Meditate like a monk: meditated for 10 minutes. (total accumulated time: 283 minutes).
I get flash backs of meditating in the zen (meditation hall) in hot, humid weather last year. 3 monsterous mosquitoes land on my neck and forehead, sucking my blood. I’m like, ”Fuck my life” but I dared not to move.
Today’s meditation insight: the time will come, do not grasp for outcome.
Exercise like a War God: Marched to the gym in surprisingly warm weather (What’s wrong with Canada land weather? 2 days ago it was cold as fuck)
Did my bench press, dumb bell rows, and dumb bell press like a boss. Talked to a gym bro in his early 30s who insist on having monkey sex with middle aged women. We spot each other doing bench press.
A cute Asian girl instinctively shiveled her head 15 degrees and stared at me as I came out of the gym. I also shiveled my head, 5 degrees.
She’s cute with good facial aesthetics but I’m awry of her pound of makeup. I hope she doesn’t sweat too much in the gym, or else her eyeliner will drip off her face.
I’ll say Hi to her the next time we meet.
Read a fascinating book: Read 20 pages of The Art of the Start: The Time-Tested, Battle-Hardened Guide for Anyone Starting Anything By Guy Kawasaki. (Progress: 60/120 pages Hard cover page count: 226 pages)
Notes from the book:
• Culture of excution
• Realism is good
• Bootstrap - cash is king
• Hire the best employees
• A startup need the following: Kamikaze - who are willing to work 80 hours per week to achieve success Implementers - who come behind the kamikaze and turn the business into a system/infrastructure Operators who run the system Hire smart people, not ”degree” people
Learn a foreign language: Learned Korean for 1 hour (Total accumulated time starting at Dec 01 2011: 21.45 hours)
Èü8” (pun jew say yo) = Give me money Ûˆ´” (mah she soy yo) = Delicious!
ÛÆ´” (mah dap soy yo) = Not delicious
¬ÕÛˆ´” (sa tongue, mah she soy yo) = Candies are delicious!
˜9 µÈä (tie mok get sum me da) = Thanks for the meal (before the meal. Grammar: meal, thank you)
˜9ÈµÈ (tie moe sum me da) = I enjoyed the food (after meal)
Current obession: typing hangul (Korean alphabet). I went from ”nigga where’s the keys at”
to ”Yeah, I’m typing semi-fast now! We gangster now”.
Thinking back, this is how I learned Korean:
Simple phrases The alphabet The number system Grammar
Back to simple phrases
A combination of grammar and simple phrases / learning new words will get me to the point of speaking Korean fluently.
I’m practicing my conversational Korean hardcore, going to awe the Korean MILF that works at the convenience store.
Word of the day: sprat / noun / A small or inconsequential person or thing. Example: nigga u sprat!!1
Watch something inspiration: Watched 1 episode of Darker than Black: Kuro no Keiyakusha (progress: 16/25). The anime production is really high quality, from the intriguing story line to the jazzy background music to the character animation.
Watched 1 video from Khanacademy.org: Watched 1 video from Khanacademy.org (total video watched: 9 )
Arch of Titus, originally Pentelic marble, early 19th-century restoration is in travertine, c. 81 C.E., Via Sacra, Rome
Arch of Titus, a big column arch made by Titus’s brother to commemorate Titus after his death. From what I gather, Titus invaded jerusalem and stole a bunch of stuff. Good job.
I’m going to stop watching Art history, cause it’s kinda gaylord and pretentious, and switch to biology, cosmology, astronomy, current economics, finance, medicine, history, microeconomics, organic chemistry, statistics, valuation and investing, venture capital, that’s the list.
Shout out to Salman Khan, mah nigga. (founder of Khanacademy.org) [Trivial: I dated a girl in high school with the last name Khan]
Build an online [business] empire (Yeah!):
Last month I spent $190 on various SEO (search engine optimization) services - it sucks be-cause it’s not automated. So I cancel all of it, now I’m subscribed to a cutting edge SEO software for $150 per month, I’m just going to stick with this.
I watched 1 hour of their video, signed up, and added a bunch of pages. Now I can finally just concentrate on building the websites, and let the software do the link building for me (thank god - SEO is tedious)
I’m a digital gangster now.
Daily Conclusion - what Ubermensch thinks:
”Teen stabs bully 12 times in self defense and charges are dropped in FL”
The teen failed to used functional authority over the bully. What if the teen told the bully to knock that shit off, and they got into a fist fight? The end result would have been a bloody nose at best.
