Reprogramming your mind

 

Many times we have heard that people are subconsciously programmed according to our social class, this has some truth, but it does not mean that it is definitive. As part of a society, our status is normally defined by the return we give to the community, that is, the more our skills help solve bigger problems and the less people can do it, the greater the possibility that our income will be greater.

There are different areas in which we possibly have a lot of experience and that make us do well in our businesses, jobs, school, personal life, etc., but what if we trained ourselves to improve in the aspects in which we are not so good? How much would our quality of life improve if we dedicated a few hours a day to learning about other areas that are not familiar to us?

Some time ago I noticed that in my work as a programmer, after several years of experience, my way of thinking was totally related to the methodologies used in computing and that I had extensive knowledge in this field, but unfortunately when it came time to make my payments of taxes, knowing about traffic laws, trying to remodel my house by wanting to build infrastructure, improve my diet among other activities, I had no idea about almost anything. This made me understand that it is not enough to become experts in just one area, apart from being the expert in your field of work or business, you need to have at least basic knowledge in other important areas in life.

After trying to acquire knowledge in different ways, I understood that the best way is reading works by authors who have experience in the topics of my interest. That is to say, when trying to obtain knowledge about finances, the best idea I could have was to start reading about basic financial education, thus helping me to improve my economic situation and therefore give my family a better quality of life, thus motivating me to keep learning this way. Today there are more than 100 books that I have read from different areas with a very simple method.

The reason why many people don't read books is because they think they must do it in a forced way, it is intimidating to see a 500 page book and believe that you will never be able to finish it. 

The easiest way to finish this type of book is to take advantage of the fact that they are divided by chapters. Like most people, I am also very busy during the day and it is difficult for me to sit down and read a book without getting distracted by thinking about all the activities that I have pending. But at a certain point I noticed that no matter how busy I was, I was able to read at least one chapter a day. In this way, it did not seem so impossible to read a 500-page book divided into 26 chapters during a month that has 30 days, that is, I could read a chapter that took me between 20 and 60 minutes, after that it is possible to continue with other activities and repeat the process the next day. 

The most important thing in this method is consistency. Reading one chapter per day helps you improve comprehension, since there is not so much information, so you can retain the most important and apply the knowledge acquired during the day.

Regarding the topics I wanted to read, I was also interested in knowing about the world of investments, how it was possible that there were people who made enough money to guarantee the economic health of theirs and some other generations of their family and who did not even work a 9-5 schedule like most of people today.

Once I understood these issues at a basic level, I could understand what actions I had to take to achieve my goals.

Knowing about laws, whether they are traffic laws or for the purchase of real estate, payment of taxes, deduction of expenses, is something that I think everyone should know, however it is something that very few people take into account.

For these reasons, here are the list of books that I recommend you read to delve into other areas, from these books I have obtained good ideas that have helped me improve my way of thinking and reprogram my mind to lead a more enjoyable life

This list have helped me to understand in a different maner how does the life works, and no matter  whether you are young or adult, we all may live better and with less anguish generated by money, which, although it is not the source of happiness, is necessary to have the tranquility and freedom that we need.

Why you should be PATIENT 👨‍💻⏲ with your dreams 👨‍🚀🧑‍🚀

Build great things, takes time.

That's something most of the people doesn't understand. 

 

Wanting a project to succeed overnight is like trying to win the lottery.

For that you must hope that luck is on your side and believe me, the occasions when fortune is so generous with someone who has not tried hard enough are minimal.

The success that we propose in with no excuses is different. 

You have to earn it hard, every day.

People who sit and wait for luck to smile on them are going to spend most of their lives doing exactly that, waiting.

And waiting without doing anything does not mean the same as being patient.

Being patient refers to working and letting the project in question meet its goals and continue to grow.

Dreaming and imagining something is important, but designing a plan and working on it every day is more important.

 90% of people are unsuccessful in their projects simply because they lack discipline.

Consistency is the most important thing to win.

Working daily for your dreams will get you where you want to be.

Runner Usaint Bolt mentions that he trained for four years for a race that lasted approximately 10 seconds, and ordinary people want to be successful in a week.

If you are able to make decisions that make you grow, you can be sure that even if they are not the right ones, you will learn and the next time you will do better.

Otherwise, if you don't make decisions for yourself, someone else will.

And believe me, it will not be to fulfill your dreams, if not his.

From there, you will get a slice of the cake, but I assure you it will not be the largest.

Think about it. 

The best time to start building your dreams was 10 years ago.

The second best time is now. 

Go and get it!

YOU WON'T BELIEVE how many shoots 🏀MICHAEL JORDAN missed in his career⛹‍♂.

Michael Jeffrey Jordan is a former professional American basketball player, Olympic athlete, businessperson and actor. Considered one of the best basketball players ever, he dominated the sport from the mid-1980s to the late 1990s.

Jordan led the Chicago Bulls to six National Basketball Association championships and earned the NBA's Most Valuable Player Award five times. With five regular-season MVPs and three All-Star MVPs, Jordan became the most decorated player in the NBA.

Jordan was born on February 17, 1963, in Brooklyn, New York. Growing up in Wilmington, North Carolina, Michael developed a competitive edge at an early age. He wanted to win every game he played.

Michael grew up with a stable family life. His mother, Delores, was a bank teller who has since written several books. His father, James, was a maintenance worker turned manager at General Electric. Jordan had four siblings: Larry, Deloris, Roslyn and James Jr.

