    Mental Health and Entrepreneurship

    I've been suffering from depression for a few years now, I think -- it's not a clinical diagnosis since there's still a huge stigma towards mental health problems where I live. Personally, I can pinpoint the main source of my depression at my seeming inability to solve my problems. There's...

    What to read?

    LOL. I'd suggest that he'd still read the book before this, as it'd really allow him to learn fast, but it'd be like the chicken-or-egg paradox, huh? :rofl:

    What to read?

    There's a lot to learn. So first, I'd suggest you learn how to learn. That way, you can maximize your time and effort when you read the other books. To do that, get a copy of: Made to Stick: Why Some Ideas Survive and Others Die Honestly, I wish I started with this book. Would have saved me a...

    If you could only pass on one life lesson to everyone on this forum, what would it be?

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    I can relate to this. I used to fall prey to my obsessive thoughts and the compulsions to stop them -- usually by doing some inane rituals. You could say I have a bit of an OCD, but I've not been clinically diagnosed. Anyway, the best thing is really to recognize that these thoughts and...

    What's the point complaining?

    MINDSET 
    Catharsis. :rofl: I grew up around complainers, so I have this tendency to complain when sh*ts start hitting the fan. It's all good, though. I just have to consciously stop myself from time to time.

    Why Facebook is a Joke (And various social media/smartphone insanity)

    NOTABLE! HOT! MARKETING 
    I only think of going back to using Facebook when I feel the need to brag. Which is a pretty good reason not to do so. I read somewhere that one of the major causes of depression is trying to impress people that you don't even like. Twitter, on the other hand, can be a very safe space, and a...

    Perfectionism is a plague, introducing Johnny Neverstart!

    NOTABLE! 
    Basically, we shouldn't make assumptions about what will or will not work without testing. Claude Hopkins made the same point a hundred years ago. It still applies even now. I guess human nature never really change that much.

    I Built A Worldwide Business From Broke.

    GOLD! 
    Thank you for that beautiful cake analogy, Carol. :smile2: What I'm learning from you and everyone around here is truly amazing. There was a time when I hated making mistakes, blowing an instance of it out of proportion, thinking what a total failure I was, grabbing a bucket of ice cream or...

    GOLD! MINDSET 
    Thanks for saying that. I still have a lot to improve, though. There are people here who write for a living, and they write so well that I'm often reluctant to leave a comment here and there. :) I have to remind myself of the Kaizen principle and the growth mindset from Unscripted all the time...

    This just put a nail on my forum-searching, lol. I don't think thinking about building a deck would work for me though, as I've never done that, but I get what you mean. There's this church that I often go to. It's elevated, so to reach the top, you have to take more than a hundred steps...

    This is one of my favorite threads now. Thank you so much. Your story inspires, motivates, and makes me believe that every hardship and failure is worth it in the end.

    The biggest lie that you believed for most of your life?

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    "You're the best person in the room." -- This crippling lie had kept me from improving myself (learning new skills and taking difficult challenges to improve the ones that I already have) and instead shifted my attention on things that don't matter (appearing to be best, unmarred by mistakes or...