Instead, like a boiling kettle, the teen let the bullying continue for months (or years) on end.
The final confrontation resulted in a deadly stabbing attack.
So who’s wrong here - the kid or the bully? Neither. The bully shouldn’t have bullied, and the ”victim” should have used functional authority and nip on the problem before it escalated.

BTW, Obama signed the NDAA Martial Law (which allows indefinite citizen detainment without a trial), and the SOPA / IP act is pending to be approve (in one form or another). SOPA / IP act is basically censoring the Internet, much like the Firewall of China.
Americans watched passively as their freedom slowly erode.
Ubermensch Day #78: Business Thoughts (Saturday)
(2012-01-07 23:55) Meditate like a monk: meditated for 10 minutes. (total accumulated time: 293 minutes). I had my eyes closed, as my mind lapsed into fantasies. I snapped back to reality, opening my eyes; I notice the dents on the wall, and the paint texture. Can I have 10 minutes of perfect concentration? I’ll strive for that.Exercise like a War God: [n/a - rest day, saturday]

I think a combination of typing the hangul (Korean alphabet), typing my ”romanization”
(LOL - if you can call it that) and repeated pronouncing the word over and over again helps.
I need to learn the most common words, phrases and grammar in order to speak Korean flu-ently. I’m getting there!
Word of the day: Cimmerian \ si-MEER-ee-uhn \ , adjective; Very dark; gloomy; deep.
Watch something inspiration: Watched 1 episode of Darker than Black: Kuro no Keiyakusha (progress: 17/25).
Watched 1 video from Khanacademy.org: Watched Scale of Earth and Sun, 10 minutes. To learn how big the earth and sun is .. well, it’s humbling that we’re merely a speck in this big universe.
Can’t wait to see how big the galaxy is.
Make a million dollars on the Internet (Yeah!):
How to quickly and ethically REVERSE ENGINEER a competitor’s website.
Real example ....
I look for websites that are making money. In our example, http://www.juicing-for-health.com because it’s on sitebuildit’s top performing website. (I know this because it’s published on their
website) Okay - cool.
Next, I head over to semrush.com and type in http://www.juicing-for-health.com to look at their background information.
• Alfalfa sprouts monthly search volume: 5,000
• http://www.juicing-for-health.com ranking for the term ”Alfalfa sprouts”: 2nd in Google
• Average adsense cost of advertising ”alfalfa sprouts”: 65 cents per click.
juicing-for-health.com has a page ranking for ”alfalfa sprouts”. So each time a person enters ”alfalfa sprouts” into Google, the page http://www.juicing-for-health.com/alfalfa-sprouts-nutrition.html shows up in 2nd position in the search engine ranking.
The current search volume is 5,000 inqueries per month. So I go to http://www.juicing-for-health.com/alfalfa-sprouts-nutrition.html and observe how the website is making money.
Okay, so the person is making money using Google adsense, and from semrush.com it shows that the ads for ”alfalfa sprouts” cost about 65 cents per click.
So, let’s estimate that every time someone visits http://www.juicing-for-health.com/alfalfa-sprouts-nutrition.h tml and clicks on the ads, the web master gets 30 cents.
Rvery month the page http://www.juicing-for-health.com/alfalfa-sprouts-nutrition.html gets 3000 visits. Then we assume the 1 in every 10 person clicks on the ad.
So the page is making the web master $9 per month on that page alone.
She gets 30 cents for every 10 visitors, divide by 3000 potential visitors, equals 9 bucks. Is it right? Someone correct me.
Now multiple that page by hundreds of pages and how she’s making thousands of dollars.
How to reverse engineer it:
Visit her website, look at her content, how she’s monetizing the website, what keywords she’s ranking for, then simply DUPLICATE her whole website without plagiarising it [building content and links]
When a marketer told me how ALL THE MONEY ON THE INTERNET BEING MADE IS TRANSPARENT, I thought he was full of shit. But now I know he’s telling the truth.
——————–
I got the SEO automated now (paying $150 month for it), finally the SEO part is scalable.
Current popualting the website with 5 pages per day.
Daily Conclusion - what Ubermensch thinks:
Realism is good - you can’t sell ice to eskimos (wait - isn’t that common sense?!)
I have yet to meet a successful person who is a hater. Haters tend to be nobodys, sitting on the sideline, yelling and mad at somebody or something.
I want my business infrastructure to completely virtual - the employees will work from home.
I’ll run multi-million dollar company from my laptop.
I can’t wait to get a Porsche 911. I gangsta now.
