The Plateau Effect: Why People Get Stuck...and How to Break ThroughThePlateauEffect
The Plateau Effect is a powerful law of nature that affects everyone. Learn to identify plateaus and break through any stagnancy in your life— from diet and exercise, to work, to relationships.
The Plateau Effect shows how athletes, scientists, therapists, companies, and musicians around the world are learning to break through their plateaus—to turn off the forces that cause people to “get used to” things—and turn on human potential and happiness in ways that seemed impossible. The book identifies three key flattening forces that generate plateaus, two principles to guide readers in engineering a plateau’s destruction, and three actions to take to achieve peak behavior. It helps us to stop wasting time on things that are no longer of value and to focus on the things that leverage our time and energy in spectacular ways.
Anything you want to do better—play guitar, make friends, communicate with your children, run a business—you can accomplish faster by understanding the plateau effect.

11 Powerful Entrepreneurial Stories To Learn From!SurveyCrest
"The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams." ~ Eleanor Roosevelt
Distinction in a person comes with his ability to take severe blows and staying put in the ring. He may lose a match but never his game. Sure they face let downs and frustration, but they don’t get down on themselves. They fix their problems and mistakes, and move on. And that is what attracts glory to him, and that is the lesson we all need to learn in life from these people.

James Altucher: 40 Alternatives To CollegeJamesAltucher
UPDATE: I'll tell you 10 More Reasons Why Parents Should Not Send Their Kids to College ---> http://www.jamesaltucher.com/2011/01/10-more-reasons-why-parents-should-not-send-their-kids-to-college/
One of the cruelest aspects of our culture is the way failure is socially punished. A society that teaches you not to fail and never taking advantage of bad situations for turning them into successes, is a pessimistic and frustrated society. Steve Jobs, in his popular speech at Stanford University before thousands of graduate students, talked about how his losses became great opportunities for improvement; especially because it is in these situations where we realize who we really are, how strong we are and what we truly love (something that we really need to find.)
Close your eyes, grasshopper. And imagine a time when music came in cardboard sleeves, your “virtual communication tool” was a phone box, and nobody minded if the soundtrack of a movie didn’t sync with the characters’ lips.
This was the time of martial arts legend Bruce Lee.
Emerging from a 5,000 year old culture, he had great respect for the traditions of his ancestors. But when it came to productivity he was a thoroughly modern man. He built his skills using what later decades would call “life hacking” - short-cuts and best practices to get the job done.
Bruce wasn’t just a master of the five-point palm exploding heart technique; he was also a master of project scoping and effective execution. So if you’re ready to study with the master, let’s enter the temple of productivity … and turn Jeet-Kune-Do into Jeet-Kune-DONE.

Running a business is like riding on a roller coaster. Although it is fun and exciting, there will be times when you’ll be scared and feel powerless. During the bad times there isn’t much you can do, other than to keep on pushing forward.
So in that spirit, here are 51 quotes that will motivate you to push forward.

The Common Misconception
11. The nature of being an entrepreneur means that you fully embrace
ambiguity and are comfortable with being challenged regularly.
Choosing this career path is completely irrational because the odds

tremendous highs, and at times, difficult lows
- Forbes (5/2/13) -

than by the ones you did do.”

Top Quotes Every Entrepreneur Should Live By
13. “Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living
someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma –
which is living with the results of other people’s
thinking. Don’t let the noise of other’s opinions
drown out your own inner voice. And most

and intuition. Everything else is secondary.”

“I tell them you learn to write the same way
you learn to play golf. You do it, and keep
doing it until you get it right. A lot of people
think something mystical happens to you, that
maybe the muse kisses you on the ear. But
writing isn’t divinely inspired - it’s hard work.”
- Tom Clancy -
20. “Genius is 1% inspiration,
and 99% perspiration.”
- Thomas Edison -
21. “The price of success is hard work, dedication
to the job at hand, and the determination that
whether we win or lose, we have applied the
best of ourselves to the task at hand.”

greatest source of learning.”

“Success is pursuing your dreams;
happiness is living your dreams”

happiness is needing none of it”
