5 – definition of focus by steve jobs
-“people think focus means saying yes to the thing you’ve got to focus on. but thats not what it means at all. it means saying no to the hundred other good ideas that there are. you have to pick carefully. im actually as proud of the things we haven’t done as the things I have done. innovation is saying no to 1000 things”
-I think this saying can be a good guideline for everyone on how to focus
-pick only the only thing and say no to all the others
-it trains you to be discipline and think which one thing can you only focus on, if you can only choose one and drop all the others

7 – the following advices by matt ridley :
-dont be intimidated by anything. in the vast majority of the professions and vocations, the people who succeed are not any cleverer than you. the adult world is not full of gods, just people who have acquired skills and habits that work for them. and specialize – the great human achievement is to specialize as a producer of goods or services so that you can diversify as a consumer

8 – advices for writers by tim urban
-tribe of mentors, pg 47
-no need to write for the readers
-just write for yourself, your favorite topics, your favorite styles of writing, just be you and write for you

9 – the meaning of time-freedom
-scheduling is freedom
-discipline is freedom
-daily habits are freedom
-rules are freedom
-pre-set triggers & actions are freedom
-all these are freedom because it frees your mind from needing to think what to do next and it frees your willpower from the need to execute and to choose and to decide
-no need to think and decide for small things. just follow your daily habits and schedules
-conserve your mind and willpower for big decisions and big tasks

10 – chinese proverb, which I think sangat kena dgn traders : “if you must play, decide on three things at the start : the rules of the game, the stakes, and the quitting time”

and also this quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson, also I think sangat kena dengan traders and investors : “as to methods there may be a million and then some, but principles are few. the man who grasps principles can successfully select his own methods. the man who tries methods, ignoring principles, is sure to have trouble”

11 – successful people mesti ada 2 sifat nie, I found that many of them do : satu, consistent learning, dua, master communications, either speaking or writing.
-consistent learning : reading, seminar, lectures, etc
-communications : speaking, writing
-wajib buat dua2 nie

15 – remember 2 key principles (from tools of titans)

1) success, however you define it, is achievable if you collect the right field-tested beliefs and habits

2) the superheroes you have in your mind (idols, icons, titans, billionaires, etc) are nearly all walking flaws who’ve maximized 1 or 2 strengths

-you succeed because you find your unique strengths and focus on developing habits around them
