At the same time, it is certainly not deep enough.<\/p>\n<p>I receive new letters every day:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Daniel, I would like to write a novel, but I don't know where to start...<\/li>\n<li>Daniel, I'd like to start a business and earn a lot of money - what should I do?<\/li>\n<li>Daniel, where did you learn to blog?<\/li>\n<li>Daniel, how did you learn to communicate with people?<\/li>\n<li>Daniel, can I see you? Share your experience of how you did thing X!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In fact, I get so many of these emails with this want-but-don't-do problem that I'm beginning to wonder - what are the motivators repeating \"You can\" worth if so many people still don't know it?<\/p>\n<h2>I do not believe that this text will solve any problem.<\/h2>\n<p>Because the people to whom this text is addressed are simply not listening.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>They don't listen. <\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>They don't even listen to the advice and ideas they seek.<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>They don't listen.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>They are looking for ideas, tips, practical and theoretical exercises... They are looking for them in trainings, books, seminars, articles, live meetings with their Guru and \"Inspirational People\".<\/p>\n<p>But instead of using the knowledge, they don't use it.<\/p>\n<h2>I'm sorry, I feel cynical.<\/h2>\n<p>People are stupid.<br \/>\nYou are a fool.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Well, I am too, if anything. But that's not what I'm about this time.<\/p>\n<p>I'm just tired of people wanting to make their dreams come true.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">BUT DAMN THEM, THEY DO NOTHING.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Damn it.<\/p>\n<p>Idiots.<\/p>\n<h2>Why do we like boobs so much? And why do we love our mothers' faces?<\/h2>\n<p>Here's an interesting thing. Newborn, human babies that their mothers squeeze out of their inner 3D factory are half-blind for the first month or so.<\/p>\n<p>Babies can't see anything. They hear poorly. They do not smell. Let alone speak English or use Google!<\/p>\n<p>The first things babies see are:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Mum's tits. Warm, pleasant, nourishing. Tits. Mmmm.<\/li>\n<li>Mum's face. Smiling, sad, looking somewhere far away or looking into her eyes. Those eyes, that face... Wow! <a href=\"https:\/\/facesinplaces.blogspot.lt\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">From now on, I will recognise eyes and faces everywhere.<\/a><\/li>\n<li>All sorts of other things, faces, the wonderful world around us.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>What does this have to do with doing and learning?<\/p>\n<h2>Our brain is a big calculator.<\/h2>\n<p>They are worthless because they don't remember anything! Well, at least accurately. So every time they try to re-create an explanation of where you put your keys or why the letter A looks like the letter, well, A.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">You give them a mountain of information - they digest it and explain what you see, hear and feel.<\/p>\n<p>Lithuanian words consisting of all kinds of A, B, C, D, Z and so on become a language rather than a gouging and gagging. \"<strong>Ma-ma-am-am-am-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We start to recognise the letters. And we know where Dad is and where Mum is.<\/p>\n<h2>We do not learn to live by reading about life.<\/h2>\n<p>We learn by living.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>How did you learn to walk?<\/li>\n<li>Self-sufficient and wipe your beautiful butt?<\/li>\n<li>Squatting and jogging to create the perfect butt shape?<\/li>\n<li>Read?<\/li>\n<li>Count?<\/li>\n<li>Chewing solid food, not just mum's pap?<\/li>\n<li>Kissing and kissing?<\/li>\n<li>Shake hands with a friend?<\/li>\n<li>Laughing at a friend's joke?<\/li>\n<li>Haircut?<\/li>\n<li>Inserting the phone charger cable into the hole on the first try?<\/li>\n<li>Inserting your penis... Erm...

Simply by seeing the diagram of such a beam enough times, you memorise what to put where to get the answer to how much it will hold.<\/p>\n<h2>And yes, I have experienced all of this.<\/h2>\n<p>I have been learning Russian every day for 130 days. I've downloaded the Duolingo app on my phone and spend just 5-7 minutes every day learning the language.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">I didn't go to the teacher. I didn't read textbooks. I just clicked buttons and tried to guess which word here means \"I want\": <strong>like\u00a0<\/strong>or <strong>want<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Now I know which word is which. I even recognise the letters! And some of them are so strange!<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Physics formulae - also memorable.<br \/>\nLike the ability to kiss a girl.<\/p>\n<p>I was just living.<\/p>\n<h2>But fools want to learn theory.
