Why Things Suck (and How to Make Everything Awesome Again) – Part 1

Hey guys, please listen carefully.  Normally this is where I’d offer a “fun bribe” in exchange for leaving a comment.  I love that kind of thing.  It’s a great way to make learning fun.

This time … no bribes.  Instead, I want to make a plea.

What I have to share with you in this series is something that will not only change your life for the better quite rapidly, but has the potential to change the world.   (No exaggeration.  It’s that big.)

Here’s the deal: involvement improves learning.  It’s a well-established psychological phenomenon.  So, whether or not this lesson “sticks” in your brain or is lost in the sea of Internet noise depends on whether you choose to get involved.

Taking just a moment to post a guess will improve your chances of remembering this lesson exponentially.

P.S. Yes, this is the build up to “Experimental New Feature #3.”

AKA Simpleology 5.7.

    The patient development of habits that serve the end in mind.

  26. Alan Steacy says:

    Funny thing you should use the clean and dirty bathroom as one of your examples, Mark.

    My wife has been after me to scour the tub for several weeks now, so each time I shower, there’s that nagging voice in my head that says, “You know what you gotta do, why don’t you just do it, get it over with and enjoy a sparkling clean, guilt-free tub.”

    The difference is deciding to do what needs to be done now, even if it means getting down on your knees with a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser, so you can reap the sparkling rewards later.

  27. John Lewis says:

    Attitude

  28. Trevor Greenfield says:

    To stop with focusing but start activate awareness and creativity together

  30. Eva says:

    We all have our own perceptions as to what sucks and what’s awesome, whether that be based on our own lives, or the world around us. And they can be for many different reasons, such as: Nationality, Religion, our Demographics, Wealth, Health and our upbringing. Whether we grew up in a family unit, or not ?
    So many different variables. One possible answer may be for us to collectively settle on a middle ground. One that could provide everyone the opportunity to work toward their own awesome, through Guidance, Motivation, Education, and Support (emotionally or financially) . Providing help to people no matter their current environment/situation, gender or financial status, making awesome attainable for one and all.
