Saw. Summary.
BOOK#048 - TRIBE OF MENTORS - MEANINGRING.COM Introduction. Life punishes the vague wish and rewards the specific ask. After all, conscious thinking is largely asking and answering questions in your own head. If you want confusion and heartache, ask vague questions. If you want uncommon clarity and results, ask uncommonly clear questions. Fortunately, this is a skill you candevelop.
MANAGING ONESELF: HOW DO I PERFORM? Performance that violates your value corrupts, and it will ultimately sap and destroy your strengths. Just as different people have different strengths and weaknesses, they also work and perform in different ways. For example, some people learn by reading, others bylistening.
A SENSE OF VALUES
A Sense of Values. To be truly rich, regardless of his fortune or lack of it, a man must live by his own values. If those values are not personally meaningful, then no amount of money gained can hide the emptiness of a life without them. Each individual has to establish his own standards of values, and that these are largely subjective. WHY YOU SHOULDN'T READ THE NEWS A dozen reasons exist to give news a wide berth. Here are the top three: First, our brains react disproportionately to different types of information. Scandalous, shocking, people-based, loud, fast-changing details all stimulate us, whereas abstract, complex, and unprocessed information sedates us. THE LAW OF CURIOSITY They just do it — all the time. And they keep doing it. This is how they learn and grow so quickly. Curiosity helps a person to think and expand possibilities beyond the ordinary. Asking why fires the imagination. It leads to discovery. It opens up options. All meaningful and lasting change starts first in your imagination andworks its way out.
ALFRED SLOAN'S MANAGEMENT STYLE “A Chief Executive Officer who has ‘friendships’ within the company cannot remain impartial.” Rarely has a chief executive of an American corporation been as respected and revered as Alfred P. Sloan, Jr., was at General Motors during his long tenure at the top.Many GM managers felt a deep personal gratitude to him for this quiet but decisive acts of kindness, of help, of advice, or DON'T ACCEPT FREE DRINKS Don’t Accept Free Drinks: Reciprocity. Not so long ago, you may have come across disciples of the Hare Krishna sect floating around in saffron-colored robes as you hurried to catch a flight or a train to your destination. A member of the sect presented you with a smallflower and a smile.
CHANGES IN PERCEPTION If general perception changes from seeing the glass as “half full” to seeing it as “half empty,” there are major innovative opportunities. Unexpected success or unexpected failure is often an indication of change in perception and meaning for the consumer. When a change in perception takes place, the facts do not change.

- READ BOOKS. GET IDEAS. Envision The Future Four – Social. Dream lofty dreams, and as you dream, so you shall become. Your vision is the promise of what you shall one day be; your ideal is the prophecy of what you shall at last unveil. High performers are clear on their intentions for themselves, their social world, their skills, and their service to others.- PAGE 142 OF 266
Read Books. Get Ideas. How do you define “greatness”? I spend a lot of time interacting with brilliant people and studying great minds, and the more I do, the more I’ve become convinced that how we define greatness ultimately defines our life.If you define greatness as the pursuit of a bigger title and office, that will define yourlife.

Read Books. Get Ideas. KEY POINTS. Timing matters. Just as there is great power in the discipline of acting, there is also great power in the patience of waiting.; Waiting to do something when “we know it is something that we should do but we don’t really want to do it” is Procrastination. Waiting because “we are deciding that now is not the right time” is Patience. BOOK#025 - THE 7 HABITS OF HIGHLY EFFECTIVE PEOPLE The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. Powerful Lessons in Personal Change Stephen R. Covey 20131119. About This Book. The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People is based on an Inside-Out Approach to becoming a more effective people. The Inside-Out Approach means that give our first energies to our own character development before we focus on techniques or how to be more ACCESSING THE INFORMATION YOU NEED Accessing the Information You Need. Let me ( Jim Rohn) share with you two of the best sources of information available. First, there are your own experiences. Become a good student of your own life. It’s the information you are most familiar with and feel the strongest about, so make your own life one of your most important studies. INCREASING YOUR VALUE TO THE MARKETPLACE Increasing Your Value to the Marketplace. by Meaning Ring on 2015/08/30. We get paid for bringing value to the marketplace. That is a simple statement of economics. We don’t get paid for the number of hours we work; we get paid for value. Since that’s true, is it possible to become twice as valuable and make twice as much money inthe same
AWAKEN THE DIMENSIONAL MIND: THE CREATIVE-ACTIVE Instead, the mind must be forced from its conservative positions and made active and exploratory. To awaken the Dimensional Mind and move through the creative process requires three essential steps: first, choosing the proper Creative Task, the kind of activity that will maximize our skills and knowledge; second, loosening and opening upthe

