#QUOTE
If an egg is broken by an outside force, life ends. If broken by an inside force, life begins. Great things always begin from the inside. -Jim Kwik
Change starts from within, therefore you must change yourself and work to become a little bit better every day. Once you change yourself, you may now change the world around you, the opposite never works.
Start from within and move outward. Don't believe me? Start with why.
#READING
TODO apps are meant for Robots
//frantic
The human mind isn't a robot, yet everything we built products for humans in order to act like robots. Any productivity app out there tries to turn you into a machine, cranking out tasks/widgets/you name it.
There are too many rules to follow, yet the human mind is chaos and cannot operate in this mode.

Ethereum 101 & How It Could Top Bitcoin in Cryptocurrency
//alexlieberman
This is a great thread on Ethereum if you want the basics and no bs. It goes through:
The past
The future
The applications
What I love about this thread is how simple Alex makes it to understand and draws comparison to Bitcoin. Bitcoin is simply a currency and Ethereum represents a digital city (foundation, services, and a currency).
This thread is also available in podcast form if you prefer audio.
#IDEA
Chipotle for Cocktails
Chipotle is simple, you choose three (3) things:
Food Style (Burrito, Bowl, Salad, Tacos)
Protein
Toppings
Cocktails are complicated. You either:
Choose your go-to cocktail
Choose something randomly from a menu
This is where Chipotle for Cocktails comes in. Imagine a bar where you go in and it has three (3) choices:
Choose your Spirit
Choose your Sweetener
Choose your Bitters
And you come out with a custom cocktail made just for you.
