What is Bounce?

Bounce Materials

After watching blue zones documentary,
my biggest take away is not what diet you should eat, what habit, what religion,
the biggest predictor whether you live to 100 is where you live, in another word your environment.

"People decide frivolously which city to live in and that's going to decide

• who your friends are

• jobs opportunity

• weather

• food supply

• air quality

• quality of life

It's such an important decision but people spend so little time thinking it through" Naval Ravikant

What's the easiest way to exercise?

Answer: You don't even know you are exercise while you are exercising!

Careful, you might get an orgasm next time you see a stairs.

Base

Main difference between "base" and "bounce material" is control.
You can't control other people to join your exercise, but you can choose to exercise.

You can't control food system, but you can choose what you eat.

You can't control what other people say, but you can choose how to react.

You can't control algorithm on social media, but you can choose what content to watch.

2020 is a tough year for everyone,
I stayed at home and on track to lose all my friends,
I was pushed on the edge of depression cliff,
it is the strong base that act as a rope holding me back,
I built habit with sleep, exercise, I quit social media except Youtube.

Base is your lifeforce

Quotes by Jim Rohn on Seasons

• You cannot change the seasons, that's impossible.
  You can't rearrange the seasons.
  You cannot say, "Well, I'll take five harvest times, no winters, a few springs, and a summer or two."
  You can't rearrange them. The seasons are going to come however they come, and you cannot change that.
  So, you cannot change the seasons, but make this note: you can change yourself.
  Goose can only fly south in the winter. And why does the goose have to fly south in the winter?
  Because he's a goose. He can't fly any other direction.
  But that's not true with human beings. Human beings can go north, south, east, or west.
  Human beings can live one way for 5 years and then tear up that script and live a totally different way the next 5 years.
  Humans can do that. I'm asking you to utilize your power as a human being and change your life to whatever degree you want it changed.
  
  

• Winters don't last forever.
  Yes, the tyranny of the Nazis lasted for about 5 years, but it was soon over.
  Yes, the tyranny of Communism lasted for 75 years, but finally that long winter passed.
  
  

• Take advantage of the spring.
  Just because spring comes, there's no sign you're going to look good in the harvest.
  You must do something with it. You must seize that moment.
  It is true that the dark time doesn't last forever, but here's what you've got to also understand: spring doesn't last forever.
  In space language, we call it a window of opportunity.
  
  

• Learn how to nourish and protect your crops all summer.
  Sure enough, as soon as you planted your garden in the spring, the busy bugs and the noxious weeds are out to take it.
  Every garden will be invaded. Not to think so is naive.
  Learn how to reap in the fall without complaint.
  Take full responsibility for what happens to you.
  It's one of the highest forms of human maturity, accepting full responsibility.
  Learn to reap in the fall without apology.
  Without apology if you've done well, without complaint if you haven't. That's maturity.
  I used to blame the government. I blamed taxes.
  Look what you got left after they take everything.
  I blamed the prices. That's why I had no money.
  
  

• The power of the harvest is unparalleled.
  In due season, you will reap, but here's what you must do: you must plant in the spring, take care of it in the summer, and then you will be able to reap the harvest in the fall.
  And here's what you can get: a lot more than what you planted.
  That's why the harvest is powerful.
  One of the reasons the harvest is so exciting is because you get more than what you planted.
  If you plant some corn, you don't get back just one kernel; it multiplies.
