3 things that you are grateful for:

- For how things turn out for me

- For art, music and books

- For how beautifully is everything put together (infinite intelligence)

1 thing that you can do better:

- More love for being

Notes:

Intelligence is that ‘thing’ inside of you that help you make sense and understand this

More information is not doing shit. To know what works experiment more

I’m start feeling more and more disconnected (lonely) and unable to relate with anyone when I know the untimely I’m relating to some other version of me

The bible is valuable if is interpret a very high level

33. TEACHING PIGS TO FLY & PUSHING ON STRINGS

(When to stick and when to quit)

Acquisition of knowledge is nothing about the application of it

1. Listening

2. Contemplating

3. Apply

Don’t try to learn a pig to fly you can’t do it and it bothers the pig

PIG: person who doesn’t know and also doesn’t want to know (a person that is not teachable)

You can’t learn a pig to fly

You must separate the pigs from the ones that are innocently ignorance

Don’t waste your time with stubborn ignorant peoples because they will not just not listen to you but they turn around and bite you

Don’t cast your pearls before swine

Sometime the more you help peoples the meaner they are

See the peoples that you are dealing with (pigs or innocent ignorant)

Pigs like to take advantage of you and back bite you

Sometime you have to conquer and sometime to seduce -> you can’t push some strings but you can pull (slowly baby steps for changing something that you build over a long time)

You need to let some time life come to you (and not always pushing)

There is a fine line between patience and impatience (and you better find it before your dreams die)

Serenity pray — God grant me the serenity to accept he things that I cannot change , courage to change the things I can and wisdom to know the difference

Wisdom — no cutting off someone from your life because of a little mistake but don’t sticking to a person the is continuously biting you

Even pushing is hard with pigs

There is nothing louder than a pig

God help the man who tries to teach someone that is not ready

Pigs learn better with pain

Some steps on dealing

1) Give people time to learn their own time

2) Change the reward structure

3) And focus on the pain (punishment structure)

Get more persuasive

There is time for seducing and time for conquering

Every year remove one person, you just can get everyone on your side (50% is more than enough)

Have the wisdom to know the difference of sticking with someone or not
