What is the difference between Catalan and Spanish?
There are plenty of differences. They are different languages, and they are not mutually intelligible. Most Catalan speakers know Spanish, so in practice it's not an issue for them, but Spanish speakers who didn't learn Catalan cannot understand spoken Catalan at all, even though they appear quite similar in writing.Now let there be no mistake: They are both Romance languages, so they have similar grammatical categories, similar general grammar structure, and a very large number of similar words. But the same could be said about the relationship between Spanish and Portuguese.Some of the most notable differences are:In Spanish most adjectives and nouns end in a vowel, most often -o, -a or -e. The corresponding words in Catalan frequently "omit" the -o. So, "cat" is gato in Spanish and gat in Catalan. This is also noted in the plural: "cats" is gatos in Spanish and gats in Catalan.A closely related difference is that the common endings of the participle are -ado and -ido in Spanish and the corresponding endings in Catalan are -at and -it, so "busy" is ocupado in Spanish and ocupat in Catalan (plural: ocupados, ocupats).In Spanish a large number of words end in -on, -an or -in. In Catalan the corresponding words frequently end in -ó, -à or -í. So, "formation" is formación in Spanish and formació in Catalan; the name of the Catalan language is catalán in Spanish and català in Catalan; the Spanish version of the name Martin is Martín, and the Catalan version is Martí. The n reappears in Catalan when the word is declined, for example in plural, so "formations" is formacions in Catalan (and in Spanish, formaciones).Catalan frequently uses the apostrophe and the hyphen in the spelling. Most notably this is done for pronouns: "to sing it" (the song) is cantarla in Spanish and cantar-la in Catalan. This example may make you think that this is only a superficial difference, but in other pronouns the difference becomes bigger. For example, on empty advertisement signs you'll an invitation to place your advertisement, "announce yourself": in Spanish you'll see anunciate, and in Catalan it's anuncia't. (And I intentionally pick a similar verb; a very large number of other verbs are different to begin with.)A lot of words are different. Some are directly corresponding, such as gato and gat above. Another example is words with the same etymology - "left" is izquierda in Spanish and esquerra in Catalan, and though they are slightly different, both come from the Basque ezker. Some words are completely different - for example, "blue" is blau in Catalan, and it has Germanic origin, and again it is similar to the Italian blu and the French bleu (and English blue!), while in Spanish it's azul, which has an Arabic origin. These are just the most outstanding examples - there are thousands of others.Catalan has a past tense that no other Romance language has: the periphrastic preterite. It is built from the present form of the auxiliary verb anar (to go) and the infinitive form of the verb. So, for example, I sang is vaig cantar, where cantar is "to sing" and vaig is literally "I go", but together it doesn't mean "I am going to sing", but "I sang". It sounds unusual, but it's very common in Catalan. In Spanish it is one word: canté. Catalan has a corresponding form, which is cantí, and which has the same meaning as vaig cantar, but is less common in daily speech.Catalan doesn't have a future subjunctive tense. It is very rare in Spanish as well, but it exists.Catalan has the pronoun en, which means "of that (thing that was mentioned in the previous sentence)". There are similar pronouns in French (en) and Italian (ne), but not in Spanish. For example: Tenim cinc tomàquets. En menjaré dos. - "We have five tomatoes. I'll eat two of them."The Spanish spelling is almost completely consistent and predictable. Catalan has some features that are not so intuitive, though it's easy to read once you learn a few rules. For example, the two letters -ig in the end of the word are pronounced as tch, such as in the word passeig, which means "avenue" - it's pronounced as pass-setch. Another unusual letter is x, which is usually pronounced as the English sh, for example in the word queixar-se, which means "to complain", and which is pronounced as keh-shar-se. Sometimes, however, it is pronounced as the English x, for example in the word índex, which has pretty much the same pronunciation and meaning as the English word "index".These three are pretty superficial, but they are useful for quick identification of the language that you are looking at:Spanish has the letter ñ, and Catalan doesn't - the corresponding sound is written as ny.Spanish only has the acute accent - á, é, í, ó, ú; Catalan also uses the grave accent on the letters è and ò, and it always uses the grave accent on the letter à. (The reason for this is that in Catalan è and ò sound different from é and ó.)In many words Catalan uses the middle dot between two L letters, for example in the word Paral·lel, which means "parallel" (it's also a name of a major street in Barcelona). Spanish never uses this sign.These are the most standout differences. There are many, many, many more - after all, these are different languages. But these really stand out.

How was Linear B deciphered?
