ENTRY #78:
It is possible to completely analyse a person's mind in milliseconds by taking a glance at their eyes.
Sadly you have to get to know them very thoroughly first.
ENTRY #77:
People that take a shower before going to the gym don't intend to train.
Also, you don't need a bachelor in engineering to know, that turning off the warm-water faucet while applying shampoo will solve 20-50% of the world's energy crisis (and improve pocket money to impress peers).
ENTRY #76:
Contrary to popular belief, it can be quite good to bite off more than you can chew and fly too close to the sun.
The assumed consequences are true - but they are valuable experiences and should be embraced with full force, unless deadly.
ENTRY #75:
Don't pick your nose, fart or chew open-mouthed in public places, unless 100% certain that you are physically and intellectually the fittest person in your environment.
ENTRY #74-1:
The thorough more exhausting choice is usually the correct one. There are no easy paths that lead to mastery or good character.
Still: Don't try to be too wise in choosing unless repenting for something, as wisdom creates a lonely mind.

High speed trains, idealists, zealots and fanatics have some things in common: They are very predictable in their trajectory and it is very unwise to stand in their way.

You can master anything, it is only a matter of time.
Your time is finite. With every second spent, death encroaches.
Don't waste your time mastering useless shit.
ENTRY #65:
Your environment creates your mindset.
If you are unhappy, try changing the environment.
Activities, visuals, sounds – anything perceivable with the 5 senses is part of your environment.
If you find yourself believing in a 6. sense: There are only 5, quit being lazy and making shit up.
If you find yourself wishing, hoping and praying: Try to gain power over your environment.
ENTRY #64:
To lose weight: Eat less. To meditate: Stop thinking. To enjoy life: Feel. To master: Practice. To become fit: Train. To be confident: Resist your desires.
It's that simple. Any other truth needs to be approached with great skepticism.