THE LAW OF TRADE-OFFS We must learn to see trade-offs as opportunities for growth. Trade-Offs force us to make difficult personal changes. The loss of a trade-off is usually felt long before the gain. Most trade-offs can be made at any time. A few trade-offs come only once. The higher you climb, the tougher the trade-offs. Trade-Offs never leave us the same. CHARACTER VS. CHARISMA Charisma is a word that is often confused with character, but charisma is really quite different.Charisma is derived from a Greek work meaning “an ability to elicit favor in other people.” It’s a magnetic quality of personality that people respond to as if it were magic. Charisma is almost like a magic wand that confers power overothers.

Business Ethics. “Primum non nocere—‘ First do no harm. ‘”. The first responsibility of a professional was spelled out clearly, 2,500 years ago, in the Hipprocratic oath of the Greek physician: primum non nocere, “above all, not knowingly to do harm.”.

LIFE ADVICE FROM VERONICA BELMONT by Meaning Ring on 2019/06/14 > I’ve only ever had one house motto: “Fuck you, pay me.” … > Things like “exposure,” or “reaching new audiences,” or > having a “great experience” are all well and good, but they > don’t pay the rent or put food on the table. Know your worth. VERONICA BELMONT is a bot-obsessed product manager in San Francisco. She works for Growbot, helping to make sure employees get the recognition they deserve on their teams. She also helps to admin Botwiki.org and Botmakers.org, a huge community of bot creators and enthusiasts. As a writer, producer, and speaker, her primary goal has been to educate audiences of all types about how technology can enhance their lives. Through the years, her love of innovation has led to advising many startups on product, communications, and marketing, including Goodreads (acquired by Amazon), about.me (acquired by AOL), DailyDrip, SoundTracking (acquired by Rhapsody), Milk (acquired by Google), WeGame (acquired by Tagged), Forge, Chic CEO, and more. She is also a podcaster and hosts _IRL_ for Mozilla and _Sword & Laser_. WHAT IS THE BOOK (OR BOOKS) YOU’VE GIVEN MOST AS A GIFT, AND WHY? OR WHAT ARE ONE TO THREE BOOKS THAT HAVE GREATLY INFLUENCED YOUR LIFE? _10% Happier_ by Dan Harris made me totally rethink mindfulness and meditation. For me, it was always something that “other people do,” but Dan’s experience of suffering from anxiety and panic attacks (especially on-camera, which used to be my career) struck home in a major way. Plus, since he comes to it from the perspective of a skeptic, I wasn’t worried that I was being sold to or recruited in some way! Just a great way to take stock of your thoughts and mood. LIFE ADVICE FROM RICHA CHADHA by Meaning Ring on 2019/06/11 > You have to lift off the back foot while taking a step forward, or > you will not be able to move ahead.RICHA CHADHA is an
award-winning Indian actress who works in Hindi films. She made her debut in the comedy _Oye Lucky! Lucky Oye!_, and her major breakthrough was a supporting role in the film noir gangster saga _Gangs of Wasseypur_. Richa’s role as the bellicose and extremely foul-tongued wife of a gangster earned her a Filmfare award (India’s equivalent of an Oscar). In 2015, Richa made her debut in a leading role with the drama _Masaan_, which received a standing ovation when screened at the Cannes Film Festival. WHAT IS THE BOOK (OR BOOKS) YOU’VE GIVEN MOST AS A GIFT, AND WHY? OR WHAT ARE BOOKS THAT HAVE GREATLY INFLUENCED YOUR LIFE? The book I give out the most is _Autobiography of a Yogi_ (by Paramahansa Yogananda). It reminds me that human beings are the only species that have become conditioned to doubt survival. Plants grow, trusting nature to provide nutrition; animals thrive in the wild despite dangerous conditions. This book reminded me to have faith at a low point in my life, hence I share it as widely as possible to pull others out of their misery. I was greatly influenced by _Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland_ in my formative years. I still live my life wide-eyed in childlike wonder. Even though it was heavy for me at 15, I was greatly impacted by Salman Rushdie’s _Shame_. It made me kinder. Naomi Klein’s _No Logo_ made me reassess consumerism and greed. LIFE ADVICE FROM DUSTIN MOSKOVITZ by Meaning Ring on 2019/06/10 > We can’t control the fact that bad things are going to happen, but > it’s how we react to them that really matters. DUSTIN MOSKOVITZ is the co-founder of Asana , which helps you track your team’s work and manage projects. Prior to Asana, Dustin co-founded Facebook and was a key leader within the technical staff, first in the position of CTO and then later as VP of engineering. He is also the co-founder of Good Ventures, a philanthropic foundation whose mission is to help humanity thrive. WHAT IS THE BOOK (OR BOOKS) YOU’VE GIVEN MOST AS A GIFT, AND WHY? OR WHAT ARE ONE TO THREE BOOKS THAT HAVE GREATLY INFLUENCED YOUR LIFE? _The 15 Commitments of Conscious Leadership_ by Jim Dethmer and Diana Chapman. Though most people will typically blame other people or circumstances in their life when they are unhappy, Buddhists believe that we are the cause of our won suffering. We can’t control the fact that bad things are going to happen, but it’s how we react to them that really matters, and _that_ we can learn to control. Even if you don’t accept that this is true in all cases, giving it consideration in moments of unhappiness or anxiety will often give you a new perspective and allow you to relax your grip on a negative story. This book is an approachable manual for how to do that tactically, and the lessons it teaches have transformed the way I engage with difficult situations and thus reduced the suffering I experience in big and small ways. Though it is written with leaders in mind, I find myself recommending it to everyone, and we give it to every new employee at Asana.