The decipherment of Linear B is justly famous as the first time when someone succeeded in deciphering a script without the aid of an (explicitly) bilingual text of some sort. The co-decipherers were the architect and gifted amateur linguist Michael Ventris and John Chadwick, a trained specialist in the ancient Greek language who had also worked as a code-cracker in Bletchley Park during the war.The first observation about Linear B was the number of signs used in the script — somewhere between 80 and 90, with about 20 signs being comparatively rare. Alphabets tend to have between about 20 and 40 signs, rarely a couple fewer (e.g. the younger Futhark) or a couple more (e.g. Avestan). But Linear B had ca. 60 common signs plus about 20 rarer ones, so it was in all likelihood a simple syllabary (i.e. the signs represented not phonemes, but syllables: da, du, di, etc.)I happily accept correction in the matter, but if I am correctly informed then all languages admit syllables of the pattern da, du, di (i.e. Consonant + Vowel), whereas some do not admit syllables of the pattern ad, ud, id, etc. (i.e. vowel + consonant). So, for a simple syllabary one therefore expected signs of the pattern C + V. (Signs of CV plus signs of VC would exceed 90 easily, and no language has just VC syllables.) Other syllabaries of this sort are known (e.g. the classical Cyprian syllabary), as well as the tricks involved to do things such as writing e.g. initial double consonance (e.g. write a dummy vowel after the first consonant) or writing word-final consonants (e.g. omit them if they are predictable).The key observation after that was made by one Alice Kober who deserves much of the credit (and did in fact receive said credit from Ventris and Chadwick) for the eventual decipherment. Miss Kober correctly observed that many sign-groups differed in the final sign only — i.e. the first three signs, say, were identical, but the fourth sign was different. In an inflected language this might represent with nouns a distinction of case or of gender or of number; and the signs involved might often enough have the same consonant, but a different vowel.Next, the meanings of a few words on the tablets were known from context. Many of the tablets are lists of persons. The layout of such tablets is often as follows:a group of signs, a space, a little stick-man, a marka group of signs, a space, a little stick-man, a marka group of signs, a space, a little stick-man, a marka group of signs, a space, a little stick-man, a marka group of signs, a space, a little stick-man, a marktwo signs, a space, a little stick-man, five marks.The two signs in line 6 appear again and again in the final line of such lists; and they evidently mean “total”. Occasionally, however, instead of a little stick-man, it’s a little woman-sign, and in this case in the final line we find the same first sign as in the man-lists, but a different second sign. Presumably the two different final signs shared the same consonant, but had a different vowel; and this was indicating a switch in gender.Ventris’ great contribution was to compile an exhaustive “grid” of all such cases.The final observation involved the publication of the tablets from Pylos on the mainland. The texts from Knosos in Crete, long since published, contained a few sign-groups which upon inspection never appeared on the Pylos tablets. Ventris guessed that these were toponyms unique to Crete, and he decided to experiment with some syllabic values taken from the toponymy of Crete. For one very common such sign group he tried ko-no-so (Knosos — sic!). For another three-sign group he tried pa-i-to (Phaistos). For a four-sign group he tried a-mi-ni-so (Amnisos). He then started plugging these values into the grid. The masculine word for “total” came out then as to-so. This was suspiciously like Greek τόσοι, /tosoi/. Well, then, try to-sa for the feminine word for “total” (i.e. Greek τόσαι, /tosai/). He then plugged the hypothetical sa into the appropriate points of the grid, and the process continued like one gigantic crossword puzzle. Things kept coming out suspiciously close to Greek. Ventris finally arrived at a three-sign group which tended to stand next to a little drawing of what was self-evidently a tripod. If, however, there were two or more marks after the little drawing of a tripod, a fourth sign was added to the group of signs in front of the drawing. Thus:signs A B C, space, drawing of tripod, one markor:signs A B C D, space, drawing of tripod, two or more marksThe values which Ventris plugged in as he worked through his grid were these:ti-ri-po and ti-ri-po-de. These again looked suspiciously like the Greek words for a tripod, namely (sing.) τρίπους, /tripous/ and (pl.) τρίποδες, /tripodes/. Again and again, things kept coming up that looked pretty Greek. It was often a weird form of Greek, but then again these texts were centuries older than any Greek hitherto known, and languages are constantly changing, so you wouldn’t expect things to look exactly like classical Greek. So it wasn’t too surprising when the words for “boys” and “girls” looked like ko-wo and ko-wa (Greek κοῦροι, /kouroi/ and κοῦραι, /kourai/, respectively), esp. since it was known that it had originally been /korwoi/ and /korwai/ in Greek (note the “w”).Around this point Ventris was invited to speak on a programme on the BBC about his work with Linear B, and one John Chadwick happened to have his radio on that day… Chadwick had dabbled with Linear B before, so he was familiar with the script and with the problems involved. Moreover, he was an excellent scholar of Greek. He had also worked, as mentioned above, at Bletchley Park, and, as he later put it, what Ventris was coming up with looked exactly like what he and the other code-crackers would come up with in the initial stages of decrypting a coded message. It was the right combination of things that appeared to be just intelligible and things that were still utterly opaque.Excited, Chadwick got into contact with Ventris, and the two of them worked the rest of it out; in 1953 they published in the Journal of Hellenic Studies.Interestingly, after the deciphrement was published, a brilliant if irascible scholar, Leonard Palmer, demonstrated that there was a way of proving that the language was Greek without even having to decipher it. Some of the tablets with tripods drawn on them distinguished different types of tripod. When this happened, a word was added to the putative word for “tripod”; and on the drawing of the tripod there appeared handles.Well, when four handles appeared, the word was a five sign group (call it A B C D E); and when there were no handles the sign group was F D E. One could plausibly conclude that D E meant “handled” and that A B C meant “four” and that F meant “no”. So far, so good.Also, many lists of personnel looked like this:group of signs, space, stick-man, one markgroup of signs, second group of signs, stick-man, two marksIn every case when there were two groups of signs with a stick-man followed by two marks, the final sign of the second group was the exact same sign. One could plausibly conclude that this sign was an enclitic word for “and”. As it happened, this putative enclitic word for “and” was the exact same sign as the first sign in the group of signs which meant “four”.Linguists out there, answer us this: How many languages are there in which the enclitic word for “and” is the same as the first syllable of the word for “four”?As far as I know, Greek is the only candidate. (Even in Latin the first syllable of “four” is not identical with the enclitic word for “and”. And even if there is another language out there for which the postulate holds true, given that the Linear B texts were found in Greece, why should that other language count as more likely than Greek?)To give an English example (as did Palmer whom I am shamelessly plagiarising here). Let us say we are deciphering an unknown language in an unknown script, and we can establish on the basis of contextual clues that a group of signs (A B C) means deus, and that the same group of signs reversed (i.e. C B A) means canis. For how many languages besides English would that relationship hold true? Even for closely related languages such as German and Dutch it does not hold true, and even if some dialect of North Frisian or Low German has the same relationship, if the script in question turned up in England, should not English count as the more probable candidate? Moreover, calling A B C deus and C B A canis and the language English commits you to the prediction both that A B is a common verb of motion and that C B is another common verb; and I am willing to bet that this will not hold true of that hypothetical other West Germanic language. Just one or two such examples, and you have identified the language. Palmer, to iterate the point, was brilliant.On the whole the decipherment worked as you would solve a gigantic crossword puzzle. As you make a few guesses, as long as you’re guessing correctly, probable answers emerge for other entries in the puzzle. If you’re guessing wrong, you rapidly run into impossible combinations, e.g. a five-letter word for ovis that starts with “ft-”. But when your guesses indicate that the five-letter word for ovis ends with “-ep”, you know that you’re on the right track. And even if you can’t guess the seven-letter word for “chapel” that has a “t” as the fourth letter, you’re not too worried, because nothing rules out the existence of a word with those characteristics. That was how the decipherment looked in the early days, but in the end everything pretty much fell into place with just some odd bits and pieces (e.g. personal names) remaining obscure.I’ve probably made the decipherment appear all too easy; be aware that it was years and years of painstaking work. Only in retrospect can one see that Miss Kober’s observation was a crucial step forwards and so on.

