In the fall of my senior year of college at Penn State Altoona, I walked into the office of the late coach Armon Gilliam. Gilliam had actually kicked me of the club in my junior year — we had diferences in philosophy as to how I should have been utilized (read about it here, here, and here) — but we were cool on a personal level. Basketball was business to both of us; we had even played some pickup together [...]

This is a review from my Favorite Books list; the link from which will be also on the Books Page. *** “The Secret is the law of attraction!

This is a review from my Favorite Books list; the link from which will be also on the Books Page. *** “Ambitious parents who are currently playing the ‘Baby Mozart’ video for their toddlers may be disappointed to learn that Mozart became Mozart by working furiously hard.” I used to be different. I used to think “talent” was this god-given blessing to a baby in the womb, a destiny to be a famous writer or football player. That someone was [...]
*Nothing in this post (or the entirety of this site, for that matter) has been medically examined, and you should consult a licensed professional before putting any supplements into your body.* I am often asked about taking supplements. Here’s my answer: I do not take any supplements and haven’t taken any in years. Last supplement I used was powdered protein, which aids in muscle building (generally speaking).

Linked is a talk given by Charles Munger, longtime business partner of Warren Buffett. Munger’s talk is based on picking stock, which is something that I do not do.

It’s long — maening most won’t bother to read it — but it was worth it to me just for a handful [...]
This is a great article from Men’s Journal about a blind man who refuses to be stigmatized as crippled or unable to do for himself. A great read: ———- Daniel Kish has been sightless since he was a year old. Yet he can mountain bike. And navigate the wilderness alone. And recognize a building as far away as 1,000 feet. How?
