Mindlines by by L. Michael Hall

This book looks like a powerful manual for hacking your mind. I am not sure if NLP is more effective than karate, am testing. We have the pdf copy in freedrive and our portable hard disk.

EDIT: But maintaining your pride seems like a more effective system. This system seems like beating the wrong bush.

"What happens though, as you read, and apply the Mind-lines to yourself, you come up with new ones and you may notice your own mind starts to open up, you look at things in new ways, and you can find inspiring answers, and shifts in perception.

Here is an example with reframes:

"Your being late means you don't care." External behavior (lateness)= Internal State (don't care).

Reflect back: Have you ever been late for something, and did it mean you didn't care?

Counter example: If I was on time would that mean that I did care?

Contrast: Just because someone is on time doesn't mean they care. Just because someone's late doesn't mean they don't care, does it?

Meta Model, Chunking down: How specifically, does my being late mean I don't care?

Mind Reading: How do you know I don't care? Are you able to read my mind?

Authority frame: According to who? Where is it written that lateness means not caring?

Value: What's more important, my being here, or my being late?

Allness: What would it be like if everyone was always late? Would it mean that no one cares, ever? What kind of world would that be?

You do need to have good rapport with some reframes. And there are 18 more than this. The patterns I have used most to change my own thoughts have been negation, future pacing and metaphor patterns. More recently, I am using chunking up questions.

If you're like me, you'll discover yourself coming up with your own reframes for common situations, whether it be in career, personal relationships, dealing with children, or dealing with difficult or uncooperative people, and as you do you will realise the rewards of reexamining these situations. The more you open up to the opportunities these reframes present, the more opportunities open up.

Goals! How to Get Everything You Want Faster Than You Ever Thought Possible by Brian Tracy

http://www.amazon.com/Goals-Everything-Faster-Thought-Possible/product-reviews/B001LF4AWM/ref=cm_cr_pr_link_2?ie=UTF8&showViewpoints=0&pageNumber=2&sortBy=bySubmissionDateDescending

SMART goals (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic/Relevant, Timely/Time-bound)

For instance, a Harvard study conducted in 1979 discovered that only 3 per cent of students surveyed had written goals. Followed up in 1989, that 3 percent was earning more than all the others (97 per cent) combined! Pretty powerful stuff, eh?

I teach goal-setting myself, and one of the hardest things to convince people of is the need to quantify and set deadlines for their goals. Tracy describes how and why that is necessary, and how it helps. He also shares ideas for discovering what you really want, and for making sustained progress toward achieving your goals. Other topics covered in the book include how to be an expert in your field, managing your time, visualization strategic planning, flexibility, creativity and persistence.

Actually, this book is about success and how goals are the one big ticket that will get you there. Not just in business, but in all areas of your life. Tracy's main point is the one thought that can help you be more successful, which is "Write down your goals, make plans to achieve them, and work on your plans every single day." The rest of the book tells you step by step how to do just that. In fact, I am convinced that if you are able to learn the material in this book and apply it to your life, you will be unstoppable. Whether your goal is being a multi-millionaire or being mayor of your hometown or starting your own small business or working from home, I recommend you read this book. Then re-read it. Then, start working the process and get ready for your own success!

From the book by Charles Bloom

http://www.cbloom.com/poker/book.html

"So, that's our first key point - good players do not make their profit by making big hands. Often when a fish plays against a pro they feel like the pro is getting good hands all the time. Obviously a pro doesn't make big hands any more often than a beginner, but they make a lot more money. How do they do it? Poker pros make their money (compared to amateurs) on every single hand - including hands they lose! Your goal as a poker player is to A) win more pots, by making your opponents fold when they have the best hand, B) minimize your losses by folding when you're beat, or keeping the pot small with marginal hands, C) make the pot big when you have the best hand, that is win big pots, and D) have small statistical advantages all the time."

Winning in tough holdem games by Nick "Stoxtrader" Grudzien

The best book of poker i have read. It is like knowing exactly what my low limit opponent is holding and knowing precisely what to do in every move without needing to head breaking maths.. It is like a light bulb lit in a dark room.

Previously I lose because i use bad bads, playing my opponent only and trying to make my calling stations to fold, but they wont and my bad cards cant stand at the end!

