Excerpts of good quotes:
“In the process of our efforts to realize PFE (Purpose For Existing, the meaning of existence), we have received few external restrictions and more The limitations we put on ourselves”
“If a person understands why he exists – and knows his PFE, he can spend his time on things that help achieve his PFE. "What the Green Turtle teaches you is that if you are not on the same page as what you want to do, you will waste a lot of energy waiting for you to do it. You may not have the energy or time to do something you want to do. ”
“There are many people who want you to spend your time and energy on them, such as the emails you receive. If you plan to attend every event, participate in every promotion, and enjoy every unsolicited service, you will have no time to spare. And that's just email. Think about the people who want to communicate through TV, the Internet, restaurants, and travel destinations. , etc. to attract your attention. You will soon find that you are doing what everyone is doing, or what others want you to do. ”
“Advertisers have already. Understand that if your message directly targets people's inner fears and desires, you can stimulate them to take action. As long as you target the right fear or desire, you can prompt them to purchase a specific product or service. ”
< p> "Advertising also conveys a subtler but more powerful message - that you can be satisfied with those products, but if you don't have those products, your life is incomplete."< /p>"Part of the reason why people spend so much time preparing for work instead of just doing what they want to do is that we are exposed to a lot of marketing messages every day. If we are not careful, We will definitely pin our happiness and satisfaction on a certain product or service, and eventually we will get into a financial situation and have to keep doing things to make money, even though those things are not what we really want to do. p>
“Unfortunately, the more we buy, the more bills we have to pay, and the more hours we have to work to pay for everything. The time we spend at work is not what comes from our hearts , so the more time we put into work, the more dissatisfaction we will have because we have less time left to do what we really want to do. ”
“Most people don’t think about things every day. There is no clear concept of death. But as time goes by, people have less and less time to do what they want to do. Everyone knows in their subconscious that death is approaching, so they are afraid. One day in the future, they will never have a chance again. They are afraid of the day when death comes. "
"Those who know their PFE and work hard to achieve it are indeed very lucky. Unexpected surprises will always come when they need them."
