Download or read book 25 Stories I Would Tell My Younger Self written by Dr Julian Hosp and published by Julian Hosp Coaching Limited. This book was released on 2015-11-28 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What makes someone leave home at the age of 16 to move to another country all by himself? What drives a person to pursue a professional kitesurfing career even though there is no sea where he is from? Why would someone study 6 years of medicine, just to not work as a medical doctor after graduation? How did the same person go from complete bankruptcy to financial independence in just a few years by moving to Asia? Julian, the author of the book, was asked these and many more questions throughout his entire life. Many of the answers did not make any sense at the time when he took the decision but make absolute sense looking backwards The beautiful part of these stories he has around his answers is that anyone can not only relate to them, but moreover draw important conclusions for his or her own life. Julians thought processes are NOT rocket science. At the end, there are no good or bad decisions in life - only decisions that you make or don't make. Sometimes someone (you?) just need a little bit of reassurance that you are on the right track. Need the extra motivation to step out of your comfort zone and have personal growth (maybe you want to move abroad or start a professional sports career, or change jobs?) You are ahead of a big change and need guidance (move abroad, change jobs, personal shifts) Feel stuck at where you are and need help and support to see new ways Are at college or graduated from college and want to know through real life lessons if you are on the right track? Want to have highly productive days and get done twice as much as usual successfully? Want to get well-tested tips on personal finance, learn how to network professionally and have fun doing business. Are doing awesome already, but want to be inspired to have even more personal growth or try something new? ...then this book is for you! Julian's 25 easy-to-relate real-life stories are packed with true value bombs and over 75 life lessons and -hacks ready for you to use. Instead of the quick-tips or cookie-cutter-problem-solution approach these 25 real life stories will give you a practical blueprint. Most people never hear about the background stories of & against the odds or against the mainstream thinking; decisions, and what happened after taking them. So when they face a moment of adversity in their own life, they lack the self-motivation to overcome that obstacle. Julian wanted to make sure, that his Younger Self has a blueprint to be well prepared for such challenges and so he collected the most inspiring stories to give not only to his Younger Self but also share with you. Julian's 25 stories will make you laugh, scream, relate, and dream - but most important: They will inspire you to take those decisions in life, that you know you want and need to make, but have been too scared of so far.

Download or read book Cryptocurrencies Simply Explained By Tenx Co Founder Dr Julian Hosp written by Julian Hosp and published by Julian Hosp Coaching Limited. This book was released on 2017-12-21 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The easiest way into the world of blockchain, cryptocurrency, decentralization, bitcoin, icos, and co: Have you ever asked yourself what a cryptocurrency, a blockchain, or Bitcoin is? How about the word "decentralization?" You might have heard that "these things are coming" and "will take over the world." No matter if you have or haven't, "they" are right-these things are coming. And "these things" will play just as important a role as the internet has for the past 20 years. You know who "won" with the internet? The people who started preparing for it at the beginning, using it personally or for their business before others did. With this new technology called blockchain, a similar window of opportunity has started to open. If you have no clue what a blockchain, a cryptocurrency, or Bitcoin is, don't worry-most of the population doesn't. One of the main challenges for anyone trying to get familiar with these topics is the question of "Where should I start?" This is exactly what prompted me to write this book. In the simplest way possible, I will explain all the aforementioned points so even a 10-year-old could understand them. At the same time, I will reference the details on a technical level to give you both the large scale and the detailed picture. Explaining something to a 10-year-old is in no way a commentary on anyone's intelligence. I'm just following Albert Einstein's advice: "If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough." My ultimate goal is to make people all around the world #CRYPTOFIT. I.E fit for this new wave of decentralization and blockchain. 10 things you will learn in this book that will blow your mind: What does "backed by gold" actually mean? Will cryptocurrencies replace fiat currencies? Can an internet outage destroy cryptocurrencies? Does mining really create cryptocurrencies? (Hint: It doesn't) Is a maximum amount of Bitcoin really good for a currency? How do I get a cryptocurrency account if no one is in charge? Are cryptocurrencies better than fiat currencies? Is blockchain the only solution for decentralization? Which technology will win? (Hint: Not the best one!) Can you lose a coin? (Hint: You can NOT) Enjoy the read - Yours, Dr. Julian Hosp An overview of the areas covered in the book: FROM GOLD TO CRYPTO BLOCKCHAIN AND CRYPTOCURRENCY BASICS PRIVATE KEYS AND PUBLIC ADDRESSES MINING HOW ARE CRYPTOCURRENCIES CREATED? WALLETS BLOCKCHAIN FORKS AND ATTACKS DESTROYING A CRYPTOCURRENCY? PRIVACY, ANONYMITY, AND TRANSPARENCY ALTCOINS AND BITCOIN CRYPTO-INVESTING THE FUTURE OF CRYPTOCURRENCIES BONUS CHAPTER: INITIAL COIN OFFERINGs (ICOs)

Download or read book Racing with Aloha written by Fred Haywood and published by Morgan James Publishing. This book was released on 2021-05-04 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Haywood has a blend of the intellectual, philosopher, athlete, adventurer, quiet warrior, and curious student. This book entertains, informs, and inspires.” —Laird Hamilton No one knows who first put a sail on a surfboard, but everyone would agree that Fred Haywood pioneered the sport of windsurfing. Few know he is also an Olympic contender who swam a record-breaking backstroke alongside his friend Mark Spitz. Before he discovered speed sailing, he surfed with the likes of Gerry Lopez, exploring exotic undiscovered surf spots around the world. Only his friends know how growing up on the island of Maui influenced him to carry his success with humility and generosity, stressing camaraderie over competition and preferring fun over fanfare. Racing with Aloha is a delightful story that will enchant anyone who loves or longs for the timeless mystique of the Hawaiian Islands. Young readers will delight in the story of a youth who swam with sharks—by accident, of course—and who was as surprised as his coach and teammates to find himself featured in Sports Illustrated magazine. Water aficionados will long for the days of surfing undiscovered beaches. And the countless windsurfing enthusiasts who trekked to Maui in the 1980s, following in Fred’s wake, will relish the memories he shares of windsurfing Ho’okipa, the legendary beach still boasting some of the biggest waves in the world. “From being one of the best swimmers on the planet to becoming the fastest man on a windsurfer and so much more, I am honored to know someone as humble and inspiring as Fred Haywood.” —Kai Lenny