But all my fancy plays has toughen up my game.

Have to play half shit and half cards. The balance of ying yang again.

-Read Stripping the gurus book.

MISC
First, detachment
Detachment gives you space to use your weapons. Detachment should always be the first step before any other method, it is the foundation of all other method, without it first, all other methods will not work like punching without crippled legs. In war all warriors must be psychotic in order to defeat the enemy. Detachment gives you a high similar to fast driving or on a tall building without the need of moving from where you are. Detach by pretending you don't care about the object and the object is very far away from you. Anger adrenalin makes you stupid and damages brain tissue. Detachment shift yourself to the frontal lobes from the limbic system. Make you think better and less suffering. Refer to the Buddhist or Hindus. Detachment is actually the core of meditation, positive thinking and all mental system. Use detachment alternatively with attachment, when you set goals you need attachment, when you execute the work to the goal you need attachment, use one hour detachment one hour attachment for example, like a square waveform.

Christian forgiveness, or economize to mass your resources
Forgiveness is perverse. It is against fairness or justice or good. It is outside of human logic. It is closest to the nihilistic universe with no human value. But you choose either being right or effective. Being right feels less miserable but in the end you lose the war which is more miserable. Money=misery, no money=more misery. It allows you to focus your energy; laser diffused is just light with no power to cut. Forgiveness allows to save your energy. Forgive your enemy but kill him. You don't care about losing, you let your enemy win even without fairness. You go for the bigger target. Refer to Christianity for the technology of forgiveness.

Target dictates weapons, weapons dictates movement.
You must keep your target in mind in so that you will not lose your way. You must economize and focus. Focus always makes success comes earlier so you don’t have to waste time in suffering. Refer to the book Unleash the warrior within by Richard Machozicz.

the power of full engagement by Jim Loehr

The Power of Full Engagement: Managing Energy, Not Time, Is the Key to High Performance and Personal Renewal (Paperback)

~ Jim Loehr (Author), Tony Schwartz (Author)


Good book on play hard work hard pushing your limit

Sin, Pride & Self-Acceptance: The Problem of Identity in Theology & Psychology by Terry D. Cooper

Another very good book that is balancing pride and self contempt


from amazon
Cooper does an outstanding job of comparing Augustine/Niebuhr's view of pride as humanity's primary problem with Carl Rogers's stance on self-contempt as everyone's dilemma. The author deftly merges the two theories to make it something other than an either/or situation. A tension is easily recognized between theology and humanistic psychology, but Cooper with the help of writings from an early 20th C. psychologist, Karen Horney, show us that people with pride have a hidden self-hatred & people with low self-esteem have a hidden pride system. And he courageously tackles the feminists' rejection of pride, which they predominantly consider to be a male problem, regarding women's issues with surprising results - an anxious greed vs. greedy anxiety comparison. Cooper maintains that all anxiety stems from inner fears about how we relate to ourselves & not so much from external pressures. As a consequence, we expend too much time trying to nurse an idealized self rather than experiencing our genuine self, according to Cooper.

Read this book with a highlighter in one hand. You'll want to refer back to several statements eventually. In short, I felt pretty dang naked, but it was absolutely liberating. I think that both Christians and humanists will enjoy reading this one.

Restoring pride: The Lost Virtue of Our Age

The ideas put forth in "Restoring Pride" will seem, to many readers, elitist; that's because they are. Richard Taylor rejects the popular notion that all people are equal, embracing instead the idea that some people are simply better than others as human beings. Their superiority has nothing to do with class, power, or wealth; they are better because they are gifted and have made the most of their gifts. Taylor doesn't try to be politically correct and makes no apologies; he explains what it means to be more than normal and encourages people to fulfil their potential. Pride, according to Taylor, is the justified love of oneself for having achieved personal excellence. People who use their natural gifts for significant and lasting achievements have the right to be proud of themselves. Furthermore, virtually everyone is in some way gifted. Some people hone their talents and better themselves while others follow paths that are easy, pleasant, common. People who fail to nourish and perfect their talents, who do only what is expected of them, are wasting their lives. We all have gifts and we need to identify them and excel in the areas in which we're gifted. Put another way, figure out what you're good at...and do it. Superior people, people who are justifiably proud, are not concerned with what others think of them, but with how they measure up in their own eyes. They are their own most demanding judges. Although proud people set their own standards higher, and make their own rules stricter than those others might subject them to, there is a rule of conduct that must guide their relations with other people: be considerate. If they adhere to this maxim when dealing with friends or strangers, with great and powerful people or people unknown, they will need no other rule of right and wrong. Taylor's definition of pride leaves no room for conceit. Arrogance and self-centred behaviour, he believes, have no place in the lives of the proud.

