I didn't question whether this book has worked for you or not, it's good if it has and more power to you.
It's about the reader's own attitude towards it. If you really believe in those passages (which, based on the passage, seem to be written like horoscopes) then of course they're going to work for you. Just like horoscopes magically seem to work into every situation.
In my humble honest opinion, advice like "I will persist until I succeed" just creates train wrecks. Especially when repeated 75 times in a month. I also believe that self help books like this one tend to cloud the reader's judgement and inflate their egos - which is not nice.
Why couldn't I just make a little book for myself that would include inspirational quotes from my own personal heroes and just read them out aloud them every day?
I mean seriously... That example scroll just seemed kinda tootsy wootsy, some might even say "gay", like in a harry-potter-fantasy-world kind of way.
I feel that some absolute time limits for napping is a no no for me. I grab my keys to my other hand and I extend that hand over the bed. It takes some time to get used to the idea of having the keys on your hand while trying to nap, but soon enough you'll forget you're holding the keys on your hand. Eventually you'll drop the keys at the exact moment you doze off and that's a clear sign from yourself that you've hit the time limit of a nap. There's no need to set your alarm clock for a 20-30min nap.
The alarm will inevitably go off during the wrong moment.
If you try to keep something in your hands (which will make a sound once fallen) you'll get the alarm at the exact moment you strive for.
Steve knows what's best for Apple. It's his company.
Making multiple versions is not what makes apple's products stand out. It's not something that makes them special. Making multiple versions would dilute Apples core products & business logic.
Older profs are better in general imo. They've used to teach with finite methods of conveying your points...
Now there's these new professors who have been blinded by the boundless possibility of telling too much stuff with powerpoint slides - you can always create another slide to tell everything...
Dating advice for a person who's shy are as useless as a chocolate teapot - the problems are in the fact that he's shy, not that he'd desperately need dating advice.
I understood that he meant being in a bus/train/van-pool/subway/ferry. The point that I was trying to make was that trying to do "something useful" while commuting is, at least to me, pretty annoying - there's so much distraction going on around you that your chances of actually having attention to the task you're doing are slim.
And time without attention is time wasted.
Ultimately you might find yourself using 24/7 of your time in practicing things - and realizing that you've understood nothing.
The point I was trying to make was that accusing someone of being stupid for shopping in boutiques tells more about your lack of perspective for other people - which is one definition of one being stupid.
