THE TOP 5 HABITS OF SUPER OBSERVERS
Our brains can comprehend an image in just 13 milliseconds, according to MIT researchers last week in Attention, Perception, and Psychophysics. They believe that we’re seeking concepts to make sense, and we do this at lightning speed.
Some people have organized their lives to transform this ability into a gift. I call them “super observers,” or people who've developed specific exercises, reminders, or routines so they can “see more” than the ordinary person. I document them in Snap: Seizing Your Aha! Moments, and below I describe two of them:
Whenever I teach a workshop on observation, whether to writers, attorneys, or cops, I always mention Dr. Joseph Bell, mentor of Arthur Conan Doyle. Bell was a teaching surgeon at the University of Edinburgh during the late 19th century. His "Method” was a disciplined approach to deducing obvious and subtle details about patients from mere observation. Without asking a single question, he could state facts about virtual strangers that matched and even superseded his clerks’ intake notes.

creating rituals within your lives
Rituals create an atmosphere of trust. Rituals build bonds of trust between group members, as they frequently require a public declaration of an inner commitment. Group members know they are all on the same page and don’t need to start from scratch in ascertaining each other’s values and mentality – even if they meet as strangers...to read more click here

the best fatherhood advice (from comedians)
"A kid shouldn't be outside wasting his time with a stick anyway. If he's four, he should be home studying for his kindergarten entrance exams. Have you heard about that shit? The poor little fk. He can barely locate his own dick and he's already being pressured to succeed, for the sake of the parents. Isn't this just a sophisticated form of child abuse?"

9 ways to start a fire without matches
Lens Based Methods
Using a lens to start a fire is an easy matchless method. Any boy who has melted green plastic army men with a magnifying glass will know how to do this. If you have by chance never melted green plastic army men, here’s how to do it.
Traditional Lenses
To create a fire, all you need is some sort of lens in order to focus sunlight on a specific spot. A magnifying glass, eyeglasses, or binocular lenses all work. If you add some water to the lens, you can intensify the beam. Angle the lens towards the sun in order to focus the beam into as small an area as possible. Put your tinder nest under this spot and you’ll soon have yourself a fire.
The only drawback to the lens based method is that it only works when you have sun. So if it’s night time or overcast, you won’t have any luck.
In addition to the typical lens method, there are three odd but effective lens based methods to start a fire as well.
Balloons and Condoms
By filling a balloon or condom with water, you can transform these ordinary objects into fire creating lenses.
Fill the condom or balloon with water and tie off the end. You’ll want to make it as spherical as possible. Don’t make the inflated balloon or condom too big or it will distort the sunlight’s focal point. Squeeze the balloon to find a shape that gives you a sharp circle of light. Try squeezing the condom in the middle to form two smaller lenses.
Condoms and balloons both have a shorter focal length than an ordinary lens. Hold them 1 to 2 inches from your tinder.

20 Aphorisms That I Thought Were Dumb as a Boy But Now Appreciate as a Grown Man
An aphorism is a short, pithy statement that conveys a principle or contains a pearl of wisdom. Part of what makes them so powerful is that they can stand on their own without context; as the philologist Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel put it, “An aphorism ought to be entirely isolated from the surrounding world like a little work of art and complete in itself like a hedgehog.”
Philosopher Nassim Nicholas Talib argues that an aphorism’s ability “to compress powerful ideas in a handful of words” shows bravado. This may be why, he notes, “the Arabic word for an improvised one-liner is “act of manliness.”