Pride is totally necessary

I am in a slump. Dont know how my career is going. then i realize that what makes me happy is not enlightenemnt, no ego, oracle, or even perfection, i have been missing something for a long time, something fundamental to my being.

After searching throw tons of self help books in Amazon review, and the singapore library, this morning I realize that it is pride that I am missing. I am influence by no ego philosophy for a long time, humility, as well as my mother keeps beating down on me for pride that threaten her.

I am very humble, this caused me to be weak, easy to be bullied and invaded. Pride is like a shield.

Pride is energy, energy to keep me enthusiatic about life,  no pride, no energy, no joy.

I have been doing research on the importance of pride this is what I found:
http://www.nytimes.com/2009/04/07/health/07mind.html

Pride is good.

Always balance the polarity. When a way/emotion/value is not working, always try the opposite way, it usually would work. Refer to half good guy, half bad guy, poker where lies is good, and  detachment attachment, goal and process orientation, no ego and pride.

 http://www.ptypes.com/sin_pride_self-acceptance.html

"Thus far, we have seen that both excessive pride and low self-esteem often describe the human condition. We have examined the Augustinian-Niebuhrian conviction that pride is primary, the feminist objection that pride does not describe women's experience and the humanistic psychology position that pride does not adequately account for anyone's experience. For humanistic psychology, if pride emerges, it is a false front designed to protect an undervalued self. Along the way, we have occasionally hinted at the possibility that this pride versus self-contempt debate may not be an either-or question after all.

"It is my conviction that the work of neo-Freudian analyst Karen Horney offers promise in dealing with our deadlock between the overvalued and undervalued self. It is important to understand her treatment of the pride/self-contempt dichotomy before we move into the final chapter, which explores possibilities for integrating both views.

"Horney's discussion of basic anxiety, the "idealized self, the "tyranny of the should," the "pride system" and the nature of self-hate all point toward the intertwined relationship between neurotic pride and self-contempt. Her insights are crucial for understanding how a vulnerable, insecure self underlies an arrogant appearance. But her perspective is also valuable in understanding how a neurotic pride system underlies an appearance of self-contempt and low self-esteem. Put simply, she points toward the insecurity in pride and the pride in insecurity. Horney's work has largely gone untapped in helping develop a Christian understanding of the dynamics of sin. It is the purpose of this chapter to explore her work with an eye toward how pride and self-contempt may both be part of one process, rather than polar opposites" (Cooper, 112-13).

One Small Step Can Change Your Life: The Kaizen Way by Robert Maurer

this is the book for accomplishing big task like mastering Oracle, break it down into smaller steps.

From Amazon review:

Introducing the practical and inspirational guide to incorporating Kaizen and its powerful principles into one's daily life. Rooted in the two thousand-year-old wisdom of the Tao Te Ching--"The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step"--Kaizen is the art of making great and lasting change through small, steady increments. Kaizen is the tortoise versus the hare. Kaizen is the eleven Fortune 500 companies that significantly outperformed the market through moderate, step-by-step actions. Kaizen is losing weight not by a crash diet (which more often than not crashes) but by eating one bite less at each meal--then, a month later, eating two bites less. Kaizen is starting a life-changing exercise program by standing--just standing--on a treadmill for one minute a day.


