start.

2 days before his match with the undefeated back then Mike
Tyson, Buster Douglas’s mother died. Douglas was preparing
for one of the most difficult challenges that he had until
that time of his life and another calamity hit his life. It is
obvious that it was a very hard period for him, yet he managed
to beat the ‘undisputed’ heavyweight champion of that time
Mike Tyson via knockout, because he had a reason.

Windows 10 is one of the latest operating systems that has
been announced recently, and new versions of Windows series
have been produced throughout the years. Its first version was
released nearly 30 years ago and it differs so much, that it
would be even difficult for a stranger to identify
them as units of the same family.
About two years ago I started practicing speed reading,
because I wanted to read more and the challenge of reading
more books per year excited me. I started to quickly move my
eyes through the lines, because I had the opinion that not
everything included in a text is with the same importance and
not being able to recall a lot of things seemed normal.
However, I was a bit ashamed that sometimes I wasn’t able to
recall almost anything from a chapter, because I found myself
tending to be impressive by showing the others that I was able
to read a lot of pages for a short period of time.

Ryan Holiday in his book
“The obstacle is the way” mentions one of the
greatest samurai warriors that ever lived, Miyamoto Musashi,

Is there anything that you wish you did yesterday, but you
didn’t? If not yesterday, how about last week, month or year?

opportunities in the past, then you can continue to read.

Time management is one of the most wide-spread advice we hear
that can help us be more productive. However, you and I are
witnesses of our own personal experience of periods when we
had a considerable amount of time available, but we couldn’t
concentrate properly and get anything done at all. Aside from
planning our day according to your priorities, it is of a
crucial importance to bear in mind the fact the you should try
to also manage your energy.

We are constantly being bombarded by thousands of tools and
apps that try to attract us to use them, that we are even
being into dilemmas about which tool should we choose. Instead
of first having a motive, then a plan about what we want to
accomplish, we try to begin with a search on Google about the
best tool. Even though there are some really good tools that
can make your work easier, usually the type of tool is not the
main culprit, but yourself, because you are trying to hide and
avoid the uncomfortable work. Don’t believe me? Let’s take
some examples.
A lot of people seem to be very enthusiastic about the
beginning of a New Year and the new opportunity that it
brings, but this enthusiasm usually fades after a few weeks.
First of all this can be as a result of a lack of clarity that
accompanies their planning and vividness of the goals that
they want to achieve. They aren’t seeing a clear target and as
a result they aren’t being attracted and inspired to take
action. Maybe doing a little trick will help your resume and
you to fix this mist.
