“Ketones are an efficient and effective fuel for human physiology without increasing the production of damaging free radicals. Ketosis allows a person to experience nonfluctuating energy throughout the day as well as enhanced brain function and possibly resistance to malignancy. – Dr. David Perlmutter”

TAKE ACTION
I limit myself to adding two interesting quotes by:

- Alvin Toffler: "You have to think about big things while you're doing small things, so that all the little things go in the right direction".

- Henry-Louis Bergson : “An individual should think like a man of action and take action as a man of thought".

If you have a 1% chance try 100 times
And also understand how math works, or you might go astray.

If your "1% chance" is pulling a special marble out of a bag containing 100 marbles, AND you don't put the "wrong" marbles back in the bag, you're guaranteed to find the desired marble in less than 100 tries. Because it's NOT really a 1% chance after the first marble. Your odds improve as you remove the wrong marbles.

But if it's a true 1% shot every time -- like if you put the marbles back in after you pick them -- then there's never a guarantee. Picking and replacing 100 marbles has only a 63% chance of getting the "right" one. You have to do about 450 tries before you get to 99% certainty, and you NEVER have a guaranteed 100% shot.

Lots of things in life are more like the second case than like the first. Don't make a bad choice because you didn't really understand what you were doing.

"Prepare, prepare, prepare. When the pressure is on, you don’t rise to the occasion; you fall to your highest level of preparation."

Found in Never Split the Difference: Negotiating As If Your Life Depended On It

Which as I write this, reminds me of a quote from Seneca: "Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunities"

"When things go wrong, keep the horizon in sight. Set new goals - don't let one tragedy increase into two or three through failure of will."

I think this was in Alice Schroeder's - The Snowball (Warren Buffett and the Business of Life).

When you’re green you grow; when you ripen, you rot. As long as you remain green, you grow. You can take any experience and make it an opportunity for growth, or you can take it and make it an invitation to decay. You can see retirement as the beginning of a richer life, or you can see it as the end of your working life. You can see success as a springboard to greater things, or you can see it as a resting place. And if it’s a resting place, chances are you won’t keep it for long

— Ray Kroc the founder of McDonald’s
