A reason underlying this at what was hinted at is the cultural differences and the pressures of &quot;saving face&quot;, which points towards why people in HK don&#039;t respect startup culture.

It cost me about $7 and you can read it instantly after downloading it. - Will Lam Wed, 24 Aug 2011 22:21:43 +0000 http://ryanwaggoner.com/2010/11/the-greatest-secret-in-the-world/#IDComment186270874 http://ryanwaggoner.com/2010/11/the-greatest-secret-in-the-world/#IDComment186270344 Hey Ryan! Solid post! Thank you for posting this on HackerNews otherwise I would never stumbled across this gem of a blog post. In any case, your post really resonated with me. &quot;The Greatest Secret in the World&quot; reminded me of another book that I&#039;ve held close by myself (and in pretty beat up condition after tossing it around the past 3 years) is Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill. I&#039;ve followed that book to the tee and have had fantastic results in terms of building self discipline, belief in oneself, motivation, visualization and the like. I ordered the book via Kindle for my Android phone and I&#039;m only week one.. but I can only imagination the outward manifestations of this book outside of the &quot;inner stuff&quot; that this book drills into your brain. A blog post will shortly follow after week one! Thanks again for writing, Ryan Cheers! - Will Lam Wed, 24 Aug 2011 22:20:03 +0000 http://ryanwaggoner.com/2010/11/the-greatest-secret-in-the-world/#IDComment186270344 http://www.galvanizd.com/?p=125#IDComment45213916 Haha, hey David! I&#039;ve taken some time off from the gym (bad idea because I broke an otherwise awesome habit) to focus on writing.. after that I got sick for like 3 weeks with a damned persistent cough - which spelled the doom of my abs. lol. Anyway, I&#039;ve been working on a new business model for my website. Let me know when you&#039;re back in Toronto and we&#039;ll catch up!

I completely agree with you. Thank you for your feedback on the &quot;American&quot; perspective on the education system. I didn&#039;t truly understand &quot;critical thinking&quot; even at the ripe age of 25. I feel that critical analysis and thinking skills should be fostered at a very early age. For the most part, students stumble through grade school all the way to post-secondary without having these fundamental but sorely needed skills to succeed academically. I remember reading an article on the success of the Finnish Education system and their emphasis on critical thinking and problem solving skills - definitely a departure from both the Canadian and American systems. I found this article about the Dallas school board trying to reform and emulate the Finnish eduaction model here <a href="http://tr.im/i9vY" target="_blank">http://tr.im/i9vY</a> Thu, 2 Apr 2009 16:30:25 +0000 http://www.galvanizd.com/2009/02/13/the-problem-with-learning-in-business-school/#IDComment18027296 http://openmode.ca/2009/01/the-real-limit-of-social-media/#IDComment14036694 profound and compact post Malcolm. Thank you for writing this. With respect to your question, &quot;In a world where everybody is given the keys to a life of not only survival, but of self-discovery, what are you going to do?&quot;, can be a pandora&#039;s box in and of itself... I&#039;d anticipate if anyone sees themselves as a bottleneck to their own progress many would shirk and slink away back into their comfort zones of what they perceive as &quot;creating value&quot;. This process of questioning their limits and capacity to contribute can paralyze or empower you depending on your mindset.

I read to expose myself to to new ideas - to learn, grow and apply. You&#039;re absolutely right with respect to do the doing. Like I said in my last paragraph of this page, if I&#039;ve successfully applied only one concept or idea I&#039;ve learned from a book I&#039;ve read, the priced I paid for the book was worth every single penny. But what if you didn&#039;t know there was a BETTER way of &#039;doing&#039;? That&#039;s why I read :) Fri, 2 Jan 2009 19:30:35 +0000 http://www.galvanizd.com/failure-reading-2008/#IDComment13489061 http://www.galvanizd.com/2008/12/03/the-top-5-motivational-clips-on-youtube/#IDComment13311183 update: it&#039;s back to normal with some added improvements :) Wed, 31 Dec 2008 07:38:01 +0000 http://www.galvanizd.com/2008/12/03/the-top-5-motivational-clips-on-youtube/#IDComment13311183
