There's only one you need to read and that's

The Education of a Body Builder by Arnold Schwarzenegger

Here are the most impactful quotes from it.

[THREAD]

Before long, people began looking at me as a special person.

Partly this was the result of my own changing attitude about myself.

I know that if you can change your diet and exercise program to give yourself a different body, you can apply the same principles to anything else (1/2)

The secret is contained in a three-part formula I learned in the gym: self-confidence, a positive mental attitude, and honest hard work. (2/2)

What I had more than anyone else was drive. I was hungrier than anybody. I wanted it so bad it hurt. I knew there could be no one else in the world who wanted this title as much as I did.

I knew I was a winner. I knew I was destined for great things. People will say that kind of thinking is totally immodest. I agree. Modesty is not a word that applies to me in any way – I hope it never will.

“You are a winner, Arnold.” I wrote this down and put it where I would see it. I repeated it a dozen times a day.

I had won the Mr. Universe title in my mind. My imagination was primed, my body ready. I was working to create the greatest, most perfect body anybody had ever seen.

I had lists and charts of the things I needed to concentrate on pasted all over. I looked at them every day before I began working out. It became a twenty-four-hour-a-day job; I had to think about it all the time.

So if it’s important for you to be the best and not just the winner, and it was for me, then you go on.

The biggest difference (between me and the other body builders) was that most body builders did not think I’m going to be a winner.

“Arnold,” they’d say, “you’re crazy. You’re going to burn yourself out. Slow down.” I laughed at them and pushed myself that much harder.

Positive thinking can be contagious. Being surrounded by winners helps you develop into a winner.

I get caught up in the whole idea that it’s a game to make money and to make money make more money.

18 PAINFUL TRUTHS EVERY 18 YEAR OLD NEEDS TO KNOW

When you're 18 you're free to live life however you want.

But the plan you've likely been given is a plan to keep you trapped in hell.

Read this *thread* to learn from my mistakes (I'm twice your age)

//THREAD//

👇👇👇

1) College is not mandatory

I know everyone around you makes it seem like it's mandatory but it's not.

Especially if your #1 goal is to make money.

Even if you STILL want to go to college..

Take a year off to work or travel

Get some LIFE EXPERIENCE

then go to college.

2) World travel is the best education you never had

When I was a kid I had no idea you could possible to travel the world long term.

I thought my path was College ▶9-5▶5 years on the job▶2 week vacation▶Retirement at 65

Reading the 4-hour workweek changed that path for me

3) Lifting is mandatory

You are at your PEAK Energetically.

Use that energy to get into the best shape of your life and the rest of your life will be FAR EASIER.

Everyone respects a physically strong man. No one respects a physically weak man.

No debating this one. Go lift.

4) Don't listen to your parents

Only exception is unless your dad is a self-made millionaire.

If your parents give you conventional advice like go to college, get a job, get married etc, IGNORE.

It's not their fault they've been brainwashed.

Love them but ignore their advice.

7 movies every man must watch

//Thread//

1) Gattaca

A man cannot truly be a man if he doesn't believe in himself to the point of delusion....

even if that means fighting his own genetic limitations.

This movie seeks to answer the question "you limited by logic or are you powered by God?"

2) Rocky III

Contrary to popular belief, the hardest test for a man isn't how he reacts when he's at rock bottom.

It's how he reacts to his first success.

As Mickey told Rocky "the worst thing happened to you that could happen to any fighter... you got civilized"

3) A Bronx tale

"Rich Dad, Poor Dad" by Robert Kiyosaki in the context of growing up as an Italian American kid in the Bronx.

This movie will teach you how to be a man and how to pick your ideal wife (seriously).

4) Predator

Group of the chaddest and baddest cigar smoking gym bros are sent to the jungle with a ton of guns, ammunition and explosives to fight an indestructible alien specie.

WTF else do you want?

My one person online business makes $20k+ per month and I only work 3-4 hours per day.

No cold showers
No productivity apps
No fancy morning routines

Here's the 5 step process I use to get shit done and get paid (even if you're the world's laziest person):

This thread will save you a f*ckton of time and took me 5 years of trial and error to write.

Bookmark it.
Retweet the first tweet.
Share it with someone you love.

Let's get started 👇

Most people overcomplicate productivity.

They think there's something wrong with them and the only thing stopping them from being productive is another app, routine or "hack".

I've tried them ALL and let me tell you 99% of it is BS.

The following 5 steps are all you need:

1) Make a to-do list BEFORE you go to bed

> Prepping a list in advance will slash your procrastination by half as you won't wake up asking "what should I do?"

> Keep it at 6 high ROI tasks max.

> No need to overcomplicate with apps. Write it down on paper.

2) Order your task list from hardest to easiest

> Soon as your morning routine is done, start working on your list

> Do the hardest task, then move onto the next

> Do this step right and you'll accomplish more by midday than most people achieve in one week

7 Psychological Triggers you can use to motivate, influence and persuade people to do what you want

⚠ Warning: These triggers are HARD-CODED into our brains and can be used for good or for harm. Please use them responsibly 🙏

*Thread*

1. Consistency

Once a commitment is made, the tendency is to be consistent with that first commitment.

