A future he refused to wait for.
Thousands built it with him.
To me, it still starts with one man.
@fasc1nate Michael Jackson did a concert in Seoul in 1996, and a fan climbed the crane up to him. MJ held him tightly to prevent him from falling, all while performing Earth song.
🔥🚨DEVELOPING: McDonald’s announced that they are now offering Free French Fries every Friday until the end of the year.
Just remember, Bill Gates owns the land in Washington state used to grow the potatoes for McDonald’s fries.
Regarding Lycurgus, founder of Sparta.
The pivotal moment in the creation of Sparta came when Lycurgus proposed radical laws that would transform the state into some of the greatest warriors in history.
A member of the assembly was so offended that he struck Lycurgus in the eye. Lycurgus could easily have killed him and everyone knew it.
Instead, he stood there with his eye destroyed and invited that man to his house for dinner, ultimately convincing the man to become one of his greatest supporters.
Once the laws were in place, Lycurgus left for the temple, saying the laws could not change until he returned. Then Lycurgus starved himself to death.
BAMF.
The lesson here is that revenge is for the weak.
Steve Jobs had his best ideas while walking—this Stanford study explains why...
In 2014, a team of Stanford researchers examined how creativity levels were impacted by walking.
They conducted experiments with 176 participants that placed them in different situations:
• Walking on a treadmill facing a wall
• Walking outside
• Sitting inside facing a wall
• Sitting outside
In each situation, the participants were asked to complete a range of tasks that are typically used to measure creative thinking. For example, a test of "divergent thinking" asked the participants to come up with as many uses as possible for a set of objects.
The results were incredible:
Participants were dramatically more creative while walking than sitting.
In fact, one group of participants who took back-to-back tests, first sitting inside and then walking inside on a treadmill, saw a 60% improvement in creative output while walking vs. sitting!
Walking, indoors or outdoors, had a similar robust positive impact on creative thinking.
The authors concluded, "Many people anecdotally claim they do their best thinking when walking. We finally may be taking a step, or two, toward discovering why."
Many of history's greatest thinkers, entrepreneurs, artists, and athletes have believed in the power of walking.
It's a simple, free tool we can all use to dramatically improve our lives. Schedule more walks into your weeks.

"Above all, do not lose your desire to walk. Every day I walk myself into a state of well-being and walk away from every illness. I have walked myself into my best thoughts, and I know of no thought so burdensome that one cannot walk away from it." - Søren Kierkegaard

3. Resistance Training
If cardio is for a longer life, strength training is for a better life.
Muscle mass decreases approximately 3–8% per decade starting as early as age 30.
The rate of decline is even higher after the age of 60 with up to 50% of muscle loss by age 70.
