 Going-all in is everything. It keeps us alive, it makes us know ourselves, it makes us know what we want to excel at and yes, it also makes us successful.  Be sure of your success no matter the mistakes     The Latin poet Horace e ncouraged his friend       Massimo Lollio to "dare to be wise" in his "Epistles."     That means "have the courage to know!" Centuries  later, the German philosopher Immanuel Kant adopted the expression as the motto for the Enlightenment movement, saying " Have the courage to think for yourself!" Having courage, daring first and foremost. These tools help us understand our lives and ourselves, and they also help us achieve practical or conceptual goals.  How many times out of pure fear of failing at something do we decide not to even try, or to keep delaying? If we won't succeed, we may think we're not skilled in that area and might avoid it to protect our self-esteem. We always want to feel com...

   What’s the trick? What is behind the success of women and men who have achieved their goal and realised themselves by doing exactly what they came into the world to do? The answer can be as simple as it can seem complicated for each of us, sons of such a frenetic era. Here are some clues. Did you know that author  Steven King  writes at least 2,000 words every day, regardless of what else is going on in his life? “Not a day without a line” was also the motto of  Beethoven  who wrote music every day; Director  Robert Rodriguez  has a habit of writing and directing a short film every month, no matter how busy he is with other projects;  Serena Williams , one of the most successful tennis players of all time, has a habit of training daily and practicing her shots; the American entrepreneur and founder of a multimillion-dollar company,  Sara Blakely , who in 2012 was nominated among the 100 most influential people in the world, and in 201...

  What does it take to be happy?   Sometimes it's scary to go and get what we need to be happy. Sometimes it's really frightening to stop and admit that  we know exactly what we need to be happy.    Today someone, a friend, said this phrase to me: 'I am telling you this because I want you to be happy', talking to me precisely about 'that question' that I keep putting off, the one on which so many emotions come into play, but also  so much happiness if I faced it . Sometimes we need the words of others to be able to see what we don't see ourselves or what we tend to hide.

  Matthew Walker   is a neuroscientist and one of the foremost sleep experts in the world. In his book “ Why we sleep”   he provides essential information for each of us. We live in a society where sleeping is absolutely not taken care of, but rather demonized and experienced as a waste of time. Nothing could be more wrong:  getting little sleep causes health problems for the immune and cardiovascular systems, leads to infections, and even Alzheimer’s . I advise you to read the book or, in the meantime, for ease, to watch this short video that explains the main notions that will change the way you see sleep and also how you live.
