My most powerful tip

I read this article and it really touched me and I thought I could share it also with you guys. It can be very useful.

My most powerful tip - Ronald Fox

First though, let’s understand that humans are nothing more than one of thousands of different species on this planet. We, like a bird or a fish or a dog, live here for a period of time and then pass away. But unlike all other species, we are distinct in one thing: We contemplate our reason for being and deduce that there must be reason behind it. Think about it, does a monkey ever ask, “Why am I here?” Does a whale ask “What is my purpose?” Does a goat think “Have I succeeded, am I happy?” NO! No other species dwells on such things. They live their lives moment to moment. They do not plan their meals, they do not set their clocks and create their schedules, overbooking their time, so that they are constantly rushed. Only humans do these things. But why?

It is because humans and humans alone are intelligent enough to believe that there must be more. There must be reason for this. There must be a purpose. And that’s where we are wrong. Now here’s a strong statement that is true: Everything about you , your sense of humor, your intelligence, your creativity, your compassion, your motivation; all of what makes you YOU, will be forgotten within 2 generations of your death. Your children will remember your love, and maybe your grandchildren but after them, you will only be a picture on a wall, or a name in the annals of history. But what makes you who you are, distinct and unique, will be forgotten forever. Just like all other species. Sad.

Think about the most famous people you can. Alexander the Great, Jesus, Hitler, Gandhi…What were they like? Were they rude? Were they fun to hang out with? Were they happy or depressing? Nobody today really knows. They only live on in name and only because they were hugely popular – either famous or infamous. Nearly every single human who has lived and died is forgotten forever and you will most likely be one of them. That’s a fact!

So what’s our purpose? So many people want to know “What is my purpose in life?” The truth is, your purpose is merely to pro-create to ensure the survival of the human species into the future. In the same way all other species pro-create to ensure the survival of their species. To ensure that their genetic codes go on. Because if you don’t pro-create then all that remains of you will be lost with your death. And your life, as important as you’ve convinced yourself it was, was pointless.

The harsh reality is this, in the grand scope of things, most of our contributions are totally meaningless. Do you think that in 1000 years someone will talk about that App you wrote? Or that excel spreadsheet you filled out? Or that business you ran? Will your name even be remembered? In most cases it will not be and we will disappear from all of history and be completely forgotten like so many before us.

So what’s the point then? Why even go on?

The point is this. You are here for a very short period of time and the fact that you are here is an invaluable gift. So if there is stuff that’s hurting you; a bad job, a bad relationship, debt, stress… walk away from it. Don’t let things destroy this precious gift. And don’t buy into the lie that sitting behind a computer for 8 hours a day for a paycheck is going to fulfill you. It won’t. That’s a system built on lies. If there is something you want to do then do it before it is too late. Do it now!

Life will fly by and before you know it, you will be at the end of it. Don’t get to the end saying “I wish I had done this or that. I wish I had seen this. I wish…..

Do it when you can! Before it’s too late. Because life is a gift that can be taken from you at any moment. Treasure it and enjoy it!

Best One Minute Life Hack

Grab a pen and a paper (No password keeper or e-notes). Put down uppercase letters, lowercase letters, symbols and numbers in a completely random order — the longer, the better. You should end up with something like this:

Jdndjbs) %(58)6(@/jbdj®UebjsjIddbkIgYJJ+(/}¥>~{|>]¶>{Jbrj5>>]>Jjdnkdnsb

Now, log in to your Social Media account. Go to “settings”, proceed to “passwords”. Change your password to this random sequence. Then keep the piece of paper, put it in your drawer somewhere and go out, get a life!

Surely, if you have something urgent you can always take the paper and type this password. Other than that, go out, have fun, and most importantly add value to your life and others. But don’t sit for hours in front of your laptop and scroll down your social feed.

Quote of the Day

no matter who you are, no matter what you do, no matter who your audience is: 30 percent will love it, 30 percent will hate it, and 30 percent won’t care. Stick with the people who love you and don’t spend a single second on the rest. Life will be better that way.

Some unethical life hacks

- If you want to lie, make it shameful. People will believe you. "I was late to the meeting because I pooped in my pants.

- ”Wear a yellow reflective vest, a hard hat, and a clipboard. Now you can go pretty much anywhere, without question!

- If you don’t like making tea, but someone still wants you to make it, get it slightly wrong for everyone. They’ll never request it from you again.

- Preparations: Using the inspect-element tool in Chrome, go to your online store and edit the prices for a product you like. Go to a store that has that product (preferably a big-box store on Black Friday) and choose the laziest checkout line. Then, “price-match.

- ”When you take a hot soup out of the microwave, take 2 slices of bread in each hand and take it out. This really gets a rise out of the bread, but at yeast you have warm bread!

How to enable GodMode on Windows

How to enable GodMode on Windows.

This is a very simple trick.
a. In any drive of your computer create a New Folder and rename it as GodMode.

b. Now append the string (without quotes) “.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}” after the name of the folder so that the resultant string looks like “GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}”

c. Once you renamed the folder, the icon of the folder will change automatically and the name will be changed to GodMode.

PS: Note that any changes that you make on the God Mode will be made directly to the system so don’t make any major changes unless you are very sure about it.
You may rename it i.e. instead of GodMode any other name can be used.

GodMode contains list of all computer settings.

Apart from that there are many more settings you will find in GodMode (all categorized and accessible from one folder- GodMode)

10 habits that can make you better

Talk to One Pretty Girl/Guy You Don’t Know Once a Day - You don’t have to ask for a phone number, just chat and see what happens.

Email or Tweet one Famous Person Once a Day - 99% of the time they won’t respond, but that still means that 4 times a year a famous person will write you back

Send One Email to the CEO of a Local Business Once a Day - Don’t ask for a job, just send out a variety of messages and see if they would be willing to meet you.

Look in Mirror in the Morning and Just Laugh at Yourself Once a Day - It will remind yourself not to take yourself too seriously

Set a Timer For Daily Tasks So You Do them Faster - I set my timer for 2 minutes to get out of bed, 5 minute shower, 4 minute get dressed and 7 minute breakfast.

Watch One YouTube Lecture on (History, Science, Economics, etc.) and Take Notes in a Google Doc Once a Day - When you watch something educational, take notes, it helps you retain the information. Don’t worry about whether the notes look sexy.

Ask Someone for Something You Don’t Think They Will Give You Once a Day - You would be surprised on how often you’re wrong. (Use this for opportunities not material goods)

If you make 1–10 daily habits your life will look radically different in a year. The compound effect of reaching out to that many people will have you forming relationships with people that you can help you in unforeseeable ways.

You could connect with a CEO hit it off and get offered a job. You could speak to someone who looks interesting on Instagram and get married. Taking notes on some philosophical concept could help you gain insight into yourself.

Do I do these things daily? I do some, but not all. I’ve done all these actions on different occasion and had amazing things happen. After writing out this list, I will resolve to do all ten everyday for a year!

Let’s do this together, checking back with each other in a year and share some of the crazy experiences that we had happen along the way!