OR WHAT ARE THREE BOOKS THAT HAVE GREATLY INFLUENCED YOUR LIFE? _Guns, Germs, and Steel_ by Jared Diamond: This text helped rid me of the nagging incompleteness in my understood connection between the successes and failings of ancient and modern civilizations. Power needs tools and circumstance. Neither need be earned. _A Confederacy of Dunces_ by John Kennedy Toole: At the time in my life that I cracked this book open, it brought me tremendous, dare I say, glee! It was f*cking funny, vivid, and adventurous. Sometimes that’s what we need. LIFE ADVICE FROM DITA VON TEESE by Meaning Ring on 2019/06/08 > You can be a juicy ripe peach and there’ll still be someone who > doesn’t like peaches. DITA VON TEESE is the biggest name in burlesque in the world since Gypsy Rose Lee (born 1911). Dita is credited with bringing the art form back into the spotlight. She is renowned for her iconic martini glass act and dazzling haute-couture striptease costumes adorned with hundreds of thousands of Swarovski crystals. This “Burlesque Superheroine” (_Vanity Fair_) is the performer of choice at high-profile events for designers such as Marc Jacobs, Christian Louboutin, Louis Vuitton, Chopard, and Cartier. She is the author of the New York Times bestseller Your Beauty Mark: The Ultimate Guide to Eccentric Glamour and has a namesake lingerie collection available internationally at prominent retailers. IF YOU COULD HAVE A GIGANTIC BILLBOARD ANYWHERE WITH ANYTHING ON IT, WHAT WOULD IT SAY AND WHY? “You can be a juicy ripe peach and there’ll still be someone who doesn’t like peaches.” This is a quote that my friend’s great-grandmother told to her, and she told it to me, and I’ve always loved it. In the public eye as a burlesque star, I’ve been called both brilliant and stupid, ugly and beautiful in equal measures. I’ve strived to let insults fall off me like water off a swan’s back. Personally, I find that most things that are universally accepted are mediocre and boring.

