Fun task for tomorrow!

We are blind to the world. A lot goes unnoticed, while we are occupied looking on our phones, going to work or class in auto pilot... therefore I present a challenge to make you notice a little more and be more alert. You are a target... There is someone with  knife, a gun or a weapon of your choice trying to kill you. Stay alert or you lose the game. Every time you start to doze of during the day, have this thought. Look around, look for where people may be hiding to have a jump on you, pay attention to emergency exits and always plan what could happen. It ends up being actually fun to to do, and will make you feel more accomplished at the end of the day. Just don´t take it to seriously to a point people will look at you thinking you are either crazy or suspicious.

Well then! Good luck, everyone!

One of the diseases

Today is filled with diseases...

A very dangerous one... The one the media is feeding us. Daily we have the choice to do great or simply live another ordinary day. I actually enjoy a ordinary day once in a while, though, not too much of it. Thanks to today´s capitalist society we end up ingesting poison every single day making us empty shells that can do nothing but eat fast food, lie in bed, watch all the series we can and spend our lives in front of a square emitting light.

The poison is there, it is fun and tasty, why not take it? The problem is the disguise... we enjoy the things that are destroying us way too much...

It is very rare to see someone saying “no anime or series for now, this book of Heidegger seems quite interesting.” We simply want easy to digest things, we want things that don´t make us remember how miserable we actually are. The chances are high you are in the same despicable situation, so let me help you. Make yourself a promise. Every time from now on, you put on some movie to waste time, every time you eat shit, you will remember “I am sick, this is but a disease ending my life.” Remember this, say it out loud, say it once more... I am sick, but this is something I can change... And then you will pick up a book that is actually going to make you think...

Mission - Do not turn on you phone, notebook, tablet, ipad, anything of the type and read a book for a day. Go out, enjoy your day without it.

Are you able to spend a day like this?

We only live because there is death

     We have been given a really long lifespan. Because of this, many animals of other species perish and even go through many generations while we still stand. This is a great gift as it is a problem, for we have taken time for granted. We procrastinate, we waste time with things we will not remember in a few weeks and we do not give sufficient value to the things we like or even to those we love. The next time you wake up, you will remember this, and value everything around you. Do not take this to the extreme, but live accepting the possibility you or those you know can be dead the next day. Say things you need to say, do not hold your feelings inside for too long. Do what you want to do and live you life.

     Of course, the chances of dying tomorrow can be very slim, but always think of the “what if”. What if a family member were to die tomorrow? Are you giving enough value to them? Have you spoken to your mother today? Have you said how you feel to that beautiful girl you have a crush on? Have you had enough fun with your friends? I can go on, but you get the point. Act in a manner in which you will not regret it later, and finally remember, “We only regret the things we don´t do.”

Memory today

One of mine favorite memory techniques is the memory palace. With this method, you need two things, an existing place you can easily see inside of your mind and something, or many somethings to memorize. I suggest reading the book Memory Palace by Lewis Smile, in there he goes into more detail, but I will go through it quickly. An great example is when i memorize playing cards, for every one in the 52 cards I have an image, creature or person linked to it. When I see queen of hearts, I think of a girl I knew when younger, when I see ace of hearts, a goose with a old dutch school uniform and a heart drawn on his shirt shows up. The point is, the more ridiculous it looks, the better you will remember it. Let´s go for a stroll...

Waking up, I look at my pc and Jonny Bravo (10 of hearts) is sitting there chatting with some girl online. I look at him, complaining because he went on my pc without permission, when leaving the room, someone hits me with a Cue stick´s end. An old girlfriend who moved away, Lorry (Queen of hearts), was standing there playing billiard (The board is 5 of hearts) and at the other end I see myself playing with her (King if hearts). When going to the bathroom, i notice a goose (Ace of hearts) in the bath .Suddenly a Kraken (Ace of clubs) pulls him deeper and he disappears...

It is a small story, but it can go on much longer. In the book i previously mentioned, I got to learn all of shakespeare´s books chronologically. Trust me, this technique is good.

What made me think of posting this at the moment, was the fact that i was training and it made me think of old Greece. This method was invented there, and was named Method of Loci. But then you think, how was someone able to get to this method? I hardly can see someone coming up with it today. Of course not, we are way to busy. The society of today does not longer permit it for us to truly think. School asks us to memorize tons of things we will never use in life, neither in our professional lives. We are so occupied with our daily lives, when home, we only think of doing some mindless activities. But while we watch Tv, play videogames, have superficial conversations, surf the net, we waste even more of our lives. The average person in old Greece would be considered an intellectual today. We are getting dummer, because society is making us believe it is unnecessary to think more deeply about our life.

Therefore I propose the following, think about how you live. And promise yourself you will look out for mindless activities. Whenever surfing the web without meaning, whenever lost on social media just scrolling down and down... think of these words. My life is short, am I going to waste it by doing things I will not recall two days from now, or going to do something memorable... Going to better my memory (get more and more into my mind palace - next level of  memory palace) going to study something (for now, japanese) I know will make a difference, doing something fun I will remember months from now (Persona 4 for me) or at last having a deep conversation with someone you enjoy talking to...

Sorry, but I can´t hold on to just one thing, so what I told you was a little more than just about memory. But I hope you enjoy it, and make use of it. Change yourself, or rather, become more. Make a difference to your life, and hopefully also to those around you.

Rule - Have a code to live by

Have a code to live by. Think of what you would do in many situations. This will make choices easier, as you have already decided with a sound mind, which won´t be possible in the heat of the moment.

For example, should I do that with my friends? Should i have another drink? Should i kiss her, despite being much older/younger? Should I take advantage of this situation or would it be wrong? I eating this cake going to ruin me?

As you see, it will be usefull from the most simple situation to the most extreme one.

Let me tell you some of mine. Always be a gentleman. White socks when doing physical activities, otherwise always black. Dating a girl that is at most four years younger then me. No food after eight pm. When starting to feel tipsy, simply stop drinking. Exercise self control, otherwise you will feel miserable later.

Well then, good luck. And i would enjoy you posting some of yours down here, which you would consider to be most important and recurrent.

Entry 001 - What is this page about?

We humans all search something, what I have searched all my life, was change. I have been through thousands of pages on the internet, have looked for hundreds of apps and have been through hundreds of books looking for it. As I proceeded, I little by little got something to add. This book is not for anyone… I lived a dull and boring life style, I was nobody. Bullies, little to no friends, no power, no skills… Only go through if you are prepared to change your entire life, or rather, start a new one. You will find everything to change your life, improve everything about yourself and become a champion. There will be teachings and following them there will be missions for you to truly learn. There is no learning without practice in this life. This book´s focus is on the ideology and the ways to become an alpha in society. Once you have been through it, and utilized what is inside, you will have become an alpha. Good luck.

 I am currently writing this book and I will be posting on a weekly basis as I progress with it. Feel free to comment if you find something idiotic, really enjoy it, or think it can be a little better. This all worked for me… and I believe it can bring change to anyone who wishes for it. Hope you enjoy!
