What I've Been Reading

On Becoming an Individual or HOW TO SAVE THE WORLD by one of my favorite bloggers, David Cain. It's a small free e-book, loaded with great insights in a colloquial format.

Here's one self-improvement truism that's worth remembering:

People usually overestimate what they can do in a year, but greatly underestimate what they can do in five years.


What's most important to understand is that the time will pass anyway, and you will either have something outstanding to show for it, or life can be pretty much the same as it is today.

A year passes quickly, and truly big plans tend to take 3-5 years to fully take form. But you can still make a night-and-day difference in your quality of life over only a year if you begin building something now.