M.J. began his professional basketball career when he was drafted by the Chicago Bulls in 1984. He was the third overall pick, behind Hakeem Olajuwon, who was selected first by the Houston Rockets, and Sam Bowie, taken by the Portland Trail Blazers; the draft also featured legendary players John Stockton and Charles Barkley.

Jordan soon proved himself on the court. He helped the team make the playoffs and scored an average of 28.2 points per game that season. For his efforts, Jordan received the NBA Rookie of the Year Award and was selected for the All-Star Game.

While his second season was marred by injury, he was breaking new ground on the court during the 1986-87 season. He became the first player since Wilt Chamberlain to score more than 3,000 points in a single season.

"I've missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. Twenty-six times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life.

In his long history as a player, he holds 14 MVP (Most Valuable Player) awards: 5 in the regular season, 6 in finals and 3 in All-Star games.

Michael Jordan has 6 rings with the Chicago Bulls in his career, with an average of 30.1 points per game, the highest in all NBA history.

Michael Jordan achieved with the United States national team 2 Olympic gold medals: in 1984 in Los Angeles and in 1992 in Barcelona.

In 2001, Michael Jordan returned to the courts for the second time and signed with the Washington Wizards (at the rate of $ 1 million per season). Shortly after the sad tragedy of September 11 occurred, and the legendary player donated the full salary of a year to help children who lost their parents in the attack.

Michael teaches us that failure is part of success in life. He had to miss more than 9,000 shots in his career to become the most famous basketball player of all time. His good nose in business has made him one of the richest men on the planet, with a fortune of 2.1 billion dollars according to the Forbes company in 2020.

The IMPORTANCE 📱 of PERFECTLY KNOWING your ENVIRONMENT🧲

Most people think first about expressing their interests and then about finding a suitable audience.

To achieve success it is necessary to do the opposite and first make a study on the interests of the desired public. With this we can define which path to take.

You must review the trends and demands of the public. Once you have full knowledge of the demand, you can create the irresistible offer for them.

As you embark on your path to success, you must not fear criticism. Criticism is so important that without it, it is not possible to have that exponential growth that helps us achieve it.

You must maintain as much contact with your environment as possible, to the point that you feel what is happening around you as if it happened to you.

This is the way to have control over the situation and avoid being surprised by circumstances that shouldn't cause you problems.

Knowing perfectly the environment in which you operate will make you have an advantage over your opponents to be the winner in any of the topics that you develop.

Becoming an expert, as you may have imagined, is not an easy task. Great teachers in any discipline take years to achieve that status and even having achieved it they never stop learning.

Your goal must always be to know more than others and to be able to share it with whoever is really interested in learning, regardless of whether this person can be a rival, if someone learns from you, will begin to see you as its teacher and therefore will respect you.

You should not be afraid to teach what you know, knowledge must be transmitted through the generations. It is useless for you to take all your years of experience without having shared them with others.

I will be sharing this type of blog post and I would love to hear your comments or questions, in order to improve. They are usually short posts that you can read in less than 5 minutes, but that will help you change your mood and get psyched to achieve your goals.

THE MOST IMPORTANT LIMITED RESOURCE ⏱ you SHOULDN'T be WASTING.

Wealth and poverty

Just because we have been conditioned to think like poor does not mean that we cannot change and improve.

Wealth and poverty are variable and subjective.

A person who considers himself rich in one country may consider himself average (or even poor) in another.

You see it in cars, for example.

In Europe there are many more Mercedes Benz, BMW, Audis and exotics than in Latin America.

And in Latin America those cars are luxury, but there they are much more abundant.

It is not that there is no poverty in Europe, but they do live by other standards.

In fact, it is not the same to be poor anywhere in the world.

Yourself have surely seen it on television programs.

Poverty in the first world is not the same as poverty in the third world.

But we are not going to delve into that topic today.

Although we should definitely fight to eliminate poverty, today I am talking about something very simple.

WHAT IS POVERTY?

As I told you above: Wealth and poverty are variable and subjective.

But ... there must be something that, regardless of the country, makes us poorer or richer.

Do you already have an idea of ​​where I'm going?

Think ...

What is the most valuable?

Money is valuable, that is too obvious.

But what else?

Resources are valuable. Wood, glass, silicon, steel, lithium, gold, platinum, etc ...

Water is valuable.

Oxygen is valuable ...

But there is only one thing that we have irrevocably strictly told.

Something that, no matter what we do, can never come back to us.

And sadly, it's something we're constantly missing.

I am talking about time.

The most valuable resource of all.

More than money, goods, oxygen, water, etc.

Not that they are worth little, but of those you can have more.

And health is also immeasurably valuable, but it is not a resource.

In addition, you have an influence on your health.

But not about time.

IMPLACABLE TIME

Time, whatever you do, is always getting out of hand.

It is truly shocking if you stop to think about it.

Above all, because we live ignoring this tremendous fact.

We continue to live under the old conditioning ...

We do not give time the importance it deserves.

We are too submerged in searching for belongings, social validation, immediate gratification ...

... objects and objects and more objects believing that they can make us happy.

But the wealth we were talking about in the beginning is no longer the same today.

Little by little. Very slowly we have begun to realize this.

And new wealth is no longer measured in money or possessions.

It is measured in the free time you have to do what you like the most.

After read this post, I hope you start to value the time you have, and start working to accomplish your dreams With No Excuses