This is a golden little book. Dr. Maurer has taken a business model for productivity and employee morale and applied it to psychology. He describes very simply how we can overcome fear, and accomplish our goals through small steps. I have often wondered why I haven't accomplished many of my big dreams. I have always described this lack of success as "shooting myself in the foot." I am perplexed as to why this happens. Dr. Maurer explains that it is fear in the brain (based on brain research at UCLA). He explains we can bypass the brain's reaction by taking smaller steps in accomplishing our goals, tiny ones. For example, I keep looking at my garden. It needs weeding, but I am very busy. I always do it all at once, so a month has passed. Now I am doing it, 6' at a time, could be a foot at a time. I stop when that section is done. It will be done in a week or so. It is our grandiose thinking that triggers fear, so he is teaching us to focus on a small part of the project, or goal. This all sounds simple, but it is truly a powerful message. Whether you can't get yourself to exercise, or you are shy socially, you can break your goal down into the simplest and smallest step and,in time, you will have success. I have recommended this book to everyone I meet, friends and strangers. They have all called to thank me for it. The fact that Dr. Maurer's ideas are based on a successful business model, and brain research, means that it appeals to a wider audience, not just the "self help" crowd. All therapists should read this (I was one once). It will save you and your clients time and heartache. Of course, we have to envy Dr. Maurer's clients. You can just feel if you had him in your life, you could do anything. By reading and paying attention to his words, I believe his wise little book will serve you and friends very well




The philosophy of small can produce big results. The topic of this book is how the big things in your life, your business, your relationships are really no more than a series of very small things. The key to change is the ability to make the minute course corrections over time, not big changes all at once.

The book starts with some great examples of how our mindset typically works when faced with major change or obstacles. We freeze. We are unable to grasp the enormity of what is required and therefore have less likelihood of success. The strategy is then in breaking the situation down to smaller segments and executing them. For example, anyone can exercise three minutes a day. Now by itself this won't change your life, but what if three turns into ten, ten into twenty, twenty into thirty? Now major change is underway.

The other essential element to this approach is the ability to understand root causes. This is a critical step in any Quality effort in business, but is also just as relevant and perhaps more important in life. Start by asking small questions. These will eventually lead to the root or core issues to be addressed.

The other sections lead from these basic premises. Take small actions, for example. Once the problem or change desired is broken down into smaller segments, don't try to change all at once. Take small steps and watch them grow. I think a big reason this is so difficult to do, is that many of us hard charging type-A types lack the patience to allow change to happen through the one step at a time mindset, and want to rush it all at once. We do so often with faster results that over time achieve less, and therefore in the end are in fact slower than if we were patient to begin with.

I found this book to be very enlightening. It presents wisdom that is common sense, yet rarely acted upon. I have tried several of the techniques and found them to be very helpful. I recommend this book highly. A small investment that could pay off in a big way.



The author explains that many of us are overwhelmed with the magnitude of the effort, discipline and change required to accomplish a major personal or professional objective. Many of us try to run a marathon (lose weight, quit smoking, etc) without any pre-race training - the outcome - pain and/or inability to finish. So we start, stop, start, stop and eventually we condition ourselves to failure. Dr. Maurer explains that success is derived by understanding the root problem, taking small actions by breaking it down into small segments and reward yourself to gather and maintain momentum. Author explains that by stringing together small pearls you eventually acquire the necklace you desire. The book can be read in one sitting in less than a few hours and was worth my time. The Chapter headings are:

Treasure Chest for Sean and Ryan December 14, 2009

Treasure Chest for Sean and Ryan    December 14, 2009

qui desiderat pacem, praeparet bellum - Flavius Vegetius Epitoma Rei Militaris iii

He who desires peace must prepare for war.

I am creating an operating system for your brain. If you got a better operating system you win the enemy. It must be worded precisely, short, simple not abstract words, gives you an image for understanding, and propels you to action. I have tried many techniques of the world more than any people. The technique I chosen is the ones that work by experience. Below is the mixture of the technique that works.

You must fight very well. You must fight people, objects, the body and the mind.

He who desires peace must prepare for war.

No peace without war, this is a resource fighting world, no person can escape it even the monks, people will invade you if you don’t want to fight. You always have to fight first. Look at the rise of China: Military first, happiness later. You must build up your fighting power so people will not invade you. When people bully you there will never be peace.

Four practice that incorporates all these practices

Karate : Keeps your will fierce and your character unafraid of pain.

Poker : Game theory, half good guy half bad guy, the chornicals of Riddick, thick face black heart. Political fighting is not ugly it is actually a real life better poker game, have fun. This is the king teacher of life.