What happens to the founder of a company backed by angel investors if the company fails?
He's taken to a special dungeon where we unmercifully tickle his belly button with a feather...or worse!Seriously, what do you think happens? The company is an incorporated entity in which everyone owns equity, which is now worthless. So the company is dissolved, everyone loses all of their invested money, and everyone goes his or her respective way:The investors, who are not happy, nevertheless chalk it up to the way the game is played.The founder, having just seen his or her dream crash and burn—along with multiple years of blood, sweat and tears—generally goes through the Five Stages of Grief, and eventually (typically after a year or so of recovery) starts again.

During a chess game, how do you identify a mature chess player from a player who will make rookie mistakes?
During a chess game, how do you identify a mature chess player from a player who will make rookie mistakes?You can generally tell even before the opponent starts making mistakes.TOUCH MOVE: If a player touches pieces without moving them, I can tell he doesn’t adhere to the “touch move” rule. That means beginner or at least someone who doesn’t play much serious chess.HELICOPTERING: You’ll often see non-serious players grabbing a piece and moving it to a square and holding onto it while they look around for danger, or after picking it up they just hold it out in the air while thinking where to put it. Totally rookie. First of all your hand obscures the board - making it nearly impossible to see where the other pieces are. Second of all, go back to “touch move”. Once you touch that piece, you have to move it. Third, even if your opponent doesn’t enforce “touch move”, you’ve just telegraphed what your plan/thinking is.ETIQUETTE: This isn’t as good an indication as it should be, because there are a lot of good players who don’t have good “chess manners”. Selecting color means you should hold a different color pawn in each hand (mix them up under the table) and let your opponent choose. Chatter and trash talk are generally giveaways. It’s against the rules to distract or annoy your opponent.MORE ETIQUETTE: Some players like to bang the pieces down and slam the chess clock if they are using one. A move doesn’t become dangerous just because you bang the piece down hard on the board and you don’t move faster just because you bash the clock with your fist. It just proves you’ve never had to shell out $50-$75 for a clock just to watch some other a-hole try to break it. (my best clock cost $150 — and NO I don’t like other players banging on it, even if the clock is very solidly built). Same thing for handling a set roughly. Most sets are sturdy, but if a player is flinging pieces around and banging them down hard, it can be rough on the pieces. A serious player will play between $100 and $500 for a good wood set. If you bang the pieces for intimidation, it’s dead proof you’re an A-hole AND a rookie.TAKING A MOVE BACK: This is not allowed. I only allow it during a lesson because I’m supposed to be teaching and this is how I demonstrate mistakes…right when the mistake is made….showing them the danger and quizzing them about the dangers they SHOULD be seeing.PRINCIPLES OF PLAY: There are fairly universal principles of good play. Only 1 or 2 pawn moves in the opening. Get your pieces into play as quickly as possible. Try to control the center. Don’t bring out your queen too early. Don’t move pieces more than once in the opening without good reason. Don’t go pawn hunting until most of your pieces are developed. Castle early and assure your king is safe from attack. If you see an opponent violating one of these you know he is likely to make a mistake. People don’t just “invent” new openings that ignore principles. Rookies believe they can “wing it” without consequence.ACTUAL MISTAKES: Once you see an opponent making moves you get to gauge how “strong” those moves are. If early punches sting (create problems you have to think about) you know they know how to attack. If, like a bad boxer, the opponent flails his arms and has crappy footwork, you know to emphasize your own focus on basics.ADVANTAGES: Advantages in chess operate a lot like a ratchet wrench. A little bit of advantage makes your next attack a tiny bit more threatening, which adds another advantage, until you start to find one side playing with ease, while the other side dodges bullets. One key strategy is the accumulation of small advantages. Each gain adds to the total until you have overwhelming advantages.CHASING MATERIAL: Material is an important advantage, and it’s the way most chess games are won. However, if a player goes chasing after a stray pawn rather than building up offensive forces, it is an important indicator that they are a rookie. This is like watching little leaguers picking dandelions in the outfield. Cute, but they aren’t paying attention to the game. Same with pawn-snatching.There are other indicators. But even if you know a guy appears to be a rookie, you should not treat them that way. Even a blind hog occasionally finds an acorn. If you play an opponent as if they are actually dangerous, you make your actual best moves. That way you are far less likely to be surprised, because you calculated that move carefully. Setting lame traps for your opponent can backfire if your opponent suddenly finds the right response.Play them seriously, and be humble when you beat them. That way you can beat them again. If you make them feel crappy with trash talk and insults they may move on and your next opponent MIGHT beat you like a drum.

As first time entrepreneurs, what part of the process are people often completely blind to?
