Looking for answers

When you are getting closer to your 30th birthday you start thinking of what you've accomplished so far, what you've learned and what matters (actually that might be a good reason for finally seriously reading some philosophy books).
Quite randomly I encountered two pages which seem to meet these "needs".
While everythingcounts is more about personal development in professional life (but not only; "Excellence is not a relative term. It is the standard by which you judge what you do, and it’s a form of currency that helps you both capture material wealth and realize the inherent value of your potential."). The main message of the site is pretty simple - but not easy to follow. But imagine how the world could like... "Too many people and organizations function in a suspended state of mediocrity. They focus their attention and efforts on getting the big things right, but they ignore the little things that often make a big difference

Things I have learned in my life is more about lessons learned and personal experience without a specific focus (unless you call life "focus".
One could argue that it would be better to learn the stuff by your own or from your "personal guru" - but who has enough time for that, who has the skills to learn so quickly, and who is so lucky to meet such people (and realize that they are those you are looking for)? I don't. So let's check whether these websites will learn me enough.

P.S. When browsing my favourites I (re)found zenhabits. Not being very familiar with zen it is hard for me to say how much it has common with it - but some pieces of advice seem pretty simple and worth reading (check for instance simple living manifesto).

P.P.S. This is not all about reading philosophical books I mentioned at the beginning. But hey, everyone needs to start somewhere (and "everything counts in large amounts" :-)).
