cold during sleep, must wear t shirt.
This is super important affecting energy and courage.
But it wear t shirt before sleep, the body get too hot and cannot sleep.
Solution is naked before sleep, put a t shit at head side for easy reach,
At midnight grab the t shit and wear in bed.
Drink hot ginger tea to raise body temperature above 36.5C.
Low body temperature cause body cells to be inactive and cause disease.
Depression, shoulder pain, diabetes, low energy.
Accept and use opposites.
Bad and good, hard work and relax, revenge and forgive, pride and humility.
Like a spring, softness give you recoil, hardness give you impact.
Too hard and you are brittle. Too soft and you are walking mat.
You have to be half hard half soft, like samurai sword with iron and carbon.
How to decide which opposite to use? The judgement is whether it make you win or not.

Play:
The essence of winning behaviour is relaxed enjoyment. Playing the game.
Winning is the object of the game, it is not the object of playing the game.
The more the competitor enjoys and attributes significance to the play itself, the more likely he is to win. Reframe it as rock climbing or poker. Play, so you wont be burned out.
Paradoxical detachment:
Detach so you wont stress out with you 50% loss.
It is like putting oil into your engine.
It is paradoxical because the more you detach, the better you are at your job.
Use weiqi or movie to detach yourself.
If shoulder pain, maybe from eating vit b, press hard into the painful spot for 1 minute,
to induce the muscle to relax. Use Backnoober.
Use malay bekam to suck out dead blood.
Tumo meditation dont have to eat for months.
Garlic can cure cancer and everything.
Sleep well can cure depression. If you dont sleep well, it is easy for you to have fear.
All you negative emotion is ALWAYS the result of another person trying to invade you.

"Create a Threatening Presence: Deterrence Strategies.[1] Make people think they will lose, bluff if needed. People want an easy victory and will not attack if they think they will lose.
Reverse Intimidation. 1) Make bold manoeuvres and bluff wisely, 2) be a threat, make sudden moves, imply aggression, 3) move irrationally, create unpredictability, act crazy, 4) Feed your opponent's paranoia by indicating capabilities that they are afraid of, 5) maintain a bad reputation, mean, nasty and non-negotiable."
-33 Strategies of War book Wiki
"By giving into the bully, Billy taught Ryan that his intimidating behaviour was okay. Standing up to him early, even if it meant being beaten up, would have been better than spending a whole year in pain. Almost all bullies pick on people who wont fight back. They use intimidation and are rarely interested in real conflict."
– The Survivor Personality book
"When you submit to an aggressors or to an unjust and impossible situation. You do not buy yourself any real peace. You encourage people to go further, to take more from you, to use you for their own purposes. They sense your lack of self respect and they feel justified in mistreating you. You must develop the opposite – a fighting stance that comes from deep within and cannot be shaken. You force some respect. This comes from your attitude - fearless and always prepared to fight. It radiates outward and can be read in you’re a manner without you having to speak a word. By a paradoxical law of human nature, trying to please people less will make them ore likely in the long run to respect and treat you better. The is inner strength, however, does not come naturally. What is required is some experience. This means that in your daily life you must assert yourself more than usual.
– The 50th Law book.

"karate spirit is of great importance. No matter who wins or loses, dies or stays alive, - most important is training, process, fight and the "Way" itself. When you are free from idea of winning and losing, you are immersed in the spirit of Budo and enjoy every moment of the Way, irrespective of winning or losing. Hear these words and you will become great karateka."
-Anon
"If competence is attained, Winning will follow.
There is no reason to disparage the desirability of winning. What is necessary, however, is to recognize that although winning is the object of the game, it is not the object of playing the game. page 39
The more the competitor enjoys and attributes significance to the play itself, the more likely he is to win. The essence of winning behaviour is relaxed enjoyment, playing the game. page 40

"A man in the latter stages of ordeal starts to realize that his manhood and deep inner satisfaction comes from finding purpose, not pleasure. He realizes that manhood does not consist in avoiding pain. He sees that the pleasures that he strived for no longer have meaning. Addictions have lost their allure. He realizes there is no 'right' woman that will make life bearable. There are only fantasies of women.
When I talked in the last chapter of the death of the ego I was talking of the movement of the initiate into a space where he is not in control, and his ego is frustrated. During initiation his ego needs for pleasure and his ego needs for status and power are ignored. The adolescent, by moving into the wilderness and away from the marketplace, assume a very lowly position. The elder has purposely put the boy in a space where he is ritually humiliated. He has done this to teach him humility.
In ancient initiation, a boy is purposely and ritually humiliated. His healthy adolescent boisterousness and cockiness is confronted. He is shown that the world does not revolve around his pleasure needs, as in the maternal world, or his power needs as in the paternal world. He is shown that his true power and identity resides beyond his own ego control and needs. His natural ego development is pushed to the next level.

