3 Ideas For Better Habits

The Mindset Shift You Need for Success
Mindset coach, Ian Tuhovsky, on developing a winning attitude. "A loser is someone who, after making a mistake, doesn’t introspect, doesn’t exploit it, feels embarrassed and defensive rather than enriched with a new piece of information, and tries to explain why he made the mistake rather than moving on."

Be a 'Thinker'
Philosopher, Friedrich Nietzsche, on the importance of failure in the pursuit of knowledge and success.
"A thinker sees his own actions as experiments and questions--as attempts to find out something. Success and failure are for him answers above all."
