A book doesn't guarantee you that dragons are real, but surely teaches you how to kill them.

Back in 2013 I used corona and lua to help me make a game for android, which I needed to make in order to pass a class in college. Have to say that it was extremely easy to do, way better and easier than what my teacher taught me to do in Android.

Hope that it continues living and improving.

Thought exactly the same, too lazy to write it though. After some time of thinking about a proper logical argument of why and how the secret works, it's just because your mind is focused mostly on that thing that you're wishing for, and you start picking up cues all around from the real world.

I can recommend reading the books Atomic Habits, Deep Work and Digital Minimalism. The biggest takeaway from all 3 imho is environment design [1] [2], explained best in Atomic Habits (but also "used" in the other 2).

Also I'd recommend the Pomodoro technique, which is quite useful for me.

Not sure if it can be considered as "podcast" (more like interviews, with video), but imho London Real has the biggest concentration of high performers in one place. Lots of the interviews have teached me a lot of valuable things. Highly recommended.

How do you protect the customer in the case that somehting inside the luggage get lost? Or what if they claim that they lost something, but it just bs and want to rip off the store owner/your platform?

This. Only have good things to say about CBT-i. Worked wonders for me.

Also I can second doing physical excercise.

New comment by nestorherre in "Back pain is a problem which is badly treated"

nestorherre — Fri, 17 Jan 2020 15:17:24 +0000

I used to suffer from constant lower back pain through almost all my life, not anymore. Regular excercise and most specifically, strengthening my core (this should be prioritized), has left me with almost non existant back pain.

A while ago the pain got so severe that I could barely walk and this lasted for a couple of weeks until I got treatment. I got diagnosed with L5 Sacralization [1]. The treatment consisted of physiotherapy excercises, which focused mostly on using resistance bands.

Hope this helps anyone.

I had to put it down at around 30% but not for your same reason, but because I just found it badly redacted (boring for me to keep going). However, I believe that the info is quite compelling and useful, but might need another style.

If that's what you think you should be able to say it. Otherwise one or both of the next things are true: -You married the wrong girl -You need to regain your manhood

On the other hand, you do need to look for a good time and a good way to say it, and that just goes to being empathetic and caring about your partner.

And I would add to that "...oportunity, and you act upon it". Internal locus of control fella.

That's probably in the US bubble. A lot of us that pass your checklist but live in developing countries are far, FAR away from that number.
