Q: How to get thrust::pair first and second use javacpp From https://github.com/bytedeco/javacpp/wiki/Interface-Thrust-and-CUDA, I write thrust java code. Struct field is public by default, but  I use first() method to get the first field value of thrust::pair, error happen.
error: expression preceding parentheses of apparent call must have (pointer-to-) function type
error: macro "offsetof" passed 3 arguments, but takes just 2
{ sizeof(thrust::pair), offsetof(thrust::pair, first) },
So how to get thrust::pair first and second value ?
@Platform(include="<thrust/pair.h>")
@Namespace("thrust")
public class Thrust {

    static { Loader.load(); }

    @Name("pair<int, double>")
    public static class Pair extends Pointer {
        static { Loader.load(); }
        public Pair(IntPointer key, DoublePointer value){
            allocate(key, value);
        }
        private native void allocate(@ByRef IntPointer k, @ByRef DoublePointer v);
        // will happen error: expression preceding parentheses of apparent call must have (pointer-to-) function type
        public native IntPointer first();
        // will happen error: macro "offsetof" passed 3 arguments, but takes just 2
{ sizeof(thrust::pair<int, double>), offsetof(thrust::pair<int, double>, first) },
        public native Pair first(IntPointer p);
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        IntPointer i = new IntPointer(1);
        i.put(10);
        DoublePointer d = new DoublePointer(1);
        d.put(10.0);
        Pair p = new Pair(i, d);
        System.out.println(p.first());
    }
}

Now as you can see, none of these doctrinal issues is exclusively held by the Church of Christ denomination. Many churches erroneously believe in baptismal regeneration. Many choose not to have musical instruments in their worship service. And unfortunately, many reject the present day ministry of the Holy Spirit. But it is the logic that they use in defending their position on these issues that makes them "unique." Click on the buttons on the left to choose your next topic. It is best to go in the order they are listed.
Please keep in mind, on this site we are dealing with HISTORIC church of Christ doctrine. The Church of Christ denomination is in a phase of change and many Church of Christ congregations are beginning to turn their backs on their legalistic past. But the reality is that most Church of Christ denominations still adhere to their historic roots. We get scores of e-mails everyday from BOTH sides, so we know they BOTH exist. This site is not meant to tear down the Church of Christ denomination, just to point out its errors. Please don't take this site as a personal attack on you or your denomination. We are simply trying to level the playing field for those who don't know how to counter the exclusive claims of the Church of Christ denomination.
One last personal note...please don't confuse our feeble attempts at humor with sarcasm. In our attempts to deal with this serious subject in a less threatening way, we seem to have offended some. When you read terms like "Them's fightin' words," we are not trying to insinuate that southern members of the Church of Christ denomination are illiterate. Like I said, it was a weak attempt at humor, nothing more. Mea culpa!
We love the members of the Church of Christ denomination. We hope that someday, the feelings will be mutual.


The lengths and ends of this look are jagged cut to achieve a casual textured style making it a perfect low-fuss style to frame a heart shaped face. The bangs are layered to frame the eyes and completes the over-all style brilliantly.
Halle Berry loves to experiment with her hairstyles often. Thanks to her heart shaped face and gorgeous bone structure, she can pull off a wide variety of styles with ease, and her latest 'do is no exception. Halle has gone for a layered shag look here with this cut that makes the most of her thick hair texture. The jagged cut ends give her locks lots of movement, while the long layered fringe brings the focus to the eye area. This 'do would look great worn stick straight, but for extra edge, Halle has let her natural wave come through for a voluminous finish.
Halle has a warm complexion and dark brown eyes. While she could pull off lighter caramel and golden brown and blonde tones well, she looks best in darker shades that are close to her natural color and compliment her eyes. Here, she goes for an chocolate brown tone with caramel highlights that warm up her complexion nicely. This rich tone also gives her strands a healthy looking finish and glossy look.
Apply moulding cream to your sides using your fingertips and mess the hair in a circular motion, piecing the ends out as you go and as messy as you like. For a softer hold, use only a small amount of moulding cream.

