Reply to What does conventional wisdom say for when to get a 30 yr fixed vs 5ARM, 7ARM loan, etc.? by GiantsFan2010
I don't know anything about ARM aside from RISC :) but for refinancing a fixed rate mortgage, yes, you generally can. However, there are fees with that, so you'd have to factor those fees in to see when your break even point would be. Different lenders have different fees, so check and ask around.

>most scholars agree that the Greeks and Romans got round their lack of punctuation by murmuring aloud as they read through texts of all kinds.
As if people reading aloud wouldn't be bad enough, these were people murmuring aloud. I get it that you wouldn't be surrounded by people like you would be in a crowded elevator, but still, murmuring?

Haha nice. It seems that there should also be a joke about a medical doctor going to lunch before a complicated surgery or something. Any suggestions?

I have no problem with prison movies or books. The rock (movie) and Shawshank (novella plus movie) are two great examples in totally different ways, and both have prisons are their main settings.

Reply to When we count to 10 we are actually counting 9 as we start counting at 1 instead of zero. by [deleted]
While arrays start at zero and I dare anybody to challenge that, if I told you to count to one and you said, "one" do you think that means that you counted zero numbers since you ended at your first number?

My initial post used a 5k as my example, then you asked about what the motivation is for running a 5k so I responded to that, and you're again asking about exercise.
>Why is all motivation associated with the gym or exercise?
Because you keep asking about it. Motivation can be to keep studying late at night for school when you don't see an immediate benefit or when it's not really necessary. Maybe you have a decent job and are getting by well enough without stressing about more school. For your point about feeding your kids, having more degrees make you more employable and more likely to have a higher salary, so that's your motivation. Maybe you need motivation to clean the house. Will the roof collapse if you push off or skip a week of cleaning the bathrooms? No, but is it nice to have a clean place to live. There are plenty of non-exercise examples for motivation.

>First off, what's the motivation for running a 5K?
Maybe you're a couchslob that is realizing that getting out of breath walking up a single flight of stairs isn't normal, maybe the 5k is a fundraiser for a disease or issue that took a loved one, maybe your child's school has a 5k funrun and your child wants to compete in it with you. There could be lots of different reasons for wanting to run a 5k.
What's your second item? First off, but no secondly.

>I don't know why I think If you have a strong reason for doing something then it is done automatically regardless of motivation. And this strong resolve can also help in formimg habits.
"Motivation" is just another way to say "reason."
>However, what you've stated is also true as motivation can get you off the couch and have you withstanding high amounts of difficulties.
Because that motivation is your reason to get your slobass off the couch, to stay awake late studying new material, to eat just the foods on your diet menu during the holidays. If your only reason to do something is weaker than what your brain can think of to not do it, then it's going to be tricky to stay doing it. It's your mind fighting your mind; how can you convince yourself that a short-term struggle with a longer-term benefit is better than a short-term gain with a long-term negative? That's the question you have to ask yourself in lots of situations as you go through life. The G. Michael Hopf quote is accurate on a macro and micro scale: "Hard times create strong men, strong men create good times, good times create weak men, and weak men create hard times.” In your interpersonal relationships and within just yourself, to struggle sometimes is good because it means you're pushing yourself to new expansions past your comfort zone which lead to new developments and a sense of accomplishment at what your were able to do when you hadn't been able to do that before.

As an example, you're a couchslob that wants to run a 5k funrun in a few months. Sure, perfectly reasonable. What's going to get your fat slobass off the couch? You can start training tomorrow, enjoy your last day of freedom! Tomorrow, eww, it's too sunny outside. I don't want to get sweaty and sunburned. I'll stay inside and clean the house! See, still productive.
You can come up with all sorts of excuses to do anything other than move closer to your goal. Motivation is a two-part idea that first gets your aforementioned slobass off the couch and then secondly keeps you walking, jogging, running, ... When it's hot outside, when your knees hurt, when the kitchen is a little dirty and would make a great excuse to skip exercise.
After a while of meeting your small step goals of walking for a mile a day and then jogging for a day, you do eventually build up to that long-term strongly built habit, but it takes time, devotion, and motivation.
