These autodidacts who succeed


One often speaks with admiration about these scientists or contractors of reputation made at the top about their art in a self-educated way, without significant diploma. That they are called Thomas Edison, inventor to the thousand and one patents, Charles Darwin and his theory of the evolution or Steve Jobs, the leader of Apple, all knew to be formed by them-even with the variation of the education institutions. And their success testifies to the effectiveness which this mode of training can have, which is however less easy to implement and with dimensions than the royal roads of higher education.

But which are thus the characteristics of this mode of formation which have permi to them to better succeed that the majority of the framed pupils? It is the question which one will try to answer in this article

What would I make if I needed never again to work for money? (3)

[Return to the 2nd part]

It is good to improvise, but to reach these states of grace where the creativity runs with flood, it is necessary well to control its Article And all that, it is work! Thus finally one does not escape from it, but notice that it is well work chosen, and not forced by pecuniary constraints.

Personally to evolve/move most quickly, I would adapt the services of a virtuoso of art in question. For example, considering I am a fan of the station-wagon-dance hall of Michael Jackson, I could have looked with length of day his clips to inspire to me here is besides only for the pleasure:


But if I engage his professor of dance directly, I would learn obviously much more quickly. Without counting that this one will be able to also to inculcate the motivation and the discipline me necessary to advance, having already passed by there.

I know well that certain disciplines can be also learned all alone, as an autodidact, but the interaction with a Master will remain always essential. Even the greatest geniuses were assisted at one moment or another. A Master knows the traps to be avoided, the networks of experts, the best suppliers of equipment, it knows where to go to seek information and has the capacity to inspire only by showing the extent of the possibilities offered. Its critical glance will be able to also make evolve/move the apprentice in the right direction and overcome the difficulties which arise.

So with that I remain on a poor level, I will have then to make the share between persistence and stubbornness. Because finally, how to be sure to be really made for this activity that I dream to control? 10 should years be spent to be involved hard to reach a mean level in an art, where 5 years are enough to be propelled to the signal in another? It is certain that reality is sometimes hard to accept, and one will need real talents of introspection to choose judiciously. But if the track appears without exit, it is not a problem: I will quite simply explore the next discipline which attracts me.

The exposure to the old discipline will not be lost for as much. Because it will have already made germinated a whole heap of new concepts which could be used in the next discipline that I will explore. For example, if I learned the rudiments from the station-wagon dance hall, perhaps will be able I to mix certain movements with the Argentinian tango, in order to create a new style! Of course, this example is easy since one speaks here about two disciplines belonging to the same art: dance. But it is clear that the mixture can also occur, and will be even more innovating if it is located at the intersection of two radically different sectors.

I will borrow for that the example of the bringing together which made Richard Dawkins in his book the egoistic gene, written in 1976, between the genetic evolution and the cultural evolution. It suggested that the ideas, which constitute bricks of our culture, evolve/move and are propagated like genes. It called these bricks of same and wrote that same can be a song, an idea, an attack of sentence, a tendency of the mode, a way of doing of the potteries or to build arches. In the same way that the genes are propagated on a worldwide scale while passing from one body to another via sperm and eggs, the same ones are propagated while passing from one brain to another thanks to the process of imitation.

You imagine? Each same fight thus for its survival in our limp cranial. Some persist and change, while others disappear. This new concept, exit of nowhere, were so new that it generated a new discipline: the m�m�tique one.

It is thus obvious that to diversify will be a major asset to reach the broadest possible open-minded. Contrary to a conventional job, to grow with the intersection of so many disciplines makes it possible to put to us at the abrit routine, which will produce a more enthralling life. At the end of this tour, there will be more hidden chance to have found his vocation or talents, more chance to have invented or have discovered things suitable to advance the company in a sigificative way.

And since one gives us here the luxury of the money but not of eternal youth, it will be soon time of coacher the changing, to transmit all this invaluable knowledge acqui of so much of varied experiments. To make sure that our same the most invaluable will not fall into the lapse of memory. To die finally by having the feeling to have tasted with the pleasure of an exciting life leading to progress.