Teen driving laws are tough on families
by Shauna Fauchon
Bristol, Connecticut, U.S.A. — Many age-related driving rules are a hardship on families and should be dropped or at least modified.
The recent talk of a night curfew; the rule requiring parents to drive with teens for six months after they get their license; and the idea that the age to receive a license should be jacked up to 18 or 21 years old are all imposing
They would not only inconvenience teenagers but also many parents.
What happens to the single parent (or even married for that matter) who works out of the home and has to make special trips all over to pick up three kids? That parent surely would rather have her 16-year-old pick up the younger siblings from school and sports rather than for her to leave work to do it.
And how probable is it that that same busy parent would have extra time to set aside to drive with her teenager during that initial six months? With no road time set aside, the teen cannot become a better driver and the parent is greatly inconvenienced and may even feel that she is denying her teen the privilege of driving.
I know many families like this who depend on teens to chauffeur younger siblings, to shop, and to even pick the parents up from work. Why should laws inconvenience families  aren't they supposed to help families?
The night curfew would limit any freedom a teenager has gained.
What happens on a Friday night when a bunch of teenagers go to a movie or a party that ends late? Are they supposed to call their parents and say, "Mom, can you pick me up, oh, and bring Dad, too, so he can drive my car home since I'm not allowed to drive right now?"
Once again, what about busy single parents how are they going to pick up their teen, watch the other kids, and bring home a second car?
The "curfew" idea isn't well thought out and would add an extra burden to an already busy family.
The suggestion to raise the driving age is ludicrous.
While not all teenagers are mentally mature at 16, neither are many 18-year-olds or even 21-year-olds.
Let's face it, teens mature at different stages and it's not like you can hand
them a maturity test to see if they have the ability to be a safe driver.
I know many troublemakers who are the best drivers in the world and a few straight-A students who just can't drive as well as the others. This is similar to elderly drivers some have tip-top reflexes at 92 and can drive
perfectly while others at 69 can't see over the steering wheel and are all over the road!
Clearly, no generalization can be made when it comes to age.
What about 16-year-old drivers and alcohol?
While nearly all teens have tried alcohol at one time or another, it's not always alcohol but usually driving inexperience that leads to accidents.
Why are 16-year-olds singled out as reckless drivers? Sure, we do get into a lot of bang-ups as a whole, but it's not because we are 16 or because we're all little druggy-punks who have an IV of beer attached to us.
It's because many of us, as new drivers, simply do not have enough experience behind the wheel.
Age doesn't matter  if you're not a careful, experienced driver, you're going to make some mistakes that lead to accidents.
To make the roadways safer for everyone, more than six hours of road time in drivers' education is needed, followed by about a month of parental supervision while driving.
The six hours that is now the standard isn't nearly enough time to gain crucial experience behind the wheel.
In my case, I spent so much time learning turns that I never got out on the highway.
Highway driving instruction would have been an additional class or two and cost extra something my family couldn't afford.
I've had my license for 8 months now and I've never been out on the highway because my parents fear I'll make one of those "new-driver" mistakes that will get me into an accident.
Sometimes I think if only there were more road-time classes, teens would get more of a feel for the car and may have a better chance of avoiding
collisions.
If more teen-related accidents were avoided, there would be no need for burdensome laws such as the "6-month" law, the night curfew, or proposed age changes.

Cravo Carbono foi um grupo musical brasileiro formado em 1996, na cidade de Belém do Pará. A banda encerrou suas atividades em abril de 2008.

Formada por Lázaro Magalhães (voz, letras e percussão), Pio Lobato (guitarra e baixo), Bruno Rabelo (baixo e guitarra) e Vovô (bateria e percussão), o Cravo Carbono mesclava poesia com diversos gêneros musicais. Foi a principal responsável, ainda nos anos 1990, da retomada do gênero paraense guitarrada na cena musical brasileira.

Na trajetória do grupo, houve participações em importantes festivais do Brasil como Rec Beat (Recife), Mercado Cultural (Salvador) e Calango (Cuiabá), além da inclusão em mapeamentos musicais de relevo como o projeto Rumos Itaú Cultural (São Paulo), em 2001, e o documentário Música do Brasil, concebido pelo antropólogo Hermano Vianna.

A canção "Recado para Lúcio Maia", de Pio Lobato - registrada no álbum Peixe Vivo -, também foi incluída na trilha sonora do filme Deus é Brasileiro, de Cacá Diegues.

Em 12 anos de carreira, o Cravo Carbono lançou três álbuns: Mundo Açu (1998), Peixe Vivo (2001) e Córtex (2007). No último álbum, a banda reforçou sua proposta musical vinculada a ritmos locais como brega e carimbó, dando ênfase também em estilos já conhecidos como samba, zouk e rock.

A banda teve ainda a canção "Café BR" (do disco Córtex) incluída em uma coletânea de bandas independentes brasileiras lançada em 2008 pela revista francesa Brazuca.

