The surest way to identify those who won't succeed at weight loss is that they tend to say things like "My goal is to lose ten pounds." Weight targets often work in the short run. But if you need willpower to keep the weight off, you're doomed in the long run. The only way to succeed in the long run is by using a system that bypasses your need for willpower.

Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep.

Am I getting smart with you? How would you know?

I'm primarily just an investor.

If I liked food and disliked exercise as much as a 400 pound guy, I'd be a 400 pound guy.

The Dilbert Principle: People are idiots.

You can change only what people know, not what they do.