"18. All warfare is based on deception. 19. Hence, when able to attack, we must seem unable; when using our forces, we must seem inactive; when we are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away; when far away, we must make him believe we are near.
?1 Sun Tzu said: The art of war is of vital importance to the State. #
2 It is a matter of life and death, a road either to safety or to ruin. Hence it is a subject of inquiry which can on no account be neglected.
?22 If your opponent is of choleric temper, seek to irritate him. Pretend to be weak, that he may grow arrogant.
23 If he is taking his ease, give him no rest. #
If his forces are united, separate them. #
?1 Sun Tzu said: The good fighters of old first put themselves beyond the possibility of defeat, and then waited for an opportunity of defeating the enemy. # 2 To secure ourselves against defeat lies in our own hands, but the opportunity of defeating the enemy is provided by the enemy himself. #
?5 In all fighting, the direct method may be used for joining battle, but indirect methods will be needed in order to secure victory. #
6 Indirect tactics, efficiently applied, are inexhaustible as Heaven and Earth, unending as the flow of rivers and streams; like the sun and moon, they end but to begin anew; like the four seasons, they pass away to return once more. #
7 You can be sure of succeeding in your attacks if you only attack places which are undefended. #
9 O divine art of subtlety and secrecy! Through you we learn to be invisible, through you inaudible; #
12 If we do not wish to fight, we can prevent the enemy from engaging us even though the lines of our encampment be merely traced out on the ground. All we need do is to throw something odd and unaccountable in his way. #
If the enemy's dispositions are visible, we can make for him in one body; whereas, our own dispositions being kept secret, the enemy will be obliged to divide his forces in order to guard against attack from every quarter."
?17 For should the enemy strengthen his van, he will weaken his rear; should he strengthen his rear, he will weaken his van; should he strengthen his left, he will weaken his right; should he strengthen his right, he will weaken his left. If he sends reinforcements everywhere, he will everywhere be weak.
30 So in war, the way is to avoid what is strong and to strike at what is weak. #Like water, taking the line of least resistance.
?12 If we do not wish to fight, we can prevent the enemy from engaging us even though the lines of our encampment be merely traced out on the ground. All we need do is to throw something odd and unaccountable in his way.
# There are five dangerous faults which may affect a general: (1) Recklessness, which leads to destruction;(2) cowardice, which leads to capture;(3) a hasty temper, which can be provoked by insults;(4) a delicacy of honor which is sensitive to shame;(5) over-solicitude for his men, which exposes him to worry and trouble.
Keep your army continually on the move, and devise unfathomable plans. # "

Study hard to get a scarce skill
Fight people to establish respect
Counterbluff blatantly to be right even if not

(Most Important)
FIGHT BULLIES
If you know how to fight bullies and work hard: then you will enjoy all the good things life can give, else you will be a janitor.
Karate is your guardian:
If you forget everything, only need to remember karate.
Game theory:
Tells you why you need to be half mean, how to play every game of human.
Why need to fight bully. Why craziness has benefit. Why need to withhold information and deceive.
It is all about people trying to get the maximum benefit. Tit for tat, chickens game.
The second most important thing to karate.
Be half evil, then only you have no stress and can fight:
Good is usually weak. Power comes from evil side. Only evil can fight evil.
Satan, even with teeth knocked out, welcome pain, with a satanic smile, bully back the bully.
Watch movies about half evil people in order to soak in their archetype energy into yourself.
Watch Black Swan, Pitch Black, 300, Crows Zero II movie.
Read Baki the son of Ogre, Karate Shoukoushi Kohinata Minoru, Shamo.
The demon you swallow gives you its power. - Joseph Campbell
Discovered on 1 10 11 11pm
Thick black theory:
Thick skin black heart is the only method of all heroes.
With skin you go anywhere you’ll be better off than other people.
It is linked to half evil.
Fight bullies even if sure loose:
If you dont fight bullies you will suicide or mass shooting.
Fighting bullies is painful, but if you avoid fighting it is more painful.
This is the secret, Bullies actually dont like fighting.
If you fight them, give them a hard time, they will sure stop picking on you.
Fight people to establish respect:
This is a necessary process. Read game theory.
You have to always fight first to establish respect from the bullies.
In work, love, friendship, everywhere, everytime.
Counterbluff blatantly to be right even if not:
All bullies must bluff to bully you if they cant use fist.
You must fight back by blatantly bluff back to gain their respect.
Only bluff enemies, bluff friends sparingly.
Bombastic bluff that you are better than others:
To protect your turf against bullies, you must have pride over them else you cant attack.
Bluff yourself blatantly that you are better than them.
Vit B so wont have stress:
It is very important to eat vitamin b complex when fighting.
This immunes you from stress of fighting enemy.
But vitamin can cause heatiness, ulcer, shoulder pain.
So tune its usage, and use backnobber or vacuum cups, and cooling tea.
Press into the muscle knot hard for 1 minute to relax it.
Half fight friends with trash talking:
Sometimes need to maintain relationship with friends and bullies.
You cannot fight them fully. So you half fight them.
Tease them and half scold them with smile.
Trash talk and clowning without resorting to shouting.
Look at the mammals, they bang each other to establish boundaries.
Misc techniques of fighting bullies:
Find a emotional weak spot, unbalance the bully with anger and frustration.
Fight bluff with counterbluff, play poker to practice.
Always use “you”, focus on the enemy, never on yourself.
Have to half play in fighting, else it is too stressful.
Sometimes be difficult, crazy, irrational and threatening.
Play poker so you know people:
Because from poker bluffing you can see most of the time people bluff to get what they want.
And you can counter bluff blatantly back to them.
The only theory that explains people is game theory, not religion.
Pretend that the pain is trivial like Crows Zero II:
So you can fight with maximum efficiency and wont be bog down by stress.
Sun Tzu Art of War:
With it you know how to fight in any situation.
WORK HARD TO GET A SCARCE SKILL
Hard work to reduce suffering:
Study hard to be the best:
To have knowlege, to be the best and scarce in what you do is the only way to be happy.
This is the iron law of the universe.
Money will come to you and people wont bully you.
In student times, the engineers are studying, the janitors are playing outside.
Later grow up, the janitors work hard but earn little with a very painful life.
This is trading small pain for very big pain.
Be the expert in a complicated subject where few people can do.
Find that gate that blocks majority of people out because it requires hard work.
Field like programming, engineering and law.
You have to stick through the pain and get permanent happiness.
Read the book The Dip.
Deliberate practice:
You need 10,000 hours to be master in anything.
Complicated subjects is made up of many easy pieces.
You don’t have to work hard, you only need to spend time with it.
GM knows 100,000 chess patterns, IM knows 10,000 patterns. Ordinary people know 1000 pattern.
GM are not smarter, they only spend time to know more patterns.
Reward yourself after work.:
Give small reward to yourself after every hard work or fight enemy.
This is the secret to discipline.
Use xiangqi as a small reward, it is the best game ever invented.
Break big task into smaller ones:
Then handle it one by one. Set a time limit.
It is important to know to break difficult task into small and easy parts.
This is the secret to hard work and fight bullies.
(Study technique)
Knowing how to study is the difference between doctors and janitors.
Find good beginner books by reading the reviews in Amazon.com.
Get an overview first. Scan the book first. Understand the subject before going into the details.
Note down your questions to refer back later.
Break it into smaller parts.
Read other books if you cant understand a book.
Do sample exam questions.
Do it slowly first.
To memorize something, vizualize without looking at the book.
Can visualize means already memorized.
Memorization is not useless, it builds neuron paths and then IQ.
Always read good beginners book first to builds intuitive understanding.
Dont read reference books first, it will kill your passion.
Use google search type "best books calculus”.
Internet amazon.com, search for 4 stars books and read the amazon comments.
Know how to research to solve problems.
Use internet search engine like Google or Yahoo.
Ask questions about life in internet forums like Oracle forum or Low Yatt forum.

