Tai Lopez Notes for Chp: 4 “About life” Mentors and Learn by Osmosis

Mentor list:

John Kovac, the big brain explaining the growing universe. David Sinclair, the geneticist who is making age reversal real. Aristotle, philosopher. Alexander the Great, explorer. Einstein, physicist and theorist. Michio Kaku, author and reknown physicist. Plato, philosopher. Bruce Lee, martial arts teacher and actor. Mohammed Ali, boxer. I haven’t refined the list yet but those are the most prominent influences in my life. I’ll read more books on them or see if i can meet them in this life time through consistency and as soon as i establish myself. Maybe ask them to go for dinner or something or meet briefly. That’s the plan anyways.

Picasso, 33% rule: Mentors

No one has all the answers. There will be only a handful who will point in the right direction.

Picasso quote “good artists copy, great artists steal”.

Learning methodology by Osmomsis:

Genes in making predictions on unpredictable environments. As a baby you develop a learning capacity to learning: self learning in the womb.

70% in communication is non-verbal. It’s through tone, gestures and speed.

First bird handles the turbulence. The rest catch the draft in cutting corners. This is what we are trying to do, catch the draft and be carried by the current.

Mentor people:

33% of day = 3/4 hours a day. 16 hours total awake.

33% time spent with lower: esteem helping people.

33% time spent with same: on your level, friends. adversary.

33% time spent with 10-20 yrs ahead: with those with the life you want.

Mentor with clear eyes. No delusions, life divisional, intoxicant or substitution.

You need to feel pushed alittle. Like osteoporosis if you don’t continue to exercise and keep your bones active they will decay.

When working with a mentor: get out of them what ever you can to learn from them.

Bill gates makes grown men cry but made many millionaires also.

“The hard will make it great.” said Tom hanks.

mentors aren’t teachers from college, they are not perfect. You seek them for what the do best. If you seek perfection you will do it to no avail no one is perfect.

Try persistently and consistently. Build on the shoulders of giants. Know when you are defeated and try again maybe from a different approach.

Tai Lopez Notes for Chp: 3 “About life” Humility and building on your’s/people’s ideas.

*Humility: is the state of being humble.

This is the lesson on being humble. To listen closely and do it.

Eg. of humility:

Michael Jordan has inwardly humility; cocky but he listens to everything his coaches has to say.

On outwardly humility; Sam Walton (Wal-Mart) spends more time at his competitor’s store then his own.

There is an outer humility and inner humility. Inner humility is saying that you are not proud and better than anyone else but only inside your mind. Outer humility is trying to show all around you that you are not proud and better than anyone else.

In this world you control which type of humility you want to show depending on your situation, condition and circumstance. Showing complete humility is the best way to go because you don’t claim you are something you are not. Even when you are and you still retain that humility; People will respect that and often times be more on your side defending you.

*You must become an implementer.

The #1 discount retailer Sam Walton (Wal-Mart) wants to learn from people who want to learn from him. He believes you know something more then he does. This mentality of positive thinking and to seek more answers and to also build on those answers makes this man who he is today. A billion dollar icon.

*We want the Robin Hood mentality:

The Robin Hood mentality is that we want that one piece of gold that people have in their brains getting to the level of crawling on the floor to measure isles and labeled insane and sent to jail like Sam Walton for having the humility of thinking “maybe these people know something i don’t”.

The most humble: talk, plead, mentor and read.

Humility is the catalyst for adaptability.

Even if they are wrong try to learn and see what they mean and listen. Meaning, think of a line of thought as a linear direction going straight but at the wrong angle. Even if the answer was not 100% correct meaning the angle is not correctly going at 0 or 360 degrees straight atleast it is going in the general direction rather then not moving at all or worse backwards. The answer or direction can be corrected in the long run and eventually get to its destination your goal.

To be humble, to have humility is to build on top of something smaller instead  of being cocky and saying my idea is better and start from scratch and nothing. “A good artist copies, A great artist steals.” Build on what you have. And don’t worry too much about people say, we all start somewhere it’s where we end up is what matters.

To measure humility we look at these questions:

4 things that make you humble: The Humility factor: How much do you “blank” from a scale of 10 and divide by 4:

1) Reading. 2) Mentors. 3) Copying from competitors. 4) Robin hood it.

Fear memories. You can never forget them, they are deep sea rooted from the amygdala in the brain. Overcome this fear not with cockiness but real humility and you will reap rewards. Its about the outcome not what you say and think before you do it.

Humility is in action not in just words.

Learning from Tai Lopez about life. notes: chap. 2 E.S.S. , Adaptation.

Life is not about being the strongest, or the smartest. The one that can adapt is the one best able to survive.

To be changeable and adaptable is a feature most desirable in this world.

Let us replace the 500 year mentality with E.S.S. (Evolutionary Stability Strategy).

The cow and grass. Cows eat grass. Grass likes to grow fast and vastly. Cows strike a deal with grass encouraging it to grow so cows can eat them forever and ever. The symbiosis relationship creates the E.S.S. that cow saliva with the good bacteria (flora) heals the grass and the grass grows back faster so it can feed the cow.

Newton said: For every action there is an opposite and equal reaction. We want to evolve by creating a balance between the two extremes.

Cut a deal with life. Don’t push the other “side” too hard to the point where it can’t recover. Everything is not black or white.

Exchange deals with experiment failures for direction, wisdom and knowledge.

Strike an E.S.S. with the world and life itself.

Avoid Certainty Bias. Don’t follow word for word what the general are doing. If your fructose intolerant don’t be eating fruits and end up dying. If things change find a new stability.

Don’t be a victim of hard wiring, flow and experiment. Adapt and change. Avoid black and white, good and bad. Even the words good and bad now have better word choices and they are in the shades of grey. Grow your spectrum of shades and colors and be more specific. Start thinking in hues and tints. The more specific you are about things the better you can express yourself.

Notes on: Tai Lopez speeches Chp: 0-1 “On life instructions.” Starts with a direction. What’s in the package?

0: Things to do:

Find a mentor. spend time with the three levels of mentorship: low, same and 20 yrs ahead. aim for health, wealth and love. Be consistent. Be aware of mistakes.

——

1: A random highschool classroom. A genie lets you choose 1 kid you can have *10% of that kids income for his entire life* who do you choose? Why isn’t it you? The intangible is what you should pursue to be worth a damn.

three people in the world: those who think about whats happening, those who make things happen and those who wonder about things that happen.

Do you deserve it. Are you worth a damn? The key is awareness. It’s all about the packaged expertise not just the single talent.

The one thing that is true in life.

Be-Genuine

In this world. In this life. The only rule that can be placed is that:

1: The light is full of puppets. The dark are full of fools.

The only force you can rely on is the genuine sovereignty of self.

Your power, and the goodness of heart is the only thing that can change the world.

You have the ability to see/make the future, your tool and gift is knowledge.

Think and act as one. Work and live as individuals. It all starts from the bottom up not the other way around. Build the basics before you build for luxury. In this all will prosper.