What would I make if I needed never again to work for money? (2)


[Return to the 1st part]

The concentration and the discipline, here is a challenge which would be hard to hold if I were free to do what I want. Because what I in the final analysis like, it is to improvise. The improvisation is one of the means most pleasant to live in the moment present, instead of thinking in project mode. In a spontaneous way instead of rejouer a preestablished scenario is created. One leaves into live. One enjoys with his right value the taste of freedom!

Among the activities favourable with the improvisation, two disciplines marked me much: the improvisation with the piano and dance in couple.

If you want to have an outline of how one can have fun while improvising with the piano, I propose to you to look at this small video of Tom and Jerry, on the very known piece of Liszt: Hungarian Rhapsody n�2:

Note the evolution of the piece, which starts very structured and finishes in total freestyle. This reflects perfectly the process of improvisation, which generally leaves a quite precise topic to which one progressively applies more and more variations. According to you, which part of the piece will make more vibrate the spectator?

Side of the dance in couple, it is the aspect complicity which adds pepper to the discipline. The two partners must act as total osmosis if they want to offer spectacle. And it is by subtle indicators like a pressure in the handshake or the glance that the partner will know how it must react. The sequence of the master keys is not known in advance, and one can vary them many manners, giving a single result each time.

A last discipline that I did not have the occasion to practise but which me fascine, it is the theatre of improvisation. One finds there as this complicity between the various actors, with share as this time, there is generally no leader. And thus the actors are more capable to combine their creative capacity. In their best moments, these spectacles produce an authenticity, a spontaneousness and a humour ravageurs able to ignite the most demanding audiences.

3rd part

What would I make if I needed never again to work for money? (1)

Michael, author of the blog rich and organizing Esprit of the event In Crois�e of Blogs of this month proposes a very interesting exercise of dreamstorming to us: to imagine what one would do if one did not need more to work for money. You see the scenario? Finished the years of constraint, you can from now on make as good seems to you without worrying if people will pay for what you bring to the company. You have freehand!

Does that want to say that one must become pretending, to spend its time having fun the festival or with pr�lasser in front of water turquoises of a tropical island? There are strong chances that this kind of thing will initially evacuate all the stress generated by the old job. But to tell the truth, a mortal trouble will quickly come to settle in replacement, and new challenges will have soon to be found.

Because when one speaks about happiness, I believe firmly in the definition that Tim Ferriss in its book gives the 4 hours week, namely the excitation. You know: these small flames of passion which ignite in the eyes, here is a state which proves that one is really alive.

Personally, my life would resemble much so that describe Tim Ferriss in its book. It would be a travelling outfit where I would learn with each stage space from a few best months from than my destination would have to teach me. As quoted in the book of Tim, I well would make me the hand on martial arts in Asia or the Latin dances in South America. But why not still Indian kitchen, the gypsy music, songs Arab or other arts of which I do not even suspect the existence.

If you read my course a little, you know that I already on often the occasion to travel. And it is like a drug: once one tasted there, average to leave there. But despite everything happiness that my stays in the various countries bring to me where I on the occasion to reside, there is always this bitter taste of work. Not only it tears off you invaluable hours, but in more it pumps your energy, so that left the office, any activity annexes will be much less productive than if it had been practised full-time.

One of the best examples was my training of the Madagascan during the two years and half where I remained in Madagascar. Despite everything my good will, the interminable hours to read the books of dialogue and vocabulary, the contacts daily with the inhabitants and my colleagues, I must admit well that my knowledge remained very limited. I could not reach the point of rocker from which I can support an interesting conversation. Consequently, last the usual sentences, I was wedged and I could not speak without annoying my interlocutors. And as people of the capital are as a majority bilingual, there was always the solution of facility of French!

I remain persuaded that I could have learned more in a few months if I had made a training course in total immersion. Because to learn a language, the best means is to impregnate itself some so much so that one ends up thinking in this language. But with my community activity, not average to concentrate there on the Madagascan.

Interview with Sebastien Night, coach in seduction (2nd part)

Also think of subjecting the topics of articles which you wish to see treated by Sebastien Night on It flash! in the comments at the end of the page!!

Argancel: I would like that one speaks a little about Inner Game. I.e. which are the methods which you apply, of which you know that they function. The PNL was already quoted

Sebastien Night: Then do Inner Range, you speak about self-confidence?

