Greetings everyone! This Site Update comes live from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, where I’m enjoying the last days of my vacations.
I had an excellent month. It’s becoming a habit to spend the first month the year somewhere away from home and I’m loving this; It’s an excellent way to start new year full of motivation and living many new experiences.
These good times give me a lot of energy and strength to get back to work. I’m thrilled and excited with all the projects I’ll be carrying on this year. I’m sure 2010 will be totally awesome.
I’ll be working a lot on the Inspiration Palace from now on. So far I have continuously left behind in favor my other projects. But this will change – I have the goal of making this site an A-list blog where I’ll share my views of the world and ideas while directly and genuinely connecting with other people.
What’s Coming Next
Soon I’ll be launching to the world my manifesto. It will be a concise guide defining the way I see the world, what I’m trying to accomplish and how other people can join me. It will be a manifesto about dreams, about ideas and about the mindsets to inevitably achieve success in everything you do in life.
Soon enough you’ll hear more about it. If everyone goes as planned (which usually doesn’t, to be honest) I expect to launch it to the world by the end of February or the beginning of March. It will be free for all.
It won’t be the only thing I’ll be working though. I’ll start to post regularly to this site two high-quality essays and guides per week. As from next week you’ll start getting updates every Monday and Thursday.
To sum to that every Saturday I’ll be sharing with you news about my life, my projects and what to expect in the future. I’ll be sharing my favorite books, blog posts and insights from the week too. Overall, it will be the base for a more open and human interaction between me and you who read.
Finally, I’ll be giving a few twists and changes to most of the articles I’ve already posted. I’ve learned a lot about language learning and made many experiments since I wrote the Language Learning Guide, for example. Same with my Silk Road Travel Plans or GMAT Strategy Guide. I’ll be updating all these gradually and very soon.
What I’ll be Writing About
This month I’ll write about the following topics, among others:
- Three New Habits I Started in 2010.
- Lessons From a Month-long Trip to Brazil.
- Living Alone? Not Me.
- Learning From Ants.
- Optimizing Your Life.
I hope you all enjoy what I write and I welcome your feedback.
