I have narrowed it down to two simple choices.
Influence : The Explanatory Doctrine of Human Behavior
or
Influence : How to Get People to Say Yes to Your Requests

In which the Truth mocks the author and goals are set.
The person I awake and see every day in the mirror isn’t the person I am. He is not the person I had envisioned but he is the truth. A truth that stands mocking me for what I have become. I am sick of him and I have decided to become the person I have imagined for myself.
In order to become the person I wish to be, I need to set some goals as a start. I have chosen four things that would be the catalyst for my change.
1) Enroll in a degree program
2) Reduce my weight to 65kg
3) Get my driver’s license
4) Write, publish and sell my book
Well, I better start working my ass off from today.

I think we ought always to entertain our opinions with some measure of doubt. I shouldn’t wish people dogmatically to believe any philosophy, not even mine.
