Yardley as an All-in-one solution

Flowers are naturally a sign of multidisciplinary women. Like Yardley, the lotion, their advertisement suggests a girl who says, "I'm a girl. Sometimes I'm playful. But I'm also an blackbelt in Karate. Sometimes, I'm romantic. I'm this and that. My Yardley lets me whoever I want to be". This concept of "Yes" girl is threatening. Not to the girls who already think in terms of "thinking out of the box", a dangerous term. No, you "don't think outside the box". It's B.S. What you do is you cross jurisdictional boundaries. It's not that you have to reinvent the wheel using mental models of your own liking, but rather the real goal is to reach the status of what Charlie Munger likes to call, "Unidisciplinarity fighter". Like the Renaissance movement, which aimed to create an environment in which masters fight the tendency of humans to naturally flock to information from just one discipline, which create loopholes in your knowlegde. I've already talked about Renaissance and "Universal" man approach. What I would like to comment about that Yardley ad is that girls naturally think when you make them see such an ad, so naturally they flock to expensive chemicals and they expect to live longer and to have sexy-looking bodies just by applying chemicals like Yardley. No offense to that, but no amount of one single solution will ever harness what I would call "force of collective oppression" or Lollapallooza effects. Simply put, when one factor combined with slew of other big, elementary, basic factors when applied in unison, produce the desired output.
For Example, for a lot of people like me, when solids fail to catalyze any metabolic reaction for fat-loss, we add workouts like Kettlebell swings and now, Nutella and eggs milk shake, which I drank today and I didn't had Nutella by morning, which is when I leave to High School, and so I instead opted for a syrup known as "Rooh Afza". Anyways, it added some carbs, and hell a lot of sugar, but okay I had my workout 15 mintues prior to that.
The thing I think is that the lack of challenge in Pakistan, for example there are no positive constraints as to exercise and this and that in Pakistan. People put stakes for exactly the opposite things: School system. Their parents would beat them if they don't study. Negative. Why don't they, instead, put constraints on good things? Like if a kid doesn't eats, which is related to health and I can tell you kids really don't study in bad health (I have experience, yes), you naturally don't say anything when your kid follows your example. You're up at midnight and I don't Fucking care if you're "working" at night, the real challenge is the example you're setting. The kid is not going to see you're working, he's just going to see you're awake and he's going to follow your bad example. The challenges I face are no challenges, thanks to Pakistan. The real challenge will be when I apply for a job on AMAZON as an Immigrant. Whatever the process, figuring it out is the real challenge that most people, including me, encounter. You know now why Charles's Munger Multiple mental models approach and Big Ideas from Big Disciplines work so well!
As a young person and part of generation Z, which is younger than millinials, like 2000-2016 period is generation Z, my first real asset is not a rich house, but this blog. All the creations spring here. Donald Trump wrote first book before he was even broke. That's because Midas Touch needs to be secured on papers. The more you give, the more you earn and that's true of your brain, thougths, beliefs (not all necessarily) and ideas. The main difference between Entrepreneurs/Visionaries and Fully Rational Human Beings (me) is that these so called "entrepreneurs" or "visionaried", they are all fancy terms. They disguise what makes these people so powerful. The fact is these humans have built certain habits and even thinking habits that allow them to outsmart bully people, and by 'bully people', I mean parents, teachers and principals who want their kids to perform but the method they take is fucking punishment. I hope I don't meet my Prmary School bully teachers and principals anymore.
As a matter of fact, these people, these accountants are really boring people, until night when they habe hookers and strippers hanging out on their offices. Haha, I like what Ashlee Vance wrote in his biography of Elon Musk, that in the midst of inflated technology bubble, workers and so called "Entrepreneurs" had more hookers as a replacement for morning coffee. "C'mon baby, it's better than coffee", writes Ashlee Vance. Trust me, I've seen enough irrationality in school system to conclude that the interests of some stakeholders is similar to what a typical "Lennon Brothers" or high-frequency trading scene would look like, right? You get it, if you will, watch the movie The Big Short to know what I'm talking here. I started this article with example of Yardley and I want to say that these Lifestyle businesses are of zero interest to people like Chris Sacca, who famously said in an interview with The Tim Ferriss Show that "venture capitalists generally don't like [investing in] lifestyle businesses". So no offense to beautiful girls, just be careful to not white wash the very world you're so fond of.
