Five Things #65

Every Wednesday I share five things I've liked and think you might like too. Here are this week’s Five Things…

  1. A diver's worst nightmare. How he remained calm is beyond me!
     
  2. Albert Einstein's advice to his son on how to learn.
     
  3. There are some things that you just can't unsee. At least in this case they're pretty funny!
     
  4. If you are learning a foreign language (or want to), this is a great list that will help supercharge your learning. I'm putting as much of it into practice as I can as I continue my quest to learn German!
     
  5. This week's musical recommendation is Islands by The XX. I'd forgotten how good their first album is! 

That's all for this week. If you enjoyed it, subscribe and you'll get the next one delivered to your inbox.

Five Things #33

Every Wednesday I share five things I liked and think you might like too. Here are this week’s Five Things…

  1. Are we characters in a simulation? I've shared an article on this before, but this one uses cartoons to help explain the argument. Which obviously makes it better!
     
  2. ROLI has just announced the Lightpad Block (a cool little musical instrument which I'm looking forward to getting my hands on). They are the company behind the equally cool, but way more expensive, Seaboard. Great to see a company making new instruments rather than just rehashing old ones.
     
  3. The genius that is Seth Godin, strikes again — The confusion about enough
     
  4. And a great post by one of my other favourite thinkers, Derek Sivers — Tilting my mirror (motivation is delicate)
     
  5. Thinking of learning a new language in 2017? This might just help you learn it a little faster! I'll definitely be giving it a try in my efforts to learn German.
