Empty & Meaningless

The world is meaningless. And thinking about meaninglessness is meaningless.

The potential U is realizing that you’re nobody, because once you realize this, then you can figure out who you are. Then, you can begin figuring out what you care about.

The Jews went to the desert, because you have to be nobody to create somebody. To make a choice who you are.

Don’t make the mistake and say something is empty and meaningless

The Book of Ecclesiastes

The main point of this book is a critique of materialism.
It even goes as far as to say the world is empty and meaningless: COMPLETELY!
Furthermore, here are the main points of King Solomon's poem of life:
a. Drop your loop
b. Be a nobody
c. Decide what you care about
d. Make a contribution
e. keep your word (do what you said you were going to do)
f. enjoy your life
g. Fear God, keep Hashem’s commandments

The Small Game = Personal development
The Big Game = Our contribution

The true freedom is to be nobody, and only when you’re nobody can you reach your true potential.

You're right! But as I'm discovering with my classes, taking on one at a time gives you the capacity to eventually take on them all.

The biggest obsticle is having the dicipline to revisit what you've learned each day.
