The famous quote from Archimedes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Basic idea:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Determine which city or location is optimal for your personal creativity, self-development, thriving, and strength \u00e2\u20ac\u201d and stay there and leverage your strengths to maximize your impact on the world!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Leverage <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
How can a 5kg weight lift a 100kg weight? The lever! Increase the distance of the lever, and in theory, your strength is infinite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For example, when you climb a hill with a bicycle, shifting into first gear makes it super easy. You move slowly, but with great strength. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Increasing your leverage <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
You can either:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Increase your strength and skills<\/li>
Change where you decide to stand, or what your leverage spot is. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
By moving the fulcrum to the left or right, you change the output of your strength.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Optimally, it is best to both<\/em> increase your skills and<\/em> your leverage spot\/fulcrum. But for greatest effect, it seems knowing where to stand, or what your #1 strength is can be the most effective strategy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Where does your fulcrum lie?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
My theory is that your fulcrum is a metaphor for your strength in life. For example, my fulcrum is blogging. Thus by putting more energy into blogging, I have a greater impact on earth and society. Of course I can do other things, but considering we have limited energy and human metabolism, it seems to waste energy on what I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m sub-par at isn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t worth it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Leverage your strengths, don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t waste your energy (conserve your personal energy wisely), and strive to move the world!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
