The principle of compassion lies at the heart of all religious, ethical and spiritual traditions, calling us always to treat all others as we wish to be treated ourselves. Compassion impels us to work tirelessly to alleviate the suffering of our fellow creatures, to dethrone ourselves from the centre of our world and put another there, and to honour the inviolable sanctity of every single human being, treating everybody, without exception, with absolute justice, equity and respect.
- Charter for Compassion

NOTES:

• 10 year plan: Talk to people 10years older than you and find out what they are thinking/worry about
• Extra cash can be invested or spent on experiences to enrich your life
• Define your TMI (target monthly income) based on the experiences and lifestyle you want
• Work on eliminating your dependency on materialistic things (don’t link your value to finances)

NOTES:

• Lead by example – ‘Practise what you Preach’
• Invite them to experience the alternatives Eg. Personal outsourcing – start with something small and fun for positive first experience
• Let them know you are available, but they need to realise it themselves
• Remember that people will get defensive if they feel like they are lacking

NOTES:

• Self Publishing is now perceived as more credible
• If you aim to make money – Self Publish
• If you aim to create the foundation for national and international reach – Traditional Publisher
• Not all publishers are the same, most are bad – “Publishers are good at 2 things… distribution and designing book covers”, they don’t do marketing
• Publishers are good for Retail Distribution, Editing and Recognition by mainstream media
• Traditional Publishers help you create credibility and be viewed as ‘authentic’ author – access to more opportunities and resources

This is probably the most entertaining TED talk I’ve hears so far, definitely worth the watch =)

Notes:

• The world is full of snobs
  • Snobs = sb who takes a small part of you and uses that to come to a complete vision of who you are (prejudice)
  • Eg. Job Snobbery = “What do you do?”
• Most people make a strict correlation between how much time, love, respect we receive depending on our position in the hierarchy
• It’s not the material goods (career, status etc) we want, it’s the rewards we want
• Modern Society is now about equality, where anyone can rise to any position and they are able to achieve anything.
  • Envy derives from those who we can relate to
• Meritocracy: people deserve to be at the top/bottom
  • Increase in suicide due to people who take failures personally
• Judgement and Ridicule Vs Tragedy
  • via Media
• Success + Loss, you can’t have one without the other
• Our environment influences our desires
• “Make sure our ideas of success are truely our own“

NOTES:

• Never contact someone with a request or favour
• Volunteering your time for organisations which open up opportunities to meet famous people
• Befriend someone who has 1 degree of separation from the famous person, someone you can establish trust with
• Establish your network before you use it
• Find common ground (don’t talk business) and keep in contact with them
• Put yourself in their shoes – research what they want
• Know why you want to meet them – Be specific
• Make them interested in you so they will want to meet you

NOTES:

• Find unique niche, be passionate and know where they hangout!
• Find your taget and tell them about yourself – build credibility
• Credibility is perception, how can you gain trust (acceptance, recognition)

NOTES:

• You’ll find it easiest to write something you’re passionate about, and it will generally receive a better response from readers.
• It’s important to have content which readers find of interest and/or can relate to.

NOTES:

• Very early or very late, depends on your audience
• Re-date unpopular posts because first impressions count

Personally, I think that there is no clearcut “optimal” time to post because of the lack of time limitations of the internet (ie. there’s always going to be people surfing the net at any given time).

Instead, you have to think about what time and what days your audience would be online.