Oracle: Make money while you play a toy. At the time now it is the best toy, later it could be another discipline, probably quantum computing.

Be the best in the market: You have to suffer to be the best in the market. But this suffering is much less than the overall suffering of being not the best. Money=suffer, less money=more suffer. Refer to the book The Dip by Seth Godin or Talent is overated by Geoff Cohen.

How to fight mind

First, detachment
Detachment gives you space to use your weapons. Detachment should always be the first step before any other method, it is the foundation of all other method, without it first, all other methods will not work like punching without crippled legs.   In war all warriors must be psychotic in order to defeat the enemy. Detachment gives you a high similar to fast driving or on a tall building without the need of moving from where you are. Detach by pretending you don't care about the object and the object is very far away from you. Anger adrenalin makes you stupid and damages brain tissue. Detachment shift yourself to the frontal lobes from the limbic system. Make you think better and less suffering. Refer to the Buddhist or Hindus. Detachment is actually the core of meditation, positive thinking and all mental system. Use detachment alternatively with attachment, when you set goals you need attachment, when you execute the work to the goal you need attachment, use one hour detachment one hour attachment for example, like a square waveform.

Christian forgiveness, or economize to mass your resources
Forgiveness is perverse. It is against fairness or justice or good. It is outside of human logic. It is closest to the nihilistic universe with no human value. But you choose either being right or effective. Being right feels less miserable but in the end you lose the war which is more miserable. Money=misery, no money=more misery. It allows you to focus your energy; laser diffused is just light with no power to cut. Forgiveness allows to save your energy. Forgive your enemy but kill him. You don't care about losing, you let your enemy win even without fairness. You go for the bigger target. Refer to Christianity for the technology of forgiveness.

Target dictates weapons, weapons dictates movement.

You must keep your target in mind in so that you will not lose your way. You must economize and focus. Focus always makes success comes earlier so you don’t have to waste time in suffering. Refer to the book Unleash the warrior within by Richard Machozicz.

-Accept both ying and yang, balance them. Refer thesis and synthesis theory by Hegel.

-Always have a goal and visualize a better future. Refer research of successful people set goals.
-Never follow spiritual traditions, it is usually hopeless. Read Stripping the gurus book.

How to fight Objects
-In order to be the best you need to two things: 1.How to study complicated subject 2.How to research on problems.  Both are not difficult actually.

-Being the best is not difficult. As long as you know how to read and write you can be the expert in any field like Oracle or number theory; learning these is easier than english. You need to be constant be with it. Let it soak in to you like language. You have to love it.

-Pretend that a big task is easy.
-Break a big task down to smaller parts. Any complicated task is consist of many smaller very easy to understand components. If not up then it is down, if not left then it is right. You just have to spend time with it be with it.
-Do one thing at a time.
-Always go back to basic. Refer kihon in karate.

-Study books by scanning fast first, then read detailly. If dont understand read another book.
-Learn to find good books in amazon reviews, library search, rapidshare books, google books..
-Always find good internet forums to ask any questions you have.
-Always do research in internet or libraries or amazon for any questions you have.
-Find a good intuitive technical book to study. Study a lot of tech books. 
-Abstract science like maths or Oracle is actually a higher state of nature. Can upload yourself to it.
-Perform a task to 80 percent perfection. If you aim for 100 percent, you will have trouble starting and fear of failure. 

Slow is smooth, smooth is fast : - We are pacer horse

We are slower learners compared to other people, but once we learned something we are much better than other people. Refer to our programming, karate, and math. It seems like our brain performs comprehensive rewiring and it takes more time than other people. Good wine need a long time to brew, you cannot rush it, and the wine we brew is the best. So don’t worry, start slow, don’t care about other people, enjoy yourself in your object like Oracle, know the beauty of it, this is what life all about.

Unleash the warrior within by Richard Machowicz

target dictates weapons. Weapons dictates movement.

interview of Buster Douglas shortly after Douglas defeated Mike Tyson. Interviewer: "Buster, you kept him at bay with double left jabs, you leveraged your height advantage and kept tagging him with rights, you tied him up, you maintained that delicate balance of constant pressure [etc., etc., etc.] Was that your strategy? Is that what you planned to do?" Douglas: "I planned to whip his ass."

