Purpose
If you can choose a purpose, a specific purpose, you have power over your life. You can change minds. You can change actions. You can change perceptions.
However
1. What people want is never just one thing. People want lots of things. It is very hard to choose which one is the most important. It is very hard to focus of one thing at a time.
2. Unless the purpose is very clear and specific, it is very hard to know what to do.
For example, if you want directions and your purpose is to go to "a good restaurant," it will be very hard to help you.
If you want directions to my friend John's house in Las Vegas, I can tell you exactly what you need to know.
When reading an assignment for a class, do you wish to be entertained? Do you wish to be prepared for class discussion? Do you wish to complete the homework assignment as quickly as possible? Do you wish to kick ass on the test?
There is different advice for each option.

"Name an object."
vs
"Name a reptile"
For most people, the second one is a much easier question to respond to. Why is that?

Prior Knowledge/ I Swear I did not waste my whole life
I used to think that I read so much to be able to show off. Imagine the world's strongest man competition without the strong men. Basically I'm describing the world's dorkiest dork competition.

I am very mean to ideas...
The way that dogs fight when they meet is the same way that I explain my ideas. I don't want to humiliate anyone, but I want to win. To an outsider, I look very aggressive, but, like a dog, I just want to see which argument is stronger.
If I am beaten, I'll acknowledge it, and I'll thank you for it, but I will never give up my ideas without putting up a fight. I'll never give up on anything without putting up a fight.
In terms of relationships, I've been at the Alamo several times. Suck on that Davy Crockett. Grin.

Maxims
It is harder to believe in probability than it is to believe in a political party
-----------------------------------
.
In a world of 6 billion people, 6000 people have an a million to one coincidence happen every single day.
That makes it hard to believe in randomness.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I've got a bag full of surprises that would make Santa jealous.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm an English teacher and an American person. I have a leather belt that I made with a Leatherman. The first time I talked to a therapist, he said "this is going to be fun."
--------------------------------------------------------
a typical human is not average
not in height
not in weight
not in hair
not in charm
not in anything
average is not typical
average is a black swan
average is a unicorn
average is a hooker with a heart of gold
average is an imaginary friend.
---------------------------
You can either choose to find the beauty in life
or you can expect life
to convince you that it is beautiful
(And before I say what's next,
I need to admit something.
I am dumb.
I am gold medal dumb.
I am Guinness Book of World Records Dumb)
However...
Noone is dumb enough
to argue
that one of those choices
isn't a whole hell of a lot
better than the other.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mankind isn't created
and mankind isn't designed
and mankind hasn't randomly lucked into an evolutionary world
to have things that work forever
Mankind is not made up of those who have never suffered a disaster
or those who gave up
Mankind is made up of survivors.
Mankind is made up of rebuilders
But
Mankind would never have survived without the experimenters.
the kind of men who create disasters,
the lovable fuckups
who aren't afraid of anything
except giving up on their own ideas
even
if those ideas kill them
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