Just practice, practice, practice.
Live with subject. Stay with the subjec. Love the subject.
Let the subject grow into you. You become the subject.
Ignore other people.
(Misc)
You can pretend the difficulty is easy.
Watch Crows Zero II.
Xiangqi:
This is the best game ever.
Helps you get detachment.
Watch youku.com for the commentaries of Lee Piau, also in our portable drive.
Dont believe in the spiritual and religion that doesnt work:
Religion cant work because it seek pleasure first without gaining power.
If you seek religion, you are doing something wrong fighting bullies and being the best.
Read the sex scandals of spiritual gurus in Stripping the Gurus book.
There is proof for life after death.
Watch "The Day I Died" BBC documentary in youtube.com.
Woman who is blind in near death experience can see objects.
Woman in coma can see the surgeon’s tool.
Lucidology 101 contains the best out of body methods.
You can contact evidential mediums in the USA if love one dies.
Google up Laurie Campbell, Mollie Morning Star, Allison Dubois.
Spotting: Look around and noticed things, spotting precise points
And moving briskly from one point to the next.
We leave our perception on automatic and they tend to introvert.
It will lift you up when you are tired or repeating flash backs.
Keep warm during sleep, keep cold before sleep:
cannot let body get cold during sleep, must wear t shirt.
This is super important affecting energy and courage.
But it wear t shirt before sleep, the body get too hot and cannot sleep.
Solution is naked before sleep, put a t shit at head side for easy reach,
At midnight grab the t shit and wear in bed.
Drink hot ginger tea to raise body temperature above 36.5C.
Low body temperature cause body cells to be inactive and cause disease.
Depression, shoulder pain, diabetes, low energy.
Accept and use opposites.
Bad and good, hard work and relax, revenge and forgive, pride and humility.
Like a spring, softness give you recoil, hardness give you impact.
Too hard and you are brittle. Too soft and you are walking mat.
You have to be half hard half soft, like samurai sword with iron and carbon.
How to decide which opposite to use? The judgement is whether it make you win or not.
http://artofmanliness.com
Bare pain:
To be powerful, you need to be able to overcome problems, this involves baring pain
Watch Sumo and Seals training in youtube.
Hard to explain, pain gives a kind of exalted strength and flow to life.
Read Baki the Son of Ogre manga in youtube. Especially on Hanayama vs Speck.
Watch initiation ceremonies of the african tribes. Read the The Art of Manliness in internet.
Knowing how to bare pain separate the real man from the girls.
Shikodachi and yoga:
Stand in shikodachi to release stress.
Do yoga cobra a lot to relax the chest, because we tend to slouch if stressed.
Do yoga forward bend to release stress.
Vit B to cure depression and fear and low energy.
Vit b complex can cause shoulder pain or no sleep.
Eat for a few days, stop for a few days, tune the timing.
Before exam don’t eat Vitamin B for 2 days because you may have problem sleeping.
At the morning of the exam, eat it for energy.
Buteyko Breathing:
Give you energy, cure all your sickness, why yoga works.
Increase your co2 so oxygen can be release into your cells.
Breath in less than 10% so you feel like out of breath. Do it for 3 minutes.
Increase your body temperature also so you have energy.
Play:
The essence of winning behaviour is relaxed enjoyment. Playing the game.
Winning is the object of the game, it is not the object of playing the game.
The more the competitor enjoys and attributes significance to the play itself, the more likely he is to win. Reframe it as rock climbing or poker. Play, so you wont be burned out.
Paradoxical detachment:
Detach so you wont stress out with you 50% loss.
It is like putting oil into your engine.
It is paradoxical because the more you detach, the better you are at your job.
Use weiqi or movie to detach yourself.
If shoulder pain, maybe from eating vit b, press hard into the painful spot for 1 minute,
to induce the muscle to relax. Use Backnoober.
Use malay bekam to suck out dead blood.
Tumo meditation dont have to eat for months.
Garlic can cure cancer and everything.
Sleep well can cure depression. If you dont sleep well, it is easy for you to have fear.
All you negative emotion is ALWAYS the result of another person trying to invade you.
Bullies always use bluff.
Fight bullies will cause them to back off and only then you will have peace.
Dont go there and sit and meditate, it will never work.
Know complicated subjects are evolution of nature into the metaphysical realm.
Looking at Oracle or Labview is same as looking at a forest.
Reading a luminous math book is like switch on the light in a dark room, is the greatest joy.
The patterns are beautiful. They are not dry.
Watch movie is a good therapy to relieve the stress.
The distance, the darkness activate parasymphathetic.
And give the brain a vacation.
Programming is the best because it is actually playing a big toy.
The best path is start game programming when you are 8 years old.
Get a couple of professional certifications when 12 years old, like Oracle OCA, Cisco CCNA.
Get into Google or Facebook, earn $20,000 a month.