The 100 Rules for Being a First-Time EntrepreneurIf you Google “entrepreneur” you get a lot of mindless cliches like “Think Big!” For me, being an “entrepreneur” doesn’t mean starting the next “Faceook”. Or even starting any business at all.It means finding the challenges you have in your life, and determining creative ways to overcome those challenges. However, in this post I focus mostly on the issues that come up when you first start your company. These rules also apply if you are taking an entrepreneurial stance within a much larger company (which all employees should do).Just as good to be an “entreployee” as an “entrepreneur”. Either one will help you survive this world of increased economic uncertainty.For me, I’ve started several businesses.Maybe 17 have failed out of 20. I fail quickly. I fail frequently. Entrepreneurship is a sentence of failures punctuated by brief success.I’m invested in about 28 private companies. I’ve advised probably another 50 private companies. I’m on the board of several private companies and one public company. The companies ranging from $0 in revenues to a billion in revenues.Along the way I’ve compiled a list of rules that have helped me deal with every aspect of being an entrepreneur in business and some in life.Here’s the real rules:A) It’s not fun. I’m not going to explain why it’s not fun. These are rules. Not theories. I don’t need to prove them.But there’s a strong chance you can hate yourself throughout the process of being an entrepreneur. Keep sharp objects and pills away during your worst moments. And you will have them. If you are an entrepreneur and agree with me, please note this in the comments below.B) Try not to hire people. You’ll have to hire people to expand your business. But it’s a good discipline to really question if you need each and every hire.C) Get a customer. This seems obvious. But it’s not. Get a customer before you start your business, if you can.So many people say to me, “I have an idea. Can you introduce me to VCs?”There is a HUGE gap between “idea” and “professional venture capital”.In the middle of that gap is “customer”.D) If you are offering a service, call it a product.Oracle did it. They claimed they had a database. But if you “bought” their database they would send in a team of consultants to help you “install” the database to fit your needs.In other words, for the first several years of their existence, they claimed to have a product but they really were a consulting company. Don’t forget this story. Products are valued higher than services.And almost EVERY major software product company was a service company in the beginning. Don’t forget that.E) It’s OK to fail. Start over. Hopefully before you run out of money. Hopefully before you take in investor money. Or, don’t worry about it. Come up with new ideas. Start over.F) Be profitable. Try to be profitable immediately. This seems obvious but it isn’t. Try not to raise money. That money is expensive.G) When raising money: if it’s not easy then your idea is probably incapable of raising money. If its easy, then take as much as possible. If its TOO easy, then sell your company (unless you are Twitter, etc).(if its too easy, sell your company)H) The same goes for selling your company. If it’s not easy, then you need to build more. Then sell. To sell your company, start getting in front of your acquirers a year in advance. Send them monthly updates describing your progress. Then, when they need a company like yours, your company is the first one that comes to mind.Don’t be like that guy in the TV show “Silicon Valley”. If someone offers you ten million for a company that has no revenues, then sell it. Not everything is going to be a Facebook. And even the Google guys tried to sell their company for ONE MILLION DOLLARS to Yahoo before they were revenue positive.SELL THE COMPANY.I) Competition is good. It turns you into a killer. It helps you judge progress. It shows that other people value the space you are in. Your competitors are also your potential acquirors.J) Don’t use a PR firm. Except maybe as a secretary. You are the PR for your company. You are your company’s brand. You personally.I’ve never had a good PR company. I’ve had good PR secretaries. But they are cheaper. One time I hired a PR company and they accidentally sent me the contract for Terry Bradshaw. He was paying $10,000 a month. How did they do for him?K) Communicate with everyone. Employees. Customers. Investors. All the time. Every day.Employees want to know what to do. And they want to know you are thinking of their overall career.Customers want to know how to keep their bosses calm.Investors want to be your friend and want to know they can count on you when time’s are tough.L) Do everything for your customers. This is very important.Get them girlfriends or boyfriends. Speak at their charities. Visit their parents for Thanksgiving. Help them find other firms to meet their needs. Even introduce them to your competitors if you think a competitor can help them or if you think you are about to be fired. Always think first, “What’s going to make my customer happy?”Note: EVEN if that means introduce them to a competitor. If you are the SOURCE, then everybody comes back to the source.M) Your customer is not a company. There’s a human there. What will make my human customer happy? Make him laugh. You want your customer to be happy.N) Show up. Go to breakfast/lunch/dinner with customers. Treat.O) History. Know the history of your customers in every way. Company history, personal history, marketing history, investing history, etc.P) Micro-manage software development. Nobody knows your product better than you do. If you aren’t a technical person, learn how to be very specific in your product specification so that your programmers can’t say: “well you didn’t say that!”Q) Hire local. You need to be able to see and talk to your programmers. Don’t outsource to India. I love India. But I won’t hire programmers from there while I’m living in the US.R) Sleep. Don’t buy into the 20 hours a day entrepreneur myth. You need to sleep 8 hours a day to have a focused mind.If you are working 20 hours a day, then that means you have flaws in how you are managing your time. You can argue about this but it’s true.S) Exercise. Same as above. If you are unhealthy, your product will be unhealthy.T) Emotionally Fit. DON’T have dating problems and software development problems at the same time. VCs will smell this all over you.U) Pray. You need to. Be grateful where you are. And pray for success. You deserve it. Pray for the success of your customers. Heck, pray for the success of your competitors. The better they do, it means the market is getting bigger. And if one of them breaks out, they can buy you.V) Buy your employees gifts. Massages. Tickets. Whatever. I always imagined that at the end of each day my young, lesbian employees (for some reason, most employees at my first company were lesbian) would be calling their parents and their mom and dad would ask them: “Hi honey! How was your