This post is delayed a little bit because of Adtech and all the partying going on but here it is, i was fortunate enough to get a behind the scenes tour of facebook, the one thing though is that a lot of stuff was off limits so out of respect i didn’t record it, but here is a videos from the tour.
They have the usual perks such as a brand new cafe (which is all taken care of $0) as you saw being built also as many beverages as you like with coolers on all the floors.
The main impression i got though was while Facebook is a chill place to work it seems like a few employees were there for the sole reason of the company to go public so they could cash in their stock options then move on to a new company. Which is a great strategy but it hurts the company in the long run, i can’t say i wouldn’t do the same thing though 
What is your work life like is it as good as facebooks? Leave a comment and tell me!

Well as of midnight tonight there is no more food for me for the next 30hours yup only water, but while i do this to raise money some people have no choice and are forced to live like this everyday. The charity i am doing the 30 hour famine for is World Vision, here are a few stats also here is a video that might encourage you to donate.
World Vision was founded in 1950 by Dr. Bob Pierce World Vision Famine events like the 30 Hour Famine and 40 Hour Famine also help to raise money for impoverished countries. Typically, a group signs up to organize such an event, and then spends the next 30 or 40 hours abstaining from food, technology (are you crazy According to World Vision’s annual report, in 2005, 87% of its funding was spent on programs, 8% on fund raising and 5% on management and general overhead. World Vision has responded to famine in Ethiopia and North Korea, hurricanes in Central America, the tsunami in the Indian Ocean nations, earthquakes in El Salvador, India, Taiwan and Turkey, and war refugees in Kosovo, Chechnya, Sierra Leone, Angola, and East Timo

Written by The Kid on April 10, 2008
Goals the elusive thing most of us never accomplish, or even if we do we never set them very high to actually challenge ourselves.
How do i set my goals very simple i take a 3×5 index card i think about what i want and i normally double it, so if it’s money and i think i want 500k i will take it to 1 million, if it’s a date on the weekend (if i didn’t have a gf ) i would aim for two dates that weekend, same thing goes for health and all aspects of your life.
Set 3 goals at a time, i think nowadays with so many distractions and all the things going on around us we get too distracted and we lose track of things, we need to focus. Study after study shows that people who multi task are inefficient compared to those who focus. Set 3 goals all in different areas of your life, Finance, Health, Relationships and so on, write them down on the index card and look at them every morning, and i mean every morning, it should be the first thing you do before you even brush your teeth or check your email.
Again focus make sure you do it, why everyday you might ask? Well good question because even if you have no clue on how you are going to accomplish that goal your brain will start to work in the background on how you can accomplish it, if you don’t look at your goals everyday you will forget about them and never accomplish them.
Lies are all you need
Your brain while it may be smart isn’t very bright (if that makes sense) if you write down a lie on a piece of paper, i.e. i will have 1 million dollars by Jan 1st 2009, your brain won’t be able to tell the difference between the lie and the truth and eventually your brain will start to believe it, this is why you must read your goals every morning when you wake up.
So whats next?
Once you have accomplished a goal cross it out and reward yourself, people are still animals at the end of the day, reward us and we will do that behaviour again and again, this is why smart people always reward themselves after they accomplish a goal, go for dinner or buy a new toy do something that will make you feel great for accomplishing that goal.
Once you have completed one goal in one area of your life put a new goal up and make sure you challenge yourself don’t just make it easy because you want a reward
You will be thanking me for this tip if you implement it, if not then continue as you were but i doubt you would have read this far if you were really accomplishing what you wanted in life!