(Quotes)
"Create a Threatening Presence: Deterrence Strategies.[1] Make people think they will lose, bluff if needed. People want an easy victory and will not attack if they think they will lose.
Reverse Intimidation. 1) Make bold manoeuvres and bluff wisely, 2) be a threat, make sudden moves, imply aggression, 3) move irrationally, create unpredictability, act crazy, 4) Feed your opponent's paranoia by indicating capabilities that they are afraid of, 5) maintain a bad reputation, mean, nasty and non-negotiable."
-33 Strategies of War book Wiki
"By giving into the bully, Billy taught Ryan that his intimidating behaviour was okay. Standing up to him early, even if it meant being beaten up, would have been better than spending a whole year in pain. Almost all bullies pick on people who wont fight back. They use intimidation and are rarely interested in real conflict."
– The Survivor Personality book
"When you submit to an aggressors or to an unjust and impossible situation. You do not buy yourself any real peace. You encourage people to go further, to take more from you, to use you for their own purposes. They sense your lack of self respect and they feel justified in mistreating you. You must develop the opposite – a fighting stance that comes from deep within and cannot be shaken. You force some respect. This comes from your attitude - fearless and always prepared to fight. It radiates outward and can be read in you’re a manner without you having to speak a word. By a paradoxical law of human nature, trying to please people less will make them ore likely in the long run to respect and treat you better. The is inner strength, however, does not come naturally. What is required is some experience. This means that in your daily life you must assert yourself more than usual.
– The 50th Law book.

- The Survivor Personality book
"karate spirit is of great importance. No matter who wins or loses, dies or stays alive, - most important is training, process, fight and the "Way" itself. When you are free from idea of winning and losing, you are immersed in the spirit of Budo and enjoy every moment of the Way, irrespective of winning or losing. Hear these words and you will become great karateka."
-Anon
"If competence is attained, Winning will follow.
There is no reason to disparage the desirability of winning. What is necessary, however, is to recognize that although winning is the object of the game, it is not the object of playing the game. page 39
The more the competitor enjoys and attributes significance to the play itself, the more likely he is to win. The essence of winning behaviour is relaxed enjoyment, playing the game. page 40
A number of balances must be struck: between aggressiveness and passivity, between greed and complacency, between impulsivity and intellectualization. most races, and all series demand these balances, demand equanimity, but there are times and places for marked variation from the happy medium. page 119"

"A man in the latter stages of ordeal starts to realize that his manhood and deep inner satisfaction comes from finding purpose, not pleasure. He realizes that manhood does not consist in avoiding pain. He sees that the pleasures that he strived for no longer have meaning. Addictions have lost their allure. He realizes there is no 'right' woman that will make life bearable. There are only fantasies of women.
When I talked in the last chapter of the death of the ego I was talking of the movement of the initiate into a space where he is not in control, and his ego is frustrated. During initiation his ego needs for pleasure and his ego needs for status and power are ignored. The adolescent, by moving into the wilderness and away from the marketplace, assume a very lowly position. The elder has purposely put the boy in a space where he is ritually humiliated. He has done this to teach him humility.
In ancient initiation, a boy is purposely and ritually humiliated. His healthy adolescent boisterousness and cockiness is confronted. He is shown that the world does not revolve around his pleasure needs, as in the maternal world, or his power needs as in the paternal world. He is shown that his true power and identity resides beyond his own ego control and needs. His natural ego development is pushed to the next level.

