WARREN BUFFETT’S 5/25 RULE WILL HELP YOU FOCUS ON THE THINGS THAT MATTER
Warren Buffett is the most successful investor in the world.

Not only has he posted record high returns, Buffet has also managed this over a time period of over 60 years.

It’s a testament to Buffett’s ability to think long term. But Buffett doesn’t just spend his time thinking about securities either. He spends a great deal of time thinking about how we can live better. We see this in an anecdote from one of Buffett’s employees.

ONE DECISION SEPARATES THE WEALTHY FROM THE NON-WEALTHY

COURAGE CAN BE DEVELOPED. BUT IT CANNOT BE NURTURED IN AN ENVIRONMENT THAT ELIMINATES ALL RISKS, ALL DIFFICULTY, ALL DANGERS. IT TAKES CONSIDERABLE COURAGE TO WORK IN AN ENVIRONMENT IN WHICH ONE IS COMPENSATED ACCORDING TO ONE’S PERFORMANCE. MOST AFFLUENT PEOPLE HAVE COURAGE. WHAT EVIDENCE SUPPORTS THIS STATEMENT? MOST AFFLUENT PEOPLE IN AMERICA ARE EITHER BUSINESS OWNERS OR EMPLOYEES WHO ARE PAID ON AN INCENTIVE BASIS.”— DR. THOMAS STANLEY
The problem with most people’s lives is that they are being shielded from the consequences of their behavior. There’s little to no accountability.

DOES MARRIAGE EVEN MAKE SENSE ANYMORE?
MARRIAGE MADE A LOT OF SENSE ONCE UPON A TIME
Mostly when women didn’t have the same roles and rights as men, and were effectively private property (a societal legacy that still influences our oddly-upheld traditions of a bride being “walked down the aisle” and taking her husband’s last name.)

Women didn’t have access to the workplace, so needed financial security. Men had income, but needed heirs. The exchange was simple. (And during the Victorian era, we prettied it up a bit by convincing ourselves it was about “love,” too.)

THE 7 FORCES OF LASTING CHANGE
1. STEPLADDERS.
Science shows people have a better chance of success by focusing on small steps. Yet even when people know this, they repeatedly fail to make lasting changes. That’s because they don’t understand just how small those steps need to be and don’t have a model to guide them.

REAL MADRID VS. BAYERN MUNICH: FIVE OF THE MOST MEMORABLE MATCHES
Real Madrid against Bayern Munich is the most played match in UEFA competition history and, possibly, the most heated cross-border rivalry in all of European football.

Two clubs representing the north and south of the continent, and with a lot in common, have faced off 24 times over the last four decades. But the “European Clasico” has had almost as much controversy and bad feeling as its La Liga namesake.

13 THINGS THAT WILL HAPPEN WHEN YOU “LEVEL-UP” AS A PERSON
According to meta-analytic data, confidence isn’t what leads to success. Instead, successful behavior is what creates confidence.

Unlike dopamine which only lasts short-term, confidence is something you own, once you’ve earned it. Short-term pleasure and long-term joy are two fundamentally different outcomes.

YOU DON’T NEED AN IDENTITY TO HAVE A LIFE
Dressed in a brown, too large sweater, a man is standing in an archway, elbows crossed. It’s snowing. Having waited for hours in the cold, the bank across the street finally opens. He walks in.

Inside the Zurich Community Bank, he writes down a 13-digit number on a piece of paper, which the clerk hands to a more senior employee, who guides the man to an elevator. Down in the vault, a security guard silently gestures him towards the fingerprint identification system. He passes.

THE SECRET LIFE OF A HIGHLY SENSITIVE PERSON
Growing up, I was constantly labeled as the “good listener.” I was also told to stop “taking things so personally.” I can read other people without them saying a word. I feel everything. All the time. Really deeply.

That’s because I’m a highly sensitive person, or HSP. Sensory-processing sensitivity (SPS) is the trait’s scientific term, and while it’s greatly misunderstood and often mischaracterized, it’s found in 15 to 20 percent of the population.

HOW TO BECOME WORLD-CLASS AT ANYTHING
When I was 16, I performed relatively poorly in my GCSE exams, exams which every kid in the UK takes. Having missed most of my classes, and barely studied, I received a D in math and an F for French (which I think is funny). I’m a little embarrassed to even write about this, and I’ll try to redeem myself by letting you know that four of my nine grades were C: for physics, biology, English language, and English literature.

10 BENEFITS OF SLEEPING NAKED YOU PROBABLY DIDN’T KNOW
Sleeping is one of the most important things we do every night. Getting the right amount of sleep has an untold number of health benefits and not getting enough sleep is a serious problem in many countries around the world. Did you know that you can get additional benefits by sleeping naked? Here are some benefits of sleeping in the nude:

1. IT IS EASIER.
When you don’t have to worry about sleeping in clothes, things start to get easier. You don’t have to buy pajamas, which can save you money. You have less clothes to wash and less clothes to put away. You may have to clean your bed sheets more often, but not nearly as often as you’d have to wash your pajamas when you run out.

Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.

My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.

7 REASONS TO TURN DOWN FREELANCE WORK

When Married Sex Gets Stale
Thirteen years ago, I ran through my house at breakneck speed and flung open the front door where my future husband stood. I jumped on him, legs wrapped around his waist and lips planted firmly on his. This was no polite hello — this was a crazed, thirsty, deep, and primal need to jump his bones. If I could have, I would have ripped his clothes off right there.

That was how turned on I used to get around my husband. That was dating.
After a mortgage, three kids, and signs of wear and tear as we inch ever closer to 40, things have cooled in the boudoir considerably. Take this past Monday, for example.

31 JOURNALING PROMPTS FOR BUILDING GREATER SELF-RELIANCE
The goal of self-reliance is to achieve sovereignty in our connected, civilized world. It’s to remember that your judgments are valid — even if, especially if, they’re unpopular.

There’s no magic bullet for self-reliance. There’s no step-by-step system to achieve it. There are, however, some practices that will help us move towards it. I, along with countless others, have found journaling to be a particularly effective one.

HOW PERFECTIONISTS CAN GET OUT OF THEIR OWN WAY
Like any extreme trait, perfectionism can be a double-edged sword. Having high standards and being hardworking can help someone stand out in a crowded field, and their tenacity can help them improve their skills over time. And, to an extent, being very conscientious can help avoid errors.
The benefits I’ve mentioned, and a fear that any flaw will result in catastrophe, can keep people hooked on their perfectionist mindset. However, there are also significant downsides to attempting mistake-free performance.