day today?” And I wanted them to be able to say: “It was the best!” Invite customers to masseuse day. W) Treat your employees like they are your children. They need boundaries. They need to be told “no!” sometimes. And sometimes you need to hit them in the face (ha ha, just kidding). But within boundaries, let them play.X) Don’t be greedy pricing your product. If your product is good and you price it cheap, people will buy. Then you can price upgrades, future products, and future services more expensive. Which goes along with the next rule.Y) Distribution is everything. Branding is everything. Get your name out there, whatever it takes. The best distribution is of course word of mouth, which is why your initial pricing doesn’t matter.Write a blog about your industry and be very honest about all the flaws (even your own) that is currently in your industry.Authenticity is the best branding.Z) Don’t kill yourself. It’s not worth it. Your employees need you.Your children or future children need you. It seems odd to include this in a post about entrepreneurship but we’re also taking about keeping it real.Most books or “rules” for entrepreneurs talk about things like “think big”, “go after your dreams”. But often dreams turn into nightmares. I’ll repeat it again. Don’t kill yourself. Call me if things get too stressful. Or more importantly, make sure you take proper medicationAA) Give employees structure. Let each employee know how his or her path to success can be achieved. All of them will either leave you or replace you eventually. That’s OK. Give them the guidelines how that might happen. Tell them how they can get rich by working for you.BB) Fire employees immediately. If an employee gets “the disease” he needs to be fired. If they ask for more money all the time. If they bad mouth you to other employees. If you even think they are talking behind your back, fire them.The disease has no cure. And it’s very contagious. Show no mercy. Show the employee the door. There are no second chances because the disease is incurable.I don’t say this because I want anyone to be hurt. But if you’ve followed the rules above then you are treating employees well already. NOBODY should spread the disease and badmouth you or your customers.CC) Make friends with your landlord. If you ever have to sell your company, believe it or not, you are going to need his signature (because there’s going to be a new lease owner)DD) Only move offices if you are so packed in that employees are sharing desks and there’s no room for people to walk.EE) Have killer parties. But use your personal money. Not company money. Invite employees, customers, and investors. .FF) If an employee comes to you crying, close the door or take him or her out of the building. Sit with him until it stops. Listen to what he has to say. If someone is crying then there’s been a major communication breakdown somewhere in the company. Listen to what it is and fix it. Don’t get angry at the culprit’s. Just fix the problem.(you don’t want your employees to be sad.)GG) At Christmas, donate money to every customer’s favorite charity. But not for investors or employees.HH) Have lunch with your competitors. Listen and try not to talk. One competitor (Bill Markel from Interactive 8) once told me a story about how the CEO of Toys R Us returned his call. He was telling me this because I never returned Bill’s calls. Ok, Bill, lesson noted.II) Ask advice a lot. Ask your customers advice on how you can be introduced into other parts of their company. Then they will help you. Because of the next rule…JJ) Hire your customers. Or not. But always leave open the possibility. Let it always dangle in the air between you and them. They can get rich with you. Maybe. Possibly. If they play along. So play.KK) On any demo or delivery, do one extra surprise thing that was not expected. Always add bells and whistles that the customer didn’t pay for.This is such an easy way to over deliver I’m surprised people don’t do it 100% of the time. They do it maybe 1% of the time. So this is an easy way to compete and surprise and delight.LL) Understand the demographic changes that are changing the world. Where are marketing dollars flowing and can you be in the middle. What services do aging baby boomers need? Is the world running out of clean water? Are newspapers going to survive? Etc. Etc. Read every day to understand what is going on.LLa) Don’t go to a lot of parties or “meetups” with other entrepreneurs. Work instead while they are partying.MM) But, going along with the above rule, don’t listen to the doom and gloomers that are hogging the TV screen trying to tell you the world is over. They just want you to be scared so they can scoop up all the money.NN) You have no more free time. In your free time you are thinking of new ideas for customers, new ideas for services to offer, new products.OO) You have no more free time, part 2. In your free time, think of ideas for potential customers. Then send them emails: “I have 10 ideas for you. Would really like to show them to you. I think you will be blown away. Here’s five of them right now.”OOa) Depressions, recessions, don’t matter. There’s $15 trillion in the economy. You’re allowed a piece of it:FedEx, Microsoft, HewlettPackard, and many huge companies were started in recessions or depressions. Leave economics to the academics while they leave good business to you.PP) Talk. Tell everyone you ever knew what your company does. Your friends will help you find clients.QQ) Always take someone with you to a meeting. You’re bad at following up. Because you have no free time. So, if you have another employee. Let them follow up. Plus, they will like to spend time with the boss. You’re going to be a mentor.RR) If you are consumer focused: your advertisers are your customers. But always be thinking of new services for your consumers. Each new service has to make their life better. People’s lives are better if: they become healthier, richer, or have more sex. “Health” can be broadly defined.SS) If your customers are advertisers: find sponsorship opportunities for them that drive customers straight into their arms. These are the most lucrative ad deals (see rule above). Ad inventory is a horrible business model. Sponsorships are better. Then you are talking to your customer.TT) No friction. The harder it is for a consumer to sign up, the less consumers you will have. No confirmation emails, sign up forms, etc. The easier the better.TTA) No fiction, part 2. If you are making a website, have as much content as you can on the front page. You don’t want people to have to click to a second or third page if you can avoid it. Stuff that first page with content. You aren’t Google. (And, 10 Unusual Things You Didn’t Know About Google)UU) No friction, part 3. Say “yes” to any opportunity that gets you in a room with a big decision maker. Doesn’t matter if it costs you money.VV) Sell your company two years before you sell it. Get in the offices of the potential buyers of your company and start updating them on your