Slow is smooth, smooth is fast

The "slow is smooth, smooth is fast" saying has its origins in the military. With that context the meaning is fairly obvious: moving fast, or rushing it, is reckless and will likely get you killed. If you move slowly, carefully and deliberate however, you are really moving as fast as you can without needlessly increasing the risk on your life.

The expression comes from the rifle range-it is what the instructors say to the people being trained regarding loading and unloading- aiming etc-it is a marine corps expression from the range that bleed over into other areas and then into the civilian world. semper fi

This could be the book : How To Reduce Workplace Conflict And Stress by Anna Maravelas

There are a lot of books about bullying and toxic people but none really offer solutions beside classifying.

 

 

But this book seems to offer a solution that works. Available in singapore libraries.

Edit: I have read the book, very good book.

Even if you are afraid you can bluff you are not afraid

Even that you know that you are bluffing and other people know that you are bluffing and you are scared to death, or other people know that you know that other people know that you are bluffing.  However this tension of paradoxical opposite has the effect of making you look brave, or that you are actually brave in this context, people will respect you.

This is bluffing in a advance degree. Actually everything is bluffing if you look at it correctly. You would only know this if you play poker.

I discover all this while I have been playing my cards not people

In poker, you dont play your cards, you play the people, you can even play without looking at your cards.

And the people player wins.

I realize that I have been only focusing at getting my technical knowledge high and I never play people. That is why i always get bullied and in turn my technical knowledge cannot gain too much because i need to divert my energy to manage my emotional turmoil.

you cannot play people only, you have to play cards also. 50 50 or 60 40

Everything you want to know how to interact with people you can learn in poker

-Use bullshit to fight bullshit. Use aggro to fight aggro.
-Use your rational brain instead of emotional brain. Read also Freedom from Fear by Peyton Quinn.

The art of the strategist : 10 essential principles for leading your company to victory by William A. Cohen.

Wow, i have read the book two years ago and forgot about it today i had a look at the content again, and all what I have writing in this treasure chest can be summarize in this below:

Like the dip = resource limitation = chapter 3
ROV and Oracle = Chapter 7

Chapter 1: The Fundamental Principle: Commit Fully to a Definite
 Objective
Chapter 2: Seize the Initiative and Keep It
Chapter 3: Economize to Mass Your Resources
Chapter 4: Use Strategic Positioning

Chapter 9: Practice Timing and Sequencing
Chapter 10: Exploit Your Success

Garlic the wonder drug

super flu killer. cure cancers and chronic fatique syndrom, even can make a dead rabbit penis comes up

poker and war is about guestimate what the opponents wants to do not what you want to do

and other misc thoughts:

show sean photo about drinking water
push the extra mile
or instead of c++ can play with database immediately
download freedrive best books.
defend yourself by attacking back
muka tebal is a value not method, melay word sounds thicker
you have only one life, talke high risk. experience
a man got to do what a man got to do
get the steps right, set great striving first, then only paradoxical relaxation. relax your mind consicously while carrying out the task already set forward.
focus, remember you have limited time and energy.
i discover that i focus on things i dont like due to some reason. refocusing need some effort but it is a small effort compared to the disruptions of thinking on things i dont like.
note making put complex things down in perspecive and in a small model universe your brain can think about. 
use aggro to fight aggro, use crazy to fight crazy
dont care about small loses poker
compact light mobile nimble
break it down simplify note making
other thing beside oracle is ROV

After playing no limit texas holdem, now playing limit holdem is like taking candy from baby

A lot of times i dont have cards, but are guessing what the opponent is thinking, and are mimiking strong cards behavior. Limit holdem players are losers.

Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It is a very mean and nasty place and it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how hard you hit; it's about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward. How much you can take, and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done. Now, if you know what you're worth, then go out and get what you're worth. But you gotta be willing to take the hit, and not pointing fingers saying you ain't where you are because of him, or her, or anybody. Cowards do that and that ain't you. You're better than that!