"Create a Threatening Presence: Deterrence Strategies.[1] Make people think they will lose, bluff if needed. People want an easy victory and will not attack if they think they will lose.
Reverse Intimidation. 1) Make bold manoeuvres and bluff wisely, 2) be a threat, make sudden moves, imply aggression, 3) move irrationally, create unpredictability, act crazy, 4) Feed your opponent's paranoia by indicating capabilities that they are afraid of, 5) maintain a bad reputation, mean, nasty and non-negotiable."
-33 Strategies of War book Wiki
"By giving into the bully, Billy taught Ryan that his intimidating behaviour was okay. Standing up to him early, even if it meant being beaten up, would have been better than spending a whole year in pain. Almost all bullies pick on people who wont fight back. They use intimidation and are rarely interested in real conflict."
– The Survivor Personality book
"When you submit to an aggressors or to an unjust and impossible situation. You do not buy yourself any real peace. You encourage people to go further, to take more from you, to use you for their own purposes. They sense your lack of self respect and they feel justified in mistreating you. You must develop the opposite – a fighting stance that comes from deep within and cannot be shaken. You force some respect. This comes from your attitude - fearless and always prepared to fight. It radiates outward and can be read in you’re a manner without you having to speak a word. By a paradoxical law of human nature, trying to please people less will make them ore likely in the long run to respect and treat you better. The is inner strength, however, does not come naturally. What is required is some experience. This means that in your daily life you must assert yourself more than usual.
– The 50th Law book.
"Survivors puzzled me at first. They are serious and humours, hard working and lazy, self confident and self critical. They are not one way or the other, they are both one way and the other.

- The Survivor Personality book
"karate spirit is of great importance. No matter who wins or loses, dies or stays alive, - most important is training, process, fight and the "Way" itself. When you are free from idea of winning and losing, you are immersed in the spirit of Budo and enjoy every moment of the Way, irrespective of winning or losing. Hear these words and you will become great karateka."
-Anon
"If competence is attained, Winning will follow.
There is no reason to disparage the desirability of winning. What is necessary, however, is to recognize that although winning is the object of the game, it is not the object of playing the game. page 39
The more the competitor enjoys and attributes significance to the play itself, the more likely he is to win. The essence of winning behaviour is relaxed enjoyment, playing the game. page 40
A number of balances must be struck: between aggressiveness and passivity, between greed and complacency, between impulsivity and intellectualization. most races, and all series demand these balances, demand equanimity, but there are times and places for marked variation from the happy medium. page 119"

In kendo, if you get hurt, it is not so much your body get hurt, its your ego.
If you want to overcome others, you must first overcome yourself, your own weakness.
Kendo and zen basically have the purpose, is that it destroys the ego. “

“There is this feeling of exhilaration in striving forward despite the overwhelming obstacles and pain, even definite loss. This is the defiance God loves.” – Bubul
“Maturity is a big part of success in fighting, because it means you understand the game - That losing is part of the game. It doesn’t mean to let yourself get conquered, but to know that you can win again, at the right time you can be great. The key to doing well in competition is to accept.
Accept you can lose, you can not perform. Take this big bag of rocks out of your backpack, take the pressure off, and you'll do better. Once you understand that, man, you can do welll. - Ricardo Liborio.
Everyone has stuff they get nervous about, their personal shit, and if you hang around long enough they'll volunteer.
But Phil hasn't made peace with it. When I goof on him, he'll get mad.
In one press conference, Phil was almost in tears, I get what Frank is about. He's not picking on Phil out of nowhere, he's not just an asshole. Mental toughness is on the table.
Now he is not in a peaceful mind, ready to fight. Now he is somewhere else, some other issue from when he was a kid. He's not focused on the task or the goal.

Greg is a diehard advocate of learning to function under duress. The idea is to develop resistance to

"A man in the latter stages of ordeal starts to realize that his manhood and deep inner satisfaction comes from finding purpose, not pleasure. He realizes that manhood does not consist in avoiding pain. He sees that the pleasures that he strived for no longer have meaning. Addictions have lost their allure. He realizes there is no 'right' woman that will make life bearable. There are only fantasies of women.
When I talked in the last chapter of the death of the ego I was talking of the movement of the initiate into a space where he is not in control, and his ego is frustrated. During initiation his ego needs for pleasure and his ego needs for status and power are ignored. The adolescent, by moving into the wilderness and away from the marketplace, assume a very lowly position. The elder has purposely put the boy in a space where he is ritually humiliated. He has done this to teach him humility.
In ancient initiation, a boy is purposely and ritually humiliated. His healthy adolescent boisterousness and cockiness is confronted. He is shown that the world does not revolve around his pleasure needs, as in the maternal world, or his power needs as in the paternal world. He is shown that his true power and identity resides beyond his own ego control and needs. His natural ego development is pushed to the next level.