progress every month. Ask their advice on a regular basis in the guise of just an “industry catch-up”WW) If you sell your company for stock, sell the stock as soon as you can. If you are selling your company for stock it means:a. The market is such that lots of companies are being sold for stock.b. AND, companies are using stock to buy other companies because they value their stock less than they value cash.c. WHICH MEANS, that when everyone’s lockup period ends, EVERYONE will be selling stock across the country. So sell yours first.XX) Execution is a dime a dozen. If you have an idea worth pursuing, then just make it. You can build any website for cheap. Hire a programmer and make a demo. Get at least one person to sign up and use your service. If you want to make Facebook pages for plumbers, find one plumber who will give you $10 to make his Facebook page. Just do it.Fail quickly. Good ideas are HARD. It’s execution that is a dime a dozen.YY) Don’t use a PR firm, part II. Set up a blog. Tell your personal stories (see “33 tips to being a better writer” ). Let the customer know you are human, approachable, and have a real vision as to why they need to use you. Become the voice for your industry, the advocate for your products. If you make skin care products, tell your customers every day how they can be even more beautiful than they currently are and have more sex than they are currently getting. Blog your way to PR success. Be honest and bloody.ZZ) Don’t save the world. If your product sounds too good to be true, then you are a liar.ZZa) Your company is always for sale.AAA) Frame the first check. I’m staring at mine right now.BBB) No free time, part 3. Pick a random customer. Find five ideas for them that have nothing to do with your business. Call them and say, “I’ve been thinking about you. Have you tried this?”CCC) No resale deals. Nobody cares about reselling your service. Those are always bad deals.DDD) Your lawyer or accountant is not going to introduce you to any of their other clients. Those meetings are always a waste of time.EEE) Celebrate every success. Your employees need it. They need a massage also. Get a professional masseuse in every Friday afternoon. Nobody leaves a job where there is a masseuse.FFF) Sell your first company. I have to repeat this. Don’t take any chances. You don’t need to be Mark Zuckerberg. Sell your first company as quick as you can. You now have money in the bank and a notch on your belt. Make a billion on your next company.Note Mark Cuban’s story. Before he started Broadcast and rode it to a few billion, he sold his first software company for ten million.GGG) Pay your employees before you pay yourself.HHH) Give equity to get the first customer. If you have no product yet and no money, then give equity to a good partner in exchange for them being a paying customer. Note: don’t blindly give equity. If you develop a product that someone asked for, don’t give them equity. Sell it to them. But if you want to get a big distribution partner whose funds can keep you going forever, then give equity to nail the deal.III) Don’t worry about anyone stealing your ideas. Ideas are worthless anyway. It’s OK to steal something that’s worthless.IIIA) Follow me on twitter.Questions from ReadersQuestion: You say no free time but you also say keep emotionally fit, physically fit, etc. How do I do this if I’m constantly thinking of ideas for old and potential customers?Answer: It’s not easy or everyone would be rich.Question: if I get really stressed about clients paying, how do I get sleep at night?Answer: medicationQuestion: how do I cold-call clients?Answer: email them. Email 40 of them. It’s OK if only 1 answers. Email 40 a day but make sure you have something of value to offer.Question: how can I find cheap programmers or designers?Answer: if you don’t know any and you want to be cheap: use Hire Freelancers & Find Freelance Jobs Online, Elance, or craigslist. But don’t hire them if they are from another country. You need to communicate with them even if it costs more money.Question: should I hire programmers?Answer: first…freelance. Then hire.Question: what if I build my product but I’m not getting customers?Answer: develop a service loosely based on your product and offer that to customers. But I hope you didn’t make a product without talking to customers to begin with?Question: I have the best idea in the world, but for it to work it requires a lot of people to already be using it. Like Twitter.Answer: if you’re not baked into the Silicon Valley ecosystem, then find distribution and offer equity if you have to. Zuckerberg had Harvard. MySpace had the fans of all the local bands they set up with MySpace pages. I (in my own small way) had Stock Market - Business News, Market Data, Stock Analysis - TheStreet when I set up Stockpickr! Your Source for Stock Ideas. I also had 10 paying clients when i did my first successful business fulltime.Question: I just lost my biggest customer and now I have to fire people. I’ve never done this before. How do I do it?Answer: one on meetings. Be Kind. State the facts. Say you have to let people go and that everyone is hurting but you want to keep in touch because they are a great employee. It was an honor to work with them and when business comes back you hope you can convince them come back. Then ask them if they have any questions. Your reputation and the reputation of your company are on the line here. You want to be a good guy. But you want them out of your office within 15 minutes. It’s a termination, not a negotiation. This is one reason why it’s good to start with freelancers.Question: I have a great idea. How do I attract VCs?Answer: build the product. Get a customer. Get money from customer. Get more customers. Build more services in the product. Get VC. Chances are by this point, the VCs are calling you.Question: I want to build a business day trading.Answer: bad ideaQuestion: I want to start a business but don’t know what my passion is:Answer: skip to the post: “How to be the luckiest person alive”. Do the Daily Practice. Within six months your life will be completely different.Question: I want to leave my job but I’m scared.Answer: same as above question. The Daily Practice turns you into a healthy Idea Machine. Plus luck will flow in from every direction.Final rule: Things change. Every day. The title of this post, for instance, says “100 Rules”. But I gave about 70 rules (including the Q&A). Things change midway through. Be ready for it every day. In fact, every day figure out what you can change just slightly to shake things up and improve your product and company.Your business is not your life. When you start a business you also get a cognitive bias that makes you think your business is GREAT.Every day make sure you are not smoking crack. The most important thing is your health so you can be persistent. If you smoke crack you can die.I hope you succeed. Because I really need that smart toilet that sends my doctors text messages after doing urinalysis on my pee every day.Good luck.