Após o fim do grupo, o guitarrista Pio Lobato seguiu em carreira solo e na produção do grupo Mestres da Guitarrada. Desde 2015 é produtor musical da cantora paraense Dona Onete. O vocalista Lázaro Magalhães e o guitarrista Bruno Rabelo fundaram o grupo Maquine, que durou de 2010 a 2012. Vovô, o baterista, além de tocar com Pio e Dona Onete, investe atualmente em seu trabalho autoral, Massa Grossa. No final de 2012, Rabelo fundou o grupo Cais Virado, e a partir de outubro de 2018 passou a coordenar o Clube da Guitarrada em Belém do Pará.

S. Korea's Kim Min-hee wins best actress in Berlin film fest 2017
BERLIN, Feb. 19 (Yonhap) — South Korea's Kim Min-hee has won best actress at the 67th Berlin International Film Festival for a film exploring the meaning of love through unconventional relationships.
She took home the Silver Bear for Best Actress on Saturday for "On the Beach at Night Alone," beating tough competition from 17 other films. She became the first Korean to clinch the honor at the Berlinale.
In the film, she plays the role of Young-hee, an actress pondering her relationship with a married movie director while drinking together with friends in a seaside town shortly after returning from a trip to Germany.
Actress Kim Min-hee (L) and director Hong Sang-soo of "On the Beach at Night Alone" pose for a photo during a news conference at the 67th Berlin International Film Festival on Feb. 18, 2017. Kim won the festival's Silver Bear for Best Actress for the film.
"This film will hopefully bring great emotions for those who see it and therefore I'm very proud of it," Kim said during her acceptance speech. "This award that I receive here and this happiness that I feel is all thanks to Hong Sang-soo, my director in this movie. I honor you, and I love you."
This is the renowned director Hong's 19th feature film and third foray to the Berlinale after "Night and Day" (2008) and "Nobody's Daughter Haewon" (2013).
"On the Beach" earned South Korea the first best actress prize in any of the top three European film festivals in 10 years. Jeon Do-yeon won best actress in the Cannes Film Festival in 2007 for director Lee Chang-dong's "Secret Sunshine." In 2010, Hong's "Hahaha" won the Cannes' fringe "Un Certain Regard" category.
The latest film has drawn much media attention for its story possibly based on the director's intimate relationship with Kim in real life and the main characters' conversations strongly advocating the relationship.
Hong, 57, and Kim, 34, have been engulfed in an extramarital relationship since last June. On Thursday, they made their first public appearance since the scandal broke out by attending a news conference for the new film at the Berlin festival. Neither of them have officially confirmed the reports but were spotted displaying some affection at the festival.
Hong filed for divorce from his wife in November.
After gaining fame as a magazine and commercial model, Kim debuted as an actress for the KBS TV drama "School 2″ in 1999. She got her first lead role in the SBS TV series "Age of Innocence" in 2002 and has since appeared in various TV dramas and movies. Dogged by constant criticism of her poor acting performances, Kim was better known for her fashion styles as a former model.
In 2012 and 2013, however, she received great reviews and displayed great potential as an actress for her roles in the psychological thriller film "Helpless" by director Byun Young-joo and "Very Ordinary Couple," a romance film by director Noh Deok. Most recently, Kim walked on the red carpet at the 2016 Cannes Film Festival for her role in "The Handmaiden." She played Lady Hideko, a wealthy heiress who is seduced by a con man in the erotic thriller directed by Park Chan-wook of "Old Boy."
"On the Beach" is set to open in local theaters next month. It also stars Jung Jae-young, Kwon Hae-hyo, Song Seon-mi and Moon Seong-geun.
The 11-day Berlin festival closes Sunday.
True, this is what I think too. Although somewhat different in opinion about the discussion, but mostly I agree with this site. Hope it always updates so I always increase my insight
I always like what in this site post, always provide the information I need. Hope it always updates so I can add my insight from this site. Thank you
Yes I really agree with the article above, it should be like that. Everything is sometimes there is good and bad anyway


