15 sentences to make you more productive:

(from the book THE ONE THING)

1.

"Extraordinary results are directly determined by how narrow you can make your focus… when you spread yourself out, you end up spread thin."
2.

"The path to more is through less."
3.

"Activity is often unrelated to productivity.
Busyness rarely takes care of business."
4.

"Things don’t matter equally.
Success is found in doing what matters most."
5.

"Multitasking is a lie … It’s an effective way to get less done."
6.

"Success is about doing the right thing.
Not about doing everything right."
7.

"A balanced life is a lie … Extraordinary results require focused attention and time. Time on one thing means time away from another. This makes balance impossible."
8.

"Big thoughts go nowhere without bold action."
9.

"Until my ONE Thing is done — everything else is a distraction."
10.

"Visualizing the process — breaking a big goal down into the steps needed to achieve it — helps engage the strategic thinking you need to plan for and achieve extraordinary results."
11.

"If disproportionate results come from one activity, then you must give that one activity disproportionate time."
12.

"The people who achieve extraordinary results don’t achieve them by working more hours … They achieve them by getting more done in the hours they work."
13.

"Taking complete ownership of your outcomes by holding no one but yourself responsible for them is the most powerful thing you can do to drive your success."
14.

"When you give your ONE Thing your most emphatic ‘Yes!’ and vigorously say ‘No!’ to the rest, extraordinary results become possible."
15.

"High achievement and extraordinary results require big energy. The trick is learning how to get it and keep it."
At last, the core question of the book:
(Probably the most impactful words, at least to me)

"What is the ONE Thing I can do such that by doing it, everything else will be easier or unnecessary?"

Ask the above question every day to yourself.

Funny, before the election I recall lefties muttering the caravan must have been a Trump setup because it made the open borders crowd look so bad. Why would the pro-migrant crowd engineer a crisis that played into Trump's hands? THIS is why. THESE are the "optics" they wanted.


This media manipulation effort was inspired by the success of the "kids in cages" freakout, a 100% Stalinist propaganda drive that required people to forget about Obama putting migrant children in cells. It worked, so now they want pics of Trump "gassing children on the border."

There's a heavy air of Pallywood around the whole thing as well. If the Palestinians can stage huge theatrical performances of victimhood with the willing cooperation of Western media, why shouldn't the migrant caravan organizers expect the same?

It's business as usual for Anarchy, Inc. - the worldwide shredding of national sovereignty to increase the power of transnational organizations and left-wing ideology. Many in the media are true believers. Others just cannot resist the narrative of "change" and "social justice."

The product sold by Anarchy, Inc. is victimhood. It always boils down to the same formula: once the existing order can be painted as oppressors and children as their victims, chaos wins and order loses. Look at the lefties shrieking in unison about "Trump gassing children" today.
First thread of the year because I have time during MCO. As requested, a thread on the gods and spirits of Malay folk religion. Some are indigenous, some are of Indian origin, some have Islamic


Before I begin, it might be worth explaining the Malay conception of the spirit world. At its deepest level, Malay religious belief is animist. All living beings and even certain objects are said to have a soul. Natural phenomena are either controlled by or personified as spirits

Although these beings had to be respected, not all of them were powerful enough to be considered gods. Offerings would be made to the spirits that had greater influence on human life. Spells and incantations would invoke their


Two known examples of such elemental spirits that had god-like status are Raja Angin (king of the wind) and Mambang Tali Arus (spirit of river currents). There were undoubtedly many more which have been lost to time

Contact with ancient India brought the influence of Hinduism and Buddhism to SEA. What we now call Hinduism similarly developed in India out of native animism and the more formal Vedic tradition. This can be seen in the multitude of sacred animals and location-specific Hindu gods