"18. All warfare is based on deception. 19. Hence, when able to attack, we must seem unable; when using our forces, we must seem inactive; when we are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away; when far away, we must make him believe we are near.
?1 Sun Tzu said: The art of war is of vital importance to the State. #
2 It is a matter of life and death, a road either to safety or to ruin. Hence it is a subject of inquiry which can on no account be neglected.
?22 If your opponent is of choleric temper, seek to irritate him. Pretend to be weak, that he may grow arrogant.
23 If he is taking his ease, give him no rest. #
If his forces are united, separate them. #
?1 Sun Tzu said: The good fighters of old first put themselves beyond the possibility of defeat, and then waited for an opportunity of defeating the enemy. # 2 To secure ourselves against defeat lies in our own hands, but the opportunity of defeating the enemy is provided by the enemy himself. #
?5 In all fighting, the direct method may be used for joining battle, but indirect methods will be needed in order to secure victory. #
6 Indirect tactics, efficiently applied, are inexhaustible as Heaven and Earth, unending as the flow of rivers and streams; like the sun and moon, they end but to begin anew; like the four seasons, they pass away to return once more. #
7 You can be sure of succeeding in your attacks if you only attack places which are undefended. #
9 O divine art of subtlety and secrecy! Through you we learn to be invisible, through you inaudible; #
12 If we do not wish to fight, we can prevent the enemy from engaging us even though the lines of our encampment be merely traced out on the ground. All we need do is to throw something odd and unaccountable in his way. #
If the enemy's dispositions are visible, we can make for him in one body; whereas, our own dispositions being kept secret, the enemy will be obliged to divide his forces in order to guard against attack from every quarter."
?17 For should the enemy strengthen his van, he will weaken his rear; should he strengthen his rear, he will weaken his van; should he strengthen his left, he will weaken his right; should he strengthen his right, he will weaken his left. If he sends reinforcements everywhere, he will everywhere be weak.
30 So in war, the way is to avoid what is strong and to strike at what is weak. #Like water, taking the line of least resistance.
?12 If we do not wish to fight, we can prevent the enemy from engaging us even though the lines of our encampment be merely traced out on the ground. All we need do is to throw something odd and unaccountable in his way.
# There are five dangerous faults which may affect a general: (1) Recklessness, which leads to destruction;(2) cowardice, which leads to capture;(3) a hasty temper, which can be provoked by insults;(4) a delicacy of honor which is sensitive to shame;(5) over-solicitude for his men, which exposes him to worry and trouble.
Keep your army continually on the move, and devise unfathomable plans. # "

"Create a Threatening Presence: Deterrence Strategies.[1] Make people think they will lose, bluff if needed. People want an easy victory and will not attack if they think they will lose.
Reverse Intimidation. 1) Make bold manoeuvres and bluff wisely, 2) be a threat, make sudden moves, imply aggression, 3) move irrationally, create unpredictability, act crazy, 4) Feed your opponent's paranoia by indicating capabilities that they are afraid of, 5) maintain a bad reputation, mean, nasty and non-negotiable."
-33 Strategies of War book Wiki
"By giving into the bully, Billy taught Ryan that his intimidating behaviour was okay. Standing up to him early, even if it meant being beaten up, would have been better than spending a whole year in pain. Almost all bullies pick on people who wont fight back. They use intimidation and are rarely interested in real conflict."
– The Survivor Personality book
"When you submit to an aggressors or to an unjust and impossible situation. You do not buy yourself any real peace. You encourage people to go further, to take more from you, to use you for their own purposes. They sense your lack of self respect and they feel justified in mistreating you. You must develop the opposite – a fighting stance that comes from deep within and cannot be shaken. You force some respect. This comes from your attitude - fearless and always prepared to fight. It radiates outward and can be read in you’re a manner without you having to speak a word. By a paradoxical law of human nature, trying to please people less will make them ore likely in the long run to respect and treat you better. The is inner strength, however, does not come naturally. What is required is some experience. This means that in your daily life you must assert yourself more than usual.
– The 50th Law book.
"Survivors puzzled me at first. They are serious and humours, hard working and lazy, self confident and self critical. They are not one way or the other, they are both one way and the other.

- The Survivor Personality book
"karate spirit is of great importance. No matter who wins or loses, dies or stays alive, - most important is training, process, fight and the "Way" itself. When you are free from idea of winning and losing, you are immersed in the spirit of Budo and enjoy every moment of the Way, irrespective of winning or losing. Hear these words and you will become great karateka."
-Anon
"If competence is attained, Winning will follow.
There is no reason to disparage the desirability of winning. What is necessary, however, is to recognize that although winning is the object of the game, it is not the object of playing the game. page 39
The more the competitor enjoys and attributes significance to the play itself, the more likely he is to win. The essence of winning behaviour is relaxed enjoyment, playing the game. page 40
A number of balances must be struck: between aggressiveness and passivity, between greed and complacency, between impulsivity and intellectualization. most races, and all series demand these balances, demand equanimity, but there are times and places for marked variation from the happy medium. page 119"

"No matter what, fight"-Bubul
“In japan the important thing is to continue, no matter how bad you are, or how bad you feel you are, you continue.
In kendo, if you get hurt, it is not so much your body get hurt, its your ego.
If you want to overcome others, you must first overcome yourself, your own weakness.
Kendo and zen basically have the purpose, is that it destroys the ego. “

