Learn what's needed; but, dig deeper, and uncover what you can use for the rest of your life. For example: * Learn how to cook Mushroom Risottos, but focus on delivering delectable meals. * Learn the Python programming language, but focus on programming methodologies. * Learn to give your introductory speech, but focus on communicating your message. In other words: Learn what you need for tomorrow; but, focus on what you can grasp for a lifetime.

How to Save Money

But You Wait Just Right There! Pinpoint the subtle difference for a bit: * Saving $20 on a $40 item. * Saving $20 on a $50,000 item. Wait for it... Wait for it... * You're saving the same !@#$^% thing. * You're saving the same !@#$^% thing. * You're saving the same !@#$^% thing. * You're saving the same !@#$^% thing. * You're saving the same !@#$^% thing.

But You Wait Just Right There!

Pinpoint the subtle difference for a bit:
- Saving $20 on a $40 item.
- Saving $20 on a $50,000 item.
Wait for it...
Wait for it...
- You're saving the same !@#$^% thing.
- You're saving the same !@#$^% thing.
- You're saving the same !@#$^% thing.
- You're saving the same !@#$^% thing.
- You're saving the same !@#$^% thing.
Buying a New Car

Your two options:
- Option A: Buy it a mile away @ $50,020
- Option B: Buy it twenty miles away @ $50,000
"Option A, of course! It's only a $20. What's the big deal?! I'd rather not drive the extra miles. Yay!"

But, wait -- check that human psychological phenomenon:
- You'd rather drive twenty miles to save $20 on Item A.
- But, you'd rather not drive twenty miles to save $20 on Item B?
It's probably because with big ticket items, you think:
- "Hey, I'm not saving a lot of money percentage-wise."
- "Why worry about the 0.01% of the total price?"
Buying an MP3 Player

You're buying a cheap MP3 player. You have two options:
- Option A: Buy one a mile away @ $40
- Option B: Buy the same one twenty miles away @ $20
"Option B, of course! High-five!" you scream.

Why?
1. "It's 50% off!"
2. "I'll save $20!"
3. "I'll net $10 in extra gas!"
Good. We've established that you're a thrifty, financially-wise person. High-five-to-you.

On your way home...

As you're driving back listening to your new mp3 player, Tito and Primo start pointing and laughing at your sissy Pinto.

"Mutha-!@#@!" you start crying like a little bizattchi.

"But hey, that's okay. I've been eyeing that new V8 M3 anyway. Tow-dow!"

How to Never Fail

Be persistent with seeking success; but, accept failing approaches as a means to get there. (Think of success as the destination point; and failed approaches as giant freakin' buildings that you can't possible go through -- so your badass has to take detours to go around them.)

20 Things I'm Glad Life Taught Me

more fromwww.dumblittleman.com

create and look for opportunities: Opportunities rarely ever come knocking on the door of someone who's not seeking them. You have to create and seek opportunities for yourself. You have to take the initiative to get the ball rolling
When you focus only on negativity, obviously that's all you will see.
It doesn't matter if you're homeless or living in a mansion, poor or rich, or if you have a 4.0 grade point average or "failing", it won't make any difference in the future
Follow your passion, money will follow: If you have passion and have fun doing your job, then I wouldn't consider it a job. You can focus on creating even more passion for that subject and money will eventually follow you.
If you don't want to help others, then others won't want to help you, and nor should they.
Have fun as much as possible, don't take everything so seriously
Making money and accomplishing tasks is hard work, but well worth it.
- When people find something they're good at, they only focus on that instead of seeing what else they can do.
What's the point of working hard to follow your dreams if you aren't going to treat yourself along the way
Money does bring happiness: As I said, you shouldn't be chasing money but when you do earn it, you know you've been accomplishing something. It feels great and brings you happiness because you know you'll have more freedom and time to do what you want.
there has to be millions of other people are having a worse day than you.
Make as many friends as you possibly can and never burn bridges. You will need others for your success.
be open-minded. Give everything a chance.
Failure is great: One of the most important, if not the most important steps to success is failure. You have to fail at least once, but it's better if you've failed multiple times. You can learn so much more from your failures than you could any other way
Most people are nice, but not usually to strangers. Once they get to know you and you get to know them, they will most likely seem like very nice people.
hat you say and think will ultimately become reality. If you say you're going to fail, then you will because you'll find a way to make it happen. If you say you're going to succeed, the same will happen, you'll find a way.
If you see something as exciting and positive, then that's what it is.
Inspiration and motivation are everywhere: I don't care where you are,
You can change the world: Every single person has the ability to change the world whether directly or indirectly. When you change your life and the lives of those around you, you've changed the world.