How did Judith Meyer learn 8+ languages? What are they? How were they picked up and when? How long did it take for her to signNow
I usually say 8+ because people have varying definitions of what it means to speak a language. Here are all languages I have ever studied for more than a few hours, in chronological order. I have marked the ones that I'm intermediate or higher in with an asterisk. * German (language) - 0 years old - my native language. Obviously fluent in it now, I have created 500+ language lessons for it as the host of GermanPod101 and I sometimes teach students over Skype.* English (language) - 10 years old - learned it as my first foreign language at school in grades 5-13. For the first few years I was really bad at it, but then I got English-speaking penpals, I hung out on political discussion forums online and I started voice-chatting, so that it started to feel like another native language around age 17 or so.* Latin (language) - 12 years old - my second foreign language at school, grades 7-11. Started studying Latin because it was a mandatory choice between either Latin or French and I thought Latin would help me with other languages in the future. After three years, my teachers recommended me as a tutor for weaker students and eventually I started teaching Latin online on Myngle and Edufire. Udemy course to appear soon.* French (language) - 14 years old - my third foreign language at school, grades 9-10. I really struggled with this language and quit after grade 10, but I had online friends who wouldn't let me forget it completely. I visited Montréal for a month immediately after graduating from high school and stayed with a French-speaking family, from where I picked up my passion for the Québécois variant. When I needed a linguistic-oriented university major to go with my study of computational linguistics, and I was too late to inscribe for English Studies, it was easy to decide on French Studies instead and my trusty online friends helped me re-activate my French in time for the initial evaluation exam. I speak French fluently now and I enjoy reading some classic French literature.* Esperanto (language) - 14 years old - the first language I studied outside school. I had read a popular science book about linguistics, which dedicated a few pages to Esperanto and mentioned that it was the most successful of all constructed languages, and designed to be super-simple. I thought to myself "If it's so simple, I should be able to pick it up without effort, as another notch in the belt. If it gets too hard or annoying, I'll just drop it, no regrets". So I signed up for the German Esperanto Youth's free e-mail-based course and got a mentor who was a student at Berlin Technical University. Learning Esperanto was exhilarating, the only language before or after that was intrinsically motivating to study. I finished the course in 5 months, then attended a weekend course for intermediate students in Berlin that my tutor invited me to, and by the end I was comfortable in Esperanto. Read also how Esperanto changed my life: http://www.quora.com/esperanto-best-of/How-Esperanto-changed-my-life* Italian (language) - 16 years old - my fourth foreign language at school, grades 11-13. Started studying this because of the vacuum left by quitting French class. By the end of grade 13, when I chose Italian for my oral baccalaureate exam, I was able to talk fluently about technical matters I had studied before, for example the causes of Venice's frequent flooding problem. Then I didn't use Italian at all for the next 5 years or so and I'm afraid it's not as fluent as it used to be, though I have started to use it a bit more regularly. I still regularly read books in Italian.* Modern Greek (language) - not sure exactly when I started studying it, because a Greek friend kept teaching me a few things here and there and eventually I decided to pursue it more seriously. I learned the basics in self-study and from my friend, then to signNow intermediate level I used the Assimil method Greek course and an online tutor. Right now I'm conversational but not fluent and I have read four non-simplified books in Greek without the help of a dictionary.* Mandarin Chinese (language) - 18 years old - I've always been fascinated by Chinese characters, so when I heard about a federal competition for high schoolers starting to learn Chinese, and I was in my last year of high school, that was all the motivation to start it then. I studied it by myself for half a year, then won the competition (prize: scholarship for 6 weeks language school in Beijing), sat in 1 1/2 semesters of Chinese at my university, then those 6 weeks in China (2004), then some more self-study, which tapered off... in 2009 I decided to get serious about it, studied 2500 characters in that one year, then have been steadily improving since. Last week I had a 2 1/2 hour conversation all in Mandarin about all kinds of topics, but I still search for words occasionally. I have also read almost a dozen books in Chinese by now.Thai - 19 years old - learned maybe 100 words and phrases just for fun. Been re-discovering it recently, but still not sure where I want to go with it.Czech (language) - 22 years old - I got the opportunity to attend a seminar in the Czech Republic, so I studied some Czech, maybe 500 words, even though the seminar itself would be in Esperanto. I haven't done anything about Czech since this trip, so I forgot it all.Swedish (language) - 24 years old - exact same as for CzechLithuanian (language) - 24 years old - exact same as for Czech. I'm happy I learned it, because otherwise I would have missed my flight back. After the seminar, the bus stop to get to the airport had changed and none of the passer-bys were able to speak English or another of my languages.* Kiswahili (Swahili) - 26 years old - I want to study some languages that are truly different from the ones I studied so far, and Swahili sounds really cool. I learned it from the Assimil course. I haven't had a chance to speak it much, but I can read and write it well enough to keep a diary in it for example.* Dutch (language) - 27 years old - As Dutch is so similar to German, low-hanging fruit so to speak, it would be stupid not to pick it. Some language geek friends and I made a challenge to learn Dutch in 6 weeks of self-study. For proper motivation, I signed up to give a 45-minute presentation of the German language, in Dutch, at a language festival in Leeuwen exactly 7 weeks after we started. I managed, though only a Dutch attendee could tell you how many mistakes I made. These days I'm keeping my Dutch active by reading books and listening to the political radio program "Met de oog op morgen".* Spanish (language) - 27 years old - Spanish is similar to Italian. I wanted to study it but found the course too boring, so I jumped straight into reading "A Space Odyssey" in Spanish. Spanish and Italian keep conflicting in my mind though, whenever I want to speak one, I keep thinking of words in the other language, so it requires concentration. Reading Spanish or understanding TV is no problem at all.Arabic (language) - 28 years old - I studied it non-seriously before but always got discouraged quickly. In 2011, I finally managed to bring Arabic up to A2 level, but then I lost interest because the people I was planning to talk Arabic to moved and there's not much to read in Arabic even if my level was better.Finnish (language) - 28 years old - This language never really interested me, but some language geeks made it a challenge to spend 35 hours on Finnish in one month and see how far we'd get. I used Assimil, Teach Yourself and a word frequency list supplemented by sound files from Forvo. At the end, my level was evaluated as A2, but I didn't continue to study Finnish. The challenge thread: http://how-to-learn-any-language...Japanese (language) - 29 years old - I spent 50 hours on it for the August/September 6 Week Challenges in 2012 (those challenges occur 4x a year now). My main goal is to understand the anime series "Hikaru no Go" and Japanese Go (board game) lectures and I don't care about much else for now, so I tried a new method that involved flashcards made from Hikaru no Go episodes (try Subs2Srs, it's awesome). After just 50 hours in this challenge, I was able to understand two thirds of a new Hikaru no Go episode without subtitles, and my Japanese was useless for anything else. I have started to take conversational classes. EDIT: I just posted a description of how I signNowed this level so quickly as a step-by-step guide on my blog: http://temp.learnlangs.com/step-...* Indonesian - 29 years old - My most recent addition. I started to learn Indonesian because the Indonesian embassy in Berlin offered a free beginner's course in April 2013. Then they announced a speaking competition for June 2013 and I challenged myself to participate in it, so that I suddenly had to learn Indonesian quite quickly during the May 6 Week Challenge. You learn more about my method and results here. I'm happy to say that I'm currently almost B2 in Indonesian.I recently collected the most useful Language-Learning Advice I gave on Quora. Also check out my blog about language-learning, which includes personal updates as well as advice on methods etc., at http://www.learnlangs.com , and my Quora board about languages: http://www.quora.com/selected_language_postsIf you're looking for language geeks like the crazy ones who started the challenges with me, http://how-to-learn-any-language... is your best bet.

