Some years ago an old boss, who were also a mentor, gave me a lesson about taking notes. He came with an old notebook from the seventies where he took notes from things he was reading back then. He told me: If I don't take notes of what I read after some time I forget most of it. The knowledge isn't gone, it just gets lost in my head, but when I read those notes, I can remember more than what I wrote. Keep notes of what you read and you will see how useful they are.

So even if It took some years, I started to take notes of things I am reading and it really helps me quickly to recall the key points from each book, and as Jordan Peterson says, writing helps you organize your thoughts . I started this year and I already have notes on 20+ books. I find it much more valuable when I read and take notes. I also take notes from posts and comments I really enjoy. I am using google keep to save my notes as it is very easy to move things from phone to PC.

I will share my favourite some notes I made from TRP posts, replies, asktrp replies, and related sites as a gift and to serve as an example. I like to re-read them from time to time or when I know there is something off and I need to reset my mindset.

The posts are in order they were read/saved, it is not a ranking. (I use numbers to separate topics and letters to group notes with the same message, but I couldn't make reddit understand it, and had to change everything to letters). I take no credit for anything written bellow, as I just copypaste most of it into my note.

a. LTR Should be easy.

aa. Your job is to relieve her of the heavy burden of "Thinking". Thinking is the thing she hates the most, she does not want to think, she wants to live in a world of feels. It is your job to keep her happily and comfortably ensconced in your frame, the minute she tries to assume control of a relationship , you have failed and she is gone and it is your fault. Do not come in here whinging that your bitch got railed by Chad, you gave her the keys to his door. ab. Permanent inbuilt dread is crucial to your success as the boss in the relationship. You can love her, you can be scared to lose her, but you must be willing to lose her in order to keep her. https://archive.is/pRQyq

b. Comment/zyzz quote in Post about lifting benefits. https://archive.is/Jo7AC

This might get some hate but lifting can really change the way you act and the way other people see you. "I dont workout for chicks, i workout to create an aura. when i walk into a room, introduce myself to someone, go for a job interview, i love looking dominant, in charge, and in control. I love walking past and having people point and talk about me. i love the fact that when i go somewhere with thousands of people. almost all of them will remember who i am when it is over, and i didnt even have to say a word (this was the case before people knew who i was) None of this will make sense to any of you once you get the physique and know whats its like. I know it sounds like im bragging, but think of it as driving a ferrari in real life. Why do people drive ferraris? to get attention, looks, exert dominance and superiority from the norm, and to get people talking..but it also inspires jealousy and haters on the person driving. Thats exactly what i experience IRL" - Zyzz

c. *Men love down by sacrificing, women love up by worshipping. https://archive.is/qiEcv

d. Money is the life of the mind. Debt is slavery. https://archive.is/qDdn8

e. When the Iron doesn't want to come off the mat, it's the kindest thing it can do for you. If it flew up and went through the ceiling, it wouldn't teach you anything https://archive.is/tTGdQ

f. The things you want, you probably don't want anyway, nor know what you would do if you got them. These are decisions for a high quality man, and he's a few years in the future, on the other side of the groundwork you haven't done yet https://archive.is/EVKtu

g. How to get my husband become alpha? https://archive.is/mTMdl Men become strong out of necessity. Becoming strong is hard and men only do it when they have no other choice. Lenin was sent to a Siberian Gulag. Hitler and Castro were imprisoned. Gangis Khan's wife was kidnapped by a rival tribe.

h. The tragedy of feminism: generations of women going to the grave upset that they were not men, without ever having been women. Indeydius https://archive.is/e9QEd

i. OP suggests you to not reply immediately after watching a snap, MentORPHEUS comes with wisdom: Try actually being busy with life, instead of crafting an illusion to this https://archive.is/YKjGF/

j. Knowledge is pointless without application, if you have to repeat one phrase from the entire article to yourself, it should be this. If you are too scared to do new things, you’re a prisoner of your comfort zone https://illimitablemen.com/2015/10/22/how-to-be-happy/

ja. I accepted myself in spite of myself. I stopped beating myself up for being a loser and started praising myself for doing what I could to build myself. Even if I don’t have the level of success/stature the ridiculously high standards of my ambition demand of me, I accept what I have and who I am as long as I do my best. Because your best is all you’ve got, to demand more than that is to dangle yourself a carrot that is constantly snatched away.

