    nonfiction works of satire, commentary, and business

    became a full-time cartoonist in 1995 . Adams's success grew,
    and he became a full-time cartoonist with Dilbert in 800
    newspapers.

    unlikely goals

    Some of my many failures
    My Corporate Career
    Fizzled
    • Travelled California, walked into San Francisco branch of
    Crocker Bank for teller job
    • Sloppiness and incompetency caused failure in the first job
    • Two ways to leave the job, one by getting fired another by
    getting promoted
    • Interviewed with vice president of the bank
    • Inconsistency in working place
    • Never stayed in one job long enough to develop any
    legitimate competence
    • Banking career ended when boss called and informed that
    the order had come down to stop promoting white males
    • Officially failed at banking career & incompetence wasn’t
    the cause.
    • Started new job in “Pacific Bell”
    Continued • The actual work was far from challenging, even for Scott
    Adam
    • Robust workplace-safety program
    • District manager position opened
    • Again the higher authority called Scott Adam and
    explained that the order had come down to stop promoting
    white males.
    • Career at Pacific Bell was officially a failure
    • Decided to revive a long-lost interest and try cartooning
    Deciding Vs Wanting
    • If you want success, figure out the price,
    then pay it
    • Success always has a price, but the reality is
    that the price is negotiable
    • Successful people don’t wish for success
    they pursue it
    • If the right system is picked the price will be
    a lot nearer to what we are willing to pay
    Balancing our needs with needs
    of others

    The There are three Selfish

    Selfishness kinds of people in


    the world
    Stupid
    Burden on others
    Illusion

    Best option is to be selfish


    My Pinkie Goes
    Nuts
    • Dilbert was modest success
    • Pinkie started to spasm when I touched pen
    to paper, making it nearly impossible to
    draw
    • Focal dystonia : Common to people who so
    repetitive tasks with their hands
    • Perception leaves a room for hope
    • First person in the world to beat a focal
    dystonia
    • Returned on 2004
    • Ordered Wacom
    Luck
    • No matter what genes and
    circumstances you have, history tells
    us you still need to work hard to pull
    it off. No matter the luck.
    • If your odds of solving your problem
    are bad, don’t rule out the possibility
    that what is really happening is that
    you are bad at estimating odds.
    Fitness

    Author questions us whether considering all of


    life’s natural barriers to remaining fit, is there
    any system that can work?
    Solution Recommended:
    1. Take willpower out of the equation
    2. Granting myself permission to back out at
    any time
    3. Likewise, I don’t recommend adopting an
    exercise plan just because people who
    have completely different bodies and
    brains seem to enjoy it
    4. And the only way that happens is if
    you make fitness of any kind a daily
    habit. Once exercise becomes habitual,
    you won’t need willpower to keep going.
    5. Don’t be concerned about how much
    or how little you exercised on a given
    day. All that matters in the long run is
    that you made exercise a daily habit.
    6. I find it important to reward myself
    after exercise with a healthy snack that I
    enjoy, some downtime that involves
    reading interesting articles on my phone,
    or a nice cup of coffee.
    7. “Be active every day”
    A Final note on
    Affirmations

    • Affirmations are beneficial or


    harmful to the pursuit of success
    • Whether you are a born optimist, or
    you become one through
    affirmations, prayer, or positive
    thinking, you end up with several
    advantages that make it easier for
    luck to find you.
    • Response on Google with
    keywords
    • Spasmodic dysphonia
    • Broken words and clipped
    syllabes
    • No cure existing in the world