Security is a good thing….until it isn't.
Security isn't a good then when it interferes needlessly with productivity. By needlessly I mean to say when you don't get the security you're looking for but instead make it harder for your people to do their job than needs to be.
1. Company "A" hires consultants to perform day-to-day tasks. Company "A" then refuses to give them access to the troubleshooting tools and software downloads they are supposed to be supporting.
2. Company "B" decides that it's employees can't be trusted. (If you can't trust an employee, why are they an employee?) Company "B" then decides to lock down PC workstations so that *NO* software can be installed or removed by said employee. Company "B" instructs their helpdesk to ignore all requests for installation of needed software.
3. Company "C" requires an contractor to be on-call for 24×7 support. Company "C" refuses to grant said contractor remote access to support the equipment he's on-call to support, forcing a 45 minute drive in the event of an emergency. Company "C" then reams the contractor for not being timely in his/her support.
4. (My Favourite) Company "D" gets *VERY* creative with Windows Group Policies on a workstation, rendering said workstation a paperweight. Company "D" neglects to block access to the system BIOS and allows booting from USB only to allow any user to introduce any unlocked/unguarded operating system in the world into their environment by virtue of a thumbdrive.
In my career, I've been said employee/contractor in every one of these instances.
My point is this: If you're going to implement security make sure it's effective security that also allows your employees to do their jobs.
If it's not effective security – IE going to show a security benefit (that benefit being a quantifiable improvement in the security of your data or the stability of your environment) don't bother with it – you do nothing but alienate the people you hire to work for you and make them want to go elsewhere.
Contrary to popular belief, there are still elsewheres to go.

After 'Walking Dead' premiere, the therapy begins at 'Talking Dead' The post-show chat is expanding to 90 minutes and featuring nearly everyone who doesn't play a walker Check out this story on Freep.com: http://on.freep.com/2eFyIuz

Steven Yeun, Ross Marquand, Norman Reedus, Chris Hardwick, Michael Cudlitz, Danai Gurira, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Gale Ann Hurd and Sonequa Martin attend AMC presents "The Walking Dead" at New York Comic Con at The Theater at Madison Square Garden on Oct. 8, 2016, in New York City.(Photo: Jamie McCarthy, Getty Images for AMC)
Immediately after AMC's "The Walking Dead" returns to resolves the traumatizing cliffhanger of last season – it couldn't possibly be Glenn (Troy's Steven Yeun) who is a goner, because the show faked out viewers previously on that front, right? – the group hug starts on the same network at 10 p.m. Sunday with "Talking Dead." Bring a box of tissues in case of excessive weeping.
Host and nerd emperor Chris Hardwick's enthusiasm for scrutinizing every plot point with guest panelists of the mega-successful zombie drama has made "Talking Dead" the horror TV equivalent of "Meet The Press." It's full of insider perspective and spirited enough for undead amateurs. For Sunday's high stakes season premiere – honestly, it shouldn't be Glenn who leaves the cast, even though Glenn does meet his end in similar circumstances in the graphic novel series – the after-talk has been expanded to 90 minutes and will feature a bevy of cast members: Andrew Lincoln, Norman Reedus, Yeun, Lauren Cohan, Danai Gurira, Michael Cudlitz, Sonequa Martin-Green, Chandler Riggs, Josh McDermitt, Christian Serratos, Ross Marquand, and Jeffrey Dean Morgan.

Also stopping by are executive producers Scott Gimple and Robert Kirkman, who are going to have a lot of explaining to do to Detroit fans, not to mention those nationwide, if Glenn doesn't survive the evil Negan's attack. This "Talking Dead" session will be filmed in front of a big live audience at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery, the final resting place of Rudolph Valentino, Peter Lorre and Johnny and Dee Dee Ramone, among other luminaries.
At least the oversized installment will give viewers a chance to go through several stages of grief and size up which direction the story is pivoting this season. Somehow, the whole "Walking Dead" premise of people uniting to preserve humanity meshes nicely with the idea of the conversation hub that "Talking Dead" has become. Let's just hope it's not a wake for Glenn and, honestly, "Walking Dead" writers, leave him alone!

Win some, lose some: curators collect, 1977-2011
James Lomax, the retired Curator of Collections at Temple Newsam House, is to talk about collecting policy and practice at Temple Newsam in a lecture for the Centre for Heritage Research on 14 June.
Throughout James' tenure at Temple Newsam he was responsible for the acquisition of a large number of important historic objects, often with distinct and interesting connections to the House. Each purchase was enabled by specific fund-raising projects, bringing together a wide range of different groups.
James will talk about how he and his fellow curators developed a collecting policy for Temple Newsam, the trials and tribulations of fund-raising for acquisitions, and the objects that he missed out on along the way!
The talk will take place:
On: Tuesday 14 June 2011
At: 6pm (following the Centre for Heritage Research AGM at 5.30pm)
In: Brotherton Room (Special Collections), Brotherton Library
There will be a wine reception afterwards.
The talk is free and open to all, but as space is limited it is necessary to reserve a place by emailing Anna Powell by 6 June.
James Lomax read law at Cambridge but turned to a career in museums after a year at the Study Centre for History of Fine and Decorative Arts. He joined the staff at Temple Newsam as a trainee in 1977 and, apart from a five year spell at Manchester City Art Galleries, remained there until his retirement in March 2011. He has published numerous articles on the decorative arts and curated and co-curated many exhibitions.

