Last week we had a solar eclipse. And it was kind of a big deal for somebody. I know people were traveling to other states just to see it. There’s nothing wrong with it, in my opinion. I did not even go outside to look at it. It’s OK if you did. But there’s one thing I thought I could bring to your attention...
Besides learning Math, I also got three important lessons about my learning skills. I know everybody’s different, but hopefully this will make you think...
Our learning ability is the biggest blessing, but also the biggest distraction on the way to success, or any kind of personal development for that matter. Let me explain...
I already said many times: don’t give advices, because smart people don’t need them, others won’t use them. Today I’d like to look at this phenomenon from a little different perspective...

Many years ago I heard a statement from somebody, who said, “I accept everybody’s opinion, as long as it confirms my own.” At that time I thought, “What an arrogant statement!” However, as I grew up, I found out that it was just a manifestation of a very well documented phenomenon...
Many years ago I understood one simple thing: there’s no free lunch, or free ride, or whatever you call it. Everything has a price tag. People tell me periodically that training takes time...
I was listening to my coach a while ago, and he was talking about setting goals. And he mentioned one side effect of goal setting, if it’s not done properly. Let me give you an example...
I usually practice in a place where there’s nobody around. But one day I was doing it in the park, and there were some people there. As I was standing on my head, I saw a person. Don’t remember if it was a guy or a girl, but one of two for sure. The person was walking in such a strange way...
I think that famous quote, “Why do you see the speck in your brother’s eye and don’t see the log in your own” is not just a cute phrase from the Bible. Our brain is so used to seeing our own reflection, then even flipping it makes a huge difference for our perception...
Our subconscious mind is always looking for two opposites everywhere, like good and bad, right and wrong, white and black, and so on. So if something’s not right, then it means it’s wrong...

Just like gem stones, we have our value inside of us. Quite often we need to look inside to find it, as I discussed last time. But we have it. However, there’s one misconception people often have, and I had it too...

The topic I’ll be discussing today is so obvious it’s not even fun to talk about it. Unfortunately, so many people are doing this, that I cannot ignore the elephant in the room...
Today I will talk about the most important tool we can use to change the flow of cause-and-effect chain. But many people miss importance of this mechanism. Yes, including yours truly. So I had to correct myself...

I was talking about pain, and how we can get ourselves in trouble if we get too comfortable. However, like in any Yin-Yang combination, everything is good and bad at the same time. Yes, even pain...