jb. I enjoy the journey of becoming slightly less shit everyday, I enjoy the grind, the struggle, the hustle. You have to in order to get anywhere. And if my best isn’t enough, so be it. I will try something else. I’m fine with being imperfect.

jc. I accept failure as an inevitable part of life, it’s better to fail because you’re not good enough than fail because you’re scared you won’t be good enough. used my fear of being a loser to motivate myself and start taking action where I was once avoidant. I’m far more scared to be a loser than enter conflict or experience an awkward social situation.

jd . I didn't became the man i am today because i had an easy life

l. Most people are just too locked into their video games, sports, hobbies to get out and make mistakes and learn enough to develop amused mastery. Safe havens can become prisons. https://archive.is/qae23

m. ‘chick crack’ works so well in PUA technique. heartiste.wordpress.com/2013/02/27/chick-crack/amp/

n. Remember, you don’t miss a lift because you were too weak through the entire range of motion. You miss a lift because you were too weak through your very weakest part of the lift. (this applies to other areas of our lives) https://www.strongerbyscience.com/help-squat-catch-deadlift/

o. How to be in a good mood: Accept what comes your way, what you have to do what you feel and trust everything will be fine. for Acceptance, meditate. Being mode. For Trust, experience life, see where you prevailed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QxonYxj3pdE

p.Young women want a finished product. they do not want to wait around while a younger guy figures out the world, while giving her a running commentary about his experiences, little triumps and failures. most of all, younger guys are boring to younger women because younger guys think younger women want to engage intellectually—whereas an older guy knows that what young women want is to feel emotions. https://archive.is/nCEXL

q. The "problem" is that most of the bonding most men develop with their girls stem from scarcity. Only their partners provide them with sex, sex feels great, an association happens. Without scarcity, you're bound to have a harder time bonding, and without the bond you remain rational, which makes things mechanical rather than "magical". In time you'll start to admire other traits in women besides their capacity to receive your cock, and then you'll notice you can still bond. https://archive.is/Osbnm

r.There was a good post a while back that likened AWALT to the gun safety rule: assume all guns are loaded, no matter what. In an individual instance, you likely aren't in danger. But in the small probability that things do go wrong, the consequences are so dire that you should never expose yourself to that risk in the first place. https://archive.is/submit/

s. In a parallel world my hamster might have won and my life is totally different now. (the post is better than the quote) https://archive.is/PV3f2

t. When relationships with sexual and lifestyle value end, men are liable to feel pain from loss. This is a cost I've factored into my assessment of the value of relationship. "Experience life in all possible ways -- good-bad, bitter-sweet, dark-light, summer-winter. Experience all the dualities. Don't be afraid of experience, because the more you experience the more Mature you become. There is never a level of relationship closeness or intimacy at which you expressing any sort of emotional pain will not begin to erode her attraction and faith in you. https://archive.is/Gfm5r

u. Most people driving around in a Maserati or Mercedes bought on finance are misrepresenting their net worth to others. Imagine if there was a law saying that cars bought on finance had to have a notice painted on them – a bit like a health warning on a box of cigarettes. This might say something like “This car is not owned by the driver. The bank is just renting it to them. He / she is living above his / her means but wants you to think they are wealthy so they appear more attractive / successful“. The car finance market would dry up overnight. https://theescapeartist.me/2014/12/12/get-rich-honestly/

v. with no choice but to use my knowledge and experience to find a girl who is currently in the right container at the right temperature, and enjoy her while she is temporarily in that state, and not lament when those conditions change and she happily and eagerly fills the container that she truly desires to be in. http://www.rooshv.com/the-true-nature-of-women