The 30 million dollars callibration test

If i have 30 million dollars. I spent 3 million dollars screwing the most good looking girls, travelled the world 3 times, ate the best food, bought the best sport car. WIth 27 million dollars left and 30 years of time to spend, how would i spend the rest of my life?


I choose between wei qi, oracle, driving harley, poker. But all this thing i know, and it is boring.

So i may try number theory, quantum theory, or even ROV.

This is a calibration test to find out what you really want to do. I love you Sean and Ryan.

The all knowing invincible field of nature

There seems to be a invincible and invincible field of nature that knows what is your knowledge and what are you doing. I dont know how it works.

I have two big stage in life 17-35 is the year I believe in mystical Buddhist/hindu type enlightenment. I have trying to search for this eternal bliss stage using all the methods i can find, i forget  about my studies of mathematics and engineering, resulting in lost grades and low income career. In the end of the search, i concluded solidly this is all bullshit logically, practically and philosophically. Please read Stripping the Gurus by Geoffrey D. Falk. We have the PDF.


18 years wasted. My abstract world knowledge of mathematics, physics and engineerign is a waste land. And people seems to know this. I cannot find good jobs.

3-6 years ago is the early Renaissance where i delve into c++, game programming, poker and poetry.

Just last year is the year I called true Renaissance, i delve into advance calculus, partial differential equations, quantum mechanics, fluid mechanics, digital signal processing, computational fluid mechanics, western philosophy, embedded linux, and Oracle. Now probably going into ROV science.

And now somehow my company seems to think i am very smart, which probably i am, i am the only one who can do more more abstract programming and write hell good official letters with bombastic but paradoxically beautiful and subtle english. BUt it could be the field of all knowing nature.

Even if you dont tell people, people around seem to able to pick up what is on your mind, and your knowlege level.

I notice somehow I am evoving from my father

I just realize my knowledge crystal is to correct the two most big mistake my father makes and is in me, probably in you and ryan also

1. Being too feminine, too soft, dont know how to confront people
2. Being too lazy.

My two biggest knowledge crystal is:

1. Karate (possibly the book freedom from fear)
2. The dip by seth godin.

I have been all along trying to correct the sin our father and myself.

My father though totally selfish himself but is unaware, is constantly taken advantage by other people. This is where Poker comes in.

Oracle is the push into the abstract world which my father never venture into due to inbreed laziness.

Upload yourself to the abstract mathematics

Sean, Ryan, we are explorers, we can't stick still to a regular job. If we are not exploring, we are eaten up by everyday pettiness that reruns the same thing over and over again, hell.

Sean, Ryan, you have big eyes looking around always for intresting things, you two cant sit still.

So now I have mastered the material world, what's left is quantum mechanics, number theory, ROV sonars mathematics. Oracle i have eaten all and is finished.  I am staying in the KNOWN material world too long, I notice everyday I think about all the petty politics over and over again, which is not fun. Nature which is elvoving to more and more complex being, wants to evolve into the non material world, the abstract world, if I dont explore there nature will punish me with boredom and in turn flashback.

I will upload myself to the mathematics world. My body is living in this world, there is no escape. But my mind can either live in this world, or live in the abstracted world created by my mind and the minds of others. I can choose where I live. I choose to live in the abstract world, cause this world is too boring.

Nature rewards the most complex and evolve being. The more abstract your brain wiring, the more money you get generally. Look at the doctors, oracle dbas, physicist, the harder to know the job, the more money. Keep exploring and understanding, gradually you will come to the abstract world, a lot of people will stop evolving here, you continue to evolve into the abstract world to escape boredom, and nature will recognize this, the money will come naturally.

Take pain like a man

I think nowadays there are no more rites of manhood, and young men become like sissies, I am one.

In west Africa, young boys are whipped across the chest cutting the flesh, and have to smile to show they can handle pain like a man. The boys who cannot smile are considered weak and will not get girlfriends. The ability to handle pain and suffering is important in order to lead the tribe through hardships, as a man.

I have to be reeducated to be a man also; I joined a more traditional style karate school, the sensei holds a 5 feet stick and shout at the students to do horse stance until unbearable pain. If the student stood up, he will whack the student with the stick and shouts constant humiliation. For the more senior student, he will punch them on the chest and stomach, a karate punch with about 5% power is enough to knock out a layman. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MciLrVWcP8w

I was whacked on the butt countless times, and experienced excruciating pain punched on the solar plexus. But after that, hell, it was being hardened psychologically with steel. You got a problem ah? Come loh. Pain and suffering ah? Come loh! Things that bothered me before lessened a great deal.

