I would imagine your progress would be a result of gained insight, also allowing you to refine your research methods/focus. I'm curious to know what you think. Thanks! Hi Scott,

My next fitness goals are doing a handstand pushup. I've also been eying the one-arm chin-up for awhile, but I need to build my wrist strength considerably before any attempt. -Scott Adam,

I am currently reading "Think and Grow Rich" and it talks about having a plan and envisioning sucess. The book in my opinion is too simplistic but the idea to plan and strategize your success are similar. I really get a lot of value from Cal's blog, StudyHacks. I turned to the StudyHacks blog after doing poorly in one of classes and Cal taught me how to strategize about studying and basically planning a route for success in my courses.

Thanks for doing good work. I'll put it on my wall until I holistically understand it ;). I'm looking forward to the next article. Congrats on the pistol squat. In the future, consider the windmill of breakdancing, parkour which is jumping off ledges and rolling, martial science, triathlon, or something more contained like olympic lifting or gymnastics.

Your recounting of my story is right on. Ben Casnocha and I once considered writing an e-Book titled "The Art of the Finish" (inspired by that guest post I wrote for your blog a couple years back). In the end, however, we scrapped the project because when we started looking at people who accomplished big things in their spare time, the explanation was always the same: they trusted that their work would generate the desired result. Once you have the latter piece, finding the motivation to keep going becomes trivial. Best, Cal Scott,

Great article. Your recounting of my story is right on.
