    How to learn a new language quickly

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I'll keep this very short: Don't use language learning books. They usually teach you unnatural language rather than something that'd help you understand actual spoken language or speak it without sounding like a textbook. What you do instead: 1) If the language uses a different writing...

    How articles about 16-year-old's making millions are useless to you

    It seems a lot of people think a business can't be successful without a revolutionary, never-before-seen idea (there is currently a featured post on this forum in which MJ adresses this) and that wealth is an "event", as MJ puts it. How can you blame these people? Probably every millionaire...

    Why do so many people lack common sense?

    PEOPLE RANT 
    Just yesterday a friend told me about his new commission-based job selling investment contracts. Naturally, I asked some questions and he tells me about company practices such as: -Not fully disclosing contract details to clients -The company using MLM style techniques to hire new employees...

    Why do people assume it takes long to build a decent body?

    I fully co-sign Colton's posts and truly hope we could help/motivate some of you. Keep in mind to always track your results, check the scale weekly and see if your strength goes up. We can give general advice that most likely will work, but it's ultimately up to you to figure out your...

    Look up the sample self-made weight gain shake I posted in this thread. Nothing unhealthy about milk, oats and fruits. You can also put in nuts or a little bit of oil to bump up the kcal.

    Why do people assume it takes long to build a decent body?

    HEALTH 
    Daily squats (or any exercise except stamina or coordination) are not a good idea. Twice a week, 3 sets, 8 reps. If you do those properly and with heavy enough weight, you're good. You need rest days for the muscles to recover. And what do you mean exercises that don't require gym? Are you...

    What is the BEST "value" you ever paid for?

    NOTABLE! HOT! EXECUTION CHAT 
    First thing that came to mind is an example from last week. I was looking for new desktop wallpapers and couldn't find any decent ones, so I thought there MUST be a way to use the ones Windows 10 automatically greets you with at the welcome screen. Right? Wrong. For some reason, Microsoft...

    Does anyone have experience with software development?

    I have an idea for a program which I am pretty sure would be successful and very easy to market. The problem is, I'm a broke college student and I have absolutely no programming background, so I don't know how much it would cost or how long it would take to build it. Basic functionality...

    Easiest and cheapest way to do it when starting out is homemade weight gaining shakes. Here's a sample: 200g oats + 500ml milk (can substitute this with coconut milk or something else if you're lactose intolerant) + 40g frozen fruits That's more than 1000 kcal. Even if you eat like you...

    Areas in life where 4-hour weeks actually get you somewhere

    OFF-TOPIC 
    We all know the "4-hour workweek" and reading the fastlane, MJ doesn't think too highly of it. Me neither, to be honest. At least not regarding business. However, I think there are some projects where investing 4 hours a week actually gets you somewhere. As a thought experiment, I came up with...

    Mine is the "scrawny" type too. We actually have it easier to build a good body and get to eat whatever we want, haha. As for your lack of muscle gains, what do you mean by "working your a$$ off"? Gym, farmwork, something else...? At your age, it's obviously more difficult to gain muscle and...

    Why do people assume it takes long to build a decent body?

    HEALTH 
    130lbs to 185lbs, current bodyfat percentage is around 9%. Height: 5 ft 11. This took me roughly 5 years, mostly because I didn't put in much effort and didn't eat enough in the beginning. As soon as diet changed, results came. I didn't workout more than before. I'm not going to post any...

    Why do people assume it takes long to build a decent body?

    HEALTH 
    Do you know why people have been telling you it's all in your diet? Because it is, haha. You already have a 6pack, just like everyone else does. Your bodyfat percentage is too high, so it doesn't show. So what you do is the following: 1.) Figure out your caloric maintenance. There are a...

    Why do people assume it takes long to build a decent body?

    HEALTH 
    To even get to the point of knowing about these percentages they would need to put in basic research, which apparently still is too much for some. It seems most have a vague idea on how to do it from hearsay, i.e. "do sports and eat right" and both sound like too much work so they instantly shun...

    Why do people assume it takes long to build a decent body?

    HEALTH 
    I'm more of a hardgainer myself, but the 70% diet part is pretty much correct from personal experience. When people tell me they don't have time for getting in shape all I really hear is "I've never even done the most basic research how to do it", and that speaks volumes about their motivation

    Why do people assume it takes long to build a decent body?

    Whenever I get on Facebook (which is rarely), I see posts by random gym motivation pages I subscribed to years ago. And in the comments, I always read some discussion which results in the same nonsense: "I have a job and 2 kids, I don't have time to live in the gym" "I'm busy moving" "I'm...

    I'm in a similar boat, always procrastinating and putting things off... I'm trying to enforce a self-imposed rule to only use my laptop at the library now.
