Evolutionary Fitness

I’m looking into this at the moment, sounds pretty interesting

More science than an undergrad course, but simple and easy-to-apply
principles make this a superb all-around diet/fitness system. May not
be ideal for high-level athletes though.

14 things you can learn from the Google story

Found this post on Digital Samurai. Top stuff. Especially: “Have a healthy disregard for the impossible. If someone hasn’t done it yet, that doesn’t mean it’s impossible.” 
 

• Connections - human, computer, biology - are everything. Life = networks.
• Never compromise your ideals because someone said it’s impossible, stupid, or a waste of time.
• Do focus on changing the world, don’t focus on the money. If you provide value, the money will come.
• Have a healthy disregard for the impossible. If someone hasn’t done it yet, that doesn’t mean it’s impossible.
• Money is a problem, not a solution. Money cannot solve your problems, but your solutions can solve the money problem.
• Value creativity, not money. View creativity as your company’s true bottom-line, or your company will stop growing and die.
• Go against the grain. Don’t believe in other people’s visions for you, believe in your own.
• Speed is more important than looking good. A shiny, beautiful car isn’t impressive when it gets overtaken by an old jalopy; the same applies to software.
• Organic growth is best. Only grow as fast as you need to, don’t waste money on advertising a product you won’t want your mom to use.
• Focus on users above all else, e.g. don’t do something that might annoy your users just to make more money, they won’t forget.
• Never betray users’ trust, or anyone else’s.
• Spend 20% of your time on blue-sky ideas without worrying about how they will make a profit. If it might change the world for the better, it needs to be done, even if it can’t make money.
• Don’t make enemies of your competitors to stay driven. Be driven by your own values and mission.
• Beat your own path through the wilderness.

Why I like Chinese Medicine (TCM)

Formosa Neijia has a good post about his recent experience with a Chinese Medical practicioner that managed to come through for him when Western Medicine failed:

Kime - more than just ‘focus’?

Every so often there is something that you know in a few minutes… and begin to understand in a few decades.

Well said.
