    The Power of Perception

    MINDSET 
    "I am thought itself. I am perception. Perception IS reality." - Onslaught This is, perhaps, my favorite quote from a comic book. Your questions are bordering into a philosophical question known as "brain in a jar". Essentially, let's devise an experiment where we are capable of keeping a...

    Atlas Shrugged

    BOOKS 
    That makes sense. The translation I have actually has a large section introducing Marcus and his life, and has a lengthy footnotes section that helps to understand that. I think the other book I posted is a bit more accessible. It's just learning about stoicism, and how that can help you stay...

    My first business mentor was Runescape

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Videos games are vastly underrated, especially MMOs. This post serves as evidence. In any game with an sort of player run market, an economy will form that not only mimics an economy in the real world, but also gives people a great opportunity to learn how to work a market. A few simple...

    Atlas Shrugged

    BOOKS 
    Can you elaborate on that a little? Meditation is basically a primer on stoicism. A bit more accessible guide is this: http://www.amazon.com/dp/0195374614/?tag=tff-amazonparser-20

    Atlas Shrugged

    BOOKS 
    There's nothing wrong with you. It's just that objectivism and her views on capitalism are hard for most people to swallow. Also, Rand wasn't what I'd call a positive role model. She justified cheating on her spouse and believed smoking cigarettes was some kind of noble action. She also...

    The Journey To A Software Developer...(JOIN ME!)

    EXECUTION 
    Also, you never mentioned what you want you build, web applications or mobile applications? If you want to do the latter, learning Java will not help you much, if you want the former, build me an application that does the following: 1.) Displays a form with a textbox with a button. 2.) When the...

    Make sure to read this once you've got the basics down: http://blog.paralleluniverse.co/2014/05/01/modern-java/ Also, I loathe Java, but I love the JVM.

    The idea myth

    IDEA MINDSET 
    I betting this is similar to Altucher's writing 10 ideas a day? The more ideas you can test out, the quicker you can find something profitable.

    Is electrical engineering a good major for entrepreneurship?

    EXECUTION 
    I always enjoy the debate over college on these forums. It reminds of the people within software engineering who make the same claim. The only answer that is correct is "it depends on the person". If you're trying to build a business based on either product or service creation, it helps...

    Am I the only one? (Physical product invention)

    HOT! 
    Twist that knife a little harder, will you? I'm already convinced I want a yearly sub, but trying to make the sell to my spouse is a hard one.

    Is electrical engineering a good major for entrepreneurship?

    EXECUTION 
    Musk, Brin, Gates, Jobs. The great inventors were both capable of both inventing and organizing the invention. If you're desire is to create a business focused on product creation, and not importing, it's important to have experience the relevant field. There's a post here about someone who...

    Ever wonder how people end up in dead end jobs at 40?

    GOLD! 
    Always remember that not everyone can, or ever should, be an entrepreneur. Even with massive improvements in automation and artificial intelligence, there will always be a need for employers and employees. Think of the pyramids. To build those, Egypt needed a large scale coordinated...

    Ever wonder how people end up in dead end jobs at 40?

    GOLD! 
    I can attest to this. Where I currently work they have this whole initiative of "culture shaping"* and #*Proud nonsense they spam on the company's intranet homepage. Many people consider it a "safe company" to work for. The reality is they cut small percentages of various departments at...

    Ever wonder how people end up in dead end jobs at 40?

    GOLD! 
    It doesn't have to be, however. My grandfather, for example, spent years working as a clothes washer repairmen. When the time came when his services were no longer needed, he wasn't escorted out the door like some thief in the night, the company moved and trained him. He was one of the people...

    Released a FinTech Start-Up - My Journey [iPhone App] 'Tinder for Stocks'

    EXECUTION 
    Rovio released 48 games before Angry Birds. Yes it's a common theme, multiple failures before a raging success. However, the app market is super saturated. People only use like 3 apps 97% of the time, and one of those is Facebook. Some people claim we are in a post app world. Would I encourage...

    The Journey To A Software Developer...(JOIN ME!)

    EXECUTION 
    Yes, there are. However, the most influential people in the field, the ones shaping it, do have a degree in either CS or a related field.. Or at least they understand the basics, so when I use terms like order of magnitude, time vs. space constraints, B-trees, etc, they don't flinch and...

    Building websites - A worthy idea?

    IDEA MINDSET 
    Right, just learn to setup Wordpress, and enough PHP and CSS to be dangerous. That's a waste. You're not a developer.

    Released a FinTech Start-Up - My Journey [iPhone App] 'Tinder for Stocks'

    EXECUTION 
    I'd agree with this. Placing your bets on an app being a good source of revenue is extremely hard. The statistics of an individual making a significant profit on the iOS app market is worse than starting a business. You do have outliers like Flappy Birds, which is an interesting case study, but...
