SMASH YOUR FEARS Hi guys, Here I am with an interesting topic : Smash your fears!! I am passionate about reading and listening to challenging talks and conferences and today I bumped into this beautiful talk holds by a famous American astronaut. https://www.ted.com/talks/chris_hadfield_what_i_learned_from_going_blind_in_space I personally believe he is insanely right about what he says about fear and goals. He is so right when he urges us to go with our fears because our fears shapes a false reality and we live in it almost blind, without the courage of breaking our false beliefs. He made me laugh when saying we are terribly scared of being wrapped in a spiderweb maybe in our basement or while walking in the park during morning. There is nothing really dangerous in having some harmless spiderweb on the face or the shoulders, there is no enormous spider ready to eat your head nor to bite your butt. We react to badly and so out of reason because we are so wrapped in our ancient fears, we act like cave men back some 100 thousands years ago when they could be killed by animals every now and then. That’s not our case so smash with your face 10, 20 , 30 spiderweb and see that’s nothing wrong is gonna happen and you’ll be still alive. Try. Our mind is so powerful that can make us do amazing thing but also make us fall into a blind , stupid fears that prevent us from being ourselves, from achieving our goals, from doing things that many other people do while smiling and we avoid it because we fell our spine shaking from fear, terror, panic. We absolutely can’t avoid the feeling of fear it’s entirely part of our nature, species and it has the aim of preserving our life but today most of our fears are absolutely without reasons and they just harm us intimately, so think about that. Challenge yourself in little fear on a daily basis and then keep on doing that, I found out that after a while you won’t feel fear anymore towards that action. Take some risks, there’s only one life, don’t close doors because you have the fear of getting to know what behind them. Open them, open your hearts, be alive.

MASTER A LANGUAGE WITH 6 SENTENCES Hi everyone, I am a passionate language learner and I have always wondered about the best language method for learning languages quickly but effectively. I just bumped into Tim Ferris a very very clever guy who wrote books about personal challenges and he gave an insight about handling a new language and he believes that starting from translating these 6 phrases into the TARGET LANGUAGE will make you understand many things and then you can carry on learning more vocabulary and try to mix these 6 sentences. I AM GOING TO ASK THE PEOPLE WHO READ THIS ARTICLE TO TRANSLATE AND WRITE INTO THEIR NATIVE LANGUAGE THESE SIX SENTENCES ON THE BEHALF ON EVERYONE ELSE: 1. THE APPLE IS RED 2. IT IS JOHN’S APPLE 3. I GIVE JOHN THE APPLE 4. WE WANT TO GIVE HIM THE APPLE 5. HE GIVES IT TO JOHN 6. SHE GIVES IT TO HIM Thanks for the sharing. Alessandro

Have you ever tried german? Hi guys, I am an italian native speaker but I have been studying english for 5 years so I reached a very high level in particular in the speaking part. I have , of course, been through the learning process and I know all the challeges of learning a new language. Nonetheless I 've been struggling too much to learn German and I was wondering if any of you have been through the process of learning this , apparently tough language. My need is to focus on the speaking part, I basically need it in my job and I don't need to be very accurate with grammar for example but I need to gain fluency in speaking and , of course, understanding. Any advice would be highly appreciated. Best regards to everybody, Alessandro ,Venice.

