  • Rediscovering the Joy of Learning

    Rediscovering the Joy of Learning

    When I was in middle and high school, I didn’t care much for exams, getting good grades, or many of my classes. Some topics were interesting, but the way most teachers presented them was boring to me. I was also against homework and still am, to some extent. The idea of spending many hours each…

  • Paper books, ebooks, or audiobooks?

    Paper books, ebooks, or audiobooks?

    Do you enjoy reading books? What’s your preferred format—paper books, ebooks, or audiobooks? I personally favor paper books. I appreciate that I can annotate them and don’t need to rely on electricity or batteries. Imagine being in the middle of nowhere, even during a zombie apocalypse—I’d still be reading comfortably!

    Why The Icarus Deception Is a Must-Read

    I just finished listening to Seth Godin’s audiobook The Icarus Deception. It was a great listen, albeit uncomfortable at times due to the many truths Seth shares.

  • One book every week

    One book every week

    It’s not about reading fast. It is about reading more often. How many hours do we spend looking down at our phones or watching a show weekly? Ironically, the same technology that keeps us distracted can give us this valuable information. Unless you actively track how much time you spend on your phone, you’ll likely…

  • The logbook – part 2

    The logbook – part 2

    Back in January, I decided to start writing on a logbook. The idea was to make it easier for me to write down things I thought were important about my day. Think of it as a minimalist version of a diary or journal. The fact is, I haven’t been keeping up with it as I…

    ¿Saben una cosa? En toda mi vida nunca he conocido a una persona con éxito financiero que no lee en abundancia. Leer te ayuda a tener un conocimiento amplio de la vida, de los negocios, de la ciencia, y cualquier otro tópico que leas. En mí opinión, si quieres tener éxito, tienes que aprender a…