The size of the commitment can be as small as getting people to raise their hands and say "yes"

Or it could be accepting an invitation to take the car out for a test drive.

2. Objection raising

If you can address your target's objection before he brings it up, you come across as honest rather than deceptive.

This is why great sales letters often say "I know what you're thinking..." or something similar.

Most people f^ck this up by sweeping...

the objection under the carpet and hoping the target forgets.

But the longer you wait, the more skepticism you build in your target's mind.

Bring up the objections early and address them and you will earn the target's TRUST.

3. Involvement and ownership
The best way to get someone to buy something is to make them feel like they own it.

Can't get people to join your community? Offer a free trial.

Can't persuade your wife to go to Costa Rica for a vacation? Take her on a mental journey to the beach.

Today is my 36th birthday.

To celebrate

Here are 36 hard hitting truths about the world I've learned in my 36 years of living.

Warning: A lot of these are harsh and uncomfortable. Do not read if you are sensitive.

👇👇👇

This took awhile to compile.

If you want to wish me a happy birthday, please RT that first tweet above. It helps.

Thank you and let's get started.

1. You don’t go from A to B in a straight line. You go from A to B in a zig zag.

2. The smartphone took away your need to memorize information and replaced it with an inability to focus.

3. Everyone in their 20s thinks they know everything until they hit 30 and realise they really don’t know anything

Years ago I would troll CrossFit/Planet Fitness until I got bored with it and created the “Car Rage” guy. People would say, stop screaming in your car and go back to trolling CrossFit. I didn’t listen.

After screaming in my car for 3 years I started doing other shit......

.... like MeatHead Minutes, Hater Dance Videos, Macho Man impersonations, Podcasting, exposing the hypocrisy of BLM, doing Live Streams nightly on YouTube, etc. People would say, stop doing this other shit and go back to screaming in your car. I didn’t listen....

.... my FB page has grown over 176k new followers since my first George Floyd video in June and all I really post about is current event shit. I posted a “Car Rage” video yesterday and people are saying, stop screaming in your car and go back to talking about politics......

.... moral of this cool story bro is the BEST thing I ever did, is not listen to what anyone told me to do. Be you.

HOW TO MAKE A LADY CUM FASTER (18+)

Sweetie, mastering the art of the 15-minute orgasm isn't easy. So, I prepared this thread to help you guys become a master at this game.... So let's GET DIRTYYY😋

What type of pussy do you like?

OH!-MINUS 15 MINUTES

The first three minutes of your 15 should be spent kissing your partner.

• so I want u to tilt your head to the right while kissing her. You're going to feel some connection and trust as you passionately kiss her for 3minutes💋

Make sure you're not just kissing her mouth, though.

• Slide off the lips to her neck occasionally so that her neck doesn’t become desensitised.

Now you need to get co-ordinated. Each time you kiss her neck, remove an item of her clothes😉

Make sure you compliment your partner on each part of her body as you undress it.

Make sure you kiss and caress as you remove her clothes 🤤😋

1/ there is this sense when you are young that your accomplishments need to be a list of things that seem impressive to others. A list of several items you did.

This isn't actually right, so here is another suggestion.

2/ I remember being 26 and writing about reading 52 books a year. I wrote blog posts about it. They got copied. It became "a thing." Now it's in Twitter bios. It looks impressive but it's insanely useless and I shouldn't have done it.

3/ what I should have known at that time is that only young idiots like myself, with no accomplishments, find list of tiny achievements impressive. Anyone who has actually done anything of substance doesn't gaf

4/ what is actually difficult, and worthwhile, instead is to do ONE single thing for a very, very long time. It's much harder and much rarer and results in outlier outcomes much more often.

Of course you can find this out too late if you are chasing the dragon of Ted talks etc

5/ if I had only worked on a startup for a year, I would've gotten nowhere, the same way that if you lift for 3 months, it achieves nothing. Everything good in life comes from perseverance, but at the beginning, you're just like "I need to be somebody!!!"

10 easy steps to improve communication skills

《Thread》

1) Learn The Basic Of Non-verbal Communications

It's not about what you say, it's how you say it.

For a clear and confident conversation, focus on your posture.

Avoid folding your arms or making your self smaller than you are.

Use your eye contact to break the gap.

2) Respect Your Audience

As a speaker, you should respect your audience.

They are here for you to listen. They want to listen to your ideas, so you must respect them.

Remember the quote “Give respect, Take respect“.

If you fail to give respect, they will not listen to you.

3) Ask for honest feedback

Whenever u have a conversation with anyone ask them about your mistakes, progress you have done in conversation.

This will help you in achieving your goals and by looking after your mistakes, you will learn them and improve it.

4) Maintain Eye Contact

Effective comm. is where the speaker makes eye contact with his audience.

The receiver starts trusting to him and shows interest in his words.

Maintaining eye contact builds credibility, and also it shows you care about your listeners.

MEANING, EXPLANATION & INTERPRETATION OF YOUR DREAMS, ALSO ITS EFFECTS IN COMING DAYS

Sigmund Freud had explained the interpretation of dreams in the last century, but our scriptures explained this thousands of years back. What is the significance and meaning of our dreams.