“There is this feeling of exhilaration in striving forward despite the overwhelming obstacles and pain, even definite loss. This is the defiance God loves.” – Bubul
“Maturity is a big part of success in fighting, because it means you understand the game - That losing is part of the game. It doesn’t mean to let yourself get conquered, but to know that you can win again, at the right time you can be great. The key to doing well in competition is to accept.
Accept you can lose, you can not perform. Take this big bag of rocks out of your backpack, take the pressure off, and you'll do better. Once you understand that, man, you can do welll. - Ricardo Liborio.
Everyone has stuff they get nervous about, their personal shit, and if you hang around long enough they'll volunteer.
But Phil hasn't made peace with it. When I goof on him, he'll get mad.
In one press conference, Phil was almost in tears, I get what Frank is about. He's not picking on Phil out of nowhere, he's not just an asshole. Mental toughness is on the table.
Now he is not in a peaceful mind, ready to fight. Now he is somewhere else, some other issue from when he was a kid. He's not focused on the task or the goal.
I talk to people during fights the whole time. - Frank Shamrock on his shit talking.
Greg is a diehard advocate of learning to function under duress. The idea is to develop resistance to
the pain affecting your mental and physical abilities. You do workouts to get tougher, you
have hard sparring to get tougher. So when it happens in a fight t's not this foreign,
unfamiliar thing. -Greg Jackson

“Work like an ant, fight like a badger, no pain no gain “-Bubul
"A man in the latter stages of ordeal starts to realize that his manhood and deep inner satisfaction comes from finding purpose, not pleasure. He realizes that manhood does not consist in avoiding pain. He sees that the pleasures that he strived for no longer have meaning. Addictions have lost their allure. He realizes there is no 'right' woman that will make life bearable. There are only fantasies of women.
When I talked in the last chapter of the death of the ego I was talking of the movement of the initiate into a space where he is not in control, and his ego is frustrated. During initiation his ego needs for pleasure and his ego needs for status and power are ignored. The adolescent, by moving into the wilderness and away from the marketplace, assume a very lowly position. The elder has purposely put the boy in a space where he is ritually humiliated. He has done this to teach him humility.
In ancient initiation, a boy is purposely and ritually humiliated. His healthy adolescent boisterousness and cockiness is confronted. He is shown that the world does not revolve around his pleasure needs, as in the maternal world, or his power needs as in the paternal world. He is shown that his true power and identity resides beyond his own ego control and needs. His natural ego development is pushed to the next level.

"18. All warfare is based on deception. 19. Hence, when able to attack, we must seem unable; when using our forces, we must seem inactive; when we are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away; when far away, we must make him believe we are near.
?1 Sun Tzu said: The art of war is of vital importance to the State. #
2 It is a matter of life and death, a road either to safety or to ruin. Hence it is a subject of inquiry which can on no account be neglected.
?22 If your opponent is of choleric temper, seek to irritate him. Pretend to be weak, that he may grow arrogant.
23 If he is taking his ease, give him no rest. #
If his forces are united, separate them. #
?1 Sun Tzu said: The good fighters of old first put themselves beyond the possibility of defeat, and then waited for an opportunity of defeating the enemy. # 2 To secure ourselves against defeat lies in our own hands, but the opportunity of defeating the enemy is provided by the enemy himself. #
?5 In all fighting, the direct method may be used for joining battle, but indirect methods will be needed in order to secure victory. #
6 Indirect tactics, efficiently applied, are inexhaustible as Heaven and Earth, unending as the flow of rivers and streams; like the sun and moon, they end but to begin anew; like the four seasons, they pass away to return once more. #
7 You can be sure of succeeding in your attacks if you only attack places which are undefended. #
9 O divine art of subtlety and secrecy! Through you we learn to be invisible, through you inaudible; #
12 If we do not wish to fight, we can prevent the enemy from engaging us even though the lines of our encampment be merely traced out on the ground. All we need do is to throw something odd and unaccountable in his way. #
If the enemy's dispositions are visible, we can make for him in one body; whereas, our own dispositions being kept secret, the enemy will be obliged to divide his forces in order to guard against attack from every quarter."
?17 For should the enemy strengthen his van, he will weaken his rear; should he strengthen his rear, he will weaken his van; should he strengthen his left, he will weaken his right; should he strengthen his right, he will weaken his left. If he sends reinforcements everywhere, he will everywhere be weak.
30 So in war, the way is to avoid what is strong and to strike at what is weak. #Like water, taking the line of least resistance.
?12 If we do not wish to fight, we can prevent the enemy from engaging us even though the lines of our encampment be merely traced out on the ground. All we need do is to throw something odd and unaccountable in his way.
# There are five dangerous faults which may affect a general: (1) Recklessness, which leads to destruction;(2) cowardice, which leads to capture;(3) a hasty temper, which can be provoked by insults;(4) a delicacy of honor which is sensitive to shame;(5) over-solicitude for his men, which exposes him to worry and trouble.
Keep your army continually on the move, and devise unfathomable plans. # "

“In japan the important thing is to continue, no matter how bad you are, or how bad you feel you are, you continue.

"A man in the latter stages of ordeal starts to realize that his manhood and deep inner satisfaction comes from finding purpose, not pleasure. He realizes that manhood does not consist in avoiding pain. He sees that the pleasures that he strived for no longer have meaning. Addictions have lost their allure. He realizes there is no 'right' woman that will make life bearable. There are only fantasies of women.
When I talked in the last chapter of the death of the ego I was talking of the movement of the initiate into a space where he is not in control, and his ego is frustrated. During initiation his ego needs for pleasure and his ego needs for status and power are ignored. The adolescent, by moving into the wilderness and away from the marketplace, assume a very lowly position. The elder has purposely put the boy in a space where he is ritually humiliated. He has done this to teach him humility.
In ancient initiation, a boy is purposely and ritually humiliated. His healthy adolescent boisterousness and cockiness is confronted. He is shown that the world does not revolve around his pleasure needs, as in the maternal world, or his power needs as in the paternal world. He is shown that his true power and identity resides beyond his own ego control and needs. His natural ego development is pushed to the next level.

