Yesterday I told you how Arnold became the highest-paid movie star of the ‘90s…
And never went to one audition.
How did he do it?
He cheated!
But not the illegal way — the smart way.
Today I want to tell you another story about cheating smart.
Cheat To Swim
Every year, thousands of business books are written.
Most are quickly forgotten.
But there’s one that I hear my friends still talking about, even though it was written fifteen years ago.
It’s called The Four-Hour Work Week.
And the author, Tim Ferris, is an expert at smart cheating.
One of my favorite stories is how he learned to love swimming.
When he was a child, he almost drowned.
As an adult, he was still afraid of the water.
And when he tried to improve his swimming, he focused on kicking harder, but that never worked.
He thought he would stay a bad swimmer for the rest of his life until a friend told him an interesting fact:
Your legs only increase your speed 3%.
Ah ha!
So he learned a different technique where he didn’t need his legs.
It worked.
And now he swims for miles in the ocean for fun!
Thank you
You’re welcome!
I can’t swim.
I was born near the mountains and I prefer skiing.
But the truth is I’ve been scared to swim since I’ve kept kept under the water by another kid for a stupid game.
Thank 😊 TI swimming is really great method
Hmm, tension increases in your stories … waiting what will be next , and next.. Hmm…
Very interesting story!
Thank you,,that story can help to be smart not only in swimming ,but in learning English too 🙂
I think all these examples are about how to make.money faster as a goal ,cheating fhe reallty and perhaps other people…but maybe it can work with English, why not?
Interesting! ☺️
It was very interesting, I like it very much, thank you. -:)

Its an interesting story waiting for more.
Hi ! Ryan . You are very funy !!!
Thank You !
About Arnold : It was as if the discussion was about the best movie actor,not the best paid. Am I wrong somehow ???.
Arnold is a movie actor who had a huge success in the time when the “niche” was empty like this.
About Tim Ferris, he had a fear of water as a child and maintained that as an adult.
But I think he cross the ocean on board a yacht, without having to use his legs.
Have a wonderful weekend !
Smart cheatings have always been the ones that worked fastest and low energy consumption, sometimes we are obliged to use them to achieve the desired results!
Well, I also think that legs are not very helpful for English…
Exciting what next?
Ha!
This story is interesting, Thank you, I appreciate
Thank you!