These are explained in Kanv shakha of our scriptures.
Dreams in the first quarter(पहर) of the day give result in one year, if the dreams are in the second quarter(प्रहर) the results are in eight months, for third the dreams are fulfilled in three months,

the fourth one takes one fortnight, the dreams of dawn take ten days, morning dreams after you awaken after dream are fulfilled forthright.

If you dream during your tense and worrisome period those are never realized. People with Negative traits never get their dreams fulfilled.

Also your dreams will never be realized after you get up from a dream and then go to sleep again. Never narrate your dreams to others.

You will gain wealth if you see the following things in your dream- cow,elephant, horse, palace, climbing mountains or trees,

eating and crying or injured.

You will attain more land if you see someone
singing with veena in his hands.

You will attain amrit if you see yourself entering a red sea or entering into narak.

I have to make a note before writing about this episode. I was the person (still am) who thinks that bringing back D. was a bad idea. I repeat it that for me the writing of S1 and S2 is like tossed into the bin with that plot evolution, but they had to invent something+
#Hercai

2
+ to be able to continue to prolong the general story after Aslan’s story did not work out. All the suffering of M., all the crying seems for “nothing” for two seasons and we viewers are also kind of fed up in seeing him cry all the time when with the upcoming episodes+

+he is justified the most to cry. With her resurrection now the attention shifts back to Miran’s storyline and I don’t know if I like this to be honest. This said, Dilsha is here and we have to deal with her.
#Hercai

So, my comments are going to be how I find they wrote her into the story, the details we get to know, the flashbacks we get to see, the way it was filmed and directed, with leaving out if I agree on it or not but describing along the way what I saw.

ANCIENT BHARAT WAS CALLED VISHWAGURU, AND IT REALLY DESERVED IT.

India had a well developed education system centuries before the westerners arrived and called us uncivilized. Education was always given a great importance in Indian civilisation since times immemorial.

Ancient India had the Gurukulas and Ashramas as the epicentres of the knowledge and enlightenment. Bigger Gurukulas served as the centres of higher education called universities. Besides these universities, temples also emerged as the major learning centres.

Studying the Holy Scriptures, character building, personality development, responsibilities towards self,family and society,discipline and preservation of the ancient culture and heritage were the key embodiments of education.

This kind of education system made ancient India, a centre of knowledge all over the world. Many foreign students came to India for education and India was called the 'Vishwaguru'.
Takshshila and Nalanda were the two prominent universities of ancient India.

But were these only Universities of ancient India?The answer is 'No'.Let's learn about these gems of our education system that flourished across ancient India & be proud.

NALANDA UNIVERSITY
This was the oldest university of ancient India.Situated in Nalanda distt. of Bihar...

A THREAD ON @SarangSood

Decoded his way of analysis/logics for everyone to easily understand.

Have covered:
1. Analysis of volatility, how to foresee/signs.
2. Workbook
3. When to sell options
4. Diff category of days
5. How movement of option prices tell us what will happen

1. Keeps following volatility super closely.

Makes 7-8 different strategies to give him a sense of what's going on.

Whichever gives highest profit he trades in.

I am quite different from your style. I follow the market's volatility very closely. I have mock positions in 7-8 different strategies which allows me to stay connected. Whichever gives best profit is usually the one i trade in.
— Sarang Sood (@SarangSood) August 13, 2019

2. Theta falls when market moves.
Falls where market is headed towards not on our original position.

Anilji most of the time these days Theta only falls when market moves. So the Theta actually falls where market has moved to, not where our position was in the first place. By shifting we can come close to capturing the Theta fall but not always.
— Sarang Sood (@SarangSood) June 24, 2019

3. If you're an options seller then sell only when volatility is dropping, there is a high probability of you making the right trade and getting profit as a result

He believes in a market operator, if market mover sells volatility Sarang Sir joins him.

This week has been great so far. The main aim is to be in the right side of the volatility, rest the market will reward.
— Sarang Sood (@SarangSood) July 3, 2019

4. Theta decay vs Fall in vega

Sell when Vega is falling rather than for theta decay. You won't be trapped and higher probability of making profit.

There is a difference between theta decay & fall in vega. Decay is certain but there is no guaranteed profit as delta moves can increase cost. Fall in vega on the other hand is backed by a powerful force that sells options and gives handsome returns. Our job is to identify them.

Krugman is, of course, right about this. BUT, note that universities can do a lot to revitalize declining and rural regions.

So friends here is the thread on the recommended pathway for new entrants in the stock market.

Here I will share what I believe are essentials for anybody who is interested in stock markets and the resources to learn them, its from my experience and by no means exhaustive..

First the very basic : The Dow theory, Everybody must have basic understanding of it and must learn to observe High Highs, Higher Lows, Lower Highs and Lowers lows on charts and their

Even those who are more inclined towards fundamental side can also benefit from Dow theory, as it can hint start & end of Bull/Bear runs thereby indication entry and exits.

Next basic is Wyckoff's Theory. It tells how accumulation and distribution happens with regularity and how the market actually