by Steven Pressfield.
I read this slim little book before any new creative project and it lights a torchfire inside me. The crisis with all creative work is that it requires us to trust that generative voice inside us while also silencing the negative ones. It’s so easy to mix them all up and end up quietly abandoning our ambitions. (It’s why I became a pharmaceutical consultant at 21 years old, selling Viagra instead of writing fantasy like I do now.) Half drill sergeant, half Zen voodoo master, Pressfield shot me out of my stupor and taught me the meaning of creative discipline. _A Little Life_ by Hanya Yanagihara. The greatest work of fiction I’ve ever read, with the simplest theme: All of us come with baggage and wounds and pain; all of us. But recognizing that common, human bond is what helps us transcend that pain. LIFE ADVICE FROM MIKE MAPLES JR. by Meaning Ring on 2019/06/06 > Ego is about who’s right. Truth is about what’s right. MIKE MAPLES JR. is a partner at Floodgate, a venture capital firm that specializes in micro-cap investments in startups. He has been on the _Forbes_ Midas List since 2010 and named one of _Fortune_ magazine’s “8 Rising Stars.” Before becoming a full-time investor, Mike was involved as a founder and operating executive at back-to-back startup IPOs, including Tivoli Systems (IPO TIVS, acquired by IBM) and Motive (IPO MOTV, acquired by Alcatel-Lucent).

WHAT IS THE BOOK (OR BOOKS) YOU’VE GIVEN MOST AS A GIFT, AND WHY? OR WHAT ARE BOOKS THAT HAVE GREATLY INFLUENCED YOUR LIFE? _The Top Five Regrets of the Dying_ by Bronnie Ware _Jonathan Livingston Seagull_ by Richard Bach _Hope for the Flowers_ by Trina Paulus _Living Forward_ by Michael Hyatt and Daniel Harkavy _How Will You Measure Your Life?_ by Clayton M. Christensen HOW HAS A FAILURE, OR APPARENT FAILURE, SET YOU UP FOR LATER SUCCESS? DO YOU HAVE A “FAVORITE FAILURE” OF YOURS? When I was in college, I was rejected by the fraternities that I was interested in, so I ended up helping to start one. The fraternities that said no are no longer on campus, and the one I helped start turned out to be among the absolute best. LIFE ADVICE FROM GRAHAM DUNCAN by Meaning Ring on 2019/06/05 > Buddhists observe that we’re all on fire. It’s so beautiful to > sometimes tune in and see the flickering. GRAHAM DUNCAN is the co-founder of East Rock Capital, an investment firm that manages $2 billion for a small number of families and their charitable foundations. Before starting East Rock 12 years ago, Graham worked at two other investment firms. He started his career by co-founding the independent Wall Street research firm Medley Global Advisors. Graham graduated from Yale with a BA in ethics, politics, and economics. He is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations and serves as co-chair of the Sohn Conference Foundation, which funds pediatric cancer research. Josh Waitzkin calls Graham “the tip of the spear in the realms of talent tracking and judgment of human potential in high-stakes mental arenas. WHAT IS AN UNUSUAL HABIT OR AN ABSURD THING THAT YOU LOVE? I wear a SubPac M2 Wearable Physical Sound System while I commute on the subway to my office, and sometimes while I work at my desk. The system lets you feel the vibration of music through your body. Music producers, gamers, and deaf people are the primary users. I find the full-body experience of music makes listening to music or even a podcast more of an immersive somatic experience rather than just a conceptual head thing. IF YOU COULD HAVE A GIGANTIC BILLBOARD ANYWHERE WITH ANYTHING ON IT, WHAT WOULD IT SAY AND WHY? ARE THERE ANY QUOTES YOU THINK OF OFTEN ORLIVE YOUR LIFE BY?
