A blockchain is a
continuously growing list
of records, called blocks,
which are linked and secured
using cryptography. Each
block typically contains
a hash pointer as a link to a
previous block,
a timestamp and transaction
data. By design, a blockchain
is inherently resistant to
modification of the data.”)
58. Slide 1.58
Who is Satoshi Nakamato?
We simply do not know.
Had his/her identity been known, (s)he could be in
danger.
Governments, central banks, CIA, and big banks
are after Satoshi Nakamato.
No one owns the Bitcoin network, which means
there’s no way to regulate it.
Blockchain is the tech genie and it is outside
the lamp. No way to prevent it. It will
dominate the world in the upcoming
decades.

121. I have recently read:
Bold: How to Go Big, Create Wealth, and Impact the World–
Peter H Diamandis
• A radical, how-to guide for using exponential technologies,
moonshot thinking, and crowd-powered tools to create
extraordinary wealth while also positively impacting the lives of
billions.
• Part 1: exponential technologies: 3D printing, artificial
intelligence, robotics, networks and sensors, and synthetic
biology.
• Part 2: Psychology of Bold: Larry Page, Elon Musk, Richard
Branson, Jeff Bezos, Singularity University, XPRIZE, Planetary
Resources, & Human Longevity, Inc.

127. Slide 1.127
• You need to develop your antifragility and preparedness for black swans.
• You need to learn to think differently by learning across disciplines,
applying mental models, and focusing on the long term.
• You need to develop new capabilities for dealing with FONKU — the fear
of not keeping up.
• You need to focus on using your own imagination every day.
• You need to take care of your brain and improve your learning habits.
• You need to forget the career ladder and start creating your own assets.
• You need to become a polymath (renaissance person) who learns and
innovates beyond borders.
• You need to make a commitment to create your own creative
assets and invest in your own creativity.
• You need to develop your inspirational capital by being curious and
passionate.
• You need to develop positive habits, systems, and assets to take control of
your own future.
145. Your most crucial task is: Create
your own creative assets. Start
now!
Use your Seven I or Entrep. project
as an opportunity to create your
own intellectual and creative
assets.
Do not take yourself seriously. Take
your work seriously.
Do not be trapped by your ego –
this will make you mediocre.
You cannot learn and grow if you
try to be clever all the time. It is
much better to be naïve, hungry,
foolish, playful, and curious.

formidable world-class creative and business organism.

171. Which is better – taking $3 million in cash now, or
a single magic penny that will double in value
every day, for 31 days?
Most people will choose the $3m cash

have only about $5,000 in 20 days.
172. The 3 Friends
Let’s meet Larry, Scott and Brad, and assume they share
similar circumstances.
• Larry keeps doing what he has always done.
• Scott makes some small, positive changes daily e.g. reading 10
pages, cutting 125 calories by replacing soda with water, walking an
extra 1,000 steps.
• Brad makes a few poor choices e.g. buying a big TV (to enjoy his
favourite shows), eating more dessert and adding 1 drink per week to
his new bar.
At month 10, there are no perceivable differences.
By month 25, measurable differences can be seen and by
month 31, the differences quickly become stark.
• Scott loses 33.5lbs, gets a promotion and raise, and his
marriage is thriving.
• Larry is exactly in the same space and feeling bitter
about it.
• Brad, on the other hand, puts on 33.5lbs (weighing

175. Spend time every day for your learning and
interests
Share what you learned with friends each
week
Go out of your comfort zone
Develop new skills – stretch yourself
Solve a challenging issue/problem
Take online courses (MOOCs)
176. 20-30 minutes
Write non-stop about 3 pages
This will be your stream of consciousness
No censor – free writing
You delve into deeper and be more focused
177. 2-3 Hours Every Week
It has to be alone: To be receptive
Be involved in creative activities or arts
Have fun, pursue an interest, get inspired
Record your thoughts, ideas, reflections
178. Keep a diary about your learning every day
Record and capture ideas as they emerge
Reflect on your learning and how you change
Create new ideas based on what you have read,
researched, and learned
Reflect and seek deeper meaning
Iterate ideas, projects, and solutions
181. Successful leaders view learning as a lifelong pursuit.
When asked how to get smarter, Warren Buffet held up a pile of
reading material and said, “Read 500 pages like this every week.
That’s how knowledge builds up, like compound interest. All of you
can do it, but I guarantee not many of you will do it.”