Sean, Ryan, to make your life happy, just do the following most important things in order of priority, the rest of the treasure chest is minor details:

1. Karate : Super confidence and dominance. A must.
2. Deliberate practice: Read The Dip book, the market wants the best. Another must.
3. Poker: Game theory. Chronicals of Riddick. Thick skin, black heart.
4. Oracle : The biggest toy.



.

The dip as experienced by cool Malaysians

Folks,

You can get drown in a lake of average depth of 3 inches. The average might be 3 inches but where you stand might be 10 feet deep.

It is VERY SIMPLE. If you want to make a lot of money, do not be AVERAGE. You need to be SPECIAL in some way and fashion. You need to have HIGHLY VALUABLE skill and capability.

Now, remember, there are competition out there. So, if you make a lot of money, a lot of people want your job too. So, you probably need to have

A) TALENT

You can learn and do easily compare to others

B) Great effort

Work very hard to keep up your skill and capability

C) Exposure

For certain area, you need to be in right environment to pick up those skills.

This is the same as running a business too. You need to have COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE.

So, think of yourself as a business of selling hours for money.

Watch taboo series in Okto about fight club.There is a tribe in africa where they hit eachother with whips, but the recepient must smile and not show pain then only he can be a man and have the strength to face difficulty in the future.

Karate is about touching the chaos of violence but simultaneously maintaining extreme control.

Visualize what you study to burn into your memory

After you study something, say Oracle function, close the book, and then try to visualize what you study, if you can visualize that means what you study has been burn into your memory, your eprom.

possible to play with Oracle database with you are 13

Instead of playing with c++ or game programming. Because database is fun too!

First play with making a table and inserting data into it.

Then learn plsql a little bit.

Then play lots of sql tuning, like tuning a car model.

If i have time i will teach you sean and ryan how to play when you are 7.

Accept suffering

If I accept suffering, all my mental talk cease, i become less stress.

I have avoided legitimate suffering, but i suffered ten times more suffering as a result.

So, study hard, put in the hard work, make yourself top in your field, maybe Oracle, accept legitimate suffering, so you will have more happiness as a result.

Half fight suffering, half accept legitimate suffering.

The perfect stress therapy.

Always use the internet forums for help in all sectors

In your technological life, you will face a lot of technical difficulty. And internet forums is a very useful way to solve your difficulty. Usually in working life your colleagues would not want to teach you. The IT forums are most helpful, that why i recommend you to go into Oracle for this world market.

Even for other life questions like karate and strategy you can ask the internet forums.

There is a paid forum which is very good if the ordinary forums cannot help you with tough questions like GPRS or wavecom programming: http://www.experts-exchange.com/. I use it to bail out my very tough technical difficulties few people in the world can solve. The payment is only about S$20 a month.

Run, dont walk - A linux guru

Get excited about life. Feel the excitement of rushing. Forget about your regrets and hurts. Make mistake, stumble, take risk.

The awareness as true self system

Usually use by hindus, saying that awareness is true self. This statement is a assertion and is philosophically unsound, i can say that my thumb is my true self using the same philosophical argument. Instead, the assertion is more like a method to detached from the many self in a person, and is a method that works.

Another way is to pretend you are another self A and prentend the self B that is causing the problem is not really yourself.

Philosophy is all about pretend. It is a game. Described by Wittenstein.

The half half system

Half awareness identity, half ego identity
Half attachment, half detachment
Half good, half bad
Half faith, half fear
Half goal, half process

I am trying to find this one method one principle

Now I got a cocktail of principles. I am searching for that one principle.

Faith not fear

Being too scientific and logical brings fear and nihilism. Nihilism is the ultimate end of scientific reasoning. I live in fear because I am a extremely logical person. I think to avoid death and thus live in fear of death.

I need faith I need art.

It is very important to have a thick skin

You can do much more things in life. To have a thick skin remember you are not the center of the universe.