Argancel: I.e. how one will prepare psychologically to have the effects which one wants. Perhaps that one will do a little hypnosis for the self-confidence, or will do a little meditation to find peace interior. Are you the lawyer of certain techniques which function better than of others, than you tested yourself and than you like to apply?

Sebastien Night: I do not believe in the techniques, in a general way. Therefore there is no technique in my method of seduction. On the other hand I believe in basic principles, which will remain always true and which makes that the self-confidence is built firstly by having maturity to test what one wants to test, fail and learn from its failures.

Autogenic training of Schultz: relieving by hypnosis

Doctor Schultz: inventor of the technique of the Autogenic Training10 years ago, I was hypnotized by a psychomotrician. And I finally have just put a name on the method which it used: autogenic training of Schultz. It is a technique where the hypnotist focuses the conscience on certain feelings. That makes it possible to cause certain cerebral circuits buckles some in order to pass in a state second and to be released.

The secret world of the virtuosos of the dredger - 3rd part

States of heart of MysteryThis is the third and last part of our overflight of the book The Game. If you r�t� the preceding articles, follow these bonds: 1st part / 2nd part.

In second half of the book, Style tells at which point the states of heart and the projects launched by the Masters virtuosos of the dredger influential on the remainder of the community, especially with regard to Mystery.

Mystery being an expert in art allures in vain, he remains nevertheless dependent on his capacity of attraction. It is enough that it feels rejected by those which he likes to be destabilized �motionnellement. It is the case when it loses its principal moral support: Patricia. This stripper whom he attends of long time ended up being wearied by pass in the second plan and launches an ultimatum to him. But Mystery cannot disavow its nature and is seen obliged to let it leave. Deprived of this invaluable pivot, it is soon unable to be contained whereas one of its new conquests rejects it. And it ended up sinking in a terrible depression. A stay with the psychiatric hospital will be necessary so that it to go back some.

While Mystery shares its dark thoughts and announces its last contribution in its private forum, the very whole community calls itself in question. It is at this time that one discovers at which point the dredger can reach from the stage of leisure the stage of obsession. The examples are numerous: Dad - a student coach� by Mystery - fails his contests, Adonis - a dredger of San Francisco - is made transfer because it spends his time on the forums of seduction instead of working and Vision - another dredger of the community - entrusts its modem ADSL to the neighbors for two weeks.

However, this torpor does not last and the community begins again soon more beautiful.

There are two fields where the fair play does not apply: the war and seduction

The Range: the secrecies of a Virtuoso of the Dredger is a book on the seduction which I read on the councils of daN and which radically changed my way of conceiving the seduction. I literally swallowed the 450+ pages of the book in original version and I propose to you to summarize the points here most outstanding

If you are terrorized with the idea to approach a woman, that you r�tez all your approaches or are systematically relegated to the row of good friend, then you belonged to the basic nice fellows frustrated (in English: AFC: Average Frustrated Chump). But you reassure, all is not lost for you. Even if you did not develop your capacity of seduction naturally, you can still become a Virtuoso of the English Dredger (: PUA: PickUp Artist) thanks to the councils of those which became it. The author of the book, Neil Strauss, of it is the alive proof. And The Game describes its metamorphosis.

Very favorite: courses of rock'n'roll of Ceroc

the club of dance cerocCeroc is a British network of clubs of dance rock'n'roll. Of all the clubs of dance which I knew, it is this one which will have marked me the most. And the broad success which they have on the other side of the channel is amply deserved.

Their method of training is very effective, not to say brilliant.

Initially, whereas the majority of the clubs teach the steps, the Ceroc club is not focused there above. Which is the foot to advance, left or right? It does not matter, you can dance in the two manners.

Moreover, nobody is bored, the couples turn all the time.

The formula is very modern: one starts with a course beginning, then the intermediate course arrives and during this time, the beginners involve themselves in another room with tutors. And that ends in one hour and half of free dance where everyone is invited.

The master keys are in more very aesthetic. To make you an idea, you can consult this site who sell vid�os courses (a small note:: I do not touch commission! lol) but which has a section of demonstration.
