Leonardo knows, if he does not repeat he will forget up to 70% of what he has learned within the first week.

MindZip helps you to remember everything you learn. On the cover picture this is Leonardo, he likes to read and learn, and he makes study notes because he wants to repeat them.

If you repeat what you have learned, you can internalize it within a few months into your long term memory. Usually we don’t do it, as it requires discipline and you need to organize yourself. But here is the biggest efficiency potential for 300 million students and self-paced learners.

Think about, how successful would you be, if you could remember all the key takeaways of all the books and articles you read, seminars and courses you attended and if you could easily apply them into your life?

If you learn something new it is like a journey, you follow the thoughts of the author.

If you want to repeat and internalize what you have learned focus on those essentials that are relevant for you.

It would be the best if you make your own study notes when you learn something new and save them in a structured way, "ZIP" them.

Whenever you have a situation in your life where you need what you have learned, you have a place where you can easily access it, "UNZIP" it. But in the best case you have already internalized it. And therefore we built MindZip.

First of all we created a format to make repetitions most efficient and to enable the exchange of them with other people. So our content are thoughts, or better chains of thoughts. A thought can be up to 320 characters, a pic can be attached, tags and the source.

With MindZip repetition becomes easy with 3 basic options. Hide thoughts that you don’t want to see again, REPEAT starts an individual repetition schedule for this thought and IMPORTANT starts to repeat and sends an additional push notification.

The MindZip Study Coach organises your whole library and creates a daily agenda. Out of ten-thousands of thoughts from hundreds of books, seminars, videos, any source. With 5 minutes of MindZip a day you can internalise up to 20 books per year.

Until now we built the whole system on all platforms. You can create and study and everybody can also publish his study notes and connect with like-minded people.

MindZip is like Instagram for brilliant thoughts, you can create and publish thoughts and inspire other people. It will become Wikipedia for compressed knowledge. And like listening to music in Spotify you can bookmark and learn thoughts in playlists. And last but not least Google Analytics for knowledge.

You can make an audience see nearly anything, if you yourself believe in it.

I am grateful for what I am and have. My thanksgiving is perpetual. It is surprising how contented one can be with nothing definite - only a sense of existence. Well, anything for variety.

I loved working with Valerie. That was the most wonderful revelation to find that when we are on a set and we're playing our roles, we're like separated twins. We can almost finish each other's dialogue.

You can use martial arts to tell a different story. Ang Lee used martial arts in 'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon' to talk about love.

Learn the wisdom of compromise for it is better to bend a little than to break.

An honest politician has no goodies to toss around. This limits his effectiveness profoundly, because political power in India is dispersed throughout a multi-tiered federal structure; a local official who has not been paid off can sometimes stop a billion-dollar project.

A ballad once in a while doesn't go amiss.

It’s not your job to like me, it’s mine.

People will still love and hurt and yearn.

When I was 15, I never thought I'd live to see 21. And then I became 21, and I'm like, 'I'll never live to see 30.'

New Age values are conscious evolution, a non-sectarian society, a non-military culture, global sharing, healing the environment, sustainable economies, self-determination, social justice, economic empowerment of the poor, love, compassion in action, going beyond religious fundamentalism, going beyond nationalism-extreme nationalism, culture.

I consider each business investment based on concept and revenue.

I was fooling everyone by surrounding myself with funny people. But then I put myself out there - writing my own sketches, going on stage with nobody surrounding me - and for some reason people were still laughing.

I actually find flying therapeutic.

There is hope and a kind of beauty in there somewhere, if you look for it.

The comfort of having a friend may be taken away but not that of having had one.

If I wasn't a comic or TV star, I really wanted to be a photojournalist.

I want to create the largest-ever participatory art project and highlight the concept of Shadow Philanthropy, where people help others create work without taking credit for it - through this we can really change the world.
