At the ‘Beyond Belief’ discussion, Neil Tyson rebukes Richard Dawkins for his rhetorical style and Dawkins responds brilliantly. This is one of the reason I love science, if you don’t, watch what Dawkins has to say.

My favorite quote from the one and only, Bruce Lee. “Be formless… shapeless, like water. Now you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle; it becomes the bottle. You put it into a teapot; it becomes the teapot. Water can flow, or it can crash. Be water, my friend” Watch the video and be amazed!

You’ve got a big, important report to write for work and you’re dreading it. The deadline has been weighing on your mind for weeks and so far, you’ve done nothing about it. At this point, its do or die situation. Still, you set aside time this afternoon to buckle down and get to work, but instead you’re playing Solitaire, you’re checking Facebook, you’re reorganizing your pens, you’re chain-smoking on the fire escape, and you’re feeling like crap. You’re procrastinating.
If you think you are alone in doing so, you are wrong. Everybody I know is facing the same situation. They keep delaying their important stuff. Some people think that this is not the right time or perfect time to do it, some people think let me just watch one last Youtube video before I get started on it. The reason are different but the phenomena is same, Procrastination.
The only way to make procrastination productive is to get SOMETHING done instead of EVERYTHING. This will at least get you started and starting means the hardest part if over, which is stop delaying. Let me know in comments how you deal with your Procrastination and how you make your day more productive by GTD.

Alan Watts speaking about Success. Life is like a music, there is no “meaning of life” or “purpose of life”. Life is meant to be enjoyed and cherish all little things and those moments. Its not about finding the destination, its about enjoying the journey.

Do you have difficulty finding a parking spot in downtown or crowded area? Well, here is the solution, create your own parking spot. This lady is so smart that she used transparent plastic layer with white solid lines as to fool cops thinking its a legit parking space. She also put a parking sign on the pole. (The font of parking sign looks fishy though, may be Beijing has those kind of signs)

Do you know how tiny we actually are? Our mind can’t really process the word “12 billion light year”. Watch this short clip to get a glance of how tiny we really are in this universe. Earth is like a dot compared to other stars in this galaxy. Our planet is just a dust in the wind.

If at first you don’t succeed, keep trying, or should you? This is the reason why dudes should not try giving motivational speech.
