    MJ As Skeptical African Kid

    OFF-TOPIC 
    The meme thing itself seems to be all about the theming. You get some interesting situation, usually one that's funny or novel, attach a persona to it and let people come up with their own clever slogans. Expressions on animals/children/babies are good for that... It naturally compels people to...

    So how much pay would you require to do this job?

    You know, as someone who gets anxiety, I can tell you now that's your problem. If something doesn't instantly make you feel like "holy crap get me the hell out of here!" worrying about it will make simple nervousness grow to that level. It's not really random at that point, is it? ... As for...

    Who here bodybuilds?

    HOT! 
    Recently, I started doing bodyweight exercises after getting up in the morning. The goals are very modest. Keep the parts in good working order, and have a worthwhile start to every day. I know it's not much, but it's easy to stick to and once it's a proper habit, will make a good foundation...

    Should I go to college?

    HOT! MARKETING 
    That plugin does sound great, MJ. But yeah... Sometimes going to college is a good idea, like when the skills are particularly difficult to pick up. Most of web development and design you can really learn on your own with some disciplined self study, using w3c, a quality book on HTML5 will...

    PEOPLE 
    Why do your friends have to be students? Anyway, if you want to start a meetup and have other students join in, find your community board and post the details, with a link so they can sign up / get more info.

    Importance of a blog on eCommerce site?

    MARKETING 
    Blogs are mighty fine, if you go about it the right way. If it's all just cheap copywriting and fluff, don't even bother. Valuable posts on the other hand, are worth it. from this article.

    For the Tim Ferriss fans, a TV show starting DEC 1 on HLN

    Ah, he's trying the TV thing again? I like the older name "trial by fire", which only got a pilot episode. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HGJIB3OxaVs The episode posted by CommonCents was pretty entertaining, but there isn't much to learn from it if you already follow Tim Feriss. But it's...

    Pepsi or Coke?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    It's all crap now. Pepsi retro comes out a bit ahead, because it's made with sugar and therefor has the benefits of nostalgia, and not having that weird heavy taste/mouth feel that leaves you thirstier than you began. Brand wise, coke owns Christmas / the north pole. How do you top that?

    How Much Would You Pay For These?

    That kind of thing already exists actually. Ditto uses it for example.

    E-Books aren't Fastlane. You should quit...

    PUBLISHING 
    In a past life I was a "paragraph roleplayer." this means someone who spends time getting together with other interested parties to create a fictional character, then interact with each other. Para-RPers were a special breed, they used more than a sentence to describe their actions, often...

    Freetime Activities That Are The Most Valuable For Your Fastlane Journey?

    Find a mentor, and or maybe look around for a mastermind group. Spend some time figuring out the skills you think you'll need, and try to devise ways to practice them. Then report what you came up with here (and run through it with your mentor, or mastermind group.) Some suggestions to get you...

    What are peoples thought on Modafinil?

    HOT! 
    I've had it, for it's actual intended purpose. What it did for me, was create mental wakefulness, like waking up after the perfect amount of sleep. It's hard to say if it had any sort of affect on my focus or drive... It didn't create any motivated pow wow effect, and I naturally focus very...

    Which would you choose? And Why

    OFF-TOPIC 
    The hundred million. When the question showed up in my inbox, my face went flush from pressure, and I took all of five seconds to decide. To make that decision though, I had to first accept the outcome. No regret.

    Why does everyone love Think and Grow Rich

    HOT! 
    What I gathered from Hill is two simple things. 1: Success comes to those who continually move towards it. If you don't train yourself to be unshakable, you will fail. I find life has a strange sense of humor, always going out of it's way to give you obstacles when they're most inconvenient...

    Entrepreneurs Are Born

    MINDSET 
    While the article brings up some good, and interesting points... No, I'd still disagree. Entrepreneurship is just a profession, much like burger flipper, or lawyer. It can be any sort of person that becomes one, as long as they work towards it. There is no such thing as talent, only action.

    Getting up early and working.

    HOT! MINDSET 
    Sleep kind of erases my motivations from the night before. Without motivation, it's easy to become lazy, procrastinate, or distracted. A very useful way to help you at least get started on things when you do wake up, is to get everything set out the night before, so you don't have to prepare...

    Polyphasic sleep- Uberman Sleep schedule

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Sounds like poor Ngoc wants to sleep though. I wonder if it's because he doesn't rest enough, boredom, or any sort of mental detriment that's best cured via sleep. (Brain fog, anyone?) I wish a fever would eliminate my need to sleep. Instead it turns sleep into torture.

    Polyphasic sleep- Uberman Sleep schedule

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Woops, meant to reply to this when I first responded :p Cognitive and creative abilities arguably dropped while I was experimenting with it, in only the same way they drop when you're very tired. The lull is more from the laziness that comes with it than anything else really. I did it for...

    Polyphasic sleep- Uberman Sleep schedule

    OFF-TOPIC 
    It's incredibly difficult. I did give it a go, and I stuck with (attempting) it for probably more than a month. In my case, it was 15 minute naps- This was because I could get 2 breaks at work that are 15 minutes. Though it takes me about 7 minutes to fall asleep. (See a problem here?)...
