They say that the most creative people also have the most diverse books in their personal library.
I won’t go as far as to say I’m creative, but I will say I have an eclectic taste, both in books and in my RSS subscriptions. I have a total of 108 feeds (!) and I come across so many great articles daily.
There’s no way I can list all the cool articles that I think you should read, but I do list some of them here.
The happiness secrets of the young and the old: This article by Carmine Coyote recommends having happiness like those in childhood and in retirement. “Only those in between - the people trying to earn a living and get ahead — find themselves locked in competition and struggle. … They’re the ones who often view the future with fear, not anticipation.”
What is hard work really worth?: Another article by Carmine Coyote echoes the same message I gave in an earlier post: do not get caught up in working hard just because you think you’re supposed to.
The Hidden Secret To Perseverance: Ellesse shows us not only the hidden secret to perseverance, but also the hidden secret of Napoleon Hill’s book Think and Grow Rich. Ellesse writes, “The hidden secret is all about executing the 4 steps advocated by Napoleon Hill in a correct sequence on a consistent basis.” Oops, the secret is out!
Today Matters: Sometimes the simplest messages are the most powerful. Chris gives us straightforward reasons why today can be a valuable day. This line sums it up well: “Tomorrow will be the result of what you do today. Therefore, today will always be more important than tomorrow because tomorrow owes it’s existence to today.”
The Organize IT Habits: Always Ask Why And How: Spike has put into practice his advice: “I would fall off the GTD wagon, and by asking ‘why’ and ‘how’ whenever it happened, I’ve slowly evolved my system to the point where having it fall apart is a rarity rather than the norm.”
10 Tips For Pruning Your Next Action List: A common problem with action lists is that they are poorly defined and unwieldy. This article by gtdfrk gives us some good tips on more effective action list. I found that each of the 10 tips were pretty solid ones!
Thoughts on Yahoo, Microsoft, and the Challenges of Change: From time to time I would write on a topic from current news (such as the writer’s strike) because they offer great lessons for personal development. Does this article do that? No, but Bill Taylor gives a new spin on a much-written news story by comparing the two to IBM.
No Girl? How to Express Your Man Crush on Valentine’s Day Instead: Tim Ferris helps the guys show their emotions (in a proper masculine way, of course) for their fellow man.

人们常说最具有创造性的人在他们的个人图书管里也拥有最丰富多彩的书籍。
我并不想说我有多么多么具有创造力，但我认为无论对于书籍还是网络站点，我的选择是比较折衷的。我总共有108个站点项目列表，每天能阅读到很多优秀的文章。我不可能把所有我认为你们该读的比较出色的文章都列出来，但在此我列出了其中一部分。
老老少少的快乐秘诀 ：这篇出自Carmine Coyote的文章告诉人们要像小孩和老人一样快乐。“只有那些年龄处于之间，努力以养家糊口取得成功的人，，被封锁在竞争和奋斗中......他们常常以恐惧而不是期盼面对将来”
怎样努力工作才真正有价值？： 这是 Carmine Coyote写的另一篇文章，和我之前的贴子中所表达的内容有一举同工之处： 不要只是因为人们希望你努力工作而去努力工作。
坚定不移的秘诀： Ellesse向我们展示的不仅仅是坚定不移的秘诀，还有拿破仑 希尔所著的 思考致富 一书中不为人知的秘密。Ellesse写到：“秘密就是所有关于拿破仑 希尔所提倡的以正确的次序，基于扎实的基础执行4个步骤的内容。”啊！秘诀已经公开！
今日问题 ：有时候最简单的消息是最有用的。Chris 告诉了我们为什么今天可以是有价值的日子的最直接理由。有一句诗很好的概括了这个理由：“ 明天是你今天所做的结果。明天的存在归功于今天，所以今天总是比明天更重要！ ”
养成一套系统化的习惯：总是询问原因和方法 :Spike把一些建议付诸于实践：“当我未能做成某事的时候，无论何时都要多问‘为什么’和‘怎么样’。我逐渐发展了理论体系，并指出出错的地方是部分现象，是不符合标准的。”
修改下一行动计划的10个小贴士：行动计划一个共有的问题是说明不详细，不实用。Gtdfrk在文中给了我们一些如何有效制定行动计划的建议。这10条建议中每条都是十分可靠的。
雅虎，微软带来的思考：变化带来的挑战：我经常针对近期新闻写一些话题（比如 作者罢工 ），因为这些事件为个人发展提供有益的教训。这篇文章是为了达到这个目的么？并非如此，但是比尔 泰勒通过将雅虎，微软与IBM作比较，以独特的角度书写虽为很多人已经写过的新闻故事。
没有女孩？如何在情人节表达你的爱意？Tim Ferri帮那些人用男人的方式向他们的同伴表达他们的情感
