"A penny saved is a penny earned."
You don't build wealth by scrimping. You build it by increasing your income. Stop wasting time on silly coupon clipping tasks.

That following your heart is impractical. It's true that one's feelings, especially when untrained or inexperienced, can be wrong. But the solution isn't to disavow feeling. Feelings are at least as much of the substance of you as your thoughts are, and perhaps more representative of your base self given we lack direct control over our feelings.
The solution IMO is to train your heart to be practical by following your heart over and over and over again until your head and heart have little to disagree about.

I agree. Often the heart knows better than the 'cleverness' of your mind. In investments I have many times found that investing in something I believe in, when others often said 'oh that's rubbish', have been the best investments of all! Do not follow the herd or latest fashion - follow your heart and your beliefs.

That one should become an expert in just one field. No, become proficient at multiple. Then combine them, find out how you can create a synergy between them. Disclaimer: I don't have PoW that my method works better than the "expert in one field" method - but I'm working on it

This is the first and second advice in Henrik Karlsson's Advice for a friend who wants to start a blog.
  1. It is what is odd about you that is interesting
  2. Your contradictions are an asset. You’re a lover of classical English architecture and you’re also a dirty little punk—expressing both at the same time is more interesting than sharing just cute pictures of English gardens or just wild trashy stuff.

"True love"
Either in the "you have one person you are destined to be with" form (you don't, there are tons of people you could end up having a wonderful lifelong partnership with)
Or in the form of "romantical love will bowl you over with the force of its passion" (I think David Foster Wallace had an essay about this in Brief Interviews with Hideous Men, but the idea is that many people just want love to come in and make the decision for them in their romantic relationships, but the reality is, it's a choice. You have to choose to be in love with someone, and choosing it over and over is what makes it beautiful).

i disagree whole-heartedly that bitcoin is money;
definitive money does not exist in nature, never has, and never will; instead, there are tokens of ... gratitude, allegiance, trade, etc. the only true money that i recognize it the mono-eye, or the mind's eye, the mind from which all that is created emanates (the all is mind, as per teachings of the Hermetic tradition); a more technical etymology of money is here; note how the origin even includes a name of a goddess;
see, once people start worshipping money, money becomes their god, and they completely forget about respecting (looking again at) the natural order of things;
regarding the OP comment: incomes likewise do not exist in nature; no one can provide an intelligible definition of income;
the words we use are a very ineffective mode of communication; rather, it's an indoctrinated code, similar to the 1's and 0's of a binary code, yet more complicated with symbology and human history; the more effective mode of communication is thru sound, light, other frequencies, and various real-word actions; there is a lot of mind-control out there (or money-control so to speak); the matrix architects have carefully interlaced language-law-money together in one giant code, so it's really hard to decipher; bitcoin, imho, gives a fresh look from the sidelines, but doesn't fully solve the problem of the world-prison; action is required;
P.S. i work really hard, thru this limited code-language medium, to bridge the logical and the abstract modes of thought; it's difficult, because most people are stuck in the purely logical thinking patterns;
