One hundred years of solitude is such an AMAZING BOOK, I'm from Colombia and Gabriel Garcia is in our biggest currency. That book made me feel proud of being Colombian and understanding our myths and legends. The book is based in our culture stories that are told through oral traditions. I'm so happy to heard someone as smart as mister wheezy loved it!

@@gerryjtierney agreed, but Holiday can be a little easier to digest for the general public. Holiday is a master at marketing and his presentation of the Stoics is pretty palatable for anyone looking to learn a little more about these people that arguably continue to shape. We could sure use their tenets now.

I needed to hear that discussion on "Start With Why". As I approach my 2nd year on KZbin I notice myself just not being motivated to work on videos. In some part this is due to the platform being frustrating for creators (i.e. the potential hit "kid friendly" channels may get in Dec/Jan and the policy's lack of clarity regarding video games) and how the algorithm stops promoting a video if it doesn't meet a certain CTR threshold (rather than promote it to the right people), etc etc. But my main reason for losing motivation is that I no longer have a "Why". When I started out I my why was "to learn how to make videos" and well a year and a half later I feel pretty competent in that area. What I really appreciate is that you pointed out how the "why" can change, and through the anecdotes, that it to some degree it must change from time to time. Thanks :) (Btw I've read all of the other books on the list and they are all great. If I may make some suggestions, I think you'd like Hit Makers by Derek Thompson and Contagious by John Berger)

It’s only 37 pgs. long and has truly changed my outlook on life and how I view it and the obstacles in said life!!! And The Richest Man in Babylon is hands down the best financial self help book I’ve ever laid eyes on.

I agree that college is worth doing, if you do it right. Try to pay as you go and don't get yourself into deep student debt. If you want to get the best bang for your buck and don't know what you want to do with it, at least get an associates in general studies and try to get all your math, english, history/political science, and sciences that you would need for a 4 year degree later. These core courses are what make you well rounded. It doesn't have to be a big name college, just be sure that it is accredited and that the courses will transfer.

One Hundred Years of Solitude left me sobbing afterward Bc I thought I’d never read a book that perfect. It was so so beautiful and unlike anything I had ever read. It’s SO good. And learning abt Marquez and how some of the magical realism is metaphor for political climate in South America just 😭. He said that he wrote it because he was wanting to tell stories the way that his grandmother did: she would talk about how someone she knew died and was buried but “was buried in his rocking chair, sitting straight up.” And he just wanted to capture her nonchalant way of storytelling!

but the 10 000 hours rule is just wrong! Lifted from Anders Ericsson's books, rather check from the source, check Ericsson's books (on deliberate practice) or interviews on youtube. It is about how you do practice (or hours, if you wish), the number 10000 has not really anything meaningful in it. The 10k is just the average of what experts had worked on becoming an expert. But, yes you need to work to get there, but there is no set limit on it! An average adds no value to the discussion.