What is the worst argument in the world?
She can not make her own decisions on who to love.This was part of the argument that Kerala courts made when they were introduced to the Akhila-Hadiya case.In 2011 a 22 year old woman named Akhila from Kerala, India left home to study medicine in a different city. At the college she made friends with numerous Muslim girls and converted to Islam by choice, after agreeing with their beliefs. When she returned home her parents were not happy with her new preference of religion and persuaded her to convert back to Hinduism. Irritated by their lack of acceptance and support, Akhila moved out again went to live in a Muslim hostel. Having no whereabouts for his daughter, Akhila’s father requested the Kerala High Court to locate her. When Akhila was presented in front of the judge and the jury, she explained that she was doing okay. A few months later. Akhila’s father alleged that she was planning on moving to Syria to join ISIS. Even though little to no proof was presented at the trial for Akhila’s connection to ISIS, the court ordered that she be put on surveillance. Akhila was removed from the Muslim hostel and was relocated to a hostel for women. Akhila had stated that she felt lonely and unhappy in the hostel but the court refused to acknowledge her statement. The court believed that by converting to Islam she had showed proof that she is not fit to decide anything about her life. Last December, while living under the reign of the court, Akhila married a man named Shafin Jahan. Outraged by her secret marriage, the court relocated her to another Muslim hostel and barred anyone from visiting her except her parents. Her cell phone was also taken away. The court justified their actions by stating that a woman is in the custody of her parents until she is married. The court annulled Akhila’s marriage and ordered her to relocate to her parents’ house. In her house Akhila is barred from reading the nawaz by her mother and her father controls who goes in and out of the house. Akhila is stuck in her house to this day.The Kerala High Court stated that Akhila is vulnerable and gullible because she is not married, it was not right for her parents to let her move out of the house in the first place and to let her experience freedom, and that an unmarried woman is supposed to stay in the custody of her parents until she is married. They feel that Akhila violated Indian tradition by moving out, studying what she was interested in, and marrying a man that her parents had not approved of.It is ironic how the same court had a few days ago overruled Triple Talaq because they were in favor of women’s rights and yet last year they overruled a woman’s right in favor of male dominance.Akhila with her father.If justice is denied let the law of karma take the ride. Nothing in this world is done without a price.

What's the best way to build an email list in 2019?
Disclaimer: I’m employed at User thus my opinion might be biased.Hi!Have you thought about using a webinar as a way to get more leads? They are all the rage in the last years. Marketers like them a lot because they are easy to prepare, cheap and have a high conversion rate. Internet users like them a lot too - they get all the benefits of a live event (learning more about the topic they are interested in, ask the industry experts questions, meeting more people with similar interests) without having to leave their office or house. No matter in which city or country the webinar is prepared, people from all over the world can attend it.A webinar is an online seminary on a specific topic related to your business or industry that anyone with an Internet connection and a compatible device can watch, no matter where they are.Here are some benefits of hosting a webinar:1. Webinars are a fantastic lead magnet for building your email list.To get access to your online webinar, participants need to login into your website first. Meaning, they have to provide their email address if they want to attend the webinar - and if they are interested in the topic, they will surely do so. What is more, webinars give you high-quality leads - people who are interested in the topic enough to sign up, schedule and attend your webinar are a better fit for your company than people who just download a pdf book or a free trial.2. Webinars help build a relationship with your subscribersThe core part of marketing is getting people to know, and like your brand, enough to support your brand and buy your products - and webinars are a great way to do just that. Hosting a webinar helps to show your knowledge, skills and abilities to thousands of subscribers at once - just like during a real conference.3. Webinars can give you a sales boost.Plenty of companies use free webinars to promote and sell their products because webinars are the only medium that allows to both teach and sell a product at the same time. If you can make a good sales pitch at the end of the webinar, there’s a high chance your webinar attendants will become your customers.You have to be careful here though - most subscribers are okay with a sales pitch at the end of the webinar, especially one that is relevant to webinar topic but definitely not with a webinar that is an hour-long “Buy our product because it’s the best”.4. Webinars show you as an authority in the field.Showing your knowledge in blog posts is one thing, presenting them live to a webinar audience is something entirely different. Just like with any conference or live speaking events, people value that they can see, hear and interact with the person presenting the topic. And if you can engagingly show your knowledge and answer questions from the audience, the participants are much more likely to treat you as an expert in your industry.6. Webinars can be recorded and repurposed.There’s plenty of reasons why someone might have missed out on your webinar broadcast the first time. Why not give those people a chance to watch the webinar later? Or maybe your subscribers would like to view the webinar again at a later date to get as much of it as possible? You can make both of those group happy by recording and releasing your webinars later, on your website. If you gate the recordings as “only for registered members” you can also generate plenty of new leads this way!Of course, if you want to make an really impressive webinar, you need to have several things in mind: pick a topic your audience will find useful, choose a person who is a good speaker and promote it (and also remind people who signed up to your webinar to attend!). But a great webinar is sure to grow your email list in a flash!Cheers!
