Ser Diferente A única salvação do que é diferente é ser diferente até o fim, com todo o valor, todo o vigor e toda a rija impassibilidade; tomar as atitudes que ninguém toma e usar os meios de que ninguém usa; não ceder a pressões, nem aos afagos, nem às ternuras, nem aos rancores; ser ele; não quebrar as leis eternas, as não-escritas, ante a lei passageira ou os caprichos do momento; no fim de todas as batalhas — batalhas para os outros, não para ele, que as percebe — há-de provocar o respeito e dominar as lembranças; teve a coragem de ser cão entre as ovelhas; nunca baliu; e elas um dia hão-de reconhecer que foi ele o mais forte e as soube em qualquer tempo defender dos ataques dos lobos.

1.It’s clear that the more education you have the more Money you earn, on average.
2.The people that go into Colleges/Universities are already the best before they enter. Through Sat Tests/ GMAT and interviews the Universities pick the best minds.
3.If the people who are picked to enrol in a University didn’t attend probably they would also do well because they are already the best.
4.To spend 3 or 4 year’s together with other smart people who will help each other in the future look’s useful.
In short go to a University to meet people and get the recognition. Don’t expect to improve from where you started. Pick the most difficult to enter where you will find the best minds. Make friends for life.

Want to stay lean? Don’t eat at night
A study involving mice suggests that someone on a high-fat, high-calorie diet can stay lean with sufficient fasting between day's end and breakfast the next morning.
PS Nothing new but difficult to execute. In order to do this I need to eat properly during the day and at night I can eat just soup. Besides eventually getting lean, to eat less at night is very good for my sleep and in the morning breakfast is really nice. If you read the article carefully what the study says is to fast during 16 hours a day and eat whatever you want in a 8 hour period. The title, don’t eat at night is from the LA Times. I think to fast from 8 pm to 8 am is feasible.
Researchers from Stanford and the California Institute of Technology recently asked twenty volunteers to taste and evaluate five wine samples that were labeled according to price: $5, $10, $35, $45, and $90 a bottle. The volunteers were similar to many of us: they were moderate wine drinkers but not experts. And after tasting the wine, they replied as you or I might: they liked the expensive wine best.
But, as you might suspect, the researchers pulled a switcheroo on them. The $90 wine actually appeared twice—once in the $90 bottle and once in the $10 bottle. The same for the $45 wine: it appeared in the $45 bottle, but also in the $5 bottle. But the tasters never noticed; no matter what, they preferred the wine when it was in the more expensive bottle. And this was not simple snobbery at work. Brain scans showed that the higher-priced wines generated more activity in an area of the brain (the medial orbitofrontal cortex) that responds to certain pleasurable experiences. And when the drinkers drank the cheap wines? Their brains actually registered less pleasure from the experience.

PS If this is like that why have a cheap product strategy? I guess only for products that clients treat as commodities and indistinguishable it makes sense to be the cheapest. If you can claim that your product is different you should not ask the cheapest price.
