Bertrand Russell The intellectual thing I should want to say to them, is this: When you are studying any matter, or considering any philosophy, ask yourself only what are the facts and what is the truth that the facts bear out. Never let yourself be diverted, either by what you wish to believe, or by what you think would have beneficent social effects if it were believed. But look only, and solely, at what are the facts. That is the intellectual thing that I should wish to say. The moral thing I should wish to say to them is very simple: I should say, love is wise, hatred is foolish. In this world, which is getting more and more closely interconnected, we have to learn to tolerate each other, we have to learn to put up with the fact that some people say things that we dont like. We can only live together in that wayand if we are to live together and not die togetherwe must learn a kind of charity and a kind of tolerance, which is absolutely vital to the continuation of human life on this planet. -----I wish the earlier me understood work and practice more. Just the repeated concerted effort to get better at things. I wish I didnt have the notions of talent and genius I had back then. I thought, Oh, these other people, they just have something that I dont have. When really, they are just people who work more.

Implementation Intentions
An II is simply a plan in which you link a situational cue with a response that will bring you closer to fulfilling your goal. To do this, all you have to do is reframe your goals as if-then statements. The if part is the situational cue; the then part is your planned response to that cue. Thus your goal of working out more becomes If it is Monday, Wednesday, or Friday at 7AM, then I will leave for the gym. I want to plan regularly becomes If its 9PM on Sunday night, then I will make my schedule for the coming week. I want to save $2,000 this year becomes When I get my paycheck, I will deposit 10% into my savings account. I want to reduce my caffeine consumption becomes When I get a craving for coffee, then I will drink a glass of water. Make sure your goals are clear and strong. Identify your personal obstacles to starting and sticking with your goals. Create the If. Create the Then.
Make your if-then statements as specific as possible.