Easy choices, hard life. Hard choices, easy life. I am starting this article with this quote from jerzy gregorek :" Easy choices hard life, Hard choices easy life". Is it strange? I was listening to Tim Ferris in one of his amazing talks and he came up with this phrase who really made me think about my life and the possibile outcome of my choices. The main topic was FEAR of doing, of being, of having, of trying, in general Tim was trying to focus his speech on how we could dramatically change our lives if we figure out our fears instead of reaching out for our goals. It sounds not usual but it is very interesting once you've tried it. The main principle is to draw a table where you write down the possibile outcomes of your fears... Do you want an example? Let's say.. I would like to leave my partner.. FIRST: What is my biggest fear abut that? The biggest fear is to be alone and feel miserable (example) SECOND: What can I do to prevent this outcome after my action? Well, I could talk to people that have already done that with a positive attitude, I could talk to them express my feeling, my anxieties and understand the fact that my fear is not the reality. THIRD: IF my fear became real (in this case I 've left my partner and feel really alone) what can I do to heal? Well, I could be join friends, people, I could enlarge my circle of social interaction and meeting new and interesting people. Can you try that for most of your fears? You'll find this VERY challenging yet very useful tool to be HAPPIER. Last thing I'd like to share is this: when you don't find the courage of taking action you have to take into account the side effects of the INaction so ask yourself this question: How my life will be if I stay in this situation for other 6 months.. or 1 years.. or 3 years?? ANSWER HONESTLY... What seems a trivial game can turn out in an amazing improvement for your lives, now take the paper and try what I just told you in this article. This is fucking powerful. Well, I leave you with a last quote and I want you to think about this one as well: " We more often suffer in our immagination than in reality" ( Seneca). Have a good day and let me know the feelings you will have after trying this exercise.

THE PATH TOWARD YOURSELF 2 We are afraid of being alone and we try to cover our loneliness through fake and unhealthy relationships, through drugs, through religion, everything that seems to fill the hole we have within ourselves.. but this mechanism doesn’t seem to work properly just because in all our attempts to be happy we look for happiness outside ourselves, we basically put our moods in the hands of others.. either a lover or a child or someone.. Can you believe that? Well, you will be endlessly disappointed sooner or later because you are not in control of what is outside so you cannot be sure of what is going to happen, that would make you anxious,worried, restlessly looking for a security you will never have simply because it doesn’t exist. Take you risks, be yourself ALWAYS because you can make all the mistakes you want and be happy if you follow your inner path, don’t be another person, don’t waste what is your nature and your dreams, you are unique so just simply perfect.Under my heavy and written sheet of old paper I am still thirsty, empty, eagernessly ready to take a sip of life from a different flask,now.

THE PATH TOWARD YOURSELF This afternoon I am sitting at my desk and I have just thought about sharing what can be possibly useful for others, maybe.. for you. I have been wandering my whole life in searching of meaning, in searching of peace, inner peace, that sensation that makes you smile with a smile that comes directly from your deepest, most intimate, and truest soul.I should have discovered the secret of happiness then?... Well in that case I am going to disappoint you because I didn’t catch that secret because it simply does not exist. I tried to wear several masks according to the people I used to hang out with. I tried to fit the society I’ve been trying to be the person I am not for many many years becauseit is hard to be different from what the others think you are and you must be. We are so fucking different from what we are taught to be? Anger, resentment, frustration, pain, mental illness they often come from a negation of ourselves and do not think you have nothing to do with that. How many times you wanted to do something and to be someone but something has stopped you from exposing yourself?I am pretty sure hundreds of times, well, in my case, probably, thousands and thousands of times, and every time I wasn’t even noticing that I had been wounded from giving up a part of myself and will. I was holding a baby around 30 days old the other day and I was thinking about how innocent is this creature, she was like a blank sheet, nothing has been written on her skin yet From now on that little baby is going to be affected , I would say strongly affected by bias and beliefs that will come from parents,relatives,friends,society and those entities are going to shape her personality in a way that will be very difficult to change when she will be an adult.In a profound insight I saw my entire life in a bit, millions of thoughts, words, actions, beliefs , teachings all these things together has shaped who I am what my sheet of life should be.How many people are being prevented from being themselves, from speaking out and sharing their real self to the world?We live in a sweltering society where you have to fit with others you’d better comply with the people so to be accepted and not rejected. IT IS GOING TO BE FINISHED IN THE NEXT ARTICLE I DONT HAVE ANY CHARACTERS LEFT.

what I learned I learned I am a very great person.