It has three molded legs and a round seat. It can be used as extra seating and is easily stackable. We all know it well; the archetypal three-legged stool.
Nearly everyone has had a variation of it in their home at some point in their lives but often its design is taken for granted. Precisely the rethinking of something as simple as a stool was the starting point for Normann Copenhagen's Tap Stool.
Slightly hard foam has been used for the seat, which, like rubber, has a flexible, sealed surface. This makes Tap dirt-resistant, durable and easy to clean. The moulded seat ensures good seating comfort and provides the stool with the same welcoming warmth known from upholstered furniture. The three legs have an integrated transition to the seat. This gives Tap the appearance of a unified whole, even when seen from the side.
Use it as an extra seat or to rest your feet on when tired.
The seat of the stool is made of PUR foam with a closed cell structure for durability and easy maintenance. The stool comes flat-packed. Assembly manual included.

Developing A Bias for Action: What is it and Why is it Important?
When you have a choice, you choose to do something instead of nothing.
If you have to say "yes" your default is "no,"
A lot of former athletes don't work out.
I know one guy, a former high school and collegiate athlete, who fell into this trap. If you talk to him, he'll still tell you about the importance of athletics and staying in shape. He'll also tell you about the kid's team he coaches because of the valuable life skills sports teach.
If you ask him when he works out, he'll say "I'll work on that once the season is over." And never does.
He's never exercised outside of a team, and has no idea what to do. And that feeling of needing a plan — or even needing more time to plan to work out — holds him back. Uncertainty leads to fear.
Contrast that with a former roommate of mine.
He ran cross country in college, but hadn't trained much in the five years since graduating. He had a full time job as an engineer and was teaching himself programming at night in the hopes of a career change (which he's since made).
And he decided to run a marathon.
He knew a little about running, of course, but he'd never run a marathon. When I met him, he had just finished his first marathon and qualified for the Boston Marathon. He was training for it in the middle of a Chicago winter.
I remember getting all layered up to hit the gym and seeing him prepare for a run. I was packing like eight separate layers of clothes, just to take a train! He was wearing two and about to run 20 miles in ice, snow, wind, and subzero weather.
He had a running group that he used for support. They met a bar 10 miles away from our house, so we would layer up, run there, drink with them, and then run back. Still in subzero weather.
What's the difference between these two people?
One guy is constantly in search of the perfect moment. He's busy and doesn't have time now, but once he figures everything out, he'll totally start working out.
The other guy started running.
It didn't matter that he was working a full time (really more than full time) job with a varying schedule, while also trying to switch careers. He decided to run and started running.
Weather for a run?
At this point, it probably sounds like I'm dangerously close to "Just Do It" territory. You might know that I'm not a fan of "Just Do It." I'm still not, and a "bias for action" is different.
A Bias for Action: Definition and Importance
In the "jobs" section of Amazon's website, there's a single page outlining the company's leadership principles.
Among self-explanatory ideas like "Think Big" and "Earn Trust," there's one principle that stands out to me as underrated: "Bias for Action."
The page doesn't give much explanation or definition, saying simply:
"Speed matters in business. Many decisions and actions are reversible and do not need extensive study. We value calculated risk taking."
At the same time, this page is far from the only one that argues in favor of a bias for action. Entrepreneur Ramit Sethi frequently mentions a bias for action in his emails, in his articles, and on his careers page.
Jay Acunzo, a marketer renowned for his somehow-controversial belief that marketing should be about creating things that are truly valuable and interesting instead of blindly checking boxes, has an entire episode of his podcast devoted to a bias for action.
On the whole, "bias for action" is a phrase that gets a lot of attention in the marketing and startup scene. But it's valuable for fitness and personal development too.
A bias for action is this: when you have a choice, you choose action over inaction.
It means that you don't spend much time debating whether your approach is the 100% optimal one. You don't wait until you "finally have enough free time" (we both know that will never actually happen). You act.
As importantly, a bias for action means that taking action is your default state. When most people do things, they have to decide to do them. When you have a bias for action, you automatically do things; not doing things is what takes a decision.
I talk a lot about planning, about preparing to go to the gym, about putting a system in place that helps you work out without needing to force yourself. And I stand by those things as important.