"18. All warfare is based on deception. 19. Hence, when able to attack, we must seem unable; when using our forces, we must seem inactive; when we are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away; when far away, we must make him believe we are near.
?1 Sun Tzu said: The art of war is of vital importance to the State. #
2 It is a matter of life and death, a road either to safety or to ruin. Hence it is a subject of inquiry which can on no account be neglected.
?22 If your opponent is of choleric temper, seek to irritate him. Pretend to be weak, that he may grow arrogant.
23 If he is taking his ease, give him no rest. #
If his forces are united, separate them. #
?1 Sun Tzu said: The good fighters of old first put themselves beyond the possibility of defeat, and then waited for an opportunity of defeating the enemy. # 2 To secure ourselves against defeat lies in our own hands, but the opportunity of defeating the enemy is provided by the enemy himself. #
?5 In all fighting, the direct method may be used for joining battle, but indirect methods will be needed in order to secure victory. #
6 Indirect tactics, efficiently applied, are inexhaustible as Heaven and Earth, unending as the flow of rivers and streams; like the sun and moon, they end but to begin anew; like the four seasons, they pass away to return once more. #
7 You can be sure of succeeding in your attacks if you only attack places which are undefended. #
9 O divine art of subtlety and secrecy! Through you we learn to be invisible, through you inaudible; #
12 If we do not wish to fight, we can prevent the enemy from engaging us even though the lines of our encampment be merely traced out on the ground. All we need do is to throw something odd and unaccountable in his way. #
If the enemy's dispositions are visible, we can make for him in one body; whereas, our own dispositions being kept secret, the enemy will be obliged to divide his forces in order to guard against attack from every quarter."
?17 For should the enemy strengthen his van, he will weaken his rear; should he strengthen his rear, he will weaken his van; should he strengthen his left, he will weaken his right; should he strengthen his right, he will weaken his left. If he sends reinforcements everywhere, he will everywhere be weak.
30 So in war, the way is to avoid what is strong and to strike at what is weak. #Like water, taking the line of least resistance.
?12 If we do not wish to fight, we can prevent the enemy from engaging us even though the lines of our encampment be merely traced out on the ground. All we need do is to throw something odd and unaccountable in his way.
# There are five dangerous faults which may affect a general: (1) Recklessness, which leads to destruction;(2) cowardice, which leads to capture;(3) a hasty temper, which can be provoked by insults;(4) a delicacy of honor which is sensitive to shame;(5) over-solicitude for his men, which exposes him to worry and trouble.
Keep your army continually on the move, and devise unfathomable plans. # "

"Create a Threatening Presence: Deterrence Strategies.[1] Make people think they will lose, bluff if needed. People want an easy victory and will not attack if they think they will lose.
Reverse Intimidation. 1) Make bold manoeuvres and bluff wisely, 2) be a threat, make sudden moves, imply aggression, 3) move irrationally, create unpredictability, act crazy, 4) Feed your opponent's paranoia by indicating capabilities that they are afraid of, 5) maintain a bad reputation, mean, nasty and non-negotiable."
-33 Strategies of War book Wiki
"By giving into the bully, Billy taught Ryan that his intimidating behaviour was okay. Standing up to him early, even if it meant being beaten up, would have been better than spending a whole year in pain. Almost all bullies pick on people who wont fight back. They use intimidation and are rarely interested in real conflict."
– The Survivor Personality book
"When you submit to an aggressors or to an unjust and impossible situation. You do not buy yourself any real peace. You encourage people to go further, to take more from you, to use you for their own purposes. They sense your lack of self respect and they feel justified in mistreating you. You must develop the opposite – a fighting stance that comes from deep within and cannot be shaken. You force some respect. This comes from your attitude - fearless and always prepared to fight. It radiates outward and can be read in you’re a manner without you having to speak a word. By a paradoxical law of human nature, trying to please people less will make them ore likely in the long run to respect and treat you better. The is inner strength, however, does not come naturally. What is required is some experience. This means that in your daily life you must assert yourself more than usual.

12 If we do not wish to fight, we can prevent the enemy from engaging us even though the lines of our encampment be merely traced out on the ground. All we need do is to throw something odd and unaccountable in his way. #
If the enemy's dispositions are visible, we can make for him in one body; whereas, our own dispositions being kept secret, the enemy will be obliged to divide his forces in order to guard against attack from every quarter."
?17 For should the enemy strengthen his van, he will weaken his rear; should he strengthen his rear, he will weaken his van; should he strengthen his left, he will weaken his right; should he strengthen his right, he will weaken his left. If he sends reinforcements everywhere, he will everywhere be weak.
30 So in war, the way is to avoid what is strong and to strike at what is weak. #Like water, taking the line of least resistance.

# There are five dangerous faults which may affect a general: (1) Recklessness, which leads to destruction;(2) cowardice, which leads to capture;(3) a hasty temper, which can be provoked by insults;(4) a delicacy of honor which is sensitive to shame;(5) over-solicitude for his men, which exposes him to worry and trouble.
Keep your army continually on the move, and devise unfathomable plans. # "
