Nice thought!

Please read this and digest it.

Then, before you more to the next post, decide what you are going to do different this week as a result of this knowledge.
Ivan Illich says some interesting things about medicine too, like:
“Modern medicine is a negation of health. It isn’t organized to serve human health, but only itself, as an institution. It makes more people sick than it heals.”
“People would rebel against such an environment if medicine did not explain their biological disorientation as a defect in their health, rather than as a defect in the way of life which is imposed on them or which they impose on themselves.”
“Better health care will depend not on some new therapeutic standard, but on the level of willingness and competence to engage in self-care.”
“As the older causes of disease recede, a new kind of malnutrition is becoming the most rapidly expanding modern epidemic. One third of humanity survives on a level of undernourishment which would have formerly been lethal, while more and more rich people absorb ever greater amounts of poisons and mutagens in their food.”
This last quote, I believe is because the rich are too busy to study the basics of physiology and instead opt to choose “quick-fixes” and whatever they think delivers more bang for the buck, which ironically, prolongs their health issues. “Quick fixes” usually lead to more issues, which means MORE TIME is required to heal. Think about it: What is going to take longer to do: study the basics of physiology OR spend forever sifting through trial and error with woo-woo/bro science?
Whistleblowers
Whistleblowers should be lauded and celebrated, not vilified and persecuted!
But then they are only vilified and persecuted by those who should be prosecuted.
Shouldn’t that tell us something?

How To Get More Of What You Want Out of Life
So you want to be more successful?
To accomplish more with less effort?
Let me share with you some of the most powerful truths I know.
To be maximally effective, do these steps.
Decide what the purpose is of any action in which you engage.
Craft a clean, simple statement of the purpose.
Clearly define the product you want to accomplish.
Work out the actions you need to perform in order to obtain the product.
Identify and secure the prerequisites necessary (and only those absolutely necessary) to obtain the product.
Keeping the purpose in mind, perform the actions, as rapidly and as succinctly as you can, always looking for ways to streamline them, shedding any actions that do not specifically add to the quality, quantity or viability of the product you are producing.
Remove any barriers to increased production.
Add any organisational steps or actions that support improved quality, quantity or viability of the product you are producing.
During the time you have allocated to the task, ignore any distractions.
Do not dilute your efforts into peripheral activities but stay focused on doing that which produces the product.
If you find your motivation waning, rekindle your purpose.
Keep in mind that the more you do this, (given that you are producing a product you feel is beneficial to the recipient) the better you will feel.
