Day1-28/11/2011 I read the 'Project Ubermensch' by Ubermensch and so I was thinking of doing the same kind of thread. I will keep it short for now Financial: $50mil net worth by Dec 2021 Physical: Exercise everyday(I MUST!) Language: Learn Japanese, Chinese and Korean. Progress today: Spent 30minutes learning Japanese on renshuu.org Last edited by milkyboon; 11-29-2011 at 11:32 AM. |

hi, just 1 suggestion, if you want to achieve something a phrase like "exercise if possible" should not be in your vocabulary. You should think more like it is a fact, it is going to happen, rain or shine, even if you are a little sick, even if you have pain - modify the intensity, but it has to be done. Otherwise, your brain will win and you will start making million of excuses why not to do something. It has to be done like breathing - no discussion with the brain. Every time brain comes to talk to you about your sofa - smack it!  Edit: and what is 30 minutes??? I eat longer than that!  get serious hours into it

Progress today: -Did 4 ACCA questions. Exam is coming up, so, well. Was supposed to do 10... hahaha... -Drill Japanese on renshuu.org -Did a few pull ups, ab roller, and push ups. My, I have weaken considerably. Obstacle right now: my exams, or rather my procrastination and using 'exams' to not do housework and exercise and study languages. Procrastination! Die! I was thinking of writing reviews on how I study, the methods I use, so that those that are reading my thread could learn something. Renshuu.org review renshuu.org - Japanese studying made for you! Why you should use this: Conventional Learning Most of the language learners only get to know about translations; like 好き-like 私-me or something like that. In my opinion, its not efficient. Pro:Tons of information and website around Con:Only useful if you have photographic memory The next level is using Anki(Anki - friendly, intelligent flashcards) This Anki works by showing you the flashcard, and you have to rate yourself on how good you remember it through a scale(Very Good,Good,Medium,Little,I forgot). Good if you have self-discipline to muster and lots of honesty. Its one of the most efficient learning mode, learning using flashcards. There is a cellphone version of it, PSP, Nintendo DS, and so on. Good to learn on the go. Many languages are available Pro:Good to learn on the go,Tons of flashcards around, a big community, many languages and Free! Con oesnt tell me when Im wrongThen this is the one Im using Renshuu(renshuu.org - Japanese studying made for you!) For me, I like it when the program could tell me Im wrong and when Im right. Its similar to the late and wonderful smart.fm (which became paid. And... the wonderful community that built around it simply crumbled) Its just like choosing ABCD. Very easy. Pro:Suits me enough for me to like it and its free!(with more functions when you pay that is...)Con:There is no portable version. Side Note: There is another program that is similar to renshuu.org. Its called kanjibox. A nifty program, portable, paid, and as useful as renshuu. But renshuu got more functions! And... how do I make a picture show up in this thread? I uploaded some pictures but I cant see it.     Last edited by milkyboon; 11-29-2011 at 11:59 AM. | |

you are welcome more advice: in the words of many wise people: every next day you MUST outperform your performance of the previous day (here I am specifically talking about your fitness, because mental activities i don't think follow this rule) also: prioritise - when I look at your goals something tells me the $50 million and the physical are much more important than the language bit? so why are you spending your time on priority number 3 when you have not done anything for #1? you can do it!! |

Ah, well. For the $50 mil, I just have a general plan. If I start with $3000(actually RM10000) and to end up with $50mil in the next 10 years, I would need to have a compound interest of 8.2% every month. It will look something like this 2011 July 10000 2011 Aug 10820 2011 Sept11708 2011 Oct 12669 2011 Nov 13708 2011 Dec 14833 ... 2021 Dec 50000000 I have somewhat about 20000 right now. So, still ahead of plan. Study:7 ACCA questions Financial:None Physical: -3set10 Diamond Push Up -3set3 Pullup -3set20 Abwheel -2set15 Squat with 7kg weight backpack. Language:30minutes renshuu Play:5hours Minecraft!?(I really gotta stop this) |