But none of them matter if you never actually work out.
You can plan endlessly. You can tell yourself that you'll start actually working out once it gets warmer outside, or once this big work project is finally over.
But will you really?
A lot of people make these kinds of promises to themselves and never follow through. They aren't actually too busy to work out: they're just scared.
Former athlete guy? That dude was scared of going to the gym. He didn't know what to do, he didn't want to be judged, and he was embarrassed that his formerly athletic body had become so out of shape. So he invented the idea of not having enough time.
And to note: there's no shame in that. Many, many people do that for fitness, and all of us do it for something.
The sub zero marathon runner? That dude realized that there would never be a perfect time, so he made it work.
Why is a "Bias for Action" Different from "Just Do It?"
"Just Do It" ignores and discounts your problems. A bias for action accounts for them.
One of my readers explained the problems with "Just Do It" better than I could ever hope to:
"'Just do it' rubs me up the wrong way because it inherently implies that I'm lazy. Every time I hear someone tell me to "Just Do It" this is what goes through my head:
I work full time, study part time, play 2 D&D games a week and manage to fit in time for my family and my partner's family as well as at least 1 gym session a week and meal prep for 2 people. Some weeks I even have some time for myself to read for fun!
But some days I am exhausted from my life and go get something quick and easy to eat rather than cook. Or I can't get to the gym for more than one workout a week. "Fitspo" then tells me I'm lazy or not dedicated enough. Like if I don't go to the gym 2 hours a day every day I'm somehow not even trying.
I have people at work where their entire life is: work, gym, meal prep, repeat. And they are on my case because I plan 14 of my 21 meals a week (plus snacks) and leave the rest to chance / whatever i feel like those days. I fit in a midweek session, proudly share this and they're questioning why I don't get up early and do it every day. When I say "Life gets in the way" suddenly I'm a wannabe, a try hard, or subject to a lecture on motivation. Just do it, to me, is a put down.
That's why "JDI" rubs me the wrong way. Because I'm not always lazy, but I'm doing better than I was a year, 2 years, or hell even last week. I'm making lifestyle changes in a manner that will make them stick long term and in a way that I won't cause physical harm to myself. Yes I could probably push harder, but I like a life balance. And…life is the reason I try to be better. I want a life back. JDI undermines the effort I put in."
A bias for action is different. Instead of saying that you need to be constantly doing everything you could possibly do, a bias for action is the idea that you just need to do something.
If you want to work out, you may not have time for a super intense "Just Do It" workout. But I bet you can do one pushup.
A bias for action accounts for the fact that you have a life. You don't always have to take action: sometimes you really are too busy and there really are other things to worry about.
But it also acknowledges that it's possible to do too much planning. That, as Jay Acunzo says in his podcast, "it will never be the perfect time to [do] something, but it's always the right time."
Even if you can only do one pushup, that's one pushup more than you did yesterday. It shows can workout, even if only a little, and it's something you can build from.
And a lot of the time doing one pushup turns into a bigger workout anyway.
How Can You Develop a Bias for Action?
Developing a bias for action actually does take a little bit of planning. But it's key that it takes only a little bit.
This what Amazon means when they say that business moves quickly. Too many businesses spend hours in meetings and boardrooms, debating layouts and formats and messaging and color schemes before anything has been created.
Amazon is saying "Stop. Let's start by making something, and work from there."
There's still planning that goes into the process, but that planning is much simpler. The plan doesn't need to be perfect up front.
I used to be a little intense about chess, and there's a lesson from former World Champion Gary Kasparov that applies here: "It is better to have a bad plan than no plan."
With a bad plan, you can start doing stuff. You'll learn to make better plans over time.
With no plan you're just spinning your wheels (if that).
Ok, so what should your plan look like when you first start working out? How complicated does it need to be?
Not complicated. You need to know two things:
What workout to do
The workout doesn't need to be 100% perfect. It can be one pushup if it needs to be. If you need a workout to start with, I included a super simple one in my article about what to do one your first day at the gym.
But it doesn't hugely matter what you start with. You can tweak the specifics later. What matters now is that you choose something to start with.
Do You Have a Bias for Action?
I have two questions for you to think about.
What's one way you can take action right now?
What's an excuse you've made for inaction that's actually pretty weak once you think about it?